I have a Hella DR 850 that came with the used car that I purchased. It's fine, no issues so far but I hope that it can record higher quality videos not only FHD. It's fun to watch those jaywalkers getting honked at and nasty drivers cutting in lane , beating the red light

One thing that I dislike is that it only records short clips i.e. if it detected a possible collision with another vehicle, hoping it can record my drive for whole day. I still haven't figure that out if possible.

How much it can record obviously depends on how large your memory card is, right? So the larger the card, the more it records.

And larger the quality, the larger the file size, the larger the card needed. QHD, UHD is not important. What's important is FPS. No point having UHD quality but your FPS is only 15. Worry about the thing that matters, not the unimportant things that are overhyped.

Make sense, it came with the previous owner's 32GB SDcard I still can hear and see their previous trip to Malaysia! LOL!

I will purchase a bigger Mem Card then to record longer videos! Thanks for the advice!

I keep 2 128GB SD cards in the car. 1 original iRoad 128GB, and a Sandisk High Endurance 128GB.

I swap them every week or if I need anything important to stay for a longer period of time. It's not that expensive.

I saw some high end units that come with Assisted Safety Driving features. Any sharing?

If you need that, probably shouldn't be driving. Should always have sufficient rest instead of relying on technology.

My car has smart city brake system (SCBS), I was rolling at <20km/h and filtering, my system immediately beeped and ask me to brake, flashing a red "BRAKE" infront of me on my HUD. It's designed to deter, but drivers have to make judgement calls. You listen to it and believe it 100%, it's going to cause you more accidents than prevent it. When SCBS kicks in, a bit of brake force is auto applied for me, good or bad?

For me, I want to get it as my wife is trying the car some times when I am not in town. Safer for her

Too much distractions, I advise otherwise. They manage car already headache, still ask them lookout, hear warnings, see warnings, confirm buang even worse.

Ladies are good at multitasking in many matters, driving, however, IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

Yes, likely so. Especially the power delivery requirements and also the connection of the cables.
