New owner, tips to improve quality?

(apologies for the watermark, I don't know what software to use to get the rear camera PiP)

Hi all,

I just setup the DR750S-2CH today and test drove it at 1080p60 (night mode on, brightness 1), see video below. I've since read that you should shoot in 1080p30, disable night mode, and set brightness to 3. Are there any other tips and tricks to improve the sharpness of the video?

the tips you have already are probably going to improve things, I don't think anything you do is going to make the video sharper though

The 1080p 60fps 25kbps Extreme mode performs better reading plates when driving.
But it drains more current in parking mode and reduces storage time on SD card.

Personally I use 1080p 30fps, brightness 3 and night mode off when driving.

If you're interested, I uploaded a Zip with some ffmpeg batch files to generate a PIP file without resorting to separate apps.

Tip it down one nick too much sky Ideal is 1/3 sky 2/3 everything else I use highest mode 30fps and on pause can read plates easily
