FAQ

Where do I enter the coupon code?

  • When you click "Proceed to Checkout" button, it'd say below the payment method "Have Coupon?"

It's showing me higher AUD price than mentioned in the title

  • Choose USD as your currency from top left hand corner. Don't select AUD, always choose to pay in USD, it will work out cheaper even after your credit card conversion fees. Also read the below.

How do I ensure I get the cheapest AUD price possible

  • To avoid higher currency conversion rates and to get cheapest price from these Chinese websites, you should get a credit card that charges zero currency conversion fees. 28Degrees, Bankwest Zero, Coles Mastercard are generally popular. Irrespective of what credit card you use, always choose to pay in USD on these Chinese websites, (Go back to main page, Choose "USD" from top left hand corner). Additionally set your Paypal so it "bills you in the currency on Seller's Invoice". To set your PayPal account this way permanently, follow the steps shown in these snapshots [Highly recommended]

      Odd it has more backers than perks sold. Also probably uses a battery rather than a super cap which is a pity. I’d be all over it if it otherwise.

    I purchased one on the 13th Jan and already received it on the 22th. My first experience with light in the box is very good so far, despite seeing others’ comments about the very slow shipping.
    Very impressed with the camera as well, nicely built and sleek design.

    • johnnyle on 27/01/2018 - 18:41

      I think it depends on the item you buy. I bought a few things from them. A dashcam, air mouse were delivered after 10-14 days, but other things like memory cards or smaller items are tend to arrive after 3-4 weeks. So be aware of that if you buy things from them.

    I have it, yes it is Chinese voice but the app can be find in English.

    The product is soild and well built for the price. Also it stick to windshield very well. Make sure you turn on monitoring while mounting it as the joint only allow you to adjust vertically, so you have to make sure your horitional view range is good before fully secure it.

    Good thing to note, I park my car in the sun all the time, and it withstand this whether really well,no overheating, it just keeps working. (don't use the anti-static pad, it just won't stick to my windshield)

    • gadget on 27/01/2018 - 18:24

      How long have you had it in your car?

      • Hornpub on 27/01/2018 - 23:47

        only about 2 weeks tho.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2018 - 18:56

      Hijacking your comment! I applied that clear rectangle thing to my windshield, and then applied the dashcam to it and it fell straight off. Now i have the pad stuck to the dashcam and with no spare/replacement. No idea what to do its just sitting in its box :/

      • bowdo on 27/01/2018 - 19:05

        I used it, it is no problem. Clean the surface area with a microfiber cloth, don't use sprays etc and make sure no bubbles.

          Welcome to my world……. This dashcam (purchased it in December), is yet to be installed. Previously I've owned two other dashcams, neither got installed, ended up selling them both on ebay at half the price I paid.

          Frankly I'm wondering if I really need a dashcam…….. but everytime I watch a Russian webcam compilation video on YouTube I convince myself I do!

      • liquid metal on 27/01/2018 - 21:18

        A good dashcam reminds you to format the SD card regularly. It also tells you if there were events and that it starts continuous recording. How do you know it is working and it doesn't have an issue? If you are involved in an accident and your dashcam wasn't working, you're gonna be seriously pissed off.

          How do you know it is working and it doesn't have an issue?

          It has an status light.

          I find voice prompts extremely tacky (in any language).

        • onlyletters on 27/01/2018 - 23:37

          @ash2000: It does have a status light, its on the left side easy for the passenger to see not the driver which was not thought out properly.

        • liquid metal on 28/01/2018 - 13:15

          @ash2000:

          How often do you look at it, though?

          A decent camera has a decent voice output.

          A decent camera has a decent voice output.

          Maybe, but it is my preference to have no sound, ever. I want to mount it behind the mirror, set it and forget it.

        • liquid metal on 29/01/2018 - 10:22

          @ash2000:

          Then you'll never format the SD card. It also might be broken and you don't know about it. Dashcam is never set and forget. The expensive one just make it clear to you. The cheap ones just stop working or the recordings are broken.

        • ash2000 on 29/01/2018 - 11:17

          And higher in direct sun.

          I agree, sounds a bit fraught given LiPo's typically shouldn't be stored in environments above 50c.

      It's not logical. If you use your phone browse your video, you need to connect your phone to this device's hotspot, which is not connected to the internet. If you take out the card and browse on your computer, it is just a disk storage. How does the data leak to the internet?
