I don't think Reddit dashcam section has near the audience Dascamtalk has, not close at all. And I hope future buyers will take the time to do their research before they buy. There are good chances some of them will get here, then hopefully they invest sometime reading this tread as well as kamkar1 tread.
Unfortunately, I am seeing the T3's turn up on Ebay and other outlets. Which makes me think either Zenfox is moving forward with selling these units or people who have received cameras are offloading them onto the world. Either way, this doesn't bode well for his company. As these units become mainstream, assuming Zenfox ignores our advice and goes to full production, daily useres will begin to recognize the flaws. Right now, it's inexperienced testers, influencers looking for their next promotional video, and causal users more excited about the unboxing and a five minute drive than putting the T3 through its paces.
Then you have this community where you, myself, and others are putting this camera through real world testing. Colder environments, hotter environments, parking mode, regular drive arounds, etc and finding out all the shortcomings.
Clearly, @Zenfox_Official knows about the overheating issue, because the new firmware specifically "Addresses" the problem. And by Addressing, he disables the the interior camera after camera gets hot, and then the other 2 still stop recording after a while if mounted on the windshield.
I should have pointed this out, and failed to do so: My daily driver originally has the Viofo on Suction Cup and had the T3 mounted to windshield. Even on the new firmware, the T3 overheated. When taken off windshield and put onto a suction cup, the T3 fairs better with keeping the front and rear cameras alive, while the interior overheats and is disabled by the revised firmware.
Worth Mentioning If I haven't already done so: I have a 2nd car, that sits outside 24 hours a day, exposed to the elements. Hot, Cold, Sun, Rain, etc. The Viofo A129 Duo is mounted to the Windshield using 3M adhesive and
has never once stopped recording or overheating in park mode or daily driving.
. He's sending these cameras all over the world. We're probably the only ones actually trying to figure out solutions. Giving additional units to test various design changes is far more beneficial than "throwing these out to yes men", who'll do nothing but say Great Camera!
