SG9663DCPRO+ video review with low light sample footage. Anyone else using this dashcam?

[Strange_Hitbox]

I recently had the DCPro+ put into my '07 Corolla (yes, it's an older car but I'll be damned if she doesn't run like a dream). Spent many weeks gathering footage and really testing it out while I put this YT video review together.

A few things worth noting:

• Low light footage is the best I've ever seen. I've owned the SG9665GC v2 and the SGGCX2PRO, and now the DCPro+. In the most pitch black conditions you can spot vehicle makes + models. In all other conditions plate numbers appear nice and clearly.
• Bigger buttons and screen than previous gen models, which is nice
• Polarizing filter is helpful in reducing windshield glare
• Ultra wide angle. Widest I've ever seen out of all the SG dashcams I've ever owned.
• Menu navigation is still its weakest point, IMHO. Not a deal-breaker, though
• Still no backlit buttons. Sad face.

Otherwise this dashcam is a definite improvement over the previous gens. Anyone else running this dashcam in their vehicles?

Nice review thanks for that.

FYI about Menu navigation: I wanted to share more info on why we don’t have one short touch of the menu button to enter the menus. (so anyone seeing this understand)

It’s a long press to enter the menu as we want it to be an intentional decision when someone accesses the menus.

You touched on the reason we do this when you mention the high-stress situation, the last thing we want is someone reaching for the emergency button and hitting the menu button by mistake and causing the camera to stop recording right when they need it the most, just wanted you to understand the logic behind why we set it up the way we did, nice review though, very professional and we like your presentation style.

Night Performance will be improved further with our next firmware release. Check out the before and after WDR on/off examples in the following threads. (changes will come to all Street Guardian IMX291 products)

SGGCX2PRO+ beta firmware

If it work well WDR are a nice thing to have, but in most cameras WDR function are very basic and it can even be worse to use. This is true; with most cams WDR function doesn't do well at night or at best does nothing :cautious: But then again almost nobody has the zeal of making features in...

Street Guardian SGGCX2PROPlus, new firmware MOD

Changing my appearance to Russia i have watched the video :) If Denmark worked a cop would have pulled over that smoking truck and sent him to inspection, but Denmark dont work at the moment so if a cop saw a truck like that he would just look the other way. I think we Danes need to stop voting...

You're the only dashcam company I've bought from whose dashcams are continually supported with firmware updates! Keep up the awesome work.
