Okay, a week or two ago at a shop in Akihabara, Tokyo, my parents saw this and insisted on getting one.

It's around RM180, which is RM40 more expensive if bought here (saw one LYN member selling). Oh well.

SAMPLE VIDEO:


Full unboxing video (and probably review) coming after this.

The GT680w should have PLENTY of reviews in the net. Here's one from a reputable forumer

http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/compl...c-seezeus.3291/

I personally owning the GS9000 dashcam. Too bad I bought it before the floods of Novatek NTK96650 came about.

I was thinking of getting the G1W but haven't saw any shops selling it yet.

Mine has a crappy microphone. So I need to test another one.

Just get it online. All you can get locally here are cheapass dashcams. Actually I'm thinking of bringing in some good quality dashcams to be sold here seeing that all dashcams over here are all crap quality. Only thing worried is whether will people buy these dashcams considering the cheaper ones are priced around RM100-150 sweat.gif

My GS9000 have very, very good audio quality, not too sure about the GT680 or G1WH though but I read the Novatek's have a tendency to produce a constant frequency hiss but they say it's not really a deal-breaker, just a minor annoyance during video playback
Well, if you've seen the G1W sample videos, the G1WH just adds wider angle and slightly better video quality.

I remember my item from DX took 2 weeks to arrive from Singapore. We'll see how long the GT680 i ordered from Foxoffer will take to arrive.
*
G1W will be the best value for money dashcam. I saw someone selling G1W on ebay for just RM124. You can say it's "award-winning" laugh.gif

If you dare to take the risk, bring in stuff like Blackvue, MINI DVR 0801, Vico WF-1, etc.

Quick review of my dashcam:

Already destroyed 1 microSD card when using the built-in format function. Just now went out for lunch, it kept saying Memory error and I had to remove the SD card and plug it into my PC to make sure it's okay. It turns out to be almost full and I had to manually format it.

So Nightstalker1993, might be considering your G1WH. Anyway G1W is already a fake copycat of LS300W.

Well, alot of these company share the same body, they just change the internals and sell it as a new product under a new product name.

I might get one G1WH for my rear though. Will definitely beat any dual channel DVR's in terms of price and quality laugh.gif
*
LEL.
Not really.
ls300w is by DOD. G1W is by some small chinese companies that does most cheap car DVRs.

LS300W is completely different from G1W.

Anyway problem fixed. Had to manually format the memory card. A 16GB memory card can hold only 2 hours of 1080p videos! WTF.

Chances are they came out from the same factory. I'm pretty confident that those unbranded dashcams are released by the OEM for companies like DOD.

Here's a DOD LS300W

http://www.foxoffer.com/dod-ls300w-super-h...ml#.UsphT_QW18E

Here's an unbranded GT300w

http://www.foxoffer.com/gt300w-full-hd-108...ml#.UsphRPQW18E

See any difference other than the price? Both the specs and casings are exactly the same. And DOD cameras are all from Taiwan/China.
*
Oh well, maybe you're right. Maybe not.

Compare a real iPhone 5S and copycat iPhone 5S from China. They claimed the specs are the same. Some even claimed they have better specs than iPhone 5S. Lies, lies everywhere.

Finally got the time to make a sample video.

This is my Tourmate G100 (someone selling in LYN GS). You can see the video quality is not good, sound quality even worse.



Well, at least it was able to record what's happening, except when it overheats and hangs after long usage. One of the air vents have to be pointed at this unit to prevent it from overheating and hang and all the videos that were recorded halfway are not viewable.

I randomly checked what's in this card and was very disappointed. Most of the clip can't be played and some of the clips went crazy. Formatted the card and it worked fine today (i'm using 16GB Class 10, only 2 hours of recording). Plus, i can't format memory cards with this unit as it'll just destroy it completely and it'll cause computers to freeze when trying to read/format them (2 memory cards were destroyed. RIP)

But was impressed with the gapless recording and very clear date & time stamp. That's it.

P/S: The month of the date will always stuck on October. No idea why.

