That's interesting. 10 pin is needed. That's quite a lot of pins compare to standard 5.

The beeps on A129 is rather loud. As for the Wi-Fi app, I hope they let us change the settings without the need of stop recording. Hence the loud beeping to annoyingly reminds you that it's not recording.

*beep beep* *beep beep* *beep beep* *beep beep*

sh.......now it's stuck in my head....

It's designed that way. Even Korean dashcam stops recording when you enter settings.

The beeps are following end users feedbacks when there is a failure of not recording.

A129 it's a better choice if according to specs but loses to Thinkware's parking mode only.

A129 both cam is 1080p and using Sony Starvis sensor. F100 only front cam is 1080p and rear is 720p.

I've been wanting a reasonable dual-cam setup for some time. This looks as if it could meet most of my needs, plus the WiFi is a huge plus. So, it appears that we will need to snake a new USB cable from the front dashcam to the rear install, of course. Hope I can still hide that additional cable in the space I use behind the rear-view mirror, which would be ideal. Will also be interested to see how anyone with a hatchback installs this (mine would be in Subarua Forester and XV Crosstrek models.) TubeMate Psiphon Test DPC

I have a friend that installed in his XV. Anyway, installing on those hatchback like trunks is a challenge than installing on a sedan.
