Speed_ong Clutched October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 Is the battery removable type? Or those sealed in type? Thanks Its a removable type but not very big capacity. Would suggest you to tap direct to car battery for overnite use. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kspchew 2nd Gear October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 Alternatively, you might want to use a portable battery pack with at least 4000mah rating, theoretically it will last 8hrs on constant recording but if its set to motion detection mode, it might last more than 8hr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vt04boys Neutral Newbie October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 Hi, anyone using the DV668FHD from Speed Ong? I'm undecided between the DV808 and DV668. Any comment in terms of video quality (day & night), ease of use, etc is much appreciated!! Thanks. DV668 is same as DSX1080SP. See comments on the latter.

Sparetyre Neutral Newbie October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 DV668 is same as DSX1080SP. See comments on the latter. Bro, thanks! I saw your review too. BTW, are you still having the playback sometime fast, sometime slow, even at contant driving speed? Is this a recorder issue? Or got to do with the microSD card or codec used? thanks.

Shochong Clutched October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 (edited) Xaiver, there's one observation I found. I left the cam on motion detection mode at 12am last nite. The cam's own battery was full when I left it. Later I went back to the car at 1am to get some stuff...and found the cam switch-off as the removable battery was flat. Between 12-1am, about 10-15mins of recordings were made as the motion detector did its work. However I tot the battery could last up to 2 hours + (at least as stated in the specs?) In this case only last an hour. Hmmm noted, guess i oversee this cos i either tap it to my car battery or used a portable 16000 mah charger which lasted me ard 2 days. But if u wan to do overnite survelliance, i will still suggest tapping to car batt haha save the trouble:) Edited October 10, 2011 by Shochong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged October 10, 2011 Share October 10, 2011 Hi TVT,I read your review on the non-constant playback speed (sometime fast & sometime slow though the drive is at constant speed). Is this referring to the DSX1080SP? Is the problem still there?Plus the battery life you mentioned in the other post, are there any other issues?Will you recommend this model?Thanks a million in advance!! Yes, the sometimes fast/slow playback still exists. I'm referring to the DSX1080SP. But Xavier (the seller) said the problem is due to the media player. I have yet to test if what he said is true or not. I don't have other issues on this cam besides the playback and short battery life. I mean, not yet untill I discover new issues, which are likely to be minor issues... Will I recommend this model? Its hard to say as I don't really know what your needs are. My criteria are budget, clear pictures, no lag in file change, responsive motion detector at a reasonable distance. So far this cam has met all my basic requirements. U may wanna take note this cam is square box type. Some bros may not like it. Many bros prefer the long slim tube "Blackview" cam, which is sleek in design and easily hidden behind the rear view mirror. This DSX1080SP can't be fully hidden there due to its size. One thing I know about these cams are: there's no perfect cam! Every cam has its pros & cons, be it cheap or expensive make. If one goes on comparing and searching, there is no end.

What is there's a mul-function and the car battery accidently been drained dry? My only option is to either buy a bigger capacity removable battery, or used a portable charger.

Ya i totally agree with u on " Every cam has its pros & cons, be it cheap or expensive make. If one goes on comparing and searching, there is no end." As for the fast playback issue, maybe u should really try out on kmplayer. hmm but one thing to note , fast playback also means the timer jump faster so it doesnt really mean u r driving fast as commented by the other bro earlier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't bother me much as the image is still clear. If an accident occur, it still captures the scene well (whether slow or fast motion), and that is the most important thing. Oh ya...the timer seems slow too, when the playback is slow. Good thing u remind me that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do drive everyday (on weekdays) but for very short distances only. Maybe 3km or less the most a day, to send/fetch my kids to/back from nearby school, total time usage is probably less then an hour a day. Then after the car is parked till the next day morning. Is that good enough to recharge the car battery after a nite's run on the cam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still recording and 1 good point is if you see your power drops below 11.8 frequently. That also tells you your battery life might be up soon and needs replacing?
