Do I need to register with Gearbest in order to buy from that site?

Is GearBest from China?

Looking at a few G1W dash cam, but it has a few variant, G1W-CB, G1W, G1WH, which one is the best?

Gearbest, Banggood, Aliexpress is all from China...

G1W is the original
G1W-H is G1W with 140 degree and full stealth black color
G1W-C is G1W but using capacitor instead of lithium battery
G1W-CB is G1W-C but full stealth black color

Thanks @blurjoey for your valuable reply and information.

cheers

Gearbest selling G1WH for USD 36.99, is it cheap? Can send to Malaysia without a problem right?

few of us bought items from GB previously... no problem at all

Is the G1W better with battery or capacitor?

Battery takutlah because of our hot weather. Capasitor only problem is once engine off immediately dashcam shutdown and also charging port have to dedicate to powerup dashcam

No worries... Just have to wait about 3-4+ weeks for the item to arrive... Unless pay extra for expedited shipping...

Batteries don't play well in the heat...

Capacitor if no power for long time will lose the dash cam settings...

Can consider the G1W-H if want battery or the G1W-CB if capacitor...

Guys, anyone have contacts to get the A118-C dvr?

I had tried buying through FoxOffer, but the parcel got stuck at Msian customs, then rejected back to SG.
After 3 mths then only I received my refund from FoxOffer

So, any other recommended sites to buy from?

Any recommended shop in Selangor or KL to buy a good reliable traffic recorder? Thx

From gearbest? Maybe can try to pay extra for EMS and hopefully can go thru customs?

Hi,

I want to get a 2nd cam for my other car....first car has the G1WH and it works great...but sometimes it turns off itself.

I am comparing between B40/118 and Mini 0805....price is about 4USD difference and different chipset too.

One thing i like about the B40 is the 170 deg angle with Novatek chipset.
I have seen a night video for the 0805 and it wasn't that good.

Anyone here has used any of these cams? any recommendation would be good.

any1 using this?
MAXGear GT300B Novatek Full HD 1080P Car DVR Video Camera 4x Zoom HDMI

can pm me?

No one using rearview mirror dvr?

Just purchased g1wh from banggood for $41.69...waiting delivery..can wait

I also have bought from Foxoffer, and got my parcel rejected by Customs and returned to SG. I called KLIA customs to find out why, they said when Customs inspected the package, they discovered the packaged has been "opened and tampered with". I dont know what that means. Lucky for me, I bought from Foxoffer via ebay, so I was able to get my refund within 45 days via ebay resolution. Foxoffer initially wanted to wait until the returned parcel reached them before they give the refund, which would take a long time, but this is why it is good to buy from Foxoffer not through their website, but through ebay, because we can use ebay's dispute resolution as a safeguard for our purchase. I filed claimed through ebay and got refund almost immediately. Foxoffer is still a good company/seller and offers great prices, I will buy from them again, but not directly from their website, but through ebay. Their ebay ID is foxoffer1 or something.

I have the A118/B40 dash cam. While the 170 degrees angle are great, but I find the video tends to wrap/curved towards the extreme left and right of the video, like a fish-eye effect. This is very noticeable when you are facing any straight line structures like walls (parking or building wall) or fences, you can see the wall/fence lines curved a bit. This is the price you pay for having a really wide angle lens.

I also have the G1W-CB. This is only 120 degrees angle, but I find the video to be slightly better, all straight lines with no curving or fisheye effect, but the disadvantage of this model is that the camera is very visible and not discrete at all. The A118/B40 is completely hidden when installed (when placed behind the rear view mirror) and nobody would know that it is there. Both have theirs pro's and con's.
