Top end hardware, if it launch like the old / little SJdash then ( me making baseball hit bat sound and commentator " its out of here" ) Still not super stoked on the form factor, but for other people it is a plus, only big minus are you cant use suction cup on the dotted area on top of windscreen, but as you can quick take off camera it compensate for not being able to make super stealthy install. On the footage side of things there was little to say about the first sjdash, i hope this will be the same.
I have also bought these and he worked very well but after a month he was already broken and do not know what's on (see video) can someone tell me how this is coming Please ? Danny
Do the recordings also look like that, not that you should accept the LCD freaking out like that. I have never seen a dash or action camera screen do that before.
yes the recorded image is indeed the same and this is suddenly happening while I was driving, I do not understand either, I even tried a new sd card but it does not change anything Danny
Yeah i dont think its the memory card, looks like something hardware have gone wrong in a bad way, time for a replacement i would say
I bought this one on bangood and let them know that he did not work after barely a month the only thing they said to me was that I had to go to a store where I live but sjcam does not exist in Belgium regrettably enough, I had hoped they would send me a new one because I still have a guarantee but no, bangood is now a thing of the past Danny
Yes Bangood and the likes are hard places to deal with, basically you can not send anything back to them, or you can but its expensive, and when its the other way the Chinese dont get free postage. So yes i still buy stuff there, but only modest priced stuff i can just throw over the shoulder if it go wrong, stuff like cameras - phones and what not i would never get from out there, i wish i could but the way customer care are handled it make it hard to justify. I am not sure if you could go to any other EU store, it would be great is SJcams was able to handle it that way, but i am not sure what they have in place in the EU or if it can be done or its just some BS bangood say, they do try to get your off their back with store credit and what not, anything really and that's just sad. When it come to dashcams and customer care and relations no one beat Street guardian, but that and paired with their higher end cameras do cost a little. Niko up in Ireland are certified SG retailer, he will be all over ( in the best of ways ) a problem with a product he sell. https://www.hiniko.com/
I hope they release a dashcam with an optional rear cameras as well like those anytek cameras that come with rear cams. Also parking mode is a good feature to add too.
There are already several dual channel dashcams out there, and more will come for sure. But parking guard are still problematic but people are working on it, the biggest problem for parking are light cuz you can not film what you ot the camera cant see.
Interesting , I wanted to buy a car camera but I was not sure what to choose, on local market are top TrueCam. I have SJCAM SJ5000X Elite and I use mainly for motorcycle riding and for car when I want to capture some nice road/track, so I dont using it at black box.
Yes, the SJ5000x has a dashcam mode. If you wanted a dedicated Dashcam, i think the SJDASH price has been reduced to 70usd and the SJDASH+ is a great option as well
Yes these are action cameras and while some can be used in a car it is not something i would go for myself. As Tony say the SJdash+ are a dedicated dashcam and it have a sensor much netter for the job than any action camera.
