Any thoughts on the Rexing V1P 3rd gen dual cam?

Specs are good and it's using supercapacitor!

Ya am combing youtube for all the reviews i can find.

thinking of 1 unit with rear cam disabled so it can record at 4K at the front, then one more unit at the rear recording at 1080P with the secondary camera mounted on the B pillar recording the interior (esp the dashboard and driver seat belt)
*
Stick with 1080p dual cam or 1440p front cam only.

It's not true 4K camera sensor but a 4MP sensor. It's an interpolated resolution.

Thank you very much all sifus for sharing your knowledge!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

@blurjoey I Googled the OBD port and that method seems simple and neat enough. But this is the first time I heard bout using OBD port to power the dashcam. Is there any catch with using this method / y isn't this method being used by many people?

@Winter@7 I only go to the shop to remove the hardwire when I need to claim warranty right? For normal servicing at the SC, no need right? scared they make note bout the hardwiring during servicing...  tongue.gif Do you have any recommendations on any good accesories shop which can do this within Klang Valley?

OBD has been out quite some time but not that popular not sure why. Mini dashcam has been using OBD ports for a few of their models.

But with ODB port you can run parking mode (depending on the dashcam if have parking mode or not).

Blackvue latest Power Magic EZ is using OBD port instead of hardwiring to the fuse box. Just ordered the Power Magic EZ to test from Blackvue eBay store.

No, if strict enough, you have to remove it for every single visit to the SC. So better you learn how to remove and reconnect yourself. Cuz your car might break down suddenly, electrical fault and requires towing to the SC. Going to tow first to the shop to remove then only SC? Hassle.. smile.gif  Like being said, some centers will take note of every single mod done on the car. Whether "plug n play" or not. All grounds to deny warranty claim should they desire.

Lucky mine is self install so I know where to unplug laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Nope as not all SC have own dashcam. Only Toyota, BMW got but their dashcams is crap.

I really think this is like a missed opportunity for them to provide aftermarket dashcam or to increase their sales profit etc ...

Some of us prefer peace of mind knowing with sc doing the hardwiring of dashcam the warranty is intact.. this kind of people are more willing to pay extra for installation servic.

Dashcam also universal ma.. no need to tailored for each car model etc...
*
All about the margin. They want 300% margin yet wanting supplier give them 3 years warranty for free. No dashcam manufacturers have this margin to play with. Only no brand China cheapo dashcams can do this. For example, the one from Nissan TC, selling for RM1K but the cost is around RM200. Same as the one from Proton X70.

They are all too pampered. Like tint film and coating, this kind they love it cause the cost actually very low.

Viofo A119 v2 should fit your budget. Not sure if it's suction though. BTW, I read that suction comes out easily after some time. I guess due to the rubber being under the sun. Then again, finding a replacement is not that hard for that.
*
A119 v2 doesn't have wifi. But can consider getting A129 front cam only as have wifi and can add rear cam in the future.

Also, A119 has a suction mount accessory which needs to buy separately but that will defeat the discreet design of the A119. Yes the suction mount will drop over time due to heat, etc.

actually which car cam you guys recommended with similar function to 70mai pro? i need the parking mode without tapping the cable to fuse box/battery. i mean the cam have the capability either auto wake up by vibration or motion detection (during engine off, parking mode), but with capacitor...

thank you

QUOTE(josh5671 @ Jun 13 2019, 08:46 AM)
Me not pro.. But I will say no.

Unless you tap your dash cam to external battery, then that external battery go fuse or power plug.
*
Can use fuse taps that will piggyback on the fuse. No wire cutting required. Or get those with the OBD power port.

But the only dashcams with good parking mode is Korean dashcams like Thinkware.

The new Viofo A119 V3 has new parking mode functions and it's using the 3 wires hardwire kit. I haven't test it yet as I ran out of fuse taps.

I won't even think of using a powerbank unless I get those iron phosphate powerbank which is around rm1k+. As powering 24/7 to the car battery no thank you. That's why I'm using a Thinkware F800 Pro now. And my Thinkware Q800 Pro is coming.

Planning to get a new dashcam for my car. My car will be put under the hot sun most of the time, read through the threads in the forum and found out that if buying dashcam like XiaoMi's one, it might not last long. What will you guys recommend for a car that parked under hot sun most of the time?

Saw the Thinkware F800 pro review by TS, it bugs me as it can't even capture the road plate number clearly during night time at such price (or I should rephrase it as I can't even read the road plate properly, even when the car is stopped.)
*
Look at Viofo A119 V3 or A129 Duo.

I can say the above have better image quality than my F800 Pro. But I use F800 Pro more for the other features like the ADAS and true parking mode.

Anyway, I'm upgrading to the Q800 Pro next week or the week after that laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

hi. i think my a129s duo rear cam problem. can you guys confirm or help before i send back to sicurez for troubleshoot?

this is the sample vid of my rear cam
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

*
I have checked with Sicurez and they said is the rear cam's CMOS is faulty. They said it starts with the flickering then no more image.

Please send back over to them and they'll replace with a new rear cam for you. I think they got open tomorrow.

Thanks alot bro.
Will be there next week.

Oh is CPL filter necessary? Should i get 1?

The CPL filter helps to reduce the reflections on the windscreen.

But the videos will be a bit darker and you'll see rainbow effects like wearing polarized sunglasses.
