Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

[jut703]

Finally got an Xcam A7 and had it installed on my car. Used the adhesive and stuck it on the part of the windshield in front of the rearview mirror for unobtrusive operation.



Video quality is definitely a step up from my SJ4000, especially at night. It's also more discrete than those Transcend dashcams that look like Gameboys stuck to the windshield. Mini 0805 would've been better, but I can't really complain about the A7.

How much for that and saan mo nabili?

4k sa Qube bro pero out of stock lahat ng branches right now. Nabili ko yung akin sa OLX for 3.7k kasama na yung anti-glare lens (na useless kasi madilim sa gabi).

Kaya ayoko ng DP220 kasi ang laki niya. Quality-wise the DP220 isn't better. Pareho lang. From the YouTube videos I've seen parang mas sharp pa nga A7 but it could be because YT reduces quality. DP220 just has the advantage of GPS logging and that fancy lane monitoring blah blah.

Congratulations bro. We have the same unit. In fact I have two (one each for the suv and sedan). I installed a kill switch to both, enabling me to switch it on manually after the car starts and off before turning the ignition off.

I prefer to have it turn on and off automatically. I have both my dashcams set to full automatic, so I can just forget that they're there and the only time I mind them is if I want to retrieve a video of my drive. [emoji4]

Only then you would think that I was right installing a kill switch when your a7 starts to hang-up and stalls.

Hasn't happened. When it does, I'll buy a dashcam that doesn't hang up and stall.

My SJ4000 is almost 2 years old and hasn't hung up and stalled on me. If the A7 is faulty, then I'll throw it away and get a dashcam that can do the job.

I don't want the hassle of turning my dash cam on and off every single time I drive.

I got 2 at the same time, and both behaves the same thing. Good luck then.

Thanks for the heads up. Will monitor the A7 to see if it has any issues. Do you record with the LCD on or off? Heat could be the culprit for the random hangs.

Never had to install a kill switch for the X-Cam A7 in my experience, auto on and shut off na siya without too much hassle.

Naexperience ko lang na nalaglag yung suction mount nung paakyat ng Baguio, but then agian it could be due to an immediate rise in pressure. Within lowlands no problem

*jut, not worried about damaging your tint anymore? Or mas okay ba somehow ang permanent adhesive kesa sa suction cup? Been wanting the Xiaoyi kasi pero suction mount lang available.
