DashCams — What Improvements Would YOU Like to See?

#21

I know this will not apply to everyone here. I been using my phone to record time-lapse on the road for content. Maybe 120fps?I wonder if this is something you have consider? Its not something you always want to be recording, but having the option to turn off and on will be nice. The fact that you are not in the market for this option does not mean you can’t jump in :wink:

  • battery better suited for extreme heat/cold

  • more tactile buttons (specifically for emergency)

  • ability to archive files to home(computer)

I love the compact design of the S1, and you guys are using good quality parts and have a strong interface, but the battery is the Achilles heel unfortunately, only because of the fact that it doesnt hold up well to the environment. The parking mode is a fantastic feature to have which needs the battery. If you guys could improve the quality of the battery system, this thing would blow alot of the more expensive models out of the water for a single channel system.

I just thought that the memory card in my C1 pro has died or something, as newest file on the card was 10 days old. Could not watch any videos on my phone (i got connection, but then it crashed and could not see the camera anymore), so i got the card out and tried with computer. Newest timestamp said 22.2.2019 and i was just trying to see a clip from this morning (4.3.2019). I found the video i wanted, it just showed that 10 days old timestamp instead of today.

So +1 for gps as time source, its just stupid not to use it when it is available. Many products have gps-chips only for time, so what have the coders been thinking when something else could replace reality?

I would like the ability to link 2 or more cameras together to use a front and rear dash cams. I also Autocross and having the ability to link and side by side play multiple cameras would be awesome for reviewing my runs and serve double duty for daily dash cam duties.

The main thing preventing me from buying one is the lack of a smaller lower profile version without a screen. I currently have a Mobius cam attached to the underside of my rear-view mirror’s bracket with Sugru and magnets. This works well as I can generally leave it in place as it is quite discrete and not easily noticeable from outside, plus due to the magnets I can easily remove it if I’m parked up in a dodgier area.

Other features that would be nice to see too include:

  • Built-in Google Assistant (like the Bolt)
  • Powered by a super-capacitor rather than battery to negate battery issues with permanently connected devices
  • Parking mode
  • Car battery condition monitoring to prevent the above resulting in a dead battery
  • GPS data from attached phone if not included in main unit
  • Crash detection and upload of data and recent footage via phone if connected still

A option where the camera could send a push notification to my phone if the bump sensor has been triggered while I’m away from the car would be terrific!
