This deal was popular before posted by SteveAndBelle

Resolution - 1080FHD (lower res offers longer recording time but blurry footage)
Loop Recording - 3 Minutes (each to their own but smaller files are more stable)
WDR - On (close to pointless but slightly enhances low light recording)
Exposure - +0.0 (default but feel free to experiment with this)
Motion Detection - Off (can fill up your card with locked files when switched on)
Record Audio - On (up to you but may be handy to record indicator & horn sounds etc.)
Date Stamp - On (advisable)
Gsensor - Off (can fill up your card with locked files when switched on)

Date/Time - Must change format to YY/MM/DD before setting date! Change back once set. May not stick first few times but check back and re-set after regular use.
Beep Sound - Off (can get annoying as makes sounds during bootup/shutdown)
Language - English
TV Mode - PAL (menu exits after setting this. Press ‘M’ twice to re-enter menu)
Frequency - 50 Hz
Screen Saver - 3 Minutes (best set short to avoid the distraction)
IR LED - Off (white LED on this model so this feature is pointless)
Car Plate - Use up/down arrows to scroll characters and ’M’ to progress. Press REC when finished to save data.

          yeh, they're designed to prevent your car battery from being completely drained while enabling your dash cam to continue recording once the car is no longer running and keys have been removed from the ignition, killing the dash cam when the car's battery gets to a certain power level.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2016 - 10:55

          you can use powerbanks.

          I thought about the same thing, but you'd need a camera on every window.

        • womble on 12/04/2016 - 11:14

          Not battery pack but power protection as suggested by ps3_andy. An example is powermagic pro.

      Possibly… but a thief should be able to identify the difference between a $50 cheapie like the G1W and the brands/models worth 10-20 times more. Hopefully a thief would do a quick risk-benefit analysis before breaking into a car, right?

    using with a 3m long usb-b cable to car charger.(bought both on ebay)

    it is really a nice camera!!

    if you still dont have any dashcam and have no time to look up which one is good, THIS ONE right here is a no-brainer.

    Has anyone else had battery problems since using this dashcam? My car has had a little bit of trouble starting ever since I've used it, but once I disconnected it over time it worked fine again. It's also happened to two of my friends, so we've stopped using it.

    • Vool on 12/04/2016 - 10:22

      Where did you run the power from? Unless you hooked it up to the battery directly it shouldn't be getting power when the key isn't in the ignition.

    Note that because it has a capacitor instead of a battery, the internal clock will reset itself after about 3 or 4 days. Weekend drivers take note - you'll likely have to set the date and time every weekend before taking the car out.

    • tsunamisurfer on 12/04/2016 - 10:39

      Yes….I believe so.

      I experimented with connecting a small 2200mah power bank to the unit so I can workout the menu system and apply the above settings (in the house rather than int he car).

      It worked a treat.

      I just haven't timed how long of recording does one 2200mah power bank give you in recording because in a pinch if you need recording without car power, you still can with the power bank instead of spending hundreds on a power pack.

      • smacko on 12/04/2016 - 10:52

        great thanks, was thinking the same, using the power bank to play around with it

    • womble on 12/04/2016 - 11:19

      I suggest not to use power banks. I had the initial plan to use one of these, however:
      - powerbank will eventually get to 0 charge unless you're doing long enough drives to slowly charge up the xiaomi
      - powerbanks take very long time to charge and I just can't see it keeping a charge for long enough, also, you'd then need to rig up a circuit so that the camera runs off car power whilst you're driving
      - better off buying something like powermagic pro which will keep camera running until car battery gets to certain voltage

    • Hornpub on 17/04/2016 - 01:48

      It's very long. I have the cable going from behind the rear-view mirror, to the left arching over the passenger door, down the seatbelt pillar, under the passenger floormat, and into the car charger socket with some length to spare.

    HI all,

    Bought one and love the quality of the video of easy set up.

    BUT!!!

    how do I make this to record when power is not on? it seems my capacitor does not discharge after fully charged.

    when turn main power (USB) off then the camera turn itself off within 5 second.? is it faulty?

    or am I do something more to the setting?

    thank you

    • unco on 12/04/2016 - 12:33

      This capacitor version is designed to only power it long enough to shut down properly when you turn off the car.
      It's not designed for parking mode unless you wire the camera to constant power.

      • hsct on 13/04/2016 - 10:40

        If hard-wired, any idea how long can the unit run for until the battery is completely drained out? Thanks!

        • dny on 13/04/2016 - 11:00

          That depends on a lot of factors like your battery and which circuit you decide to wire it to (Constant power vs ACC / ON power)

          There are some more advanced models of camera which have voltage detection so when it detects that your battery drops below a certain threshold it'll switch off to prevent battery drain. I think you may even be able to find an external relay that does this that you could wire in before the stepdown transformer.

          I plan to wire this to my cigarette lighter circuit so that it will only switch on when my car is on.

        • SteveAndBelle on 13/04/2016 - 12:08

          The G1Ws consume approx. 500mA during normal operation but best to err on the side of caution and add 20% so lets say 700mA. There are many different types of car battery and of course you wouldn't want to drain one past the point of not being able to start your car however just as a very rough guide, a standard car battery would have something in the vicinity of around 30,000-60,000mAh capacity therefore you should be able to run one of these cameras for a good couple/few days non-stop and without running your car at all… maybe even up to a week if your battery is in very good condition and is a larger variety.

          Note that a car battery is measured in CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) because that's the most important measurement for its application. Of course they can be used for other purposes but they're only really designed for 1. starting a car and 2. running auxillary circuits for short periods when the engine is off. They are not specifically designed for powering devices over extended periods. To avoid a flat battery due to wanting to run auxillary items without the engine running you should look at a dual-battery system where no matter how much power you use you'll still have a fully charged battery dedicated to starting your engine. People are using Power Banks to DIY a cheap version of this so maybe you could do the same. Power Bank charges while you're driving around and then keeps powering the Dashcam for several hours or a day (depending on the capacity on the Power Bank of course) then recharges again as soon as you start the engine the next time. If this sounds like a good idea you should be looking for a Power Bank no smaller than 20,000mAh as that equates to approx. 24 hours of juice for the Dashcam.

I don't want to pay ridiculous amount of money for the same stuff. Item not getting delivered is likely to happen when using regular post without proper tracking.

    • Using a 32gb Samsung EVO MicroSD card I get ~9 hours at the above resolution
    • At full resolution (1080p) I get 4-5 hours of recording

    • I use a 5000mAh Xiaomi Battery pack for when I'm parked, when parked for ~3 hours, it uses about half the battery pack.
      (Yep the dashcam has to be hard-wired but the charger adaptor given is well above 1m, so plenty of cable without extra cost)

    • The mount is really good as well, and suits any type of glass cos it has a little snap/lock handle that secures it.
