New DashCams?

[FireMedic]

I know its a huge "dead horse beater", but what are you using? I'm looking for a front and back cam for my new car. I really don't want to get one from the basement guys in Central.

Mate, check out the motoring forum on here - a few topics on this which are current.

thanks guys!

sorry....

[sometime]

I am using the DOD CR65W, excellent little cam bought it online from an authorized dealer (no clone) and had it brought over from the UK.

Then I decided to get a cheap cam for the rear from the local IT Mall, it turned out to be a totally piece of garbage, I was going to say you get what you pay for, but that not the case here.

Sorry i'm late with the thank you Spoonman, but thanks for your reply in another topic a few weeks back.

Have you checked out the GPS on playback, does it work? I was told that this models firmware doesn't support Thailand GPS?

Yep defo works, a quick google of the coordinates pegs the car at the correct location.

[FireMedic]

Where did you get it? Install yourself?

[Spoonman]

Bought it from Ebay. Instal was easy and I did it myself.

Another one to check out is Visiondrive. Look it up it does everything you are looking for, can fit I think up to 4 cameras, front, rear and sides.

I'm told GPS on the ones sourced from Korea (which some places sell in Thailand) don't work in Thailand. Perhaps it depends on the firmware version ?

Mine has the english firmware v2.002.

The company (Pittasoft) that makes them is a Korean company so Iam not sure where else they could be sourced from so I would be looking at product authenticity before firmware version if there is an issue with the GPS.

[GavinK]

Any idea where the product that you bought on ebay was shipped from ? Was it US or UK ebay ? Any clues on the box ? Apparently firmware on those sourced from Korea and shipped into Thailand is different from that on models shipped to and sold elsewhere (although I don't know if firmware could easily be replaced...).

[Spoonman]

Purchased through US Ebay, sent from Korea.

Firmware upgrade does not look difficult.

Can the rear cam be hooked up to a monitor in the front? Such as the rear cams here that connect into a special rearview mirror that has a small monitor section on it?

The rear cam is not really a parking camera but you could buy a cheap android tablet and connect via wifi for a permanent screen solution.

I don't view the cameras at all, I do via my phone if I want but that novelty wore off after a day. Now I just pop the memory card when I get home and pull the clips from it andview on my PC.

[GavinK]

Spoonman - did you purchase yours from dream-seller, shipped to Thailand ? Any Thai duties to pay ?

Boycie - It seems pittasoft make different versions. The one for the local Korean market seems to be the one which some shops sell in Thailand and the GPS doesn't work. They say if you want to use outside of Korea buy the overseas version which is sold by overseas dealers (listed on their website).

I bought mine from dgtlsystems.

Where can we by the blackvue dashcam in Thailand ?

[Deacon Bell]

If one buys a dashcam that has a cig-plug adapter to plug into cig-lighter, how difficult is it to change the power source and connect it to the car battery?

What would be needed to do so?

[Deacon Bell]

OP, I'm just browsing these ones online:

http://www.olx.co.th/product-7384693/

I'm looking for a dual cam, 1080p minimum, but would prefer it to start off the battery than plugged into the cig lighter.

[Deacon Bell]

This looks good for only 1,900b.
