For the past few years I have been watching your videos reviews and have just now purchased this cam which is my 3rd dash cam so far. (I'll give one of my older ones to my mother because I like how small this one is) I got this one mostly because you your reviews. I have also purchased 2 turntables and started collecting vinyl records because of your influence as well. I'm not trying to sound like I am complaining about what your influence has done to my spending habits but you definitely do have good taste in todays tech and gadgetry. I'm also a patreon that hope you keep it up for a very long time! Thanks!

The one thing missing (in fact in most of everyone's reviews, not only here) is the camera's ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Living in Israel, I "cause" the camera to be subjected to rather extreme temperatures in the summer. I have not measured it, but I suspect that >70 degrees celsius is not impossible. Now, the simplest test is "does it have a capacitor or a lithium battery" but that is not enough. The question is how the camera body handles the extreme heat - does it degrade and, if so, how gracefully. Many thanks M

Just received my Vantrue N1 from Amazon. No problem using the discount code. Only real issue so far on my 2016 Mazda3 the mini usb cable is about 3 ft to short to hide properly, also the 12 volt plug on the Mazda is always on. I checked out the usb ports on the Mazda and they do shut down when the ignition is off so I have ordered a 15 ft usb to mini usb cable which should be long enough to hide. Great videos always enjoy seeing the old audio equipment.

Been using this dashcam since ordering it on your recommendation. I can report the camera works great, and has held up to accidentally being left in the sun during 65+°C car interior conditions (I live in a desert). The suction cup, on the other hand, will sometimes give way in such heat. The reassuring mass of the camera becomes a detriment when gravity is pulling it down with the dock in tow. The dock pivot joint has also become loose so I sometimes need to adjust the camera and video now has a permanent Dutch angle applied due to the asymmetrical nature of the mounting.

Looks like a cool little dash cam. I like the sound quality so indicators and lights being turned on can be heard (in an accident claim that could be a huge thing.) I wish all dash cam companies would start shipping polarized lenses though. I recently had the high end F750 installed in my vehicle, and well that has lots of issues with glare.

The only thing I was unhappy with was the mount, but luckily I found a solution. Not only did the mount loosen up considerably in the slightest heat, causing it to swivel freely in traffic and making the whole thing useless, I also hated how I had to realign the cam every time I took it out and put it back into the car. Especially with the small screen. I eventually fixed both problems by simply applying a generous amount of black Sugru around the joint, then aligning the camera within Sugru's 30min setting window (using a small TV attached via HDMI for precision), and leaving it to cure overnight. I can now take the camera in and out any time I want, and it always stays perfectly aligned without any extra action or hassle on my part. Also, I was actually able to remove the fully cured Sugru from the mount using a sharp knife, which I had to do because my first alignment attempt went wrong (which is exactly why I later used the TV 8) ). Be aware however that removal was not residue free. Given that I reapplied Sugru shortly after, and that the mounts are very cheap, I did not care.

I just picked up a dash cam from the home shopping network. It was a Polaroid 55 it has tons of decent little features I've only used it a few minutes during the day late so not sure on night shooting. But if you have it in your car and have the motion sensor on if somebody back into your car or it's it in any way it automatically turns the camera on and start recording, it also has a GPS and so as you're driving along not only is it recording to an SD card but it's also recording in tracking on the SD card so you can see where the vehicle has been. I did a short video and will be following up was I set it up and get used to it.

Nice dash cam, although I went with the A119. Here is an updated since this video was done May 2016: This dash cam can be had for $60 on NewEgg with free $5 gift card and free shipping, limit 2 per customer. Sale ends Saturday 1/28/17. This price is less than half of what Amazon is now asking ($135.00), Just updating in case someone may be interested, since your older post shows $100 on one link you provided. The other link you provided is for a used dash cam, which I would never consider, presently $54.

I do quite like this. Small cameras are so much more practical as a dash camera, the less targets people can see from outside of your car the better. I'm very tempted to change my mind and make these the cameras I use for my rear and side cameras on my wagon. Excellent that it has parking mode too, it's an option on quite a lot of cams but some will not work, no matter how it's set up. Good to see a Chinese camera with a nice clean simple menus, as well. Top review again, TM. I'll be sure to say you sent me, should I buy them.

Thanks. Have been in the market for a dashcam for some time. Waiting on the lyfelens to drop, but that's looking more and more like vaporware, and even with the preorder discount, it's $250. But I need something as I drive for Lyft. Ordered a hardware kit with this, as I want to keep it powered all the time, my main 12v outlet already has a triple tap on it. Also got an inline fuse tap so I don't have to go splicing wires (you insert the positive wire into the tap, then plug it into the fuse panel, then you have 2 fuses on that, one for the original circuit, and another for the new one). Now all I need is a backup cam, and I'll be sound as a pound.

