Street Guardian SG9663DC (DC = Dual Channel)

[khandu]

anyone that has registered for the warranty will get notified when available

Since i am waiting for the hardwire kit to come out to buy both the kit and camera in one go and get it professionally installed, I have obvisouly not registered yet for the warranty. How can I get notified about the hardwire kit? (apart from me coming to the forum time to time and checking all posts )

@jokiin - is this 200GB/256GB card ok to be used in the DC?

possibly, but not one we've checked, the Samsung cards are the only 256gb cards we have tested with at this time

they'll be listed on the site once available, we don't have a mailing list for this though

No problems, I'll look in to the Samsung ones. Rather I go with something that's been tried at least.
Had a few Sandisk cards go corrupt on me in my previous dashcam but they were the cheaper ones.
Thanks!

 

[jokiin]

You reminded me anyway, going to order some of the 400gb cards to test with

1) Can someone confirm that the connector labelled "CAM" on the front camera unit is a mini USB?
From the attached photo (taken from page 40 in this thread) it looks as if the connector labelled "CAM" is a micro USB and the connector labelled USB (the power input) is a mini USB.

2) Is the connector on the rear camera a mini USB?

I have some existing usb-cable wiring in my car that I'd like re-use as it's very troublesome to redo the cable to the tailgate (liftgate) - it requires the headliner in the car to be removed.

I'd appreciate if someone would attach some photos of how the connectors look on the final production unit front and rear camera, thanks

The cable(s) connecting the front/rear cameras on the DC are not USB - @jokiin has mentioned somewhere (probably in this thread) that it's a 10 wire cable.

ah thats disappointing. I had to use an extension for my thinkware rear camera to get to the back window of my truck topper. Wired it through a floor firewall under the passenger seat, used plastic tubing to protect it while its wired along the frame, then up at the tailgate. Since the thinkware cams use micro usb I was able to use a standard micro usb extension with no issues.

I know I am a unique case because I am willing to wire it all the way to the back of my trucks topper/cap, I know 3 m would be far too short for me.

won't be compatible

that's why we also include a 6M cable

oh i swear i read 3m somewhere above. nice.

 

[USDashCamera]

Haha. That's confusing. To be fair the Panorama X2 should be wiped from the history books, so I shall mention it no more!
What's the SGGCX2 then?

whatever happened to the panorama x2? did it just die off due to unreliability?

 

[jokiin]

comes with both

 

[jokiin]

died off due to lack of support

Very appreciative of having the 6M cable included, it allowed me to run the cable along the A-pillar, along the door frame sills and back up the C-pillar.

Just a quick question, I pressed the button to take a still photo and noticed it was pixelated when I tried to view it full screen and zoom in on PC.
Is it just taking a still frame capture of the 1920x1080 video or is it possible to take a higher resolution photo?

 

[jokiin]

it won't take a higher res photo as the native res is 1920x1080 anyway, how the photo turns out will depend on movement and lighting, you might find that a frame grab from the video is a better option, if you press the menu button while recording you get a photo, if you press the emergency button you get photo and video

 

[unco]

if you press the emergency button you get photo and video

Didn't realise it did both, handy to know! Thanks

Can the 6m and 3m cable be joined together to get 9m total?

I'm debating which way is the best to go with my vehicle, dual channel or two separate cameras. I don't want to run a dual channel rear camera cable along the roof lining due to curtain airbags, so that means going along under the floor door trim and then up into the tailgate (so lots of disassembly and cable length required.) I've got front and rear fuse boxes and already have two separate cameras wired in, so it's easy to source power for two separate cameras. I do want to avoid RF interference with the Australian DAB radio frequencies, currently reception is suffering with the rear Mobius killing sensitivity, it's located near the rear glass embedded antenna. I was thinking a dual channel set up might reduce the noise levels- given the power feed and main electronics are in the front camera?

If the capacitor gets drained in the main camera does it source the time from the GPS signal to reset the time? I've found my capacitor equipped Mobius' randomly loose the time- which makes finding footage very hard and also results in recent footage being overwritten due to the date being duplicated.

.

no, cable lengths that long can work but you can't join the cables

what type of vehicle is it?

GPS does sync the time but it has an RTC battery to keep the time, it doesn't rely on the capacitors for this
