Rear Dash cam

[Sunny]

The dome z7 seems to be around the price of the G1WH and is smaller. Do you have a video to show how good the quality is on it?

Size comparision:
G1WH, Z7, G90:

I think tho the G1WH will be too big in the back.


Yes I would like something with a close price range to the G1WH.

For 40-50$ you can not get stealth looking dashcam. Mobius, Innovv are the closest in price vs mini-size.

Ok I do like the mobus and it is small so it won't block much of the view. Where do you recomend to buy this?

I think there is a section of trusted / authorised re-sellers if you check Mobius sub-forum or even main page.

One of the most thorough and up to date lists of trusted Mobius vendors is available on the RCGroups The Mobius ActionCam Support Thread.

Ok I was looking here and saw some buyers (https://dashcamtalk.com/mobius/). I saw the one on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00DP1WYD2) Since it does look like the seller is in the US for quick shipping. Should I get the standard one or the wide angle lens one? The wide angle seems cheaper.

Spytec has a good reputation here on DCT forum and also Amazon feedback. They are also presented here ( @spytec ). So, if any troubles / questions, - you may always contact them via DCT forum.
Wide vs standard FOV lens: wide lens gives you more side view, but objects are slightly further. With narrow lens is less side view, however ( objects ) numberplates are closer and easier to read.

I would like to setup a rear dashcam, however my back windows are tinted so I'm guessing that wouldn't work?

You can boost EV (Exposure Value) to compensate for tint.

Here's a clip of my A118-C rear cam through my very dark privacy glass -

For comparison here's the SG9665GC in the same vehicle and the same street -

I forgot to mention also how does the Mobius handel tinted windows?

 

[jokiin]

it will handle privacy glass better than aftermarket tint

Ok can you also make it record even when the power goes because if I park my car I would like it to still record.

Mobius has a function to continue to run on battery at power off in the latest firmware, might suit your need

Ok and 1 last question. How long can it record off of battery?

around 2 hours on the current model, they have a bigger battery now

Hmm ok I might put in some small external battery so it can get a bit longer. Is there a cam similar to the mobius but will have motion detection?

Constant charge/recharge cycles and the extreme temperature fluctuations won't be good long term for batteries in an automotive environment. This is why most dashcam shoppers/owners opt for supercapacitor based products.

Ok, Where I live tho it hits 100 - 120 degrees fahrenheit where I live so the car does get super hot. So far with my current cam the G1WH has had no issues. So if I get the mobius I should just just it keep running while parked?

I use a power bank to run my Mobius in loop-recording mode when I leave the car parked unattended. But I wouldn't do so in the temperature range you describe. You've been lucky with your G1WH so far, but you're asking for trouble.

For this job the Panorama X1 would be my choice, but it's $200. Consider the $90 Blacksys CF-100 ... outstanding value for money ...
