Tell me about it. They don't know that no one stops at zebra crossings.
I think the quality is ok?
rich83:
Looks great to me.

Installed the battery guard today. Way to many wires in my boot maybe the fans, thermostat and LED's are a bit much.
Think the battery guard is a bit pointless its set to cut the power at 12.1v seems to be hitting this very quickly only giving a few minutes of extra power to the camera before the camera switches to the internal battery.
There are some dashcams with buffered motion detection maybe this would have been a better option.
The leather vinyl is coming unstuck so the boot looks a real mess. :sad1:

I think the line out converter has been draining the battery as it has signal sensing there is no way to switch it off so i've wired it to the ignition. Got about 4 hours recording time today while parked up and it hadn't switched to the camera battery yet. I will give the battery a good charge. I will increase the cut off to 12.2V and see how it goes. I will manually switch the camera off when in the garage to stop draining/recharging the battery too often.

Went to a local shopping centre today. Had the front camera set to motion detect. Its not too good when people walk past they get about half way across the windshield before it starts recording. Seems to pick up the cars ok. Didn't pick up anything interesting apart from the audi squeezing into a spot i would avoid.

Getting a lot of reflection from the dash.
