For your day video, your cam is tilted lower and exposing more black at the bottom. The cam will try to balance up the EV for this thus the brighter areas become more wash out. Dynamic range of cams are limited. Try to expose more outside area and see if theres improvements
Thks bro for the tip. Shall try it out and monitor, cheers!
thks for the clarifications!
Overall, I'm still a satisfied user of Itronics. Now that I know the parameters, will just work around it if I know the lights conditions are challenging. Initially thought if there's some finetuning adjustments that can be made to solve these little niggling issues, then it will further enhance the experience. But nevertheless, its no big deal and I can live with it.
Like the saying goes, "change yourself to suit the environment" and not vice versa. Every car cam will have their pro & cons, just enjoy the pros and work around the cons shall do the job
Having an image captured is better than no image at all and lastly, it does not overheat! Great!
Have a good day ahead, cheers!
I share the same concerns with you about the lack of indicators too. How I work around it is to switch on the shock sensor alarm. It will sound off 2 short beeps when it sense sufficent shock and will record the video as an Event. As the 100HD is quite sensitive, I'm sure it will sound off during the course of your journey. This, at least to the paranoid me, will indicate that it is running properly. The sound are not too loud and can be easily masked if you turn up the volume of your cdplayer.
Hope it helps!
Finevu do actually have a manual video record function which the file will be store inside camcorder folder & photo file will store inside photo folder. The files will remain there until I fully use up the default 10% allocation of the card space.
My file dated April 2012 which I happen to press the button to trigger manual record.
May I know how many days you have tested on the heat stress?
I have the car cam for 2 weeks but approx 1 week in jur island which is the worst case scenario.
So can I safely says is 1 week for heat stress?
Of cos some days gloomy and some days sunny.
Most importantly is that day is really very hot and happen that I use the meter to test the temp inside the car.
If is my previous BlackVue by 12 plus already knock out.
Thks
That is manual recording function as a camcorder, not emergency recording :)Happen to find out this when i preparing my microsd card to the installation of the latest finevu firmware. I have read the discussion of the ireland guy & the fellow forumers.

bro give me your email in pm i will send u :)I have upgraded to Korean 1.00.027, the video seems to be sharper. Will try to do a night drive to check out.... The only issue I have with the CR-300HD is the bad night recording.
Btw, where did you get your English version 1.00.127? I got it from Bro Xavier is only 1.00.118

emergency record is auto one. If not, its not emergency liao. I only use manual recording if I c those big bike with sexy assjacked pillion ride in front of me. LOL, u know driving can be boring, these can really wake me up.

It is emergency recording :
Sorry let me rephrase.It is emergency recording :
What i meant was it will not lock the file, it will still be saved as a event file.
Deletion of event file is again managed by the % allocated for event recording.
Not like what cormie suggested that it will lock the file based on button pressed.

Yup, no file locking.
thats y i been trying to emphasie to cormie that he should set more % for event recording instead of asking them to do file locking buttonYup, no file locking.
File locking will also means the file will not be deleted by the system, stacking of such files will waste disk space.
Thats y file locking button has been considered obsolete already.

How to charge? Got A/c house plug to charge?
You can get a cheapo charger or for alittle more get a CTEK charger.
For this size, should be ard the S$23-S$36 range lah. Where got S$50???
I got one in my car for my weekend non-stop recording.
Bro. Yuasa is really more expensive. Around $50 for 7ah.
I prefer cheapo brand like Neuton or RS etc....
Bro. Yuasa is really more expensive. Around $50 for 7ah.

Is it??? If I can recall, the basement battery shop quoted me $36 for the Yuasa one. I get from my usual shop, Firstpower, S$26, I ask for discount, she gave me S$25.
Another shop near the escalator one, level 3, Kaichin is the cheapest at $23 for 7.2ah. I ask most shops at basement, level 1 and level 3. Comparing prices.
Me cheapo. 
I still think file lock would be a definite "pro" for the ITB-100HD. Running out of space was never an issue, even with 2GB card (VGA quality so maybe 6 hours) and low sensitivity with my DRS1100. The event file was always there, even months after it happened and still plenty more space for other recording. Even if there was a "lock events over X level of shock" :)
Also, with parking only at 20%, I hope I don't have an important event occur on a busy street with high motion. I have it set to record motion and shock in parking so if a car crashes into me, it will record this shock only as Parking as far as I'm aware? So then if there's a lot of motion and vehicle is parked for a long time, then it will be recorded over with people walking by the car innocently? Maybe I should just switch parking to shock, but it's great to have the motion detection for quiet places!

