Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself to this awesome and active community, Elbert here from California and loving the SGZC12SG so far. I have had it for about 2 days now and it works well, I opted to get something more on the reliable side versus something I had before that left a very bad impression. It was the WheelWhitness HD Pro, worked for about 1 day which I tested for 10 min. The next day after picking up my son, I checked the footage and there was no sound. The sound was shot and could not save anything to the event folder when I clicked on the emergency record button. Defeats the whole purpose of a dash cam in my opinion and I ended up returning back to Amazon and bought this unit!
So my experiences so far are the images compared to the WheelWitness are slightly less clear in regards to reading licenses plates albeit that was 1296p vs 1080p so it would not be a fair apple to apple comparison. At the end of the day, I will gladly pay more for better build quality and support.
Now my question is when I drove back today, by the way, today was the first day I actually tested it and at least the sound worked and when I hit the emergency button it saved the footage to event folder... off to a good start however I noticed the vibrancy of lighter colors were extremely overwhelming. For instance, the roads would be so bright I would not be able to distinguish the lanes and the plates were glowing bright white. By the way, I did have the CPL filter installed and that did help the reflection off the dash.
I have included a fragment video link below, please pardon the angry birds game sound in the background just picked up my son and heading back home, at around 5:16 the road is bright white:

Let me know if this is normal or if there is anything I can change on my end, for instance changing the exposure value. Thanks in advance!
