Bought an F1C as a possible alternative to Mobius as a dash cam. Not sure if I am missing something or this camera just won't do what I expect.
My Mobius cams start recording on external power on, close out and stop on external power off. Lather, rinse repeat.
The F1C does not seem to be able to do that in any combination of settings. If there is a guide to setup such a system I would appreciate a link.
Frustrating is that not all of the settings in the app are available in the camera menus and most remain undefined or simply do not seem to change anything.
In the app, in Camera System Setting, what are the following supposed to do:
A) Quick capture, seems to make no difference on power on
B) External Power
1) Power On, this seems to be what all settings do
2) Charge, not expecting this to work since it is the capacitor model
3) Record, seems to just power on, not start recording on external power
4) Dash Cam, seems to just power on, not start recording on external power
After changing settings and trying probably 100 combinations of settings the camera did start recording when power was applied twice, not in a row, and never repeatable.
Thanks for any help.
