Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

[leinahtan]

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.

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.

*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.

Sabi sa review maganda naman daw suction cup para hindi mavibrate masyado pag nasa windshield.

^Yes, but I'm worried about warping my windshield tint. If madamage ko kasi, mas mahal pa ireplace yung tint kesa sa total cost nung dashcam.

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.

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.

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

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.

My setup is sj4000, 64gb micro sd formated in fat32 and a 11000mah powerbank from cdrking. I can leave the dashcam recording while i'm away. 64gb can record 8.5hours straight. Di ko pa na try 128gb kung pwede sa sj4000, maybe it can record twice as much. Hindi rin maubos powerbank on a straight 8.5hrs use

me local reseller na xiaomi dashcam sa pinas?
