Blackbox DVR/Dashcam

[makinao]

First time car buyer her and was thinking of getting the Transcend DP220 as I read mostly good reviews about it. I guess what I wanted to know is if it's advisable to have it hard-wired into the car? What are the pros and cons? Your inputs will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It depends on the brand. When I bought my Vios in 2012, I asked if changing the horn would be OK. My agent said it would void my warranty. So I just had the casa do it even if it was more expensive. Hard-wiring a dash cam would involve cutting wires, which would be a similar case. Ask your dealer before proceeding.

Thanks, *makinao! Better ask the SA first then.

Another question:

G1w-CB (capacitor, Php2,500) or Yi Dash Camera (battery, around Php3,000)

Yi has a better review but G1W also has good feedbacks.
Yi supposedly has focus problems under hot environment.

G1W CB is still a good buy today. The Yi has superior video quality though. Just remove the the cam when necessary.

I moved my DP220 to my new car, and I just wanted something cheap to use on my old car before it gets sold. So I ended up with a CDR-King "Black" dash cam (CAM-BL-RE001-ZHI) for 1,580.00 today. Youtube videos look tolerable, and the user manual has lots of errors. So I'm not expecting much when I take it out for the first time today. At least I get a 6-month warranty, which is more than the other models in the same price range I saw in the mall.

This I can say, the chipset of that CDRking is super old. I would never recommend as dashcam below 2.5-3k. You will eventually replace it because it broke or because of it's horrible quality.

I agree. I wouldn't recommend it to loved ones and friends. But as I said, I just needed something cheap that I wouldn't mind bundling with the car when I sell it. I used it yesterday and its tolerable at daytime. I've seen worse for the same price.

Last question if you don't mind. Is the G1W CB's videos quality decent enough especially at night? I'm not making HD movies. I just need clarity of plates or faces especially at night.
