Image Quality, Summer Heat, and Parking Mode
Time for a quick update on the Vueroid S1 4K after dealing with some intense summer weather.
@VUEROiD
Over the last few weeks, we had extreme heat outside, reaching up to 39°C (102°F). As we all know, the interior of a parked car gets significantly hotter than that. The great news is that the S1 4K handled this flawlessly. It did not fail a single time and just kept recording. If it were to heat up too much, it would shut down, and once at a safe temperature, it would continue to record.
I did notice one detail during the absolute peak heat. After sitting parked in the blazing sun, there was a focus shift where the edges of the image became a bit blurry. However, as soon as the camera cooled down again while driving, the focus completely returned to normal.
I have to praise the overall image quality of this unit. Whether you are driving in bright daylight or completely in the dark at night, the camera is able to capture plates very well.
The parking mode is incredibly reliable. I am using the motion detection feature, and I get almost no false positives at all. To really test it, I compared the footage against a second camera that was running in continuous low bitrate recording. The Vueroid did not miss a single real event! On top of that, the camera is extremely power efficient, which results in a very long parking runtime.
One quick tip regarding the G-sensor: I actually had to change the driving sensitivity to "low". On the default setting, the sensor kept triggering event recordings just from driving through normal roundabouts. Changing it to low fixed this completely.
I also want to point out that the microphone is still one of the absolute best you can currently get in any dashcam.
Overall, the camera has been working perfectly without any issues since the day I got it. Vueroid has truly brought a wonderful camera to the market, and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable setup.
