What Brand is this Dashcam - DC1080 ?

[CoolCanuck]

I exchanged this dashcam after another cam one didn't work well. But, I have no idea what brand it is. Doesn't say in the instruction book, or on the box... I assume it's from China.. I didn't know what subforum to post in. I'm sorry. I just needed help with it, and don't know what subform, since I have no idea what the model is.

Thank you so much in advance.

It's decent, but has issues.

No GPS on mine.. and no software came with it.. looks like I got a knock off ..

720p is beyond my liking. WVGA is fine for my purposes

Do you know if I can upgrade my firmware safely?

if it works you'd do better to just leave it alone
