G1WH cannot add on GPS module right?

I was wondering, what is the important of having GPS module? Anyone can enlighten me?  biggrin.gif

cannot...

importance of having as per below....

but whether or not its important to u, is a diff story...not really important for me actually.

you do require "blackbox" to have location recording so you know where you had an incident.

that, and it can record your speed. (though, it may go against your case depending if you were speeding or not  rolleyes.gif  )

Guys.. What resolution have you set in your dashcam? I noticed if I put 720p in recording then I will have difficulty in playing the video on pc.. The video
Will like a bit lagging..
I wish to set it as 1080p HD but considering my pc can't play it well, what should I do?
*
i think most of us here put it at max reso.

What player did you all use to play the video when plugged in pc? Windows media player is lagging with 720p lol..

I'm aware that 1080p fhd and 720p is not much diff in terms of memory usage ..
*
VLC Media player for me....sometimes BS Player

try downloading VLC and see... test it with ur 1080p and 720p videos

Found that the size is a little too big... the size in G1WH is just nice imo...

Also the budget around G1WH price will be ideal for me..
Any other model anyone here can suggest?
*
G1W then..same body...cheaper... 120deg viewing angle....

class 4 or 6 sd card to be used...techmoan had issues with class 10 card in his g1w review

oh my bulu ketiak.... i just finished going through techmoan's review of the SJ4000 ACTION CAMERA....i waaaaaaaaaaaaannn....for my usage id have to say this package is perfect! since i wanna use for track days and was also thinking of using it for riding as well....plus can be used as DVR too!

and at RM457 including 1 extra battery, 32gb card and car mount (which is separately purchase, but included in the total price i mentioned)...id have to say its damn bang for buck especially since it comes with all the mounts

haih... need to find me marneeeee




QUOTE(cannavaro @ Feb 24 2014, 04:25 AM)
I am thinking of using a powerbank to power up my GT680W.. I really don't like the hanging cable from the camera to the cigarette plug, not forgetting the cable for the GPS module.  sweat.gif
Is anyone doing this? I wonder if it is safe for the camera? Scared the voltage is different or something and will spoil the camera in the long run.
*
ive personally never used my G1WH with the supplied charger.... ive always used it with the handphone in car charger and it works well... but then i havent had much footage on the G1WH since i lazy wanna pasang eheheh...so i cant really say in terms of long run.

ur GT680W charger doesnt have long cables ah? iinm most DVR chargers has long cables which are meant to be routed within the car trim to the ciggie lighter socket... just takes a bit of time n a lil bit of effort by chucking it within to do it.


mind taking a pic of how u set it up? wanna see how far the GPS module u setup... should be able to hide the wires too...

the cable is indeed long, but I'm horrible at cable management plus I don't like the idea of sticking the cable on my dashboard.
as for the gps module, previously I sorta mount it at the rearview mirror, but sometimes it would take too long to get a signal so I moved it to the windscreen driver side (like roadtax but on the right). will upload some photos later on  biggrin.gif

oh another thing.. do you guys use the dashcam daily? or for most of your drives?
if yes, do you keep all the videos?
earlier on I use it for every single drive but now I only use it when I feel like it  laugh.gif
because I always take out the micro sd card after each trip and unplug everything so it became somewhat a hassle to set them up again for the next drive.. and I find myself 'hoarding' the videos even when there's nothing interesting going on... sometimes it's just a case of "oh the sky is so blue in this video.. I will keep this" LOL
*
I dont think ur supposed to stick the cable on ur dash...ur supposed to hide it...should be routed to ur glove box area...one of techmoans videos did show how he routed the cable but I forgot which one....might be the one for the very small dvr

ive only used it a few times...planning on installing it permanently on my family ride and only removing it for track days or group convoys.

just havent bought the dual ciggie lighter port n also abit the malas tongue.gif

so far the one that fits my requirement is Papago P1Pro (RM4xx) unsure.gif

GT680W has an optional GPS module. its one of the more popular DVRs in this thread.

u can check the prices etc at foxoffer.com...iinm should be cheaper than the P1Pro

Any recommendation for DVR with built in GPS? Not that big please. Thanks.

Anyone has the Mini 0801 Amberella chipset? Looking at the review, it seems quite a good DVR and foxoffer has it for US$85 for one with GPS & 8GB internal.

seriously.... buy one... and let us know ur thoughts... and post up the sameple videos oso biggrin.gif

Recently there are some bugger scratch my gf car.
I'm thinking is there any such camera exist to help tat ? 

Any such technology when something near your car , the camera start to record detected by motion ? I'm thinking also how the camera can capture all angle. Got such thing ?
*
actually alot of DVRs has motion detection recording... but they will detect ALL motion... and plus ur camera only pointing in 1 direction i.e. front... so kinda pointless if the motion is at the side or at the back.


actually a cheaper, and free solution.... is to advise ur gf to stop driving like a prick... park properly and not to piss people off....this is if the scratch was intentional i.e someone key her car.


but if its unintentional i.e. accidentally scratch the car while reversing out of parking etc.... camera not really gonna do any good...

Hey guys smile.gif

do you guys actually keep your DVRs or do you just leave it hanging on your windscreen everytime you get off from your car? I want to get a SJ4000 but worry people might think its a GoPro and go smash my windscreen to steal it. But if take it on and off very troublesome. What do you guys do? thank you smile.gif
*
I leave my dvr in the car....but only twice so far ive parked outside...

but if my dvr is an sj4000, id remove it

QUOTE(laowai @ Apr 11 2014, 10:04 AM)
Are these multi adapters safe to use eg. spoil the cigarette lighter port or reduce the voltage etc.? Cos if same as usb, i notice multi usb does not work well.

Maybe brands make difference?

I see many selling even in supermarkets.

Any experience to share?
*
ive only installed mine a couple of days...works qell enough to power up the dvr n charge my phone at the same time...but ive seen many cars especially cabs n tow trucks uae them

should be alright
