Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

[yubby24]

I've been using my dashcams (DDPai Mini 1 and Viofo A119 V3) as 24x7 parking slot security cameras for some months already. I'm using a single 30,000mAh powerbank to keep these two dashcams running. The powerbank usually lasts for 20 hours but I routinely replace the powerbank every 12 hours to ensure the dashcams will not run out of power.

Lately I'm beginning to think about the safety with keeping these dashcams running. I'm worried that the dashcams might overheat and cause a fire inside the car. Although the car is parked at a covered area where there's no direct sunlight, the cabin can get a bit warm during daytime.

Am I just being paranoid about the possibility of a fire due to the dashcams overheating? I'm aware that the DDPai and Viofo dashcams are using a super capacitor instead of a lithium ion battery which is prone to overheating. What do you guys think?

DDPai user din since 2018. AFAIK, may overheat protection sya. Magrereboot sya pag sobra init na. Naexperience ko na yun dati sa Mini ko sa likod. Tirik ang araw. Narinig ko na nagrestart sya. Mas prone pa mag-init at sumabog yung powerbank gaya ng sabi nila.

Using DDPai dashcam also. The manual states the operating temperature range as -20°C to 70°C. I think kahit gaano kabilad it will never reach that temperature.

I'd be more worried about the powerbank.

The powerbank is the one at risk here. Most powerbanks use lithium ion or lithium polymer which are at risk of overheating, potentially can cause a fire. Lithium Iron Phosphate powerbank batteries are generally safer to use.

So ito na disassemble yung suction cup ng dashcam ko. Hindi ko na ma ibalik, di alam kung may nawala na parts


I was about to buy a new dashcam sa blade, when I saw this phone holder. It doesn't look elegant but it does the job. Di nga lang kita yung screen.


New dashcam I was about to buy is ₱7.8k, phone holder is ₱600. Tipid! [emoji23]

I will still try to assemble the suction cup.

Try this one bro. Eventually the tint on the windshield will warp because of the suction cup especially when exposed to heat for a long period of time.

Next week ko maikakabit. Saan e abot ung cable para sa rear cam.

Ayaw na magrecord nung current dashcam ko.

I regretted buying the DDPai Mola N3 Pro. Makalog video recording on uneven roads like EDSA and C5. Dahil siguro sa stem part nung dashcam, prone to vibration.

I have the N3 Pro too. I agree the mounting system offers basically zero shock absorption.

Maybe a suction mount will offer some degree of vibration absorption, but from experience anything rigidly mounted to a hard point on a car is unavoidably going to be shaky.

Was looking for a suction mount nga. Baka mailipat ko sa mga lumang kits na naitabi ko.
