arrived already?
here is another G1WH Video (with the lens protective film still on hahahaha tongue.gif)... it was a very bright day... with the sun burning us...but there were times when the clouds helped abit.

need to figure out how to get rid of the reflection of the dashboard's air vent though
this was a real TNS MCH <<i'm a naughty boy who just used a naughty word>> MCB KNN WTF? FU etc etc moment for me... doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif



needless to say i went home with a tow truck

Don't quite get what happened in the video there... Mind explaining?

i went to a PC show few months back...and there are 2-3 booths selling DashCam....
There was one booth showing very crisp video images and claiming that their Dashcam is the best in term of image quality.
TRUE, i have no doubt the video shown on the LCD big screen tv was crisp and clear...even at night time you can see details like license plate and so on. But I got real uneasy feelings....asking myself why all the video clips shown were all captured somewhere overseas....?? And not locals..

How hard is it to go out for a drive and take the local scenes?

So, I just took the Dashcam name and went back home....do some Youtube search!

As expected, the same Dashcam, when submitted by real user(on the internet)....didnot produce the same picture quality similar to what I saw at the fair....

So, friends! Just be careful.....there's a lot of lie in this Dashcam business! Never trust the video submitted by the seller or the vendor.

Other than the video quality, another disturbing fact is the file size. I witness a Dashcam that can compressed a file for 70mb for a 2 minutes clip....and another Dashcam doing the same amount of work,  but with a whooping huge file of 300MB ...
It is like 400% less efficient....in storing your videos.

That's why do research first before buying tongue.gif laugh.gif

Customs commissioner what?

just give Pos Malaysia a call. If you call them they can tell you exactly where it is and what is going on.

Guys... Just a quick question on FoxOffer.com

What is the selection to choose for State ???

The drop down has too many and when I chose "blank" it could not proceed.

City I had selected Puchong.. and now I can't login to FoxOffer.com for the screenshot..

Hope to buy it using AMEX with 5% before this weekend pasts else I will need to wait for the next weekend.

Thanks

If you want a dashcam that doesn't draw attention, get a Mobius. Very good image quality and super small. Downside, no screen sweat.gif

Lol security tint even easier to pecah if parked by the roadside. Just pry from the side of the window, the window will fall flat on the ground in 1 piece, minimise the thief's risk as well as the window does not shatter to pieces

Just remember, when you buy one with gps from overseas, 90% chances your item will be held by custom and need to apply sirim.

i call this bollocks.

I've bought 2 DVR with GPS before, no issues, both different model.

looks like the G1W.... if it really is the G1W rebranded/renamed.. then id say its a very good buy

my G1WH also has the same look/dimensions... hides behind my avanza mirror pretty decently.
mine no GPS... but i do agree with bollocks... very unlikely to happen
oh... n for those who are interested... my May 18th track day video taken with G1WH can be viewed HERE ... managed to catch some interesting moments like a spinning RX7... a massively understeering Preve.. my own understeer to the point the car was shaking (and i lost a mudguard liner about 3 corners after that)

mind to point out at what time does said events happen? Video very panjang laugh.gif

QUOTE(davidlow7 @ May 28 2014, 01:49 AM)
Anyone using this ? Novatek96650 C6000H Full HD 1080P Car Camera DVR

Care to review?

Considering this vs G1WH....

Specs and chipsets are all same except the C6000H has a wider angle lens which I think is quite an advantage

But real life quality is what I need to find out before putting my money in.
*
well not much reviews online but looking at the specs seems decent. Up to you to decide.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ May 28 2014, 02:22 PM)
ah not completely stock also hehe, still damn good timing nonetheless.

ESC was off too laugh.gif

I thought ESC activates eventhough it is turned off after a certain speed?

o_O? i didn't know that.

i know mitsubishi's ASC when it's off, it's off until you restart the car, or turn it back on again, or i guess if you crash the damn car for it to even matter laugh.gif

'Even with the ESC set to off, the system will turn itself on once the speed goes past 150 km/h and when you brake, and will turn itself off once again when you you drive below said speed and off the brakes.'

Sadly, my camera suffer from lens blur due to heat. You can see even in HD the focus is slightly out, resulting in blur sad.gif

Trying to decide if should get Mini 0803 or GT680W... Can anyone advice?

[/quote

Well the Mini is quite new in the market but from what I can see, the specs and video quality seems good.

http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2014/6/15/min...h-a-screen.html
http://dashboardcamerareviews.com/mini-0803/

So far everybody giving it positive reviews.

Oh and by the way, i bought a G1WC with 32gb card from Foxoffer for my mom. Chose the capacitor model as I realised dashcams with built in batteries are utter crap in our crazy hot climate. My own personal G9000 dashcam with built-in battery now sometimes have problem like turning itself off while driving(fixable by removing and inserting the power again), auto-shutdown upon car power off sometimes is not complete(battery capacity degrade) and the battery life fell from 5-10 minutes, to 10-15 seconds from a full charge rclxub.gif

Now I wonder is it possible to convert my battery to supercaps hmm.gif
