I don't think I've seen any decent tests of it used as a rear camera yet.Very busy, lots of incomplete projects.
Dashcams have moved up the prority list recently though as the car is currently getting more use, probably going to do some research and decide if I want to upgrade my main front to 4K as well.
Mobius 1S looks interesting, I will probably grab one and give that a test eventually
I have been wondering how well the interior camera would work as a rear camera (after turning off IR)
I believe it is IMX307 which is apparently a "cut down version" (just what I found online, not my words) of the IMX291 used in the A139/A139 Pro.
I haven't seen any comparisons using the IMX307 as a rear but I suspect you would really would want a Starvis2 sensor at the rear. Most of the youtube videos seem to concentrate on comparing front dashcams not rear unfortuately.
The IMX307 is a newer sensor than the IMX291, basically the replacement, and designed to be a bit cheaper. They are both Starvis, but the IMX307 is really a generation younger. The IMX291 is in some ways a little better, and more expensive, but it doesn't have the DOL-HDR, while the IMX307 does, and the DOL-HDR is used in the A229 interior camera, which means it should be a pretty good rear camera and should do a better job of license plates at night. It is an FHD camera instead of 2K for the normal A229 rear, but most people are happy with FHD for the rear.
