I highly recommended this Dash Camera (affordable, well-built and captures bright videos at night)

I mentioned earlier I was going to order a Xiaomi Yi as a rear camera. But, its bulk made me think it over since it uses a suction cup. Plus, it was harder to find and it used a battery which will make it problematic in the hot desert climate I live in. So, I decided to buy an older Black Box G1W-C. As a rear-facing dashcam, I think it's okay, looking at sample footage from YT.

Fellow motorists, I recommend this dash camera from Xiaomi:



Gamit ko dati yung dual lens camera, ok naman lalo na kampante ka na pati loob ng sasakyan ay recorded. Kita din slightly ang sides so kung dun ang impact or ginitgit ka, kuha sa video. Ang kaso lang pagdating sa gabi pretty much useless. Kahit medyo maliwanag dahil sa light posts, halos wala na makita.
Unlike sa gamit ko na to ngayon, mas maliwanag pa sa nakikita mo, no exaggeration hehe.

Eto naman kung pano ang malinis na installation:




Anyway, just sharing dahil sa panahon ngayon necessity na ang dash cams. Cheers!

Magkanu naman po ung ganyan na dash can sir?

Tomorrow, we'll be on the road.

For now, this is what I have recorded that I did not (yet) erase.

Comparing image quality between the Black Box G1W-C and Spytec A119. Note that the EV Exposure for the G1W-C is 0 while it's +1/3 on the A119. The G1W-C is also at 1080p while the A119 is at 1440p.

Another issue I have with the original G1W-C is its image quality is harder to optimize for the given conditions. I don't have to fiddle too much with the exposure settings of the Spytec A119. I can leave the EV exposure at 0 and be happy whether it's day or night, cloudy or sunny.

However, I found myself constantly adjusting the exposure settings of the G1W-C. On a cloudy or rainy day, it might be at 0. But, on a typically sunny day, the exposure settings might be at -1 (-3/3). Then, I have to change it again for night conditions. Too much work to get it just right.

Here, I have exposure at -1 (-3/3):



It could also be the desert heat. So, I'll continue testing the G1W-C when the weather cools down later this year.

Both g1w and A119 are excellent bang for buck cams. The G1W is still a great buy since it has great pq and costs half of the A119.

The problem with the G1W-series is there are too many fakes floating around. If I find one dirt-cheap, the probability of it being a fake is high. If I were to buy another G1W, I'd choose the newer Viofo G1W-S (newer lens and sensor). My G1W-C was made by Black Box.

I would like to buy either a Xiaomi Yi or an Anker Roav Dashcam C1 as a replacement. But, I think they will not take kindly to the heat over here. I think the A119 handles the desert heat better. My Spytec A119 also cost $79.95. Not too bad.
