- More than I can review. ;)
Thank you @GearBest for providing MATEGO MG288 Capacitor Dashcam for review.
Gearbest product link: *****************************************
Description & Features: 2.0" screen, up to 32GB microSD supported.
It's capacitor based and has Novatek NTK96650 chipset and AR0330 sensor.
Video Resolutions: 1080P (1920 x 1080),720P (1280 x 720); 140 degree FOV.
Loop times: 1min,2min,5min, 10min ; Power supply: 12V.
*****************************************
Summary: will be updated as I review and test but will note things as I go on.
PROS: Great build qulity, very discrete as it's all black and pretty small.
>Very sturdy mount.
>12v DC in so hard-wiring is easy without down converting adapter.
>Lots of language options.
>Day video is very good
>Night is average quality. It's decent with traffic lights but not great in dark areas.
>Audio quality is very good.
>No heat shift focus as of yet.
CONS:
>No 3 min loop cycle option.
>No manual
>Proprietary 12v plug so can't use battery pack
[Note:
As for the micro USB port, it's interesting.
It's mainly for connecting to a PC and has options like, webcam, mass storage or regular working mode.
It does get power and works with 5v but it doesn't auto start.
I connected power via micro USB and it stayed off.
However, I manually powered it on and it started recording fine as long as the micro USB was getting power so it does work if you only have microUSB as a power source.
It'd be great if the micro USB port also worked the same way as the 12v port to start recording automatically].
