Don’t pay X1000 nowadays, it’s a very old dashcam and still using STARVIS1 sensor - and arguably expensive for what it is. For $800 go…

Why does turning bluetooth/wifi off matter? Genuinely curious. Althought it should turn off when in parking mode or car off.

Someone has tried this on their BYD, search "BYD Seal Quad Dashcams" in youtube - not sure how well it works though!

As a dashcam installer, I wouldn’t say it’s particularly complicated, but it does take time to do it properly if you’ve never done it…

DDPAI offers remote access through its 4G adapter, which can be handy for viewing footage or alerts remotely. Viofo has motion and impact…

What model are they sending you as replacement?

I wouldn't even consider mid-tier - it's 1080p.

Not the same, that is Dash Cam Owners Australia

I'd go for the DDPAI, if you had to choose one. Otherwise, spend a little more for Viofo.

I read it as, it only overheats when he’s using parking mode - meaning the car is parked and therefore using parking features. So if he…

I’m not disagreeing about you having the issue or your reason for overheating, all I’m saying is context is important - the A329…

I’ve had the A229 Pro almost 1.5years now, never had an overheating message, but did get a sd card slow message 2-3 times on one of the…

It’s not that bad, and it depends on sd card, temps of where you live and how you use the car - if it does unfortunately overheat (and…

Pro or Plus?

Doesn't the BYDs do this from factory? i.e topping up the 12V when it reaches a certain level - as per the manual. What is the app for?

I wouldn’t even bother with this, and if you really really want this, it’s $50 (generic) from Aliexpress.

To answer your question, it depends what EV you have (and in a petrol car it doesn’t matter). But, I hope people stop blaming dashcams…

I’m not aware - are these posts specifically related to dashcams? Some Hyundai Hybrid’s use lithium-ion, a hardwired dashcam that is…

I’m not saying the batteries are the issue either, as you said they’re new. The suggested test was moreso to just confirm/eliminate the…

What car do you have?

You sound like you know what you’re doing in terms of the hardwiring part. You’d have to be extremely unlucky to have three faulty…

$600 is quite an expensive quote. What car do you have?

Nothing particular about a hybrid car makes it different, esp in terms of hardwiring - so any dashcam setup will work.

If you’re confident with DIY, it’s not too hard. Look for tutorials specifically for your car to remove trim panels leading towards the…

A dashcam that is hardwired correctly will not flatten your car battery (unless the car is not driven often).

What EV do you have?

Most likely an install issue (unless you rarely drive the cars), personally run and installed hundreds of Viofo hardwired, that has not…

Not necessarily designed for that. By the time you enable dashcams wifi (manual button), then connect to it, you’d wish you had just…

As a dashcam installer, my advice would be to skip the dashcam if you're prioritising filming/picture quality especially at <$150 - as…

A 2ch Viofo shouldn’t be able to run for more than 10-12hrs in parking mode that’s hardwired to standard car battery, even an external…