I'd recommend getting one from more reputable places like FoxOffer. They ship from Singapore
Lolz that model DVR very common and its a generic DVR. Usually these lower quality DVR will perform very poorly in terms of reliability and many of them have their videos corrupted which is why if you're searching for a DVR, better get one which is already tested and well known for reliability. My GS9000 hanged before once, read online that formatting the card may solve it due to corrupted files being in the card. One of the files got corrupted as I removed the memory card from the device while it was still recording halfway. After I formatted the card, it did not hang anymore.

yup...the quality is horrible even when set to 1080p... i could barely read the number plate of the golf and the nissan u were trailing on federal highway...

on the other hand... this video is a good example for spacelion to see why good quality is needed... coz without quality u can barely read the number plate.

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jan 23 2014, 02:03 AM)
The Tourmate one is definitely not 1080p. Looks more like 720p or 480p upscale rclxub.gif doh.gif

Your G1WH video you compare the Youtube uploaded version and the RAW files from the camera, are there much difference? Maybe posting a screenshot from the raw image would be better at judging the image quality like I had done with mine..

It's 720p upscale. That's why there's no difference between the two. It's the same. 480p is the worst.

I'm looking for another car camera and last time I mentioned G1W, but since mADmAN mentioned G1WH, and from the following video, it's not bad, I think, so where can I buy these locally? I saw someone selling the LS330W and LS430W on Garage Sales for RM500+ and RM600+. Just wondering where can I get G1WH locally. I don't mind paying a little extra as long as I can test it out before getting. Any shops in Lowyat/Digital Mall/anywhere else sells these?

hmm... I'll see first. Thanks for the offer anyway.

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jan 23 2014, 06:16 PM)
dont think u can get the G1W or G1WH locally actually...

the nearest u can get is probably the foxoffer offices in Singapore...and since free shipping, might as well just buy straight.

im quite happy i took the plunge... pretty satisfied with it so far... hopefully will be recording more videos on the 30th biggrin.gif
*
any links? I was told that the G1W does not take class 10 microSDs.

what about shops that sell other dvrs? i know some shopping malls got but they're selling expensive stuff. Harvey Norman is selling those very cheap cameras at a very high price.

Most of you guys have watched those Russian car crash compilation videos, and one of the most "Famous" scenario is where the tyre of some trucks exploded and the car that's recording the scene was/wasn't able to avoid crashing into the truck. Well, it happened to me just now, a tyre of a truck just exploded, lots of dusts and stones hit my car (a newly painted car!!!) but I was able to avoid it. What really makes me mad was after that I found out that my car DVR hang, again, as usual. Now I wasn't able to find that scene, but this is what I was able to show you:



Just to prove that you can't simply take a 150hp Camry to chase a 280hp Golf R. LOL.

YES I'M GETTING ANOTHER CAR DVR.

THINGS TO AVOID
1) A Camry with 2.0 engine and 4 speed auto
2) This car DVR brand

Honestly I'd rather buy one from FoxOffer as there's just so much DVRs out there you won't know which is good and which is not. There's even fakes of certain DVR. Example, my GS9000 which at the time was considered superb image quality, exists a fake version which looks exactly the same but utter horrible image quality. I'd suggest you just get from FoxOffer.
GPS Module! Don't forget the GPS module! tongue.gif laugh.gif

Oh, and by the way, my friend whom I've bought the DVR for, had uploaded a sample daytime video. The raw video looks much better though eventhough you view on youtube at 1080p rclxub.gif

Is the vibration... because of the bass? Not bad, 165km/h on KESAS.

So, there's not much difference between 720p and 1080p. In fact, you'll only get extra 10 minutes of clip. Others, is just the same.

Here's a screenshot that I took comparing RAW, after editing with Magix Movie Edit Pro, and uploaded and downloaded from youtube:

then go for it. it'll be a waste if it's been only used as a car DVR.

but different story if you mount on the hood or exterior of the car, and you have to be prepared to jump on people who're trying to steal the camera.
