the rear cam is 1080p. what were you expecting? for a rear cam its plenty good enough. Even for night time.

as for the front video, yes it is not widescreen and boxy. because the original resolution is higher.

if you crop it to 1920x1080 you wont lose out on any details. In terms of viewing the video directly it may seem like the video is not capturing as much as widescreen. But you are actually capturing way more details than traditional 1920x1080 videos.

my settings i just use the highest resolution video. btw turn off wifi function (i find that this greatly reduces the heat, otherwise it gets hot until can fry egg on it). Only turn on wifi function if needed, e.g. update software or sync with phone app.

if you dont mind, upload to youtube or some other video hosting site the original video then only i can judge whether your dashcam video is normal or got anything wrong.

btw, you view the video on PC after taking out microSD card or directly from dashcam/phone?

bruh. no wonder la.

directly from phone + wireless transfer the video not as good quality. it gets compressed.

you try judge again your dashcam videos once you able to view it on PC directly from the microSD card itself. Should be better

oh yes, then pls do so.

i find it greatly reduces the heat. from unbearable to touch to become bearable to touch warm

mine 2 years+ still going strong

btw battery kaput can DIY change quite easy

my a500s have HDR on. that feature is too good not to be on, especially for night recording..

Hmm, even with wifi off also still overheat ah? Damn. Cause i find that the wifi is the one that generates the most heat.

I keep every non-essential settings to a minimal to avoid heat. So display seconds is minimal, wifi is off, etc. Cant rmb my full settings liao
