Powerucc Panorama2

AEE are possibly the biggest of the sport cam manufacturers here, they do very big turnover, that said though it's still a GoPro wannabee and lacks originality, if they had some marketing input they could certainly do a lot better, unfortunately for most Chinese manufacturers R&D just means Remember & Duplicate

AEE is a local GoPro knock off manufacturer, surprised they've sold some at those prices, very dear

Hello jokiin, I'm surprised they haven't hired someone like you to (a) explain to them certain Western preferences, and (b) take over the refinement, marketing and support of the product over here. Just 2 - 3 days of them hiring someone like you could be immensely profitable for them in terms of design changes and English-language presentation!

some factories do hire foreign staff for this kind of thing, in most cases many don't see that they're doing anything wrong, particularly if they have orders and have product to make, even if it's just more 'me too' type product, a lot of them lack vision

I raise a glass tonight to your understanding of classic Middle Manager Syndrome:

1. Don't rock the boat.
2. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours.
3. "They don't pay me to think."
4. The boss just said -- Do it. He didn't say to Do It Right.

( BTW, this isn't just hiring foreign staff. It's hiring someone who's genuinely interested in this stuff, and has the right set of communication tools. Otherwise, it's probably wasted money.)

a lot of companies here, particularly larger ones, are part government owned and fall very much into the categories you've mentioned

I like it: " R&D just means Remember & Duplicate "

In late 2011 my wife and I traveled to Chengdu and up the river gorge affected by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. (Yinxingxiang). We saw the villages that weren't obliterated by rockfalls from the crumbly schist mountains had been emptied for factory workers in the city making Apple iPhones. Back in Chengdu, our hotel was in the midst of the workers' "paradise" apartments -- modern, comfortable highrises (which didn't have electricity 24 hours a day). We viewed some of the workers' "entertainment" complexes; this was also our evening entertainment. I was extremely fortunate to be a Westerner traveling on what was intended to be a strictly domestic tour, so there were no attempts to sugarcoat conditions.

The government has done a massive undertaking in its attempts to reform society, and so there is not time to deal with individual free thinkers. It's like the Aldous Huxley novel "Brave New World" realized. Unfortunately, this model pervades all economic output, so if a worker wants to design improvements to a product in assembly, it is not so simple as contacting his immediate superior. It may be a generation (or several) until there is a logical, fair balance in the general workplace -- and I'm not even addressing human rights issues that many Westerners speak of. (I'm speaking simply of making better products.)

In a way, the USA and other Western countries are lucky the Chinese economy is structured with these deliberate government-caused inefficiencies, because they slow the growth of China as an economic powerhouse.

However -- it's very frustrating to see a good product like the Panorama2 with a few unfortunate design shortcomings, and know there's no way you can reach back and offer guidance!

I've visited Chengdu (actually been around quite a lot of China) and it's a nice part of the country

this begins at a very early age, was only having the discussion a few days ago about being doers rather than thinkers, it begins in Kindergarten and doesn't stop

That's Korean, different set of problems with thinking there (thinking they're right when they're not)

Good afternoon. Prompt? I'm on the program CarRecordPlayerSetup_Matego_Int.msi Google map- is not displayed. What to do?

not sure I'm clear on what you're saying but if it's a problem with the playback software maybe give Registrator Viewer a try http://www.registratorviewer.com/download_en.html

Good luck Jokiin, I'm completely lost on this one. Prompt.

only the reference to an MSI file and the map not displayed makes me think it's about the default playback software, possibly an O/S problem on the computer anyway but just throwing a suggestion out there based on a guess in the hopes that it helps, I understand that not everyone has English as their first language so getting support can be a challenge

Good evening. Program RegistratorViewerB.exe all displayed and video and motion on the map. program CarRecordPlayerSetup_Matego_Int.msi month ago Google map was not clear why gone? Sorry for the Google translator.

