Hello,
Recently I bought this dashcam from Amazon. I was super excited to see how good this camera is ... and I was disappointed, to say the least.
I faced two major issues with a dashcam:
The first problem is well described in this thread: This thread from Dashcamtalk
Except that setting set to 2-wire and I'm running off the dashcam's 12V power brick.
The second problem is the video quality. I set the camera to 1080p 30 fps because I've heard on this forum that the quality is better @30fps.
However, the compression rate is terrible. All recordings are super pixelated. None of the license plates are readable. Heck, even my own hood is super-pixelated.
Here are some snapshots:

Link to video #2
I tried two different SD cards: One which camera came in (SanDisk HE) and the second one is Samsung 64Gb Evo Plus. No luck, same awful quality.
My main question, is it normal? Am I having too high expectations or is there something wrong?
Setup:
- All protective films removed.
- CPL not attached
- Standard power supply
- 1080p30
- 3 min recording
- Stock 1.22 FW
Hope I will be able to learn something... Thanks!
