The last couple of days the weather has not been to good here, lot of rain. So I got a chance to installed the camera and get a little around as taxi driver for some of the families today.

There is sometime a little white shine in the middle of the screen, its the reflection from the silver around the lens.
If people compare my clips with @kamkar1 clip of license plate, there might think something is wrong with the camera, that's not the case. USA plates is just much more hard to get good shoot on.

The first clip is where I leaving DC trough some tunnel system. Its a good place to test camera, it switch from dark to bright light and back to dark again.The tunnel facing to the south, so there is always a powerful light coming in around noon time.

Here is the bitrate, it keep very stabil in all the files I have upload, day and night so no need to add it to each single file.

Enter Virginia some overcast, but still good light, the sun is in the front of the car, so here is some reflection from the dashboard. @ 4:00 you got a sneak peek of Pentagon on the right side of the screen.

Driving west on 66. A guy didn't read the BIG road sign and was in a hurry to switch the lane. I tried to take a close look on the license plate. I'm not sure what the first letter is.

A half hour before dusk, but no sign from camera that there is low light. Dark cloud is coming in and more rain to come.
In the next 3 clips I have muted the sound, got some private talk.

Early night and the heavy rain has slowed down. Lot of shine from street light, road and cars.
I think my wiper blades is close to end of life.

Night time and I'm on some darker road, with limit street light, still slow raining.

You can say a lot about our American friends, but make readable license-plates they can not.

Thanks for sharing! I think several people have mentioned the silver lens trim...

We look forward to viewing more footage! :)
 
There's a distinctive high frequency buzz in the audio, noticeable even in the video with the radio sound. :(
I like the timestamp in the upper part of the picture, though. :)

I think a CPL lens could be helpful to take some of the reflection.
