What are the origins of the "Chinese generic" B40 A118 cameras? Who came up with them? Was it VIOFO, but they weren't called VIOFO back then or something?
When I bought our first dash cameras in 2015, I bought a pair of the "Chinese generic" A118C's under the SpyTec name or something. These were really popular back then, but there didn't seem to be a specific person or company behind their design, and I didn't recall hearing anything about VIOFO at the time? But the B40 A118 forum is now under VIOFO, so is it a correct assumption that they're the originators of the design but just weren't officially organized as or called VIOFO back then? Curious to understand how exactly this format of camera came about. Thanks
