If you hardwire your dashcam, most a car battery will last 1-2 days only (depending on the battery condition, etc) as the dashcam will use the power of your car battery.

Nowadays better go high endurance if can

Hardwire kit is to power the dashcam while in parked for parking mode.

Now is all using 3 wires hardwire kits. You can use the hardwire kit and off the parking mode.

It will be directly plug to the car fuse box underneath the steering wheel.

Tape mount actually doesn't damage it as much as the suction cup mount.

Unless you always stick and pull it off like me for reviews then it will pull the tint off the windscreen.

Yes can.

Samsung Pro Endurance, Sandisk High Endurance, etc...

Yes depending on the dashcam if it has a voltage cutoff. But I'm giving an example as he mentioned that he will park the car for 4-5 days.

Also, anything below 12v is dangerously low and might be able to start the car's engine. I usually set mine at 12v or 12.5v previously but now using an external dashcam battery pack for parking mode so I just off the voltage cutoff. The battery pack can record more than 24 hours on the external battery.

Er... I don't have an iPhone to test the DDPAI app with ler

Hardwire will switch to the car battery for power to the dashcam's parking mode. Also will power the dashcam when the engine starts.

What dashcam are you using? Only those with hardwire kit installed can set the voltage cut off as it requires monitoring the voltage of the car battery.

A800s is 4K front and 1080p rear vs Z40 1944p front and 1080p rear.

70mai using a lithium-ion battery vs DDPAI using a supercapacitor.

A800s price is higher than Z40 unless you're looking at the A500s which is about the same specs as Z40.

My bad. Yes, it is hardwired to charge when the engine is running. And it will be fully charged in an hour or so.

I'm using a single pack that can run my U1000 for about 24 hours before it runs flat. You can daisy chain a few together so it will run longer.

I'm almost done with the A229 review as over the weekend my Youtube channel got hacked by some Crypto.

Basically, the A229 is 2K front and rear.

Both are good but I prefer Samsung more than Sandisk.

Thinkware is world known for the buffered parking mode. Can look at FineVu is on budget.

Blackvue also can consider. These are Korean dashcams.

China dashcam's parking mode is either "bang then start recording" parking mode or time-lapse parking mode. Viofo also now no more buffered parking mode but motion/impact parking mode.

That's the new Evo Plus replacing the red Evo Plus.

Pro Endurance has warranty when used in dashcam and home cams while Evo Plus doesn't.

Actually, nowadays 1080p is a minimum while 2K and 4K are becoming the standard.

Maybe asked and see if they still have FineVu or not. The GX300 is good as the front is 2K and the rear is 1080p. The GX30 is the same as the F200Pro.

Thinkware is world famous for it's parking mode.

FineVu cause they don't do many ads and promotions so they are lesser known but their parking mode is almost like Thinkware.

My review unit just delivered today.



I'm using Thinkware U1000 and F800 Pro in my wife's car. The GX300 is good.

Yeah. Now is motion/impact detection.

I saw the video quality of the GX300 and it's really good. You can ask Sicurez to show you the video quality of F200Pro, GX30 and GX300.

Get any with cheap data and good coverage will fine.