i also cheapo. for the cigarette lighter socket, i paid $1.20 for mine . bought from Starlight(or something like that, its the shop next to Kaichin) Kaichin wanted $2 and Space electronics $1.60. prices really varies quite a bit. it jsut takes some leg work and i saved $0.80... hahaha
Hi will recommend u to set 40% for event, 40% for parking, 20% for normal driving :)At the moment I have event allocated 60%, parking 20% and Normal 20%, hopefully with low sensitivity and 60% of a 32GB card, I won't have another situation where important event is recorded over :)

Does anyone know, if a segment is marked as emergency, does it simply save that 1 minute long segment as an emergency after the minute has been recorded. So for example, with each segment being 1 minute, if the next segment starts at 0:01 and you just happen to get impact of a collision at the 0:01 point, will it only save the next 59 seconds as an emergency event and not the last 30 seconds or so (leading up to the impact), meaning it may only keep the moment of collision but not the evidence leading up to how it happened? I'm used to the emergency saving 15 seconds before and after the event so not sure how it works on the ITB-100HD?
Edited by Cormie, 20 June 2012 - 05:09 PM.
good idea bro! but the size look like around a car battery?
even 1/2 size also quite big... how u guys put in the car.. front passenger side ah?
i'll check it out sim lim this weekend
12V, 7AH SLA battery is about 6.5 depth x 9.5 ht x 15 length in cm.
This kind of battery can be installed in any position, unlike car battery which may spill acid.

Got time to hunt around and save $0.80 ok.
But watch out for the coupon parking. If that attendant come while you're saving $0.80, you could be hit with a $30 fine.

Is anyone able to provide information on what's new/change in the FineVu CR-300HD's new firmware version 1.00.027 (Korean) and version 1.00.127 (English)?
Anyone using the new FW for Finevu? Any reviews?
Might even go 10% for normal, 50 for event and 40 for parking :P

I'm used to the emergency saving 15 seconds before and after the event so not sure how it works on the ITB-100HD?
If the event occurs within 5 seconds of the new recording (ie. before 00:05), the previous recording will also be marked as an Event file. This allows pre-event situation to be saved as Event file.
If the event occurs within 5 seconds before the current recording ends (ie. after 00:55), the next recording will be also be marked as an Event file. This allows the post-event situation to be saved as Event file as well.
Of course, the current recording in which the event occurred will be marked as Event file. So you may have 1 or 2 Event files depending on the timing.

Hmmm... I have updated to v1.00.127 and so far one issue that keeps bugging me. It keeps asking me to "check time settings" every now and then (once or twice per day). Noticed the night recording brightness has default gone up 1 level. Comparing real footage captured last night as compared to few nights ago (before firmware upgrade), I am not sure if I like the new default brightness. It creates a lot of "hallow" to the extend that can't even see clearly license plate of cars which drove pass in middle of the night.
Day footage somehow has slight improvement but I am not sure if it's just my imagination. Oh, footage in semi-light conditions like shopping mall carparks seem to improve in sharpness.
I am switching back to v1.00.118 to see if the "check time settings" reminder will be gone.
If the CR-300HD is unable to hold time, is it the build-in battery is dead? If so, covered under warranty (unit abt 3 mths old only)?
Just wanna drop a quick note to thank you for the great camera recommended, along with the fantastic workshop which installed it. The ITB-100HD seems to live up to expectations so far, and I'm thoroughly pleased so far with the vids i captured for the 3 hours since installation today.
I do have a few questions which i hope you can assist with :
1. Read in the manual that cautioned against pulling out the SD card or disconnecting the power supply to the unit when the unit is recording. If so, what precautionary measures should i take before removing the SD card ? (My cam is currently set on 'auto parking mode' - so i think it's still recording after i switch off the engine).
2. Will new versions of the firmware (ITB-100HD) be available on your website ? Otherwise do advise how I can obtain the latest firmware.
Thanks bro. Will monitor the cam's performance for a week or two, and will provide feedback to the folks here - but otherwise, this cam really rocks. My son loves it too.

