Street Guardian SG9663DC (DC = Dual Channel)

[Gibson99]

You'll need to DIY a bracket if you're unable to stick anything to the glass for whatever reason.

There is a thread on here somewhere where somebody 3-D printed a long clip shaped bracket that slides deep into the headliner of their hatchback. Camera then slips on to the 3-D printed T-Peg.

Edit here it is

yeah i had to get a little creative putting a cam in the back of my pickup truck, since the center piece of glass slid side to side. some trucks you can either roll down the back glass just like one of the side doors (4-door toyota tundra), or completely remove it (chevy avalanche), so you'd need some way to mount it to the head liner or to the metal frame/body just inside the head liner. i modified a striker plate for a household doorknob so it would stick down from the window frame but still have an opening for the lens to see through. it kinda blends into the dash/stereo in the first pic, but once you know that, the pic makes a lot more sense: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/ch-100b-video-review.15063/#post-237707

Just watched some vision of Jokiins new Dual Cam .. Day and Night - Front and Rear for the first time

Wow ... I'd certainly be pretty chuffed having one of those .. excellent work there, jokiin.

Congrats and credit where due .. that's some pretty impressive gear, right there .. very nice.

appreciate the feedback however we still have a long way to go with firmware fine tuning, we have barely started any of the image quality related adjustments as yet

 

[jokiin]

We're a week from the last week of the month. How are things progressing?

we have everything on hand and ready for production bar one final piece which still needs to go through a QA process, need that sorted before we can get it finished

specs are still subject to some adjustment

@Jokin- a semi-off topic question so that I may learn something Is there a lot of difference between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and do you see the Traditional Chinese language fading away in time? Just curious

Still replenishing the piggy bank here but it's looking like I'll be having one of these before too long

Apparently quite a bit of difference between simplified and traditional Chinese, if given the choice of only one for things like settings menus then we usually just choose traditional as it seems to better suit what's needed, technically we don't need it since we're not trying to sell into those markets anyway but leaving it in is more about making things easier for our staff in China, not all of them have a good enough grasp of technical terms in English

........not all of them have a good enough grasp of technical terms in English

Would apply to a lot of native English speakers as well. Regional differences are maddening to say the least.

Sadly in the US, "tu habla inglais?" Is something that isn't asked enough before companies hire someone who will be interacting directly with customers.

Absolutely agree

 

[bogatkev]

such as?

Either a suction cup for the glass or maybe a magnet for the roof. I'm sure I can work something out eventually, it would just be nice to have alternative mounting options provided.

 

[jokiin]

Suction cup mount will be available as an option for the front camera

That will be a nice temporary mounting solution. There are times when something temporary is desirable.

The same mount will work for a few other models we have coming, even though it's less appropriate for a dual channel model it made sense to make our mount compatible across as many models as possible

That makes sense, and provides more options for installation. Mounts are very important to me and the versatility is certainly welcomed.

any eta on preorder? sometime this month? or would it be next month?

 

[kamkar]

QUE ?

[kamkar]

I can say i am a good painter in Mexican, but anywhere they know what that mean they cant afford to hire me, or they can get Miguel for much less and he might be just as good.

Yo soy un pintor excelente,,,, i think,,, been a few decades since i worked with Miguel and he had to deal with me leeching on his native language.

We should be able to open pre-orders pending a final action item that has a variable attached. We will let everyone know as soon as possible. Stand by to stand by.
