    how much u selling the BV 380? Just curious....thks!

    I m consolidating those who want to sell off their BV380, price is set by them, not me, haha this is not for my personal sales, is to help the bros sell off, but i think roughly will be $280+/- without new card, without power magic, box and accessories. Still waiting for the DR380 to come, in Singpost liao..

    Picanto, the bashing has to stop somewhere. Main issue at hand is you did not buy your cam from
    any of the said sponsors here, which doesn't give you bitching rights.

    Users like myself are pissed off not at the service, but the product for giving so much issues.
    and that is legitimate.

    You either give constructive advice or shut the fark up. dry.gif

    He's been barking up sponsor's tree for a while now, and mods are watching him again.
    If sponsors did something wrong to him or buyers here, then by all means they deserve
    it, product faulty is not vendor's fault if they go all out to rectify the issue at hand, and not
    heck care, wash their hands and walk off.

    He didn't get his car cam from any of the MCF sponsors, so he doesn't have any right to say about their service.

    He is capable of positive constructive, thing with him he choose to be a complete esshole instead.
    If he had bought the camera from either sponsors here, and he's got recourse, it's a different matter.
    Instead, well. I said my piece.

    True the BV400HD is disappointment, apart from the heat issue, video all great.

    Hi again,
    can anyone advise on the best way to edit videos from ITB-100HD? I want to combine 3 videos together, each being 1 minute long, but at the same time, I want to speed up some parts of the video and slow down (to frame by frame for reg recognition) other parts. I also want to add a permanent watermark to the whole video from a png file, transparent logo.

    I have avidemux, it's a free video editor, but it seems to have problems with H264?

    Win 7 comes with video editor. You can use that.

    Korean ones, one to 3 min video recording time.

    China ones, up to 15min video recording time.

    Anyone used TPower External Battery before? Sorry if this has been asked before but my word search in this forum yielded nothing.

    Can two hours of charging the TPower while driving be sufficient to power my DVR in parking mode/motion detect mode for the remaining 22 hours everyday?

    For me, tried on BV and Finevu cameras, they last only 4hrs of recording when fully charged. If u looking for 22hrs of recording, u should be looking for at least 6,000mah capacity battery with 12V output.

    But two hours of driving is not sufficient to charge a flat battery to 6,000mah. Portable charger has not advance in technology yet.

    icic...but Tpower is rated at 10,400 mAH. Despite their claims, based on your own test, 4 hours is the max for surveillance recording. 4 hours maybe good enough for me.

    The Tpower website claims that their special car charger (QC84) cuts down the charging time by half. Dunno how true?

    Read the specs again. Its 3.7v 10,400mah battery. To achieve 12v, they step up the voltage so ur actual capacity drop to 2,000+ mah only.

    I feel cheated after buying and realised it.

    Not possible lah. Finevu draws max of 2.9watts and 0.23A while working, not possible for a 3.7v 10,400mah battery to power it for more than 12hrs 12v.

    This is impossible. Ask ur customer to show proof. Unless he using two units of Tpower. biggrin.gif

    but assuming the battery don't drain when not in use, every time we drive the car it gets charged, so the charging should be up to max ?

    true but the main issue is whether the time spent driving (say 2 hours a day) is sufficient to charge up the external battery to a sufficient level to allow a reasonable extended period (say 4~8 hours) of powering the DVR in parking mode. (of course asking for continous power for the entire 22 hours is not reasonable given its limited mAH of most devices in the market as tested by bro Adrian)

    If the external battery charging needs to be supplemented by manually charging in our home 240V outlet even if we drive 2 or 3 hours a day, then it would not be so convenient anymore.

    Charging up to the max depends on the charger in use and the duration of ur car engine is running to power the charger. If ur journey on the road is short, charging time is short too.

    And remember, for any type of battery, fast charging is the least recommendation by any manufacturer.

    Let me test over a period of 3 days, specifying hours drived & parked each day & state my findings wink.gif
    My understanding is we just need to full charge it one time, then the rest of the charging will be left in the car.

    I will test on my itronics overnight tonight with Tpower fully charge & see how long it last tongue.gif


    I suppose you are going to just check the number of "bars" left in the device the next morning?

    Ideally, you should park in a place that has some external movements around the car at least every hour, otherwise you may see a recording initially and nothing else for the whole night, i.e. you would not know at what point in time the battery becomes too weak to do a recording.

    what i mean to say is that can use many trips to charge till max then use for one occasion of 22 hour. although i do find 22 hour a bit exaggerated hehe.

    but i would be happy with 8 hour, typically for overnight surveillance.

    perhaps buy 2 batteries?
    charge both batteries using the car charger but connect the dvr to one of them... so one of them is constantly drained while the other is constantly charged.
    swap the dvr (just change the plug) to the other battery when the one its connected to is showing low batt?

    got to test if it works though... skali even that is not enough and still got to top up the battery charge at home bigcry.gif

    Problem is rate of charging unable to keep up with rate of usage. If you are using the older car cams w/o HD ones, their consumption rate not that high so ur battery will last longer.

