Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

[oj88]

A few weeks ago, a truck backed into my car, damaging the front bumper and LTO plate+plate cover. The damage is relatively superficial but it did required "hot-pressing" the dented portion of the bumper and repainting. This has all been fixed.

Anyway, this got me thinking of "what if" scenarios. If it weren't for the bystanders, nobody could've witnessed what happened and the truck driver could've easily claimed that I hit him and I would've not been able to claim for damages. I've seen this happen on Youtube and many times a dashcam can pretty much give a definitive account of different traffic incidents and altercations for purposes of proving that you're NOT in the wrong, as the case may be.

This prompted me to install one. The model I got has two cameras and a built-in GPS (for recording speed, direction of travel, and the ability to view recorded videos in-synced with Google Maps later). It also has a 3D G-meter (X, Y, & Z). Not sure yet how the latter can be helpful other than to measure the amount of forces involved in an accident.

Pics!

Playback sample capture (Sorry for the censor. Shy ako.. lol):


All wires are tucked into the roof lining and practically 98% hidden from view. I like my installs to be as clean as possible.

And to those thinking kinky thoughts.... Nope, I'm very much happily married and the possibility of a scandal video ever happening is very remote.

But I do reserve the right turn it off, if necessary. :naughty2:

How much was it?

[renzo_d10]

^ Mura na, ah.

[oj88]

^ Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I got it in HK for 600HKD (about PHP 3.3k). It is available on Sulit for around PHP 4.5k.

1 seller lang nakita ko sa sulit 4,750 ang price kaso walang feedback at 5-7days daw kasi mang gagaling pa sa hongkong ang unit kaya pag bayad mo ng full mag aantay ka pa. medyo alanganin para sa akin yung ganon transaction. anyway tita ko naman parati pumupunta ng HK i just hope pumunta pa siya ulit this year. meron kasi ako ngayon galing cd-r king but i'm not satisfied with it.

ginnova, 2 models siya e, yung sa akin, walang G-sensors para mas mura. and wala din GPS. hindi uso sa taiwan yung may GPS e.
yung price, 4800NT for the unit + 900NT for the 32GB SDHC card. mas mahal pero ok na para sa akin. kasi Full HD na hehe

rate is around 1.42peso = 1NT

for those interested on cheap X3000 DVR, you can find it in Aliexpress.

I ordered 1 unit for US$51.19 with free shipping via China post. Medyo me katagalan nga lang ang arrival ( usually 30 ~ 45 days ).

Will update my post once i receive the item.

Malamang you need to personally collect the unit sa post office at dun po magkakabayaran ng custom duties.

Expect +50-60% of the unit's value para makuha mo (plus abala sa pag antay sa makalumang sistema sa customs)

Me nagbebenta na sa sulit ng x3000 for 3k i think.

any other brand/model recommendation? gusto ko din ng dashcam.

It's been over two years since I bought my DVR and started this thread. The unit still works, surprisingly. Aside from the battery only lasting just a few minutes when unplugged, the thing is still alive.

Nasira yun plug/adapter ng akin kala ko fuse lang pero ok pa yun fuse. Rated output is 5V 1.5A. May USB adapter ako at rated sya ng 5v at 2.0A. Ginawa ko pinutol ko yun cable ng dvr adapter tapos pinalitan ko ng USB cable at gagamitin na lang yun USB. Black and Red wires lang yun sa dvr Adapter so kinabit ko sa Red and Black wires ng USB cable. Kaso pag sinasaksak ko na, magoon lang sya in a few minutes at mamamatay na yung camera pero nakailaw pa rin yun power button. Parang mas malakas ang consumption kesa input. Ano pwede gawin?

Not sure what's going on pero it seems may problem na yung DVR mo. Nag-iinit ba yung unit? If so, wag mo na gamitin. May kutob ako na yung Li-Ion battery sa loob ng unit sira na.

Replaced my cheap P1,600 dash cam with GW1-C from item shop (as referred by fellow tsikoteers). Mas maganda kuha at hindi problema sa gabi yung detection.

Yung dati kusa nag-ooff eh. Hindi nadedetect kpag gumagalaw na kotse sa harap. Malabo pa kahit claim nila eh FHD 1080P.
