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

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.

Well that's kinda obvious. Apple iOs is something branded and can't be copied(at least legally) as Apple develops their own software and hardware while brands like DOD just finds the companies that makes these cameras and ask them to print their brand name on and sell it as their own. This is a very common practise where one factory can produce the same or similar products and be rebranded under different names. I'm sure you've heard brand like Sonic Gear who makes speakers, they actualyl source their products from an OEM company in China which is why you see other speaker brands who sells speakers with similar or the same design with the same quality and components as they are from the same factory afterall.

Brands like Papago or some Korean brands like Urive who actually develops their own software and hardware on the other hand, does not have an unbranded version of their product.

The GT680W is really an awesome performer in low light. Here's some comparison shots with my GS9000. The GS9000 looks like shit next to the GT680w shots. Notice in the last photo the GT680w managed to capture the Satria's plate number while the GS9000 failed miserably

Lol the lens flares are most likely due to the super old windscreen than the lens.

About the brightness, it's not digitally enhanced in-camera else we'd be seeing tons of noise, but the camera itself have pretty amazing low-light capabilities with it's F1.6 lens and the sensor+processor combination.

Only complain about the GT680W is that the mic seems to be pretty shitty.

- it's 14 year old iswara that is speeding over 100km/h (last vid is having around 176 km/h based on gps
- the mount is a simple 'click' secure mount, no mechanism/place for you to put paddings
- instead of windscreen suction, the mount is HARD GLUED to the windscreen using 3M tape (it's going to ruin the glued part when i remove and transfer it to my new car later sad.gif )
- the DVR mic is known to be, well subpar considering the insane premium price i paid for it. and yes, wind noise (you know how old car feel/sounds at higher speed right? tongue.gif

=edit=
i'll update if the issue still persist on the new car XD