    Just by simple calculate u can determine, charge for one hour, use for 23hours. Possible???


    8hrs??? Like that u need to plug in n out the adapter to the car camera. I am looking for a battery solution for fuss free 24/7 surveillance. Install and forget abt it. So far I still think installing a second car battery like those ICE enthusiast works. The alternator charge the battery much faster than any cig plug charger.

    true. but i thought your viewcam is the type that directly taps onto the car battery power?

    is there one type of battery that can be taken out and charged seperately at home and then installed onto the set for say 8-hour surveillance?

    Yes, it was tapped directly to car battery. But after two drained car battery and unable to start car, I decided to use external battery.

    For my previous non-HD car cam, I never had a problem with drained car battery. But with the new Full HD car cams, I encountered it twice. I spent two of my annual leave to remove my car battery and bring home to charge.


    Now, weekday nights, I use my r/c leftover lithium ploymer batteries. Weekend nights, I use a SLA 12V 7.2ah battery thru the weekend. Weekday daytime at office, its Tpower only. So everyday have to plug n unplug to switch ard different battery packs to ensure 24/7 surveillance.

    oh i see. so you have to keep going to your car to change battery every few hours right?

    so which is the longest lasting external bttery you used?

    It means that the DVR is operating during normal driving only but no overnight survelillance before the external battery is fully charged. The many trips your are referring to could take a few days of accumulated driving to fully charge the battery.

    Well I suppose it is better than absolutely no overnight surveillance at all. sad.gif

    yep that's what i mean.

    of course, certain nights no surveillance is not so ideal but not much of a choice if i don't know how to fix the battery issue.

    Just make ur own adapter lah.

    Mine is cig plug -> Deans plug -> parallel splitter -> Tpower charger -> JST plug -> Car camera

    Another one is Parallel splitter -> Deans plug -> SLA Battery -> JST plug -> Car camera(weekend use only, weekday continuous charging when driving)


    Deans plug can withstand up to 30-60A DC

    JST plug can withstand up to 10A DC

    Only last few yrs started to pick up electrical stuff and do own soldering. Everytime ask those SLT shops help do soldering, S$3 per job just to solder an adapter or LED. So cheaper to get one soldering iron 40W(S$3) and some soldering lead (S$1.50) and DIY.

    Ya, me in engineering side but mechanical side, not electrical side.

    I also have to slowly pick up and re-read my basic electrical knowledge. laugh.gif Wana learn, better go SLT shops. They got better knowledge than me. I also watch and ask them to teach me one.

    I get my soldering supplies from one shop beside Dayjones, SLT basement.

    Plug, adapters, heatsinks, fans, etc from one of the shop next to the rear staircase at SLT basement.

    LEDs and JST plugs, from E-top SLT level 3.

    Tools and heat shrink, from Sun bright or Kaichin SLT level 3.

    Battery or battery shrink wraps, from battery shop at SLT basement next to escalator.

    No lah, cos I do lots of DIY for my r/c stuff so have to visit SLT often rather than hobby shops who will inflate of the prices of the same stuff that can be found at SLT.

    I usually visit SLT at 6pm during weekday or before 11am on Sat. Lots of parking lots to choose from. Most shops there close at 7pm and open from 10am. I dont visit the shops on level two except for the one selling export set car HU. He sell these HU at lower than retail prices but no warranty lah.

    Caught this aggressive driver the other day. Recorded with iTronics ITB-100HD but split over 3 1 minute clips and I wanted to speed up some parts of the video and slow down where reg plate is visible, as well as putting logo watermark top left. This is the best I could do with camstudio software just recording what was on the screen through screen capture while I played it through MPlayer Classic. If I knew a bit more about video editing with MKV files quality for youtube would be better :)

    TPOWER 10,400 MAH Test Result Part 1

    Day 1 - 4th Jul:
    1. Full Charged the Tpower on 4th Jul in the day.
    2. Checked the indicator & use it to power up my Itronics ITB100HD at 6.13pm to leave it for overnight surveillance.


    Day 2 - 5th Jul:
    1. Checked Tpower at around 3pm, to find its empty.
    2. Brought back the SD card to see when the last recording was ended.
    3.The last recording ended at 6.18am, so that's lasted 12 hours overnight.


    Will continue to monitor based on driving duration & charging duration in car to judge for another night.
