Bought at Fa. Adam, absolutely fast delivery, very good German manual (also includes the description of how the cam is released from the holding plate), perfect. The mounting of the cam should be carefully chosen. Power is supplied from the top, the camera is withdrawn upward from the holding plate, an installation in windshield center and therefore usually decides on the rear view mirror mount so that in most cases (for cable laying, but beneficial!). It remains due to the unobtrusiveness mostly the question of whether the attachment is to the left or right take place behind the rearview mirror. Advantage right: mirror is usually inclined towards the driver, so here is more space for releasing the cam, easy removal SD card. Advantage Links: G-Sensor is disabled backup button more accessible. In both cases, the recording field is more than adequate. I opted for the left, the lower keys are below the mirror edge. The holding plate I glued with activated Cam to get a straight picture. A correction is not possible, the part that sticks really unsolvable. Once installed now for Cam: inconspicuous, small camera, no reflections matt there are no visible labels, super good feel and good workmanship impression by fastening and mounting technology wobbles absolutely fixed, nothing the vertical adjustment range for Golf IV from perfect, as shown by predecessors would possibly on an individual basis, in order to avoid hobbyists solutions, an inclined plate advantageous Settings can be made easily Camera starts almost instantaneously at start with monitoring function of the motion sensor responds very well my best shots I achieve with 1080p, exposure +1/3, HDR from dashcam for large image sensor really good day and twilight shots (eg, B. signs, traffic lights, number plate, etc.) Night shots are, as usual, depends on Lichtverhältnisssen (own driving lights, street lights, oncoming traffic etc.), Surveillance footage at night is useless in low light conditions and lack of driving lights, a cam with Ambarella processor, WDR and infrared (however u, u. the reflection of windscreen note) is likely to be at an advantage here, but I expect from Novatek processor a lower amount of heat, especially in small enclosures, depending on the constellation (eg , B. heat generation processor, temperature development summer, quality SD card, etc.) ensures a more stable function Micro can be switched off, recordings vary between satisfactory and good Cam can be solved by mounting plate and place it back easily
General information about Cam: The lack of GPS is for me is not a disadvantage. There are problems with GPS devices z, B. when there is no GPS signal, unstable GPS signal and sluggish GPS sensor. This leads to false may speed indicator, which is different from actual road speed! The cam is for me is a pure tool to clarify any accident happened, of course, a prerequisite is the admission by the judge. Legal problems I see at present in Germany not work if there is no publication of the photographs is done, the recordings will be made only for private use, not a denunciation is done in other traffic violations (eg display at police) and the recordings as evidence by the judge. This then requires mM also that the shooting may not be deleted burden for dashcam operators. Privacy advocates, who see a dashcam as critical, should remember that for the same purpose as mobile phones, Action Cams, Google Class, digital cameras and camcorders can be used! A sole banning Dash cams would be at today's state of the art you just the legal and insurance lobby owed. For leisure and Linesiding there are more suitable cams. An additional "accident camera" should be in every vehicle.
Conclusion: A similar concept is can be currently found in the market hardly. The processing, the design, selection of components and thus the achievable recording quality speak for themselves. The camera settings are easy to accomplish. Weak points are, according to my criteria, I put on a dashcam, not before, the manufacturer should think only about an inclined plate. In the properties of the dashcam is virtually unrivaled and also very inexpensive. For me, the right decision and a strong buy recommendation for each dashcam-interested!
