Hy Guys.
First of all , please excuse any spelling mistakes : )
I'm new here , i am from ROMANIA and i bought the 0806 second Batch. from Amazon.com. I bought it along with the GPS receiver and the Hardwire kit to wire in to my car. I installed it in my car and tested it for 10 days roadtrip , more than 80 hours of recording time , and i am sad to say it is very dissapointing to say that i had a bunch of problems from the start.
I don't even know where to begin the list of problemes that i had :
1)Camera still shows that it's charging even thow the car is off or it is out of the mount - it does this until the battery is dead
2) The screen flickers when i start it in the morning ( continues th flicker until the camera is warm)
3) The firmware freezes often sometimes i can't use the middle button any more because of the freezes.
4) Sometimes the camera refuses to shutdown when power off.
5) Even thow the screen off time is set to 15 seconds sometimes it never turns off.
6) I had mounted in it 2 x64 GB Sandisk ultra cards but it never recordes on the second card , when the first one is full it overwrites it insted of wrighting on the second one. Each one individually works fine
7) GPS speed si way off , showing more than 30 or 40 km/h more than my real speed. On the hyghway it was locked at 170km/h even thow i had 130.
8)Microfone was off half of this time , it remainded off until the camera ran out of battery .
9) The camera even thow it doesn't overheat it smells like burned up circuits or overheated metal parts , at some point i had to open the windows to let out the smell.
Last firmware update is in Jan2015 - so it is the last one.
For me returning the product is not an option because of the shipping costs and all the hustle of shipping .
The only good thing i can think off it's the image quality. It's very good and it's the only reason for me to keep this camera still mounted . You could even compare it with the GOPROH3Black+ quality in pure daylight.
If you have any ideea how to correct any of the issues reported above , please leave me a comment.
In conclusion , i will neve buy something like this again
beter wait for a stable product ore invest in something with more quality. .
