can share what dash cam you are using?
plan to get a budget.

can the dash cam withstand the heat if mounted to the windscreen 24hrs

Afraid Cermin Pecah when parking


Anyway, this is what I found out.

Go Full HD, or else cannot see number plates when moving. So no point.
Acceptable ones will cost RM200 plus
Best is to buy Capacitor type instead of battery cos heat will kill battery fast
Wiring is also important or else you can also use slim Powerbank
Take note on the Connectors, some are not standard type.
Some ppl buy Dashcam that looks like the rearview mirror to make it look stealth.
Get a higher speed card as you will be capturing FullHD videos.

And lastly...There are a lot of IMITATION models out there!! so before you buy, PM the seller to make sure its Original

bro, you know where to buy the bracket holder? mine spoilt

Nowadays they cermin pecah even for Pisang Goreng and Syillings inside the car.

All they need is a small AA battery to do it, seems like the metal battery caps is easy to break glass.

You so free everyday upload your car travel to jewtube??

im using rm200+ one
dunno what brand
still ok after under hot sun many years now
but night recording, car plate cannot read already
just like above said, pls avoid battery as over years it no last longer, afraid xplode due to sun heat

planning to replace soon with smaller and capacitor type

how to know it is capacitor type?

this one gooding or not?

lai sellimg my fake SJ4000 for RM100.
wanna change Xiaoyi.

use rm100 digi phone

you knows pretty well, can share which reputable brand around RM 200 plus and a good installer?

Do some homework first and check the reviews.
Some model looks identical but has either capacitor or battery model

how much is xiaoyi and what good about it? is it capacitor ?

azbro
Yeah, recommend some shops wei....lots of car accessories shops...all looks like Ah Beng, Rempit and conmen. Don't even dare enter....

What your recommend ?

normal camcorder record , like u drive 1 hour, it direct record 1 hours?

or 10 min 1 file and another 15 min 1 file?

go ebay search for estore009 (trusted seller)

they will break into pieces. 10 mins 1 file or 15 mins 1 file. up to you

I want installer...selling me a gadget no good if i need to mess with my car to install.....

my cable all visible how ah? and right, i wanted to make my dash cam on 24/7 do you think is possible?

its good.
and i have no idea what is capacitor.
Even GoPro use battery no?

I saw distributor selling Polariod dashcam with free installation. Cheapest one around Rm300++ FUll HD

just go to your trusted workshop and ask them to install for you..where you living at?

go to any workshop that you trust and ask them hide it

24/7 is not possible. as the things run on battery

installation senang only.. if u plan use cigarrate port..

then mine is normal, i thought mine abnormal.. cause after 10 to 15 min, change to another file..

youtube to find how to hide the cable... easy like abc

I dun have trusted workshop...i only go back SC to do service and they don't do this kinda things. PJ/Damansara Utama/Kota Damansara area.

The difference between dashcam and a selfie camera (Xiao Yi, GoPro) is that...dashcam got autoloop feature. It will auto delete old files when the space is full. In my opinion, selfie camera as dashcam is stupid as you need to monitor your SD storage space all the time.

Correct me if i am wrong.

UGPM

read the earlier post.answer was there.

not bad.


I think we have to consider these as well..
1) Do u want to attract people to break your window when u parked?
2) Do you always want to remove the camera every time you reach a destination?
3) Does the dashcam have any software where you could just trace back the event rather than finding the event in timeline?

I wish car makers add buildin dashcam as standard equipment. for both front and rear

Sorry, I dun even have a dashcam, was doing some 'research' about it.

I would only recommend 1 dashcam type....

Mobius Action Camera - Yes the Legendary Mobius, small form factor (like a box of matches), wide angle lens (for the dashcam version) and you can mount it in the dash, bicycle, bike, Drones where ever. If you fancy Modding it, the mod parts are also available at ebay.

Other than that, I just go for a Rear View mirror Full HD type for stealth purpose

capacitor type dashcam , draw power from siggy lighter or direct car power?
another question, for thoes who draw power from siggey lighter, how you going to charge your hp?
my siggylighter is near my handbreaks.
i doubt they have any cable that long from handbreak area to rearview mirror area

using using g1wh here. so far only on very hot day the clamp will fall off, due to moist in the suction cup. did not use capacitor version of the camera as i rarely drive.

my sister using another brand (forgot the name) which have encrypted sd card. even if stolen thief can't view the video

SJCAM SJ4000 ..
but i will take it out when i get down from car (if i will leave my car long la) ..

yes, its pretty tough if you need to keep attending to the storage space everytime. i would prefer the gadget that just operates without human interference until when something important or case driven.

1) I nvr removed mine after I put it on..haha cause it is full black in color and it is placed right behind the rear view mirror...so kinda hard to see

2) As per 1

3) If not mistaken, most of the dashcam got something call G-sensor or something like that, it will automatically lock the file if the car experienced some sort of sudden stop...normally you can just look for those files.

