Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

Curious lang, does the suction cup really damage or detach the tint? And I think using an adhesive is no different. Same lang silang nakaattach sa tint and pulling it outward with its weight.
I observed din na ang suction cup of the xiaoyi is not that concave. Meron lang syang lever which does the actual locking.

It's a big no to remove the adhesive mounting by pulling it off. I use a nylon fishing line to remove it. Insert the fishing line in between the adhesive and the winshield and gently pull the line sideways to separate the mounting from the glass.

Pag suction cup malalaglag from time to time e. Baka masira ang camera

Other than that, if exposed too long to the sun, suctions cups would cause a warp on the tint and leave an indelible laway mark. It happened to my jimny already and the mark/s are there to remind me never to do it again.

There is an adaptor from amazon that can do the job. It has multiple heads that can match to different brands, even xiaomi or xiaoyi or whatever.

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

Baka sobrang tagtag na sir ng ride kung malalaglag pa. Or possible na ang dinadaanan mo is sobrang lubak talaga. So far, haven't experienced it

*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.

I stuck the adhesive on the dot matrix part of the windshield. Pag nasira tint, pwedeng yung part na yun lang palitan, hindi halata na may border. And besides, OEM20 lang tint ng Mazda ko so mura lang palitan. [emoji12]

Also, the A7 can be detached from the adhesive mount, so there's no need to remove the mount per se. Kaya permanent na siya dun unless magpalit ako dashcam.

Suction cups vibrate more than adhesives. Tried it personally. If the dashcam is mounted to a long stalk (as with most suction cup mounts), then any vibration is amplified and is noticeable on the video recording.

Here's a more detailed comparison of suction mounts vs. adhesive mounts:

Dash Cam Mounts! Adhesive Tapes or Suction Cups Mounts!

Conclusion? Adhesive mounts are better.

Yes suction cups damage tint, I experienced it firsthand before.

I record with the LCD to auto off in 3 mins. The blue led indicator light blinks that signifies it is continuously recording. I have no regrets on this cam considering its video quality day and night and its features. Tested na rin ito under the scorching sun's heat from open parkings. Thing is when you start your car, battey voltage surge is too high enough that the cam starts and automatically shuts off in an instant. Never did this recur when I installed a kill switch. No big deal. Just when the engine settles, I just flick the switch on and there it goes.

Took the A7 for its first long trip (Manila-Pampanga-Manila) today. Absolutely no problem. It beeps when it turns on, and beeps when it turns off. I checked the footage and there are no lapsed periods. No voltage surge, pag-on ng makina, on din dashcam and automatic nagrerecord until I turn the car off again. No need for kill switch. Kabit and forget.

Action cam like the SJ5000+, can go for 1 hour of recording on battery power. Mura lang din battery 250 each lang.

Still image quality is also very good (as good as GoPro 3 Silver) because of native 16MP sensor.

Wala bang mas mahaba sa 1hr... hindi kasi pwede sa ECO ang plug eh nasa transmission ang saksakan ang haba saka sagabal.

Wala. Kahit iPhone or DSLR, hindi kaya na sobrang tagal nagrerecord nang hindi nauubos battery.

Cables shouldn't be a problem - you can always route your cables through your headliner and A-pillar. Whether action cam or dedicated dashcam, pwede 'to:





Look Ma, no cables!

You don't even need your cigarette lighter socket as you can tap directly into your ignition para talagang walang sagabal na cables.

Dumating na din xiaomi yi dashcam ko...sulit na sa price para sa quality nya. Kahit gabi ang linaw pa din basta may mga streetlight..tapos 60fps HD pa.

Tanong ko lang po dito, kasi suction cup nga ito.. anong tape po ba ang gagamitin ko para idikit sa windshield ang suction cup? Marami ako nabasa dito, sisirain daw tint at madaling mahulog.

Either you use the suction cup, or find another way to mount it. IIRC dreamur posted a few pages back that he was able to find bike mounts for the Xiaomi dashcam from Amazon. That's assuming of course that your rearview mirror stalk is long enough to utilize the bike clip.

I should start selling the dashcam clip. To be transparent, I got it for P800 and will sell it for P1K to cover for freight, duties and a modest mark up. May interesado ba para mag bulk order ako?

Nice, do you have pictures of the installation? Curious to see how much a grey dashcam stands out vs a black one.

So it does look very conspicuous. This is the suction cup mount right?

Curious to see the adhesive mount as well. Nice alternative to the A7 if it weren't so bulky and if it came in black.