Unable to hold time is due to firmware issue bro, no because of built in battery. U can still plug out the connector & manually power up by pressing n holding the power button.Shochong,

Am glad that u like your new car dvr.
Answers to your questions:

If so, what precautionary measures should i take before removing the SD card ? (My cam is currently set on 'auto parking mode' - so i think it's still recording after i switch off the engine).
Pull out the connector slowly, let the unit power off until the red light indicator in PWR is completely off. Then remove the card. Same thing insert the card before powering it up.
2. Will new versions of the firmware (ITB-100HD) be available on your website ? Otherwise do advise how I can obtain the latest firmware.
I will keep my customers posted if there is new firmware.

One thing to take note is that when you first insert the SD into ur PC and use the ITB-100HD software to format, you will not be able to save any settings (eg Insensitivity, GMT and etc). You will be prompted with "unable to save parameter" error. You need to insert ur SD card into ur ITB-100 camera and let it record first. It will create a Setup folder. Then take out the card and re-insert into ur PC to set and save ur new setting.
Yup that's right bro, that's the 1st time initialization for a new card.Hi, I had just bought the Sandisk 32 Class 10 SD card ($35.80) for my ITB-100HD. So far so good.

The BV400HD isn't as good as it seems, the
lens fogging is back again, even after I did a exchange with
Shochong, and diligently remove the camera from the car
everyday when I park under the sun (I cover my car also)
and install camera back in the evening before leaving my workplace.
The lens still fogs. I'm resigned to my faith of this product,
and I don't have the time of day to keep sending it back to
Shochong, meeting up with him to collect, waiting for a replacement.
My option is most probably to purchase another camera online and get it
done and over with, hopefully.
And yes, I have cleaned the lens with a lens cleaning cloth.
Gimme the set, I RMA with Shochong...let me play can? Thks!This is a personal feedback guys.

Can share what are the areas to consider while getting a car recorder? I have researched some online and most concentrate on the following:
wide angle
resolution (HD)
parking recordability
GPS
recording time
Other than price, what should I look at?

Depends on ur budget and needs. There is no all-in-one car cam out there yet. Get one that most suits ur needs n budget.
My basic requirement is :
1) HD quality recording
2) Wide angle lens (120degrees enough)
3) LCD screen

My option is most probably to purchase another camera online and get it
done and over with, hopefully.
And yes, I have cleaned the lens with a lens cleaning cloth.
The latest option they offer is to change to their new HD 720p DR380. let me know if u wish to send back.
Cheers!

Any refund of $$ less the DR380 cost difference?
No refund, thats the best option they offer as warranty depreciated also.Any refund of $$ less the DR380 cost difference?
Its good enough for them to offer a new model swap rather than sending the dr400 back forever.
Don't think those who got their set from ebay can have a better solution offered like this.
Please note that I am not representing Blackvue for this offer. I am only trying to find & fight for the best solution for my customers.

What for, that will be downgrading to a lower quality camera when you paid for a HD camera.
If that's the latest option, I hate to see what their future option will be.
Shochong less then a year so much issues, exchange and I remove everyday, less then what, 3months.
No sun still got fogging of lens. So the fogging is not due to the sun, it's really due to the heat generated
by the camera that causes the lens to be like that, thus cannot say fogging, fogging is caused by humidity,
in this context, the lens is burnt.
Shochong, the lens, I believe is not glass, thus this is where the problem lies.
I will still use it till I decide on a replacement unit. And will use this for rear cam for my other car.

Wishful thinking.