1- what to do
2 - remove it and put inside drawer, if park in highclass place, let it at there
3- got time record, example file created when and what time..

10 to 15 min 1 file

because i stayed at those low cost flat, have to part my car by the roadside, thou wanted to do it so.

i think stealth is important these days, thugs and road bullies already knew about this gadget. one day, they will destroy all evidence just like burglars and robbers.

3 cars all with dashcam
0 cermin pecah

Anyways the dashcam can take the heat. The suction cup on the other hand....

draw from siggy lighter is just the same as direct car power...where do you think the power come from? hahahaha

charge HP, use power bank la...or go buy those siggy lighter splitter...DAISO got I think.

the cable provided when you buy the dashcam is definitely going to be long enough. don't worry

Gopro have the loop function.

i have forgotten a few times removing my GPS from the holder, human errors will kick in.

i saw this A-Mego G2Pro not bad but it looks like for Thailand market. Cant find it anywhere else

G1WH...video I dun have it now...tonight only I can provide

got...me bought from auto garage...less than 200....quite decent la quality...so far so good la....but u kenot use CLASS 10 sd card...dunno why as it not support...just use CLASS 6 /8 is good enough

Save up more , get a garmin / papago

this one?
http://www.gearbest.com/car-gadgets/pp_68511.html

but it hook onto the rearview mirror tiang instead of the windscreen. Much better imo.

This post has been edited by spacelion: Oct 13 2015, 09:42 AM

I bought 1 of these but my rear view mirror cannot fit

Senang la bang.....just need a bit of thought to route.

Cable usually long enough. Use a splitter tastefully stuck somewhere.

how long u been using?
ok ar?

looks like these 2 below

http://www.lazada.com.my/acediscoball-1080...er-3918246.html

http://www.lazada.com.my/1080p-car-camera-...x3-3979256.html

SJ4000 got loop recording 3/5/10 minutes per part and car function. Auto on/off record.

Cheap and good quality.

looking at the Eagle-i highend model
how come the video doesn't look sharp?
or is this vid quality acceptable?

http://eagleicvr.com/our-product/eg-6018-2/

how much?

3 weeks ad.. so far so good...
i also found similiar in 11street

http://www.11street.my/productdetail/maxge...vr-video-903731

but i ship it from china

you mind to share the vid?

Less than 200 now iinm, but beware of fake product.

If less than 200 then sounds like a good deal

u click the taobao link, inside got sample it is same.

a bit lazy to upload.. outside now

SJ4000 is the bestest and cheapest dash cam. No need to buy 1k++ just for the sake of daily use.

how to identify whether it is ori or fake?

http://www.foxoffer.com/blog/2014/07/05/th...nd-fake-sj4000/

I bought fake one lel, noticed it after few month..But no problem so far. Only battery kong.

but quality same same la? hahaha

Ever heard the chinese saying "Flower seller praises his own flower smells nice"?

Don't know because I don't have ori sj4000, video quality still acceptable for me.

I was involve in accident but I am sure I not guilty. But because no proof I cannot defend meself. So purchase dashcam. So far have yet to encounter accident.

The fake SJ4000 battery not lasting?

plan to get one also

How about rear view cam? Some video from Taiwan even have multiple lens shooting your blindspot/sides, in case and obviously useful here in Msia, robber hit from side.

Lenovo dashcam here

i am using Blaupunkt

small and cheap, looks rather stealthy..

Using Transcend Drivepro 200, capacitor & wifi.

Image/video quality good compare with my previous novatek cam, only the size a bit bulky.

Bought from 11street using coupon for only $336.(seller allit)

View video via wifi to ipad/phone very good but when u download to save, it could take 20-30minute for 3 minute video 3xx mb.

using papago p1pro full HD cam here, so far so good, capacitor type as well. well built and sturdy.

previously used some china brand before when it died on its own, so rather pay a little extra and get peace of mind

sample videos on youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=papago+p1+pro

Day video quality no do good. But night look pretty good.

Here some sample, fake sj4k. But degraded abit la, cut, resize and lowering bitrate.

ori or fake one?

if fake like this..ok lor...

Using Papago P3

Fake, battery rosak after 6months+

duh..btw, how to know fake or ori?

http://www.foxoffer.com/blog/2014/07/05/th...nd-fake-sj4000/

Mine exactly same like this fake faker.

Except you are wiring a 10k powerbank to it and manually swapping it everyday you entering car, it isnt quite possible to run 24/7.

still dont know how to differentiate capacitor or battery.

can advice how to know ?

i see in lazada and 11street all also got battery

This post has been edited by Remy101: Oct 13 2015, 02:45 PM

capacitor if not mistaken is actually some kind of material that makes your device's damage exposed to long hour sunlight lower...not sure if it is true

I need one too, any reocmmend one under rm200?
