Hi All.
I have a 512GW mounted at the front and a 412GW at the rear. I do have some questions though!
1st, I made the mistake of giving them both a switched live using the nextbase hardwiring kits.. (can't stand trailing cables!) That works great, but I really want to use the intelligent parking mode, as I live in a 'not so wonderful' area, and wanted that to be automatic - the battery life isn't up to that on either camera for an overnight. I've switched the rear one to a permanent 12v today, and will do that for the 512gw tomorrow. So - am I correct? permanent 12v will power both cams for all driving and allow intelligent parking mode to run? The battery life doesn't seem amazing - the 512 is brand new, and the 412 about 3 months old.. that never improves, so I'm happy to eliminate the issue.
2nd, on the 412 I can switch off the nextbase logo but cant seem to do it on the 512. Is that normal? Nothing against Nextbase, just don't want the logo all over my videos.
3rd, on the 512 it's creating two versions of every file. I don't need the smaller one, will never use the WiFi/mobile features, so would like to turn that off to save space - but can't see how to do it.. Have I missed something?
4th - what is the native resolution of the sensors on these? is it actually 1440, or is that generated via software? I haven't experimented yet, but is the 1080 at 60fps a better quality file? 1080 is certainly hi enough detail, I'd like the video to be as smooth as possible though!
Grateful for any responses...
Thanks!
Ben
