I put it on big screen, but there is no way I can read licence plates.
Can you freeze the frame and zoom in?

Not a bad price but operating temp what exactly does that mean. If it's under 68 F will it not function? I have a dash cam currently and even in extreme cold when I start up the vehicle it will still work. Obviously if it's 5 F outside on start up the inside of the vehicle will be just as cold. Just curious..Thank You

to be honest 32GB is too small for a FULL HD dash cam

You only really need about a minute or two of footage at max, which would then overwrite as it goes... unless you're recording laps at the track. For the purpose of safety, 32GB is probably overkill and should yield about 1-1.5 hours in full HD. That's enough time for a few days' worth of commute footage for some people.

I used a 32GB card on my helmet cam on my bike, but since the camera I was using (GoPro Hero 2) saves files to flash memory before writing to disk, if you're in an accident where the camera gets smashed like I was, you lose the most important footage it ever caught! Only needed that last 30 seconds of footage to show the lady running me over, but no dice.

Sure seems like my windshield compartment is a lot bigger than that little thing. This fits a w212?

with a smaller card it means each block in the memory chip will get rewrite twice more often ,
and since each memory block only has a number of write cycle, your 32GB card would develop problem much much sooner than a 64GB one,
problem like unplayable video clip WHEN YOU NEED THEM.

just my 2 cents from a guy who been using dash cam since 2009

I find this pretty expensive for a dashcam.

it's only of interest if you REALLY want to have it integrated.

Sorry to say, but image Quality not fantastic. even road signs are not very clear (at HD 1080p on youtube)

Does it have gps and parkmode? and any other functions like manual recording?

Correct operating temperatures are -4~176F (cabin temperature). Will update original post.

Am I blind or we really can't read the license plate?
I'm on "dell p2214h" monitor, 1080p; and the video is at 1080p too.

Probably, if this camera is 60fps or more, it might help the Clarity/HD'ness?

You won't be able to recognize license plates while driving. Resolution and frame rate aren't enough.
However, if you get into accident and vehicles are stopped, then you should be able to recognize the license plate.

I am with other members. This seems like a decent execution of vehicle integration, and I'd be interested if the following things are improved:
1. Need to be 60fps and/or improved "Full HD" image quality
2. Need to support 64GB card and come with at least 16GB-32GB card
3. Need 2 year warranty (like MB parts come with)
4. Price is a little steep for a dashcam
5. DEFINITELY NEED Android support, instead of just iOS
6. Since it has wifi and app integration, can the camera be remotely controled, or set to record motion only vs. continuous recording? Does it have gps locator? (i.e. if there is an accident will the cam be able to report the exact coordinates?)

Price may be high for some and not so high for others.
"Addressing issues" and "developing a new product" are quite different.
I'd like to keep discussions related to the products we have now here on the forum.
For all other questions or suggestions, I'd be happy to discuss with any of the members offline.

Aerowerkz recording from our 360 camera...Anyone else doing this..

For your factory 360 surround view system, we are currently working on a box that will be able to record video from all 4 cameras.
I will let you know once the product is available.

Regards,
