I just recently purchased an A129 Pro Duo. I have read through posts on this forum, but I still have a few questions.
1. Normal for the Screen to Turn off? I had a dashcam before and the monitor always stayed on. But, with the A129 I purchased, the screen till turn on when I turn on my car, but after a little bit, the screen turns off. Is this normal?
2. Max Bitrate. I know that people have recommended setting the bitrate to high, but is there anything wrong with setting it to max? I got the SanDisk High Endurance 256 gig so I figured with the extra space and speed, I might as well set it to the max bitrate for the best quality. Is the slight improvement in video quality not worth the additional space?
3. Uploading Firmware. I copied the firmware file to the SD card (parallel to the DCIM folder) per the instructions, but I noticed that the firmware didn't update automatically once the car was turned on. Does the firmware have to be updated using a USB cord that's connected to a computer?
Thanks for any help!
