Looks like a decent piece of gear. I've still got the Pelsee thing you kindly sent waiting for me to, one of these years, get the Land Rover on the road.
I bought a Viofo A129Pro with the 4k front camera and 2k rear (didn’t bother with the internal camera, but they are good for taxi drivers). They seem to have very good quality image, especially the night functions. I got the same hard wiring kit so that it can run while parked (it cuts out if the battery runs too low to protect starting).
Got a Viofo in my Ninety, A hard wire kit is very useful. So mine is always connected but turns on when the car is running. When not running it goes into parking mode with a voltage cut off, or a timer, which ever happens first. Image quality is great.
The Bluetooth button thing and warning triangle button on the camera are to lock the recording so it doesn’t get overwritten as the recording loops back around
The thing is that 95% of image quality comes from the imaging chipset used in the device with 5% coming from the software defaults / tweaks. Basically, while there are a thousand dashcam brands, they all use chipsets made by only a couple of manufacturers. What that means is that it’s safe to ignore brandnames and their marketing bullshit, and to instead jump to the fine print to see which chipset the dashcam is using. In turn, those chipset manufacturers only have a couple of chipsets - the current generation and their prior generation. Skip the dashcams using older chipsets, and focus on the cheapest dashcams with the newest chipset. Then it’s a toss up based on accessories in the box.

Hope you enjoy it!
@BritannicaRestorations Thanks again Mike.

Good tip!

Thanks for sharing
Are you really a Google Bot? as everything I look at online, or the Defender, a few days later you are doing a video! haha
Not really! Just wish views got a bigger income from RUclips - wonder why I bother some days...
@@BritannicaRestorations Keep it up! love the channel! We all do!

You done it wrong, the lense is meant to see true the plastic sticky thing then it won't fog up. 😂
Yep complete fail 😂.

Yup, it's all about the chipset!
