I'm not terribly familiar with what to look for in adjusting a dash cam, but I do know when something looks "off". Such is the case with my SGZC12RC V2 units I'm installing in the sides of my car:
I have made zero image adjustments to any of my cameras, that file came straight from the unit on default settings. Now, there IS a house somewhere above the hood of the red car, but you'd never know from the video! There are also tall trees and a beautiful blue sky, none of which is visible.
How can I properly adjust this camera so that it gets the best daytime image possible? What should I look for in adjusting for nighttime also? I know "quality" is relative, but if someone could give me some pointers on where to start, that would be wonderfully appreciated!
(Side note: I'm running SG9665GC V2 units front and rear, and those likely need adjusting as well. Will soon add GitUp Git1 cameras to the mix as well, waiting on mounts for those guys.)
I do want to say that the Street Guardian cameras I have installed now show huge potential, but they seem to need some adjustment to get there. These side guys have incredible detail, but something is off with the sky. (Exposure? White balance?)
