For emergency recording, the video recording length is 20sec and it will be stored in another EMR folder. Normal recording are stored in movie folder which will be overwrite if storage capacity is full.


Anyone tried changing chinese filmware into english?

mines already in English.

So I guess no harm to let it set to enabled by default?

Upz for this thread. Mods pls merge the newer thread.


$75 without warranty. $105 with warranty. Cheap and good. Easy to install yourself. Use wifi to download selected video via app, hence no need to take out microSD card.

1.
i am using a 64gb card
max resolution

2a.
you download the app, hook it up to the cam via wifi
the time and date is auto-captured

2b.
update the firmware of the cam, which is done through the phone app. the latest firmware version the time/date setting

also
mine didnt come with 3m sticker, it has a proper suction mount

how much did you pay for yours??
i bought from qoo10 $80+ chinese version 6months local shop warranty

the app is in english and has full control over all settings of the cam. so regardless of the cam language, i am still using an english app:s13:

which seller selling the version with 3m tape instead of the suction cup?

Local dealer selling 3M stick type. Singapore weather not good for sunction type, it will not hold when the sun shines onto the windscreen.

what's the purpose of emergency recording ah

Sent from Samsung SM-N910G using GAGT

iirc
3 level of sensitivity
upon impact, records "10sec before" to "10sec after" the impact
write protected file, stored in emergency folder

only downside, no motion sensor or parking mode

and i am using the suction mount, no problem.
clean the glass, wipe the suction mount

u can diy. its pretty simple. i did mine in 10mins
inside have instruction to teach u how.

true, its simple and fast

It's really very easy to hide the cable. As easy as tucking in your t-shirt. Just need a credit card or ez link card or petrol discount card, tuck the cable inside the rubber lining along the pillar. Go watch on YouTube. There's a link here somewhere in the thread.
