    Many thanks for being tech support on this when I was asleep. You'll find that it could be a full time job in itself, when the questions start repeating, so don't wear yourself out.

    Excellent vid. You spoke quickly but very clearly using a good mic and you didn't waste time on stuff that is not important. A++++ job man. You should be doing this for a living.

    It's my pleasure. I'm glad I've finally tested another decent car cam. There have been quite a few good quality cheaper cams of all shapes and sizes coming out recently.

  • @Techmoan

    I've no plans to look at any GPS devices, but I'm glad you've found the dashcam reviews useful.

    best dash cam ever! been using for 3 years and everything has been perfect!

    • @platypus0123

      does it record from behind too?or just the front?

    • @Fashionisa415
      @Fashionisa415 7 лет назад

      it records only in front so basically what is directly in front of the camera

      Nisa Farhana I mainly want this camera as a spy camera to capture a crazy psycho who keeps vandalizing my family's car in our neighborhood - that being said, will this camera run footage withOUT the car being turned on? I just need a camera that has daylight and night vision recording but at the same time I want the lens to capture 360 view without having to buy front and back cameras, without having the car be running. I hope you or someone will help me out because this psycho won't stop and each time he strikes, the car damages worsens ;(((( I hope someone can guide me which spy recording camera will work withOUT turning the car on and the lens has to be 360

      Exists model: "Carway F30 Car DVR" but builtin battery I do not know how long it will last for her internal, lithium battery, the capacity of which = 400mA. I think that for two hours is enough.
      It is best to consult a car electrician. A simple alteration in the car = 15 minutes of work. It is necessary that the voltage in the cigarette lighter car is always. Even when the key is removed.
      If you do this, you can use two or four simple and cheap micro cameras. For example model: "Mini Car DVR Camera GT300 Camcorder" or one, dual camera : "Carway F30 Car DVR"

  • @eoind2258
    @eoind2258 10 лет назад +1

    Excellent review. If only all youtube reviews were like this.
    I love the fact that you put a 30 second summary at the start of the video. This way we can quickly see if this video is what we're looking for and not waste several minutes waiting and wondering. Also, despite it being 21 minutes long, it was 21 minutes of concise information. How many times have I watched a youtube review, shouting (to myself of course) for the presenter to get a move on and then realise at the end that he (or she) spent 5 or 10 minutes telling us something that should have taken 30 seconds.
    Well done on an excellent video review.

    • @Techmoan
      @Techmoan  10 лет назад

      Thanks - I try to avoid doing things that would annoy me if I was watching them. I have very little patience...which is probably a good thing when it comes to appreciating what other people would find irritating.

    Glad you liked it. I'm happy with the battery life, because it will never leave the car. Hopefully the battery won't fail due to constant re-charging. At least the time can still be pulled from the GPS if it fails.

    Excellent review. My 801 is en-route from England. In 1980 I went surfing in the British Virgin Islands and driving on the left side of the road was like a nightmare for about 30 minutes. What side we drive on is an interesting cultural phenomenon. Thanks from Florida.

    Thank you so much for your interesting and detailed reviews.
    I have just installed one of these little chaps and am so far very pleased with the results.
    When it came to the detailed settings, I found your video review most helpful.
    Am probably going to get another one and stick it in the rear window. For a camera this good with a reasonable price tag its just got to be worth it.
    Well done fella and once again many thanks.

  • @Techmoan
    @Techmoan  10 лет назад

    I've covered this quite a bit in the video and the accompanying blog entry....but it's the size, the mounting system and the fact that the video quality is plenty good enough for what I need. I'm not shooting a movie with this...it's a small automatic security camera that hides out of the way and hopefully (like insurance) I'll never have a need to use it.

  • @VegasGuyYT
    @VegasGuyYT 10 лет назад

    Techmoan makes some of the best video reviews on RUclips. I purchased the OjoCam 0801 directly from OjoCam. It arrived 2 days ago. The new firmware records in .mov format. Another nice change is the speedometer setting can be changed to MPH for U.S. users. The included PC software can also be changed from KPH to MPH by clicking the letters KPH. It toggles back and forth. It's a nice dashcam. Take care to mount it so the horizon is level or your videos will look like the whole earth is tilted.

  • @lifehackertips
    @lifehackertips 10 лет назад

    Looks good, think I'll buy it, I like that it's tiny and can be easily hidden at the top and the lens can still be easily adjusted to face forward even if the mounting is forward because I have the same issue you do with the microdots at the top of the windshield and I don't want to put the tape on the microdots

  • @Techmoan

    I don't think anyone can answer your first question other than a UK retailer that's planning on selling these. As far as delivery times go, wait a few days and see when people report back that they have received theirs.

    @brixmis7 10 лет назад

    First, let me thank you for your outstanding reviews. I have just purchased the GS608 from Amazon. The GS680 (non GPS model) is a fantastic bit of kit. The images are superb. The camera is small and very discreet. However:
    1.The sound on my unit is defective. Which pleases me. It saves me listening to my comments about other drivers!
    2.The mount has a screw thread to adjust it. This was cross threaded. So I adjusted it, the super glued the joint.
    3. The instructions are not that clear.By accident I found out how to format the Micro SD Card. Follow the instructions to get to the playback screen then tap the power button to get the format option.
    The reason I never returned it, was I like it that much, I don't want to be without it. Every car should have one!
