Dashboard Camera - Need advice

D_Accord said:
Oh yeah? I'm pretty satisfied with the quality I get.. perhaps we had different expectations? I read the reviews and this is one of the best night cams according to users.

Got fu@ked . For some reason every time I turn on the car it does not start anymore. And is not recording anymore.
If I do a "delete all" it starts. But I have to do that every time I start the car.
Oh maaaann I could have had some nice videos !!

oh no.. mine's still going strong and most of the time I forget it's running. Have you tried to unplug everything, maybe make sure the connection is secured?
 
So I use this card.

I pulled the card out and I can't delete the files on it. None. I tried the format the card from the camera , from my PC, nothing works. Lol
I guess is the card the problem.
And yes I tried to unplug all, even for one night. Still nothing.
I'll report back once I change the SD card.
Any suggestions for SD?

Had the same problem with my ADATA card, had to sent it back for warranty replacement.
 
Tks.
Didn't even think about sending it back. I've had it for almost one year now...I'd have to check how long is the warranty.
 
I encourage people to get these dashcams preferrably one that films both the front and back.
Not only does it document `interesting`things but you can capture important accidents either involving you or others etc.

I hope this will become a standard feature soon in a vehicle like a blackbox on an airplane with the option of turning it off

So I decided to give it a try and SanDisk asked me to send it back and they will send me a new one. I was actually surprised...two years later. Tks davebert for the suggestion.

BUT my goal of this post was to mention you guys what they told me.
" SANDISK INTRODUCES ITS FIRST MEMORY CARDS ENGINEERED SPECIFICALLY FOR DASHBOARD CAMERAS AND HOME VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEMS"
They said "we only recommend HIGH ENDURANCE cards on dash cameras". Didn't even know about those cards.
So they are replacing my U1 with a O10.
They said that if the dashcamera moves a lot in the car..it can dammage the card.

If I go deep in my research...it could even make perfect sense, because this is the car that drives the most and all year around. So I guess in the winter our potholes do not help.
I have same cards in my other ones and no problems. Coincidence?
I do not know.

Anyhow...here is the link for the recommneded card:

High Endurance SD cards recommended for dash camera
 
I got this
http://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-A118-C...e=UTF8&qid=1454895688&sr=8-7&keywords=dashcam
Camera blends in fine. Quality is great and it doesn't run off a battery (however it dies right away once power is cut, vs battery which can run minutes after). The only good thing I see is that it may last in the long-term because it doesn't have a battery which seems to die after a year and messes up the camera (Power cable charges dead battery, dead battery *tries* to powers device). I would have liked to get a front/back camera but didn't find anything that I liked.

I also ordered the SD card amazon recommended but it ended up being a fake (I ran a write/read program) and it ended up being a 8gb card. This happened twice to me, the other being a mobile kiosk at a mall.

Thread revival:

J'ai un ami qui se cherche une dashcam pas trop cher qui va filmer en avant et en arrière car ca fait 3 fois en 2 ans qui se fait rentrer dedans (aucun responsable) dont un délit de fuite dans le parking.

Puisque ce thread date de presque que 3 ans, j'aimerais savoir c quoi qui se fait de bon en 2018.

BTW, perso, j'ai ma G1W qui fonctionne bien depuis 5 ans (Thanks MR)
 
J'ai changé ma dashcam dernièrement (Mini 0803) par celle ci : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DN8Q8Q6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1080p en avant, 480p en arrière, grand miroir qui s’agrippe au miroir existant avec la lentille qui dépasse sur un côté, ma Mini était déjà discreet, sa c'est encore mieux, possibilité d'avoir la cam arrière allumé automatique quand on recule (pas obligatoire), les 2 cams enregistre dans des fichiers séparés, touchscreen facile à utiliser, 89.99-10$ coupon à cliqué direct sur la page avant d'ajouter au panier

À date je suis très content, qualité en avant est bonne, en arrière correct (480p étant ce que c'est), sur l'écran intégré au miroir tu peux sélectionner de te montrer l'image de la cam en avant ou celle d'en arrière ou les 2 en même temps (pratique pendant l'installation). Ta en masse assez long de filage, j'en ai eu trop pour mon Pathfinder. Le miroir a une petite teinte dedans.

SD cards do that sometimes. There's a utility that some found works (I think it's called SD Flash Utils or something) but all the ones I got into that state were good for the poubelle. Most of the time it will throw the card that way when something is writing to it and loses power.

I've had it happen with Raspberry Pi's and also with at least one cell phone.

J'ai eu la meme dans mon ancienne S40 et je te donne un x2 dessus. D'ailleurs j'en ai mis une dans la Subaru aussi, ca aide la teinte en plus contre les lumieres DEL a 4" du cul le soir ou juste quand un pick-up te suit avec ses lumieres a marde a la hauteur de tes yeux...
 
dans ce thread, j'avais revu la ebay dual cam.

#1 J'ai du acheté ça en 2009 ou 2010, et elle roule encore !!! Chaud / froid. elle a passé 3 SD card ( normal, du flash ca meurt avec le read/write)

Vraiment incroyable. Dans le temps c'était du 480 upscalé à 720p, donc l'image est OK, mais tu ne lit pas une plaque à plus de 5-6m de distance. voir si elle se font en 1080 ou 2k.

#2 Sinon, dans mon autre auto je roule la mini 0826 1296p. acheté il y a 2 ans. J'en ai cherché une dual cam, mais rien de hot se faisait il y a 2 ans.

Je vois les plaques de char de loin, donc un gros avantage sur la qualité. techmoan avait fait un review et était impressionné de la qualité de l'image.

edit

#3 je viens de voir ça sur ebay. ca lair récent, je ne l'avais jamais vu. Mais les mini 080X dans le temps avaient de mauvais review sur le overheat, mon ami a une brique de mini 0805 dans sont auto, elle a jamais marché car elle overheat à rien. Voir les review de celle là . elles sont vraiment mini, elles ne paraissent pas.
