my G1WH staring to buat hal already... its acting weird... turning on and off continuously til the internal battery dies...

during driving the screen stays on and freezes.. dunno if it actually records or not... havent checked that yet

anyone tried this before? price is good http://www.sicurez.com.my/product-818111.html

go to foxoffer.com and search for G1W / G1WH / G1WC

for that price u can get the same camera (with diff branding) AND a 32gb class10 microsd card

arrives in about 2 weeks

Have u bought ur dashcam? Any recommendation? My budget also max rm300

It's now sitting in the drawer doing nothing.

So i'm still not sure whether it's worth to get another one.

Can't seem to find one that works perfectly despite our weather.

overheat kot?

im still wondering if i should buy this http://www.sicurez.com.my/product-818111.html
because according to them, they adjusted the cam to suite our malaysia whether. what do u think?

scared the battery might over heat in future

Possible... But its mostly parked under a porch.. Still havent tested to see if it actually records or just totally freezes

Hi all, I recommend capacitor model DVR and I am selling it.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3202199
PM me if interested. Thanks.

Try to update the firmware and see if it will fix it .

Any link on where n how i can do it?

G1W-C internal capacitor koyak just after a few days of not using. Konon capacitor better, longer lifespan than regular batteries, but since there are days that I leave my car unattended for a few days (as little as 3 days), all the settings reset

My older dashcam that I mount to my rear of the car doesnt have such an issue.

Should have gotten the G1W-H instead.

Most probably is the power cable problem not the DVR if the DVR keep on restarting.
Sometime is adapter longgar. Try unplug and wait a while then plug again.

Capacitor last longer than battery in term of lifespan is charge cycle not power capacity or day storing the setting.
If it is not daily drive car can consider battery instead of capacitor.

i'm finally planning to get one for myself... planning to get what the others have mentioned... G1W.

say on GearBest. Going for slightly less than usd60 (inclusive shipping). i know GB agents are on some other forums, so might be able to get some discount code from them...

so just sharing another option, in case anyone is keen: http://www.gearbest.com/car-dvr/pp_67201.html

i've submitted a price match thingy with GB. let's see if they can match or offer even better.

if this thing works well even under our hot sun then i'll get it.

a comment by a youtube reviewer on 'cheap' car video recorders is that don't expect these to be able to last long under hot sun. anyway, i guess if it can be easily detached, maybe good idea to just take and keep it somewhere safer? after all, i think we all do that with smartphones, gps and smart tags too... dun just leave it plastered on windscreen.

I usually do that. But other drivers don't. So idk.
