Can't they make a Car Battery to last as long

Probably, but where's the profit in that? I had a Sunbeam automatic toaster that was still going strong after 30 years, bet you won't get that out of any made today.

  • Good to hear, but have you at any time during those years checked that the camera is actually still recording? Those memory cards do have a limited read/write life and in that time the card will

  • There's quite a large range, and a few different options... The cheapest units start around 300-400 Baht, but have terrible picture quality and build quality - not worth wasting your money IMHO. At

Just like to bring up a point about camera batteries failing. Like any battery they don't last forever and it's true the camera will still work as long as it gets power from the car.

 

The problem is without the camera battery working as soon as you turn off the key the camera shuts down and the last file, which might just be the most important one is unplayable because the camera did not have internal battery power time to save that file. 

 

If you do have an accident don't just turn off the ignition and jump out of the car, wait for that last file on the camera to finish so you don't loose evidence of the accident.

 

Here a link to just about everything you may need to know about camera batteries from a previous discussion:-

:smile:

 

 

If you are as smart as me you always keep your dashcam connected to a powerbank and you will never miss the last file...

 

Also my cam is always on even if I park for hours.

 

And for the guy who still do not understand that if you have a brain you can find real G1W on lazada, mine perfectly matches the details here:

RECORN IN MOV (not avi)
HAS HDMI PORT
Novatek NT96650 processor
Aptina AR0330 CMOS

Anybody has bought a G1W for less than 1500 thb lately? I need a new one for the back of the car. Where did you buy it ? Thanks.

I need to buy one now as a lady at the red lights went backwards into my fron! Can you believe it? Fortunately, she has an insurance and admits she was the wrongdoer. Can anyone recommend one? I have read the whole thread and I would want a dashcam that has the following specifications:

1920 x 1080 ; mov-files ; HDMI port ; parking function ; stabilizer ; able to power up from power bank to avoid corrupted files. Anyone knows such a dashcam?

 

I went with a Chum to a Lotus Extra. The Cam guy took 4 out to his Car to give demo ,much better way, played em back inside on Laptop ..then fixed his choise in the Car for him .

I put mine behind my mirror, can hardly see it but just enough to know it's running. Bought an extra long cable and routed that under ceiling and door trim to fag lighter.

I would have liked to hide the cable on mine, but I know I'll stuff up pulling the trim out and end up making a mess of it.

I thought the same, but it was surprisingly easy. Don't pull the trim out just use a blunt plastic object to "persuade" the cable under the trim.

And for 100thb your local car accessory shop or sellar will hide the cable for you.

 

Need to be careful if an air bag is behind the cover ...

There is that option as welll. What I would say though is buy a cable a lot longer than you think you will need as that will give you different routing options. Excess is easy to hide. I also have a dual USB that plugs into the fag lighter so can still charge other stuff and keep the dash cam running.

G1W. There is not other cheap and good choice.

 

My friends and me have been using G1W for years and never had a problem.

 

1500 thb.

 

Then other people will try to explain you other things that they do not understand themselves... Listen if you feel like.

 

 

I have two of these Vicovation MF2 GPS a bit more expensive but we'll worth the extra outlay. They have there own for software for laptops. The playback quality is excellent day and night. Can highly recomend

Any update ? moretech is now only 1299.

Not sure if any other sellers selling for less than 1000 are authentic. Do you have any evidence ?

Moretech is 100% genuine.

 

 

What is excellent for some people might not be for others.

Anyway, I find ridiculous buying an expensive dashcam, knowing that it will sit under the sun 12 hours a day...

 

 

I got mine (Kenpro) for free from the insurance company inclusive of a 5% discount on my policy.

Is the company a secret?