Well, i ended buying one of these ( some results on my own channel ) BUT i do have four 'gripes' with it. The first being the stupid back to front removal of the camera from it's suction mount - it's far too close to the glass to enable easy removal, would have been far better to pull it towards you to release it , which leads me to gripe number two ! The only easy way to remove the camera is by removing the suction mount entirely - and this mount being plastic sheds a little cover on top of it every time i have do this ( don't think the suction cup or mount will take repeated action of placing/removal for too long a period before it fails completely ) Gripe three: The camera itself gets far too hot in operation of extended periods to do it much good - i am not expecting a very long or reliable life from it because of this fact alone. Finally, i almost forgot to mention the video flaring from driving in sunlight if the camera 'see's' the sun - there is a horrible red dot which is the result of the semi wide angle lens which introduces lens flare ( pity there isn't a hood for it ! ) Those gripes aside: the camera produces a good video ( although i have noticed some colour casting in shadow/bright light. The video is clear and useful as is the sound reproduction, so all in all, not bad at this juncture.

Something I'd like with a small dashcam would be an adhesive mounting bracket. I'm not the kind of person who takes the dashcam with me and mounts the dashcam every time I go driving. I want a dashcam that I can leave in the car and forget about it, and be small so it isn't very visible when the car is parked, and it defeats the purpose of having a small dashcam when the mounting hardware is at the size of Mt. Everest. Another reason I don't like suction mounts particularly well is because they have a tendency to fall down, which triggers the alarm in my car. I would like to see more dashcams with an adhesive mounting system, and if you're reading this and you plan on sending a wishlist to any dashcam manufacture, it would be great if you could include this. Thank you

I already have the 'Scarla 9x' Bluetooth audio setup for my sat nav and phone so I'm looking for something low profile on my helmet. I don't want a Go-Pro so in your opinion which one should I get. If it helps I have a budget of £250 maybe more if it's worth it.

Nice review, as always. I have a related question. Since I installed a dashcam, I find that when powered up it interferes with my radio signal. I assume this is due to a badly insulated power cable, which loops around inside the vehicle. Any ideas on how to prevent this interference? Could I insulate the cable somehow, or how do I pick a well insulated power cable to buy?
@Techmoan
@Techmoan 8 жыл бұрын
+alias foxfire Often this is down to a cheap unshielded 12V power cable. If you camera works off batteries - unplug the power cable from your 12V socket and then see if you still get interference - I suspect you wont. Then buy a good quality 12V to USB power adaptor and a good quality USB cable to plug into it. Then throw away the nasty cheap cable that came with your camera. I almost always immediately throw any power cable that's included in the box - they are usually very poor quality and sometimes actually dangerous.

Techmoan. Have you ever thought of a kick starter campaign for a design of a "perfect" Dashcam?. I used perfect advisedly of course, but a camera with all the things you and your viewers would like in a camera. I dont know how much it might cost, but the case could be 3d printed, and perhaps the guts and interfaces could be off shelf. Im not sure if there is any open source dash cam software which could be the on screen interface. Im suprised no one else has done it.

+Video Master I'd prefer to leave that amount of hassle to other people. I wouldn't have a clue what to do and it would go horribly financially wrong.

Did you update the firmware using a PC or Mac? I have a Mac and cannot save the new firmware onto SD card. Any advice would be much appreciated, I exchanged emails with Joe at VanTrue and he wasn't much help with providing instructions, he said to try the update on a PC but unfortunately I do not have a PC.

Having received my first dashcam, I took it out, got it to format the SD card so I could install the firmware update and, unfortunately, I can't get the SD card to pop out, it's locked in place no matter which way i press it! It's a sad day... :(

After watching many dashcam reviews on your channel, I finally got one! This one, from Amazon with the promo ... I am doing more work-related driving these days, and a dashcam is a good investment at this point. Thank you for the work you do.

please i need your help I've searched before asking what do you recommend for high temperature weather like: 70C° to 80C° max 160F° to 175F° because the sun hits the cam directly BTW I'm from Saudi Arabia :)

+al67lop in hot climates it's advisable to use a camera with a capacitor rather than a battery as batteries can swell up if they get very hot. I keep my list of recommended cameras here. www.techmoan.com/guide-to-dashcams/

Its a "dash cam war" between Mr. Techmoan & Mr. Iftibashir. And in the US they are no big deal. I guess old, bad roads and too many cars in "Europe" makes them hot items. Can't wait for the next potato peeler, fryer, omlet, hot dawg, ice cream counter top maker.

They only appear near a traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing. They mean you are not allowed to park on them.

Sort of but not quite. There are separate parking restrictions, but the zig zag is like a blanket "no parking at any time" restriction.

I do love your reviews. Have you considered reviewing dash cam app for android/iPhone systems? Since some can use some solid cameras and upload to Facebook/KZbin during a crash instance automatically. In the US the cops are rather bad about just taking whatever they want and they decide if they want to give it back so this app protects the person from corrupt cops we have....trust me, I've seen a lot of bad cops here and films a number of them.