 

[jokiin]

not sure why your map is not showing in the default playback software, most tend to use Registrator Viewer anyway as it's a better program

for the default software problem you might need to contact your seller and see if they can find out from the manufacturer

sorry I can't offer any help about the problem

Good afternoon. Previously, the program CarRecordPlayerSetup_Matego_Int.msi worked super and video and motion on the map showed. And stopped working. I'll try to reinstall
Windows XP
, maybe the problem in a computer.

try reinstalling the program or on another computer maybe, it does sound like a Windows problem though

I've been in Seoul too, and it's a very friendly country. We took time out to visit each of the 3 casinos in 3 nights, and I won $1K USD in each one. Then when we returned to Hong Kong, our trip to Macau put us in the Venetian on the Cotai strip, and I lost that $3K+ in less than 20 minutes. These Asian casinos don't fool around.

I was thinking of Chengdu and the problems with the AEE SD23 model when I wrote my thread. The Korean-built Panorama2 is currently a better camera in every respect.


On a non-related note, the new VW Golf/Jetta Sportwagen I took our Panorama2 dashcam out of was rear-ended yesterday. The camera wouldn't have helped except to record the first part of the accident, when (car #1) the Camry driven by a female student from India (at Rutgers) got a tire flat, causing her to stop suddenly in the high-speed lane on the Garden State Parkway. Car #2 locked up his brakes but managed to avoid her. We were car #3 and missed both. But car #4, behind us, a Chevrolet Cobalt, made a nice impression on our rear bumper. He's the only one who got a traffic ticket. That'll cost him... about $2K for a proper fix. (Bumper cover, paint, internal crush components, maybe straightening the frame, loaner car, alignment & balancing on our car with only 2700 miles on it.) The girl who actually caused the chain of events was not cited, because no one hit her.

A dash cam wouldn't have helped except to establish that she was completely obstructing the high-speed lane, which prior had been moving at 75mph. Car #4 could sue her, but with #2 having left the scene and ours (#3) the only innocent "victim", the most he could hope for would be some shared responsibility to offer his insurance company.

it's a sad state of affairs if she could be sued for getting a flat tire

Two part reply. One, what was she doing in the highspeed lane -- there ware 5 lanes going in each direction -- if her tires were iffy, on a 15 year old car? And second, she went suddenly from 75+ to zero in a little over 200 yards with cars following. She didn't attempt to move off the roadway onto the grass median directly to her left. When she was fully stopped, she was blocking 60% of the asphalt driving lane with cars coming up behind us at ~120 feet per second. (BTW, all of the 4 "slow" lanes were all going at least 65mph, because after all this is New Jersey.)

It's not getting sued for a flat tire, it's getting sued for damages because of the accident caused by her actions. Personally, we've got our repairs covered by the following driver's insurance, but could have been killed if this had gone just a little differently.

When last seen her car was being hoisted on a flatbed truck, because it's too dangerous to attempt spare replacement on this section of roadway. Also -- she didn't have a jack or other tools in her trunk. Completely unprepared; an accident waiting to happen.

I don't want to belabor this, but found a Google Streetview link of this exact section of roadway: https://www.google.com/maps/preview...yDp0MQGOdZIwAqo7giosTw!2e0!4m2!13m1!1e5&fid=5

The incident happened in the leftmost lane, and unfortunately this Google image doesn't show how dense the traffic was at the time of our incident. Imagine the same road but 3-4X as many cars. I concede it would have been impossible for the Camry to get all the way to the right shoulder, which is preferred for disabled cars. But she had a safe shoulder to her left ... which is where she eventually wound up, after the accident, after I got out of my car, walked up and told her to move out of the roadway.

Back on topic, my wife has now been convinced that a dashcam is a really good idea, privacy issues notwithstanding. (Spouses might object that they are being recorded, and this is a discussion we had while I was buying the cam.) She now wants one -- and I'm happy to show her how to turn it off or clear the memory, if needed. This is almost like the US political discussion about NSA snooping and invasion of privacy issues, and like the larger picture, you can't have certain levels of protection without surrendering (some) personal privacy.
