Ok i'll be frank here, ever since i bought the G1W from FoxOffer it wasn't all bells and whistles.

The latest thing that is making me frustrating is the G1W can't stand the heat from our Malaysian afternoon. In the end it crashes or just turned blue the whole screen.

Why am I so sure that our Malaysian sun is the culprit? Coz it was working fine during morning and evening during weekdays when I'm working.

Anyone with G1W experience the same issue as mine? Think i have to find another spot for it then. Currently it's behind my rear view mirror.

I have the G1WH (essentially the same thing as the G1W, but with a different housing and a wider 140 degree viewing angle). Bought my unit from estore009 on ebay.com.my.

Been using it for a few months now. Mounted behind the rear view mirror too and never remove it. My car is parked under the sun everyday from 8am - 4pm. So far still no problems with heat at all.
Even when I'm driving under the hot Malaysian sun during afternoons.

My car is tinted, although I must point out that the tint is very minimal as it is factory fitted with the car. Not sure if that makes any difference

Hi All

I bought SJ4000 from foxoffer last month, together with the in car charger and mount. However, i am facing the problem of setting up the in car charger.

The length of the in car charger is too short to follow the edge of the glove comparment, a pillar and to roof to mirror

anyone have any suggestion?

Any?

Greetings,

I ordered an item from FoxOffer this month. I got an email on the 18th saying that my item was shipped, together with a tracking ID supposedly from Singpost. However, when I click the tracking link since that day, it just says "Information received" and nothing else - none of the usual current item location info if it is really trackable... any thoughts?

guys anyone using SJ camera as a dash cam...

free/cheap shipping can take ages.
it took me weeks (almost a month iinm?) to receive mine.

consider checking singpost time to time and pos malaysia (not poslaju), i can't remember which particular category to check so just check all until it finally gets registered in Malaysian postal system.

Thanks... I ordered on the basis of the feedback in this thread but still cannot shake the feeling of being scammed

Just ordered the G1WC from foxoffer.com, looking forward to it

even boss also main dash cam

I am a coding kuli only

Wow .. how you get power source for 3 cam ?

Eh.. I bought 1 cam but 3 clips so I can bring and plug in the camera into different cars.
HEh... Bought but yet to have it installed.
I read that Power source recommended to tap from the stereo for hidden wiring or just use the ciggie lighter / power outlet (12v)

I asked Perodua if I can tap the overhead light .. they wont do it. I dont like wires from ciggie lighter hanging around. some more got kid .. she will have fun with the hanging wire !

anyway .. Cam is there only when I am excited or traveling outstation I connect using lighter port.

Any idea who might be willing to do such wiring or smart job

guys how you convert price in foxOffer? $52.99 is equal to how much in Msia..

Quazacolt got a picture of the suction cup u use for ur SJ4000? ive got me the 90mm suction cup but i think the arm is a lil too long combined with the ballhead. got a friend who has it too and he says it vibrates...n ive seen the video...vibrates

when u buy a dashcam... itll come with a LONG ciggie lighter socket cable thing... that long cable is meant to be hidden in ur trims...




also...tapping the wires directly will give u 12v yes... but yer dashcam only uses 5v....ull probably endup burning ur dashcam if u dont convert it to 5v....thats what the ciggie lighter socket is for.. in the plug, theres bits n pieces which converts it to 5v....dont believe me? try powering up ur dashcam using ur handphone wall charger.....which only outputs 5v... also ur handphone in car charger.. again 5v. or even using ur PC/Laptop's USB port... again... 5v

i sometimes transfer my G1WH from my family car to my toy car.. the long cable is routed and hidden in the family car... meaning not convenient to take out....so when its in my toy car.. i just use the in car handphone charger...cables dangling yes, but its only for a few hours so no biggie

wow... could have just googled for currency converter

xe.com
for usd generally between 3.1-3.3 per rm

eh you did not get the SJ4000 car mount for usd10 or something extra?

a LOT of people have been praising on the camera stability despite i still see vibrations etc (our Malaysian rally grade roads so lol)
and if compared against my sony Xperia z1 recording (and the original sony mount), the SJ4000 is definitely superior.

i'm also using a very long arm so that it can reach inwards enough to see my meter cluster better.
i'll go snap a pic when i'm back at my car late evening or something after i'm done with work.

nope... i didnt get mine from foxoffer...and im not too confident to stick that one outside the car... which is why i got the 9cm cup...supposed to be real strong for outside the car... but the arm is too long
