although it looks like it's a rip-off of the DOD LS430W, but this is probably the best rip-off.

ooo...i thought can get locally... thought wanna buy 1 n test it out... if cun..buy 1 for the other car.

dood ur post is pretty much a waste of space... this isnt a thread asking where to buy...its asking for recommendations on which one to buy...

ebay everyone oso knows la... hell...mudah.my oso can get... even LYN garage sales oso got sell...

just googling alone will get u alot of answers.

yeah i'm trying to find it locally. too bad most of them sells those cheap ones, from RM69 also got.
that day I checked one out, no idea what brand, RM200 front + back. but quality not as good as this. this

I think this is a copy of this product:

DOD LS430W. It has lots of great functions but look at the darn price.
*
epic price requires epic staying away... aggaga

but with the G1W, considering u can get something for approx RM300 INCLUDING a 32GB MicroSD card (purchased separately) with that kinda quality... i have to say its pretty bang for buck. but id still wanna find one locally....

Now got new model already, GW1H.

http://www.foxoffer.com/g1wh-car-dvr-full-...ml#.UspApfQW18E
http://www.foxoffer.com/blog/2013/12/30/ne...a-arrived-g1wh/

And also the first China DVR running on supercapacitor, just like Papago's DVR.

http://www.foxoffer.com/g1w-full-hd-1080p-...ml#.UspAqvQW18E

You guys should get your cameras from Foxoffer, Dealextreme or reputable eBay sellers, heard a few horor stories from Ali. Foxoffer and DX will be your best bet and their prices are pretty cheap, shipping's free and also the DVR's ship from Singapore!
*
interesting... any reviews? dont have time to google for GW1H reviews yet

and any idea how long it takes for shipping? would be awesome if its only 1 week... kinda need it before the 8/2

And now we have the G1WH. Hehe.

Beware of buying from eBay though as there are many fakes, unless you're 100% sure it's the original one.
*
fuggit... just ordered G1WH from foxoffer and included the 32gb card one shot so i no need susah2 go find the stuff since the card only converts to RM75.... total came up to RM282.37 for camera + 32gb card....luckily can pay using paypal heh.

hopefully it arrives soon... wanna test it out before bringing it to SIC for track day on the 8th of Feb

and i hope its flexible enough so i can mount it on the rear passenger side window to get this kinda angle



just so that i can see how sucky or menggelabah i am in the car... heheheheheh



anyway.... now id like to ask for recommendations on a dual camera (front and rear) DVR... getting an MPV soon which my wife n son will be in most of the time, so i wanna make sure all is good.... something around the RM300 range inclusive of memory card would be awesome....any ideas? something that maybe has a screen up front so that can use as a reverse camera oso

LOL you finally decided to buy. I chose the GT680W because of the GPS. laugh.gif

I'd recommend you get another card to load on during the actual track run though. At least you don't risk your files getting overwritten on your way home or when you forget to unload the videos laugh.gif

But then again, 32gb should be good for around 8 hours of videos...

And currently in the market there aren't much decent dual channel DVR's though. The good ones are all bloody expensive made in Korea stuff with touchscreen and all. Price can rival the GoPro Hero 3 Black edition sweat.gif

I'd just go with sticking another G1W to the rear laugh.gif
*
hahahahahaha...yeha.... been wanting one of these since my last track day 2.5 years ago... might as well just bite the bullet since bonus just came out hahahhahahaha

actually im planning on unplugging it as soon as track day is over just to make sure heheheh

that is of course, provided the camera arrives BEFORE 8th of feb la.. otherwise itll be an epic facepalm moment doh.gif

Just leave it plugged in la. Mana tau will manage to record some dude crashing on the way back from SIC lol.

High chance it would arrive before feb. Most of the time it will arrive within 2 weeks though my longest wait was 4 weeks, but that was from eBay chipment from China.

Else you could borrow someone's Gopro. I'm sure you have friends who owns one rolleyes.gif
*
good point ahahahhaa

go pro... dun wan la.. dun like borrowing stuff... worse comes to worse, can always use my mobile phone to record...

now just wondering if racechrono can work in the background while recording or not.. if can then cun thumbup.gif

Quick review of my dashcam:

Already destroyed 1 microSD card when using the built-in format function. Just now went out for lunch, it kept saying Memory error and I had to remove the SD card and plug it into my PC to make sure it's okay. It turns out to be almost full and I had to manually format it.

So Nightstalker1993, might be considering your G1WH. Anyway G1W is already a fake copycat of LS300W.

i find that rattling sound super annoying..... anyway to get rid of it? if its just the mounts then should be easy.. but if its the camera's internals... abit the susah.

it's the car i reckon, 14 year old car... well lol.

camera mount/internals should be fine, from other people's reviews/videos.

id still look into it... even my car handphone holder has rattling sounds when i record video and i ended up using padding a few places.... and that rattling sound in ur video sounds exactly like the rattling plastics of the mounts that i had.

hopefully it arrives thia week though I have my doubts especially with the 2 public holidays...

as long as it arrives before the 30th, im good...coz theres a track day on the 30th that I might be joining...decided not to join the one on the 8th bcoz based on feedbacks, ignition.my organized trackdays are like "who let the dogs out"...especially since they dont really limit the number of cars...

no one has experience powering up the dvr with the handphone in car charger before? would like to avoid buying the splitter thing as it adds clutter to the car n I dont really have a good place to mount it.

as for the quality thing, I bought it mainly to record my drives...n yes I need good quality as I wanna see everything clearly....its like watching a movie at home...takkan wanna watch cinema quality? like that means better watch movies on small 14" crt tvs instead of big flat panel tvs

"14/01/2014 13:01: Departed from Destination Transit Centre" arrives tomorrow perhaps? hehehehhee

anyway... i think ill just buy THIS SPLITTER.. at least itll be stuck on the power socket itself and i wont have some extra thing some place else...

only problem is... my ciggie lighter socket is somewhat recessed in the dashboard... not sure if the bulkiness of the 2 sockets will cause problems plugging it in.

G1WH Test Videos.. 4 minutes of day shots with a few different lighting conditions and 22 minutes of night shots with multiple situations and lighting conditions as well as speed...

did more of night shots mainly coz there isnt any... day shots u can find on youtube already...

night shots are pretty decent although at times i wish it was better...but definitely good enough i suppose... bulb colour of street lamps makes a diff in quality of the recording... can see it in the video.... i find white bulbs better for video quality as compared to yellow bulbs


as always... set the video at Full HD (1080p) to see it in all its glory.


i think i may need to "dampen" the microphone.. i find that it cant really take the noise from my exhaust and makes a rattling sound in the video...heck of alot worse at high revs. doh.gif but not sure if its the mic... or its the plastic case itself that cant handle the noise... hahahahhaha

I've also managed to answer my own question about using the DVR with a mobile phone in car charger. answer is yes, it works. all functions like auto record during startup works... i used USAMS 3.1Amp Quick In-Car Charger...so yes.. i can record my track session and charge my phone while using a GPS Lap Timer like Race Chrono rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

if you met an accident...
you can just push the SOS button so the video will be save in your memory card automaticly
without the possibility of video looping record on top of the SOS video
*
eerrr.... isnt that what the g sensor is for? and dont even have to press a button

but ive turned mine off due to my car's stiff adjustable suspension as I dont want it to save each n every one of the videos everytime I hit a bump or rough patch on the road
