Hi everyone,

Been reading all the comments (yes i looked thru 20 pages lol but a few each day), and decided i may want to get a G1WH although i did plan to get a G1W initially..

I think foxoffer is the place to get genuine dvrs, but may I know how long does the camera take to arrive?

In addition, I came across this site on dashcamtalk and somehow found a 15% coupon code to it too, so the price is about $48bucks ++ USD: http://www.banggood.com/Full-HD1080P-G1WH-...ducts_id=916394

Anyone heard of this site? I read they sell genuine dvrs too but...not so sure...
In the end i guess the postage time will be one of the factors to my decision which site to buy..

Would appreciate any feedback smile.gif

Cheers
*
i bought my G1WH (along with the SD Card) from foxoffer... took about 2 weeks to arrive with the SD Card pre-inserted into the unit.

dunno about banggood..

ooo awesome thanks for the reply smile.gif

so far out of 10, what would you rate the camera as?
I understand you don't use it often and want a SJ4000 lol but could I leave it in the car without being detected by the outside or get overheated by the sun?

speaking of sun...does the recording dim to dark if the sun is too bright?

P/S: it doesn't have IR night lights right? but i think it does quite well at night..
*
i love it...rate it maybe at a 7 or 8... even used it for my track days... but most of the time its in my MPV instead of my toy car...nowadays i use it daily and its pretty good...pracitcally permanently in my MPV already...for track days i remove it and use a phone in car charger...leaving the original charger in the MPV.... for ur query about the sun... i posted a video of it somewhere in this thread.. day n night time... have a look n see.

good that it doesnt have those IR lights.. those r pretty useless....

only reason i want an SJ4000 is for track days... i can have more mounting areas/points and mouting options...

and possibly stick it on my helmet for my daily ride to work.... the SJ4000 has the mounts for that as well as the battery life.

hi guys. the thread is too long and I admit I didnt read all the posts.
But if I'm trying to get a recorder that is rm300 range, which is the best buy?
my requirements are:
- wide angle
- can record even when car is OFF (example in car park the car reversed into my car)
- decent quality for insurance claims (able to see reg. numbers clearly)

thank you!
*
within ur budget... G1WH...can get with 32gb card from foxoffer.com.

-yes wide angle
-u want it to continuously record non stop even when car is off? dont think any DVRs can do that... unless u do special direct to battery wiring....coz when u off ur car.. ur ciggie lighter port is also off... and this mod will drain ur battery...there is a motion sensor... but imho thats useless....DVR batteries typically doesnt last long at all... coz they are mainly meant to be used with the charger continuously.
-yup..able to see clearly when recorded at 1080p.

thanks MadMan. In fact, I was looking at this model! Thanks for explaining that the buit-in battery doesnt last long for recording when the car is OFF. I thought the cam only "wakes up" if motion/vibration is sensed? Been trying to make sense of the poor english on the advertisements for G1WH and not sure what they mean on the "car parked" part. Anyone has this device and could kindly confirm this?

So foxoffer.com is the only place we can buy this cam?
*
u could buy from other sites.. but foxoffer is where i get mine from... the motion detection thing ive never tried... not bothered to... so dunno wat the car parked part is about.

QUOTE(RedDevils88 @ Jun 11 2014, 05:09 PM)
just received my G1WH after ordering from FoxOffer.com 2 weeks ago. now i am wondering how do u hide the wires?

u can check on youtube on how to hide the wires... i basically followed that.

oh cool seems to be quite highly rated then lol..ok i'll get this model then...yeah i tried one with IR lights, sucks and was fake anyway so managed to return it (had to have good arguments) and now waiting for refund..

did u pay with USD? i played around the currency and found RMB to be cheapest after conversion..so if i checkout via RMB does it mean my ringgit changes to RMB? lol sorry a bit noob, been a while since i used paypal to pay other currency

anyway thanks will check out your video again, i did look at it before but skipped to the night view

I check out using usd..so dunno about pkaying with conversions etc

hey sorry since u're more familiar with this cam, what do u think of this listing?
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3212512

i'm not saying anything but the orange box bugs me..(google g1w orange box and u know what i mean)

thanks again madman..lol feels weird calling that as username
*
no idea about that listing...

but if ur worried about counterfeit, buy from reliable sources...i personally trust foxoffer.com and will definitely buy from them again... delivery is about 2 weeks.

but if ur happy with whats in that listing go ahead... nicety is a pretty reliable seller afaik

hey guys i planning to get one below 300 as i read through the tered the best one would be g1wh rite? anymore suggestion  laugh.gif

yes... G1WH...can think of anything better for that budget

QUOTE(Matrix @ Jun 17 2014, 08:07 AM)
Thanks for sharing. But i noticed all these videos, specially at night, very hard to see the car number, almost impossible unless really close and slow.
hmm.gif

Any better quality cams??

did u watch it in 1080p? the raw file is fine... can view everything properly... youtubes compression for DVRs pretty much sux...even when viewed at 1080p

Anyone using the G1WH experience crash/hang? I bought it from foxoffer without the optional SD card. Got myself a new transcend class10 32gb, and i have been experiencing crash/hang quite frequently.

Found in ebay that mentioned if crash/distortion happens, its due to the memory card not good enough. And only Kingston 32gb class 10 is recommended. doh.gif

whoa....this is new....lucky I bought mine with the optional card...why didnt u buy the card together? prices r roughly the same as being sold locally

Are you guys using "Motion Detection". I realize mine crash/hang everytime i use them. After a few iterations of cutoff and restarting the video due to the motion detection. sad.gif

Btw, do you know what are the "G Sensor" for? The user guide is almost good for nothing doh.gif
*
wats motion detection for again? if theres movement itll start and record thing? if thats the one.. no i turned it off...otherwise, my videos will be full of cats climbing my cars.. hahhaahha

G sensor oso i turned it off... coz my car has pretty stiff suspension.... and i dun want it to lock the video every time i hit a small bump....besides... with 32gb... itll take a pretty long time to complete the loop recording and for the file to be overwritten.....if anything happens, just unplug the power la... kow tim

Hi. It is possible for you to continue recording even when the car is off. Refer to this link, its called car camera hardwire kit. For instance this is for 0803 model. Not sure if its compatible with G1WH but i think it might work since it uses the micro usb port from the dvr and connects directly to the car battery. Hope this helps.  biggrin.gif
*
im sure it can be done... all u need is a proper power source... but do remember that u need to convert fromm 12v to 5v...

but then again... why would u wanna drain ur car battery?

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 sad.gif

QUOTE(azxel @ Oct 9 2014, 08:24 PM)
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)
*
QUOTE(dwijadas @ Oct 16 2014, 05:09 PM)
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 smile.gif
*
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

QUOTE(brewoe_1988 @ Oct 17 2014, 10:56 AM)
guys how you convert price in foxOffer? $52.99 is equal to how much in Msia..

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
