Question What's your system for saving footage before it gets overwritten? Almost lost an important clip last week.

5 Upvotes

Had a minor parking lot thing happen last week, I wanted the footage just in case. Didn't get around to pulling it off the card for like 4 days because life happened, and when i finally went to grab it the loop recording had almost overwritten it. Caught it with maybe a day to spare.

Realized i don't have any real system for this. I assumed the footage would sit there until i needed it, didn't think about the card cycling through and erasing the older stuff.

How do you guys handle this. Do you save important clips manually every time something happens, is there an app that auto backs things up, or am i just supposed to be checking my footage way more often than i do.

Question Best Front + Rear 4k No screen Dash Cam

2 Upvotes

After having some kids with his 2 mates in a sh#$ box car change lanes without looking and had I not jumped on the brakes would have slammed into the front and side of my car it's probably time. Canberra drivers and getting worse and worse every single day.

I was originally thinking drivevision as its Ozzy made but then found that there is no customer support and few other issues.

Then was looking at Blackvue Brand: Blackvue

4.0

4.0 out of 5 stars

(87)

BlackVue DR970X-2CH-64 | 4K UHD Cloud Ready Two Channel Dash Camera with Built-in WiFi, GPS & Native Parking Mode | 64GB SDHC Included

But have read firmware updates are lacking and it's damn expensive.

Suggestions please.

Question Which dash cam has impressed you the most after long term use?

1 Upvotes

It's easy to compare features on paper, but I've found that long term ownership usually tells a different story.

For those who've had the same dash cam for a year or longer, what brand and model are you using, and how has it held up over time? Has it been reliable enough that you rarely think about it, or have you run into issues like overheating, SD card errors, app problems, or missed recordings

I'm more interested in hearing about real ownership experiences than spec sheets. If you had to rate your current dash cam after living with it for a while, would you buy the same one again? Why or why not?

Question Vantrue E1 pro Parkmodus

Hi,

Ich habe eine vantrue e1 pro und wßrde gerne den Parkmodus nutzen. Nun ist mir nicht ganz klar was in den settings die Werte 1-5 bedeuten? Denke mal das ist die Sensibilität zur Erkennung.

Nun habe ich das Problem, wenn ich einsteige wird das als Parkrempler erkannt und aufgezeichnet.

Welcher Wert ist hier optimal damit diese false-positives nicht so häufig auftreten?

Question Viofo A229 Front Window Mount Install Question

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello All,

After doing some research here I picked up a Viofo A229.
Overall the installation went well.

Unfortunately I do have a pocket of air on the front mount.
Clean seal on the all the way around the perimeter.
Per a web search this is likely due to curve of glass and a soft center section of the mount.

Will this hold up in the desert heat?
I did a very thorough clean and isopropyl application.

Appreciate feedback.

I did a search for this type of question and wasn’t able to find any recent threads

Question Looking for suggestions on what dashcam I should buy for my BMW convertible

0 Upvotes

I'm having problems finding a good dashcam that will work with my car for the rear view. Getting the frontal windshield is easy but the back of the car, not so easy. Specifically it's a 2016 228i BMW convertible and the problem comes in that there's no way to bolt a rear view dash cam on the trunk and then lead it into the car, as the whole area around the license plate is used for something, to be specific..the plate, then above it is the empty grab area to lift the trunk open, to the right is a reverse camera(doesn't function as a dashcam, only used when reversing for in car computer for me to see), and to the left is a light.(A google images picture of the rear should explain it better).

Inside on the back, there's only a small plastic area right before where the convertible opens up to put the roof inside the trunk so there's no flat surface to put it on there.

Sorry if its a long read, I'm just really stuck trying to find a solution that seems impossible.

Question Which is my best option?

Which one of these(or a different similar one) would be my best option? I DoorDash in west Texas, so a lot of sun and heat. My main wants is that it has at least 2 channel, gps and 24hr parking mode. Is 4k necessary? Will 2-2.7k be fine? I really want quality and something that will actually work for under $300. Or should I get two A119 pros? Let me know!! Thank y’all in advance! Also, what is a good SD card?
