Sheraytom 1st Gear June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 Anyone knows the difference between iroad Q7 and Q9? Both dashcam looks identical to me. Both specs for Q7 and Q9 are similar except for the rear cam of Q7 is only HD whereas Q9 is FHD. The price difference is about S$60. I got the Q7 which is good enough for me... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fampngem 1st Gear June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 I got a suggestion, get a spare high res handphone, download a good dashcam app and use that for overnight and daytime recording. After each trip in the day with no incident, just delete each video to save space. No wiring n no hassle. Sell the car can still continue using the spare phone as spare phone. Think many people switching to using phone for dashcam.What a Creative method!! Are you using this method too??Both specs for Q7 and Q9 are similar except for the rear cam of Q7 is only HD whereas Q9 is FHD. The price difference is about S$60.

benoit16 4th Gear June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Like to ask your feedback: Actually how well did the power pack serve you? The cam draw power from the power pack, and the power pack is in turn charged by the car right? Weekdays, if i drive short distances (only 10-15 min max) going to lunch, and later back to office, as well as end of the day back home from office, is there enough time for the car to charge up the power pack? I do drive for maybe up to an hour in the mornings for my school runs. But even if can charge full in the morning, will the power pack be depleted if i go on parking mode? The rest of the day's driving pattern is what I mentioned above... Tks. iRoad got some trade-in promo going on which will end this week, if you have an old set of 2-ch cam. - X9 for $360 - TX9 for $450 in my experience if you use the power pack with the quick charging feature in should remain mostly charged especially since you drive it almost daily. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope_n_pray 2nd Gear June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 Went to view some of the recordings on my V9S2 yesterday and noticed that the rear cam is blurry. Have been using for about 1.5 years. Anyone else facing this problem? No more warranty so contemplating which camera to try next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got to find a way to cover the phone in the car for night recording. A second hand phone that can do night recording is so cheap these days, cheaper than iroad or blackvue plus resolution is much better. Personally I can't be bothered to record at night.

LPPL 6th Gear June 28, 2018 Share June 28, 2018 (edited) What a Creative method!! Are you using this method too?? Thanks Sheraytom! I am getting the Q7 too.. hope it is good!! I contemplated on getting a cheap dashcam but I ruled out the idea when I realise my phone can record in much higher resolution than any Simi sai dashcam, so I ripped out all the wires in my car and just put a good hp holder in front to record each trip using my phone. There are many good dashcam apps you can use but I am personally using a background recording app that I can record n stop recording at a touch of a button. Videos can be easily trimmed and sent from the phone, don't even need a card reader n laptop to play video or play on cloud etc. Anyway, no harm trying out if you dislike wiring your dashcam.

Dreamer_toons 2nd Gear July 4, 2018 Share July 4, 2018 Viewing some of my footages from my 8 months old V9S2, I see that the constrast in these videos are poor and slightly washed out. At certain areas where there are strong lights, a large area around these lights are totally washed out especially the lights from the lamp posts. The recording quality seems to deteriorate and they aren't as poor as compared to a month ago. I always view and check my footages monthly to ensure the V9S2 is working properly and recordings are in order. Will visit the service centre on this issue.

I know a few others did the T9 too (see the AA's promo). ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
