not as odd looking as some of their old models, change of direction for them is good to see

From what I see ( specs / hardware / design ), - this is kinda what western market needs and can be pretty competitive to other big-names on the market.
In has been introduced on Computex 2013/06/06 and already available for some time on Taiwanese market, but I dont understand why Papago don't try to push this model more actively to the Global market. Timing is always crucial when launching / releasing a new product in order to "reserve" place on the market.
If they will delay with Global sales, then it will be too late later on.

Maybe dumb question but why would you need wifi in a dash cam?

Maybe dumb question but why would you need wifi in a dash cam?

To wirelessly connect to the camera for live view, downloading files and changing settings

 

[Byr0n]

Ah ok, just wondered that's all

People post the obvious, downloading files, live view, changing settings etc.
But it has so much more potential. With proper dev support and setup, you basically turn a dash cam into a mass storage unit. For example, initially you have a 32gb card lets say. That fills up quick. Using a wifi source, you could potentially have a bigger drive in the car stored. You now can save unlimited storage.

Also, having a dual backup is always safer. Lets say you get in an accident and lets say the camera is toast with the card. Darn. Oh wait! The file was backed up on the second storage! Same goes if someone steals the device, you have a backup of them stealing it!

It can be supplement to other cams. Kind of off topic but lets say a camera does not have g shock, if you add wireless abilities you could allow your phone to give the camera GPS, g shock, etc

Maybe there is potential for cloud storage so your backup storage is away from the vehicle

I have thought about that,
but sadly I cannot think of any solid solution as cloud storage (here in canada anyways) would cost too much.

Lets say a 5 minute video is 500mb. A mobile plan for 500mb as about $70. A data only plan for 1 gb is $20.
Clearly, 1 gb is not enough. You can get about 15gb for $100. That is a bit better, but at $100 a month I am not sure it is a viable solution.

Even if you only send your locked videos to the cloud, that can add up. Personally, I would like to upload all videos to the cloud but there is no viable solution data wise I can think of.

If used for accident only use, then the cloud would work. But beyond that, data cost too much here in Canada.

Camera looks quite interesting in this photo.

Pity no GPS and motion JPEG video format.

Same manufacturer as Vico I guess....
