In car vehicle recorder

[Jovially]

Yeah been there done that, mine devirginised and loose alrdy

 

I leave the holder in the car, when removing the cam, i don't just pull up from the holder, there is the clip on the left and right side, just a slight pull, the cam will be ready to remove.

Bro,

how do i view the video?

my 2 sets of computer (OS Vista and XP) cant detect it.

 

Must I take out the SD card or can i plug and play into the computer (together with the camera) without taking out the SD card?

Im using 16GB sandisk ultra

Thanks.

just connect the camera to your computer, remember to choose 'MSC' by pressing 'ok' key on your camera, then your computer should detect it.

thanks bro,

later i go and try. camera now in car.

[Mcf777]

just tip the stick to the 'right' (manual says left but upside down liao so it's right for me) :)

 

thanks for the tips. (I didnt read the manual)

Previously, I had covered the LCD with a piece of paper becos of the LCD reflection on the windscreen

LCD reflection on windscreen? Hmm.. LCD is facing away from windscreen right? The lens should be facing the windscreen so should have no reflection from LCD... ?

 

Or... did you mount yours as a rearview as well? Thus the LCD reflection on windscreen.

Hmmm, i also dun quite understand the part on the reflection too, even if it is for the rear view,the reflection wont haf much a part also rite?

 

I haf cfm my cam must be manually off everytime i off my engine,dunno why also,haf try for 2 days liao,but for every 15min,it will saves a file and re-record a new one :)

i mounted (standard mount) my camera on the dashboard beside the ERP unit.

I just view the video on my pc.

 

Too many reflection on the video. some portion of the screen very clear. some portion very dark.

haha...I can even see my own camera (F500) reflection on the video.

i think i must shift the position of the camera to test again. Most likely due to the sunlight.

ya... the sunlight reflection and refraction is causing lots of problems.. lots of flaring and whiteout on the video, esp in the early morning or evening time, when the sun is low on the horizon.

 

I am thinking - if we make s small tube out of some black material and fit over the wide angle lens like a camera hood - will this help? But it would look very wierd.

[Vulcann]

One common feedback is the insufficent coverage even with the wide-angle lens. By this I mean the camera lens not being able to cover the two critical sides, left & right, of our vehicles (F500HD mounted either front or back). Any bros have any idea how to improve this through any DIY-method or if there are other compatible "wider" wide-angle lens in the market that can work with the F500HD?

[Parkingidiot]

bro...been discussed in the previous pages.. set the resolution to 1280 x 720.. There is a marked increase in coverage angle, but of course depth increases correspondingly (ie. "objects that seem further away may be nearer than you see")

i still have not got my sdhc card..sigh

I have been looking for some kind of camera which constantly records for years and finally decided to take the plunge one from Ebay for around

Please think twice before getting this model. It is definitely not reliable at all. Before buying HD720P, I've read many forumers complaining of problems with their sets. But it is the type of blackbox that I want, small, concealed and with HD. I decided to buy it as I thought I won't be so unlucky. Guess what? I'm really unlucky. It hangs twice on the 1st day of usage. The set has since been sent back to dealextreme, waiting for refund.

 

I chanced upon VagSg Forum, and a set that I've never seen before interest me. It has park mode recording.

 

 

 

Here's the review:

I have emailed the manufacturer, and the set for a sample piece is US$180 excluding shipping. Understand that they'll be launching a 2-cam model in August.

 

I am getting the idea that you are right.. Too many people are reporting problems... I tried to read that review of the VisionDrive, but I need an account.> I tried to create one, but got stumped by the question about the 'COE' (I had to Google it to find out, as being in the UK, I had no idea what they were talking about).

 

I am in now and will read the review.. Do you have a link to the manufacturer? The only place I have found it for sale is Amazon and its $350!! Way out of my price range.

For 100 pcs, the price is US$146. If we can get 20 pax for a GB, maybe can neg for a good price.

I will read the review tonight, but I had a quick scan and it looks very VERY nice.. Infact, its exactly what I was hoping to get, in as much as that it only records in the event of a shock and has a button to capture an event.

 

I have already contacted the manufacturer so will have to see what they offer..
