Would you say the oncoming Avanza was going too fast for the camera to read the plate and would a higher-end camera do the job?

I think even the A119 or D201 have this issue... As too fast movement...

Whats with the wavy movement? Only noticed this happening today.

Is the mount loose and the vibration from the car caused it?

I'm using the Viofo A118C, but somehow my recording is not as clear as this, the colour in the above video seems more contrast and more colour saturation, mine feels grainy.

Not sure is it different time of the day so lighting difference. Or maybe its because my dashboard is not black, its more to greyish so when reflected it cause it to look like that, or is it the recording settings?  hmm.gif

Below is recording from mine.

Looks ok to me but you do have lots of reflection from the mat and buddha... Try putting the angle higher so that can see a bit of the bonnet, more on the road will be good and maybe reduce some reflections...

@blurjoey i'm still confused if i can connect directly my car cigarette charger to the A118C supplied socket..or if i have to purchase voltage regulator 12v to 5v first to attach before connect to the a118c socket...

please advise..
*
The A118C can be powered by the car charger that came with the car cigarette socket with no problem...

@blurjoey..where can we download the latest firmware for this yea..is the firmware for this dvr same with viofo a118c?

Check if you're using this version or not? I heard the Viofo A118C can work on this also but do be careful as might brick the dashcam...
