I'm about ready to decide on the dashcam setup I want to go for but have a few ?s about these 2 models. ANY input on any of the points below would be greatly appreciated.
DR750S
- I like that it has cloud features. I plan to connect it to 3 different networks (home, work, and wife's work) so I can see a live feed and receive impact alerts. Anyone that uses this have any feedback on if it's actually useful?
- It seems YT vids show that the night vision is grainy. Is this still the case with updated firmware?
- Is the 60fps a noticeable upgrade, or is 30fps "good enough"? I saw a review say that 30fps is preferable at night...
F800 Pro
- Are the ADAS features actually useful and do you use them?
- Can you turn off certain ADAS features (lane departure, car in front of you starts moving) and keep other ones (crash detection)?
- I really like that the parking mode in the F800 Pro can be controlled by the camera itself and doesn't require an external device (ie. Power Magic Pro for the DR750S). I like that you can set it above a 12v (PMP highest setting) cutoff to like 12.3v to protect the battery better. Also, I like that the camera uses less power in parking mode. I don't really require a timelapse mode or motion detection, but if the camera runs a 1/3 the power, it's not a bad thing to have. If I got the 750, I think I would turn motion detection off and record only impacts.
tl;dr - the things that are keeping me from deciding between the 2 cameras are (DR750S) cloud features, 60fps, night recording quality VS (F800 Pro) parking mode, no extra device for parking mode, and ADAS features.