In short, either we take it or leave it. Simple.
No win situation, end up paying more for a lower model which initially cost far lesser.
So much for the warranty.
Ok...how much? Free?bro your wall charger is here!
stubborn means stuborn....tell u aldy, be like me, get cheap.....and if spoil throw lor...knn
fyi, ALL 6 cameras that I have, from the Itronics to wat dunno, NEVER spoil...all swee swee...and all from overseas!
today coming in the rearview mirror DVRs, with dual camera and wireless reverse camera that I can install....let's see if that fits my needs
rearview mirror DVRs, with dual camera and wireless reverse camera ..... can post more info best with pic
just call me when u wan to collect :)Ok...how much? Free?
what makes u think it cost far lesser? actually i can tell u the cost price difference is only $40. Warranty depreciated they still let us change to Dr380 at around $40 difference, i think they are pretty fair. If everyone ask to downgrade to DR380 & refund, i think the manufacturer will have a big headache.In short, either we take it or leave it. Simple.

its DR380 not DR350.
Those getting from other source or local also keep swapping n changing, end of 1 year warranty also will give up.
Anyway those who RMA have swapped to DR380, really no point to keep sending back & make replacement until they found a permanent solution for DR400.

Like i say i dont represent Blackvue, now is their product QC problem & everyone using blackvue dr400 that are suffering throughout the world. No one knows it has this overheating issue when it was first released, if I know i would not rather sell, so many RMA problem for this DR400. So the best solution they propose is to change to DR380. At least i dont sell once i know it has overheating issues, those who are still buying now how? :)What for, that will be downgrading to a lower quality camera when you paid for a HD camera.

Yep, so by 12 months, still got same problem also LPPL.
No such thing as lasting for longer then 12 months, and if you keep swapping
back and forth, every time is $12 shipping charge, apart from petrol and time wasted
That's why I go online buy cheap, who cares, spoil, throw and get a new one, can last one year
kow poon better then ship back to Korea, go pick it up, install, use not too long again same issue if not
something new comes up.
eg. 6 times exchange within a 12 month period, $60, petrol and time added = ?

Good thing that came out of this was, lucky I didn't install it into my other car, if not double farked.

But honestly speaking, DR400 really gives me a BIG HEADACHE!
At least they propose this solution of swapping, imagine they say lan lan have to stick to DR400 how...?
I heard that even the koreans are facing the same problem in their summer now...
I think this should stress them to rectify it soon.

At least you are responsible by not selling products which have known issues to customer.I will be RMAing my DR400 for the 3rd time. The so call upgraded version is still the same. Only less than 2 months, set to 15fps, no parking under hot sun and keep in glovebox yet still have overheating. Fedup!
May be getting the ITB from you but would like to know can i use back my powermagic to plug in the ITB? I don't want to dismantle the powermagic and mess up the car's wiring.
Yea bro, thanks for your understanding. I also feel very paiseh to my customer for their DR400, so i tried very hard to nego with them to change another model, its at least the 5th times i complained then they offer DR380 as the solution. Imagine if i keep RMA for my customers within the year, time spent reallyThumbs up for you bro!

Even if they swap to DR380 i will install it to the rear. Really no confidence in Blackvue anymore.
Sounds like ITB is the best option since it can use back the powermagic. Will call u when i am ready to get it.
workshop to be fiddling with my new car due to warranty issues.
None the wiser.
Er..i was really double f**ked, bought 2 to install on both cars . U can really understand the frustration and time loss i went through
ITB using same plug as BV400?

Prior to dr400, i was using caidrox cd3000 and it works flawlessly, only thing is, it is not full hd. But then at that time full hd dvr is unheard of.
Agree. I rma 3rd or 4th time liao. Only can thk xavier for gettin dr380 as soln. N hopefully this set doesnt screw up.This is a personal feedback guys.
The BV400HD isn't as good as it seems, the
lens fogging is back again, even after I did a exchange with
Shochong, and diligently remove the camera from the car
everyday when I park under the sun (I cover my car also)
and install camera back in the evening before leaving my workplace.
The lens still fogs. I'm resigned to my faith of this product,
and I don't have the time of day to keep sending it back to
Shochong, meeting up with him to collect, waiting for a replacement.

You still got time to go 3rd and 4th time. 2nd time and I sianz already.
Initial usage, recordings were great, this is something I cannot deny about,
1st one was in the sun, ok, heat issue caused it to screwup, but now, remove from car
sill like that. No hope, how many times I change it, it will come to the same sheet.
Time to change camera.
