I have the same dash cam. My pet peve is the same as yours as far as the mounting. I never used the silly plastic static sheet. I've experimented with many cameras too over a 5 year period. I had to have my windshield replaced so I used a heat gun on the outside of the windshield to heat up the adhesive and "twist" to remove it. Then to re-attach it I use 3M "Scotch" outdoor adhesive tape available at hardware stores. It's not the foam tape but the grey rubbery tape wrapped in red removable peel. Anyway, my major issue is the GPS. It shows I've been driving in China. I'm in Northern California. The firmware claims its up to date although the seller claims to update via the app to the latest version to correct it. So, yeah. Thanks for the video though.

I would not recommend using anything but strong adhesive like 3M. Grey with a red peel. Very strong. The reason you don't want to use velcro is because the camera will vibrate and images will be blurred. In a serious accident it will probably be thrown off the windshield. Same reason you don't want to use a magnetic strip not to mention there is a gps module that may be disrupted.

What I did was use a cigarette lighter recepticle with wires pre-attached and wired it to the fuse box. Then I just plugged the dash cam plug into it. Wrapped it a bit with electrical tape to prevent it from pulling apart. You can not just cut off the camera plug and wire it to the car because it's only 5 volts and your car is 12 volts. You'll ruin the camera.

Yes, PAL and NTSC are old analog television standards. However, it’s not a digital standard of any sort. 24 fps is still the film standard, but digital video is usually 24, 30, or 60fps. 25 is just some arbitrary attempt to save bandwidth.
