I'm also using a phone as dashcam (AutoGuard Dash Cam) dahil nagtitipid nga.
But after an accident in which my dashcam video can prove my innocence in court, I'm going to get the best dashcam.
If my phone camera view was wider like of a dedicated dashcam, the impact could have been captured:

^ you're just being a cheapskate.
madali din malowbatt ang iphobe na naka camera. gagamit ka din ng cable/powerbank to charge it so di na clean looking din![]()
You didnt ask how long or how far is the commute, its exactly 2.9kms from house to daughters school then its less than 1km from school to my bussiness/office everyday. Yes its a boring drive. I miss the 1-2hrs drive from pque to makati, the congestion, rush hour, color coding, edsa and of course, MMDA

Lols... cheapskate it is, You said it yourself. Anyway since your iphone is doing a fine job as a dashcam then you can pass. Unless, youll be using your phone when it serves as a dashcam then its a wise idea to invest on something to seperate the two... ☺
I admit im a Cheapskate, my commute doesnt merit that much of an investment, but hear me out, im using carcorder app right now, its $1.99 in the app store, records in 1080, you still can use the music player in the background, has 8x slowmotion so its easy to see the plate number infront, it has a powersaving mode, btw, u can still use google maps for directions, auto dial in case on an emergency, there is the usual snapshot and speedlog etc. its a waste if we dont maximize what we have, its a 30k phone. Sayang naman kung pang tawag at pang brazzers lang.

was able to get another sj4000 non-wifi. buti meron bagong stocks. this new one has a more recent firmware. since wala pa ako chance makauwi sa amin to install it to our other vehicle, i have it now as a rear dash cam.
seems the new firmware provides 1 second faster bootup and shutdown (or baka naman because of the length of the power cable, i have both wired sa rear cigarette plug).
i think mas sulit pa rin yung sj4000 non-wifi vs dedicated dashcam since dual purpose kapag may outing/lakad. pwedeng pang-action cam.

Ive been using my android phone as a dashcam before.
Masasabi ko na sulit yung sjcam. Dual purpose pa kasi pwede pang outdoor activities ko.
Nag bigayan nang video yung both parties. Sa case nung bag momotor, ang video is galing dun sa kasama nung bumangga.
Just sharing. Nakita ko lang sa wall ko. Mukhang ok nmn specs at video sample and maraming umoorder sa page nila. https://www.qube.asia/dashcam-1611.html
malinaw nga sir, pero mas maganda kung wider yung coverage ng camera. i believe mas mura ang SJ4000 dyan at wider ang kuha.
sobrang panget picture quality ng sj4000 dahil ang luma na ng cpu and lens compared nito. itong sa qube sa nakikita ko, maganda ang chipset at lens ang gamit same lang sa mini 0805.

Looking to get another dashcam for my other car. SJ4000 non-wifi sana, but I don't need the action cam capability since I already have the SJ4000 wifi.
Any other dashcam in the 3k range that offers better image/video quality?
sir jut ako kumuha na lang ng isa pang sj4000. similar kasi rearview mirror stalk ng crv gen1 saka civic ek. saka para wala na ako problemahin. kumbaga, kabisado ko na.

Mga paps, ask ko lang sana kung mataas ba ang ambient temperature capacity ng mga dashcam nyu.
Balak ko kasi mag install sa sedan ni misis, pero ang problema outside parking lang lagi ang car nya, meaning always expose in heat and rain hindi ba masira agad ang unit kung laging bilad at expose sa init sa parking.
Mahirap naman kung baklas kabit lagi...anong maipapayo nyu.
DP200
operating temp: -30°C (-22°F) ~ 65°C (149°F)
storage temp: -30°C (-22°F) ~ 70°C (158°F)
bihira lang kasi ako magpark sa labas, pero palagi kong iniiwan yung dashcam sa loob, nung umuwi lang ako sa province dun ko lang inalis yung dashcam walang roof yung garahe.
just to be on safe side, alisin mo na lang lalo na kung may battery ang dashcam mo. madali lang naman baklasin lalo na kung suction mount ang gamit mo.

panget ang sensor ng sj4000 na Aptina AR0330 compared sa sensor ng qube na ang mas bagong OV4689 (1/3" 4.0 Mega CMOS Sensor). Mas malinaw yung details tulad ng license plates kahit moving yung kinunan mo. at lalo ng mas malinaw ang kuha ng OV4689 lalo na pag gabi. maganda sana yung chipset ng sj4000 pero panget yung sensor at lens na gamit nila.
