I believe is the mount. No matter what I do it's still shaky. Sigh.....the night video also a bit grainy too
By the way the firmware that came with my unit is 2318W do you think I should download a newer version?

Latest is v2771

Sorry for the late reply. Red led if not mistaken is when the battery if fully charged.

Have you flashed v2771 (this for dab205 and d201 can use) or v2534? If want higher bitrate, someone have made custom firmware with high bitrate. High bitrates means more video quality. You can give it a try and see.

Flashed v2534_v4 bitrate version. I don't see image quality differences between the FWs but big increased in bitrate. Anyway, I had a SanDisk Ultra (yes Ultra) in the unit and to my surprise it was recording fine without Low-Speed-Card message even with the higher bitrate.

These are the info with v2318

If not mistaken, before v2382 the video quality was soso... After that all the new versions looks the same... I used the high bitrate firmware for awhile then I reverted back to the original... LOL!

Higher bitrate does have better video quality... Experienced it before with other dashcams before and after new firmware updates which fixes the video quality and ups the bitrates.

Yeah it should be but for Dome D201 it doesn't seems like there is improvement at least naked eyes don't see the improvement.
Side topic here
I also happen to have a Blaupunkt BP3.0 dashcam and the video/image quality is not good. Do you happen to know how can I improve the quality or where can I obtain latest FW to improve it?

Blaupunkt website is worse than Shenzhen Dome website. They don't have contact at all and don't even have page about the dashcam too. They have contact for other products but not dashcam. I contacted them they said they are not from Blaupunkt but an out source for Blaupunkt and they have no idea how to contact Blaupunkt regarding dashcam. I even wrote to Blaupunkt's CEO but still no respond after more than a month.
