Thanks Vico, yes Frank Kei is supporting me well so far. I've sent both cameras to him and he will test and probably exchange them. Good news, about the coming better resolution. Also good about fixing G-sensor -- I was worried before I bought that it may not be sensitive enough, but the opposite was true. Half the time it's in Emergency Mode, while set on Low. These are American streets, plus I have a sports car, you know...
Left the working one plugged in plenty of time to charge the supercaps, but it just dies instantly on unplug. The morning I went to the car to get the camera to forward to Frank, the car battery was flat again, even though I'd enabled Parking mode. I just can not leave this camera running overnight in the Jeep. Maybe their Power option detects ignition and kicks on Parking mode, but this won't work for me as I need USB comm with the cameras. Removing the SDCards to read on the phone would be useful, but I can't be climbing all over the back seats to retrieve the tiny SDcard; I'm 62 years old. There is no reason it can't have wifi and an app at these prices; soon others with this rez will, much cheaper. This wifi lack prevents a whole market from buying this camera. (RC flyers)
I've actually bought these cameras to install in my Tesla, which shouldn't have the battery capacity issue that ICE cars have, although I have yet to do the math.
Madd66, the time stamp was perfectly in the lower-left corner for me. Only thing is it has the **OPIA2** advertisement all the time on the screen, which is fairly objectionable.
