if really less than 1 sec than not so bad... please update when u tested
am not trying to brag just offering feedback.
for drs1100pro, it got a g sensor. so if dictate impact, u can set the parameters, it will merge with the previous file to have a longer play.
eg. normal recording per file is 15 secs, if got impact, it will merge file 1 and file 2 into one file, making it into a 30 sec file, good for claims.
for all to consider, not selling it btw, don misunderstand
so where can i get the DRS1100PRO?? any contact number and address?? how much is it now?
u noe the price? gadget looks good..
where to look out for?i wonder if they got motion sensor!! i am new ..thanks in advance!!There si a group buy on going now and it is also cheaper than any of the video camera supplier in any of the forum.

ohh righty...i didnt noe about all these, just thought they were talking about it and like to tell what t know!thanks!!
In your last 3 post you mention that you have got a good camrea with motion sensor why would you want to change to one without a motion sensor aznd spend more mone, just curious to know.

I got mine from a local seller at ebay Singapore more than a year ago at US$239.so where can i get the DRS1100PRO?? any contact number and address?? how much is it now?
Currently, other ebay sellers (US) are selling it at around $388.
There is a local dealer of the product at www.driversurveillance.com
You are promoting your own product??
Bro,
just let hiim/her be, moderators will step in if they find it inappropriate.
Anyway, for the item that he/she posted, can get from dhgate at US$50 including shipping.

Did enquire this product from the supplier about the motion sensor before. They mentioned that the motion sensor is not very sensitive. So you have to guess whether is it recording. If never record then sway lo...

tks for the link...seems like its 388 now..but i like the design and the fact that it can be hidden from view at the rearview mirror..

well, i am into gadgets, the one i had is good because is intelligence enough to be motion sensor, wat i am looking for is to capture any movement because that means danger, i dont want a camera to capture everything, wasting SD card space and also the time when reviewing also need extra batt to work..gadget got to be smart!! isnt it?Bro go and read the last 10 page or so and you will know what is going on and "no" the F900HD does not have a motion sensor and this F900HD most of us will be using it as a car recording device aka "Black Box".
In your last 3 post you mention that you have got a good camrea with motion sensor why would you want to change to one without a motion sensor aznd spend more mone, just curious to know.
but the current newer models of other makes comes with LCD, LCD looks cool, what car cam have you got? care to share?

are you trying to tell me those who bought overseas but defective are also pretty SWAY too?? sending the item back and fro doesnt cost $$? making overseas call also need $ rite? i guess if the person who is really keen on getting the product, should insist on a product demo and you will know how sensitive the product is, hearing from a 3rd party is just a reference. i am not so naive to ask the person who sells, of course which product makes the most he will promote wat.
I am always looking for the best for the price i pay, without motion sensor, might as well hang yr hp there to record. i had keep the camera on whenever i left the car, so far, no defective, no lapse so those who got problems are pretty sway lor...

Full refund can be requested from products from dhgate and dealextreme. Well, in my case that's been honoured so far. Postage back is about $10, but they reimbursed me on that too.
Well if your product is good, you can tell us more about it. 1st, can take a clip and post it here. You can post a clip of motion detector in action. For e.g, post a clip of someone walking past your car after midnite. Posting a pic of how it is mounted on your car also helps. If there are buyers who have positive comments, can also post their reviews.
As mentioned, I did wanted to buy the product that you're selling before. But the supplier said the motion detection not that effective. Best is to press record when needed. That's why I didn't buy.

You can actually get a an audio shop installer to help you extend the length by means of normal electrical cable. Also, you can ask them to conceal the car charger, and it'll look neater.
Thanks i am actually fine with the charger but maybe i should get a longer cable. Wonder does Sim Lim sells?

tell them to connect directly to yr fuse not battery. So it will on and off auto.
so yr ciggy charge is still free for other things

Actually any audio shop will be able to do the installation. But if you want, can try Wee Heng Audio at Upp serangoon. Google their name and you shd be able to get the add.
Just received my HD720P yesterday. Am really surprised by the small size. :)
I got mine few days back. Went to the audio car shop and asked them to install the car charger cable for me. Originally wanted them to cut off the car charger part and connect it directly to the car battery. The shop boss said no they will solder wires off the pins of the car charger in case next time I want to use it on another car. It was a good call cos later I went home and read from the menu that the car charger actually stepped the input voltage down from the car 12V to the common USB 5V. Would have fried my unit if the car audio shop had done what I asked! Those of you getting this unit do remember this!

Any news on the groupbuy shipment? Its been quite awhile...
Have sent the vendor a reminder, waiting for reply. Hopefully, today there is some news, as they are supposed to have shipped by today.
Once sent, they will send me the tracking number - I'll email to all of you when I get it.
I checked with 1 installer.
Quoted me S$80 to lay the wire for 2 cameras (Front and back)
Is the price reasonable?

I knew of an audio shop at clementi who is cheap and good on labour. Think they should be charging about $30 for a point.
nice to hear that, thank u bro.Good news for all those in the MO. The vendor just replied me. They are shipping the items via DHL today!
Once sent, they will send me the tracking number - I'll email to all of you when I get it.
Are there any MO upcoming? Interested in the F900HD...thanks
Maybe bcos of huge shipment , hope not detain by ISAseems like we got clearance delay on our end
I realise I do not have a large capacity SD card for it.
One of the bro suggested I do another MO for it - well, it's an idea... if anymore keen - just shout out. We'll get an MO going for that - I think a 16GB SD card is about $40-$50?? 32GB is >$100, a bit too expensive at the moment. Anyone got lobang?
Also - there were several other bros who wanted to get the Camera but were dissapointed as the MO had closed.
Now that I have experience doing one MO successfully, I think I can help out with a new MO, if the interest is still there. I'll send out an email to all those who indicated interest for a 2nd MO by tonite. I believe the 2nd MO can be completed and items received much faster, as I have learned from the errors of the 1st MO. Prices, of course, still depend on the quantity ordered from supplier, but I think the supplier will now give good prices since we are a regular customer.
I am keen in the SDHC card MO, if any..
just done up the wide angle lens yeah if we can get a good price for bulk purchase of SD card, why not?
if we are getting, then in the meantime i going to temporarily use an old school 512mb MMC card.. don know can work or not
thanks bro for organising MO for everyone and for the hassle you gone through.. got chance got to blanjah u makan
short time with u just now trying to find a good way to mount the cam
recycle/loop function is in intervals of 1, 5, 10, 15 mins.
at the end of each interval, a file will be saved,
and recording of the next interval starts after
slightly less than 2 secs using an 8GB Class 4 SDHC.
question is should we set it at 15 mins or
disable it so that it will record till the card is full?
if set at 15 mins interval, we will lose ~2 secs of recording
every 15 mins, but file size will be more manageable
(for 1920x1080 is ~1MB/s == ~900MB).
if loop disabled, the recording stops when the card is full,
it doesn't seem able to overwrite on a FIFO-basis.

bro, i was looking for the auto overwrite old file function. so u mean it's on automatically the moment you set a interval time? can only try if i manage to fill up the card when i go drive around.
actually it's better to have the files split, in case the vid file got corrupted u can't play anything. also easier to manage with the smaller file sizes, you can extract the part that u need to watch.

i tried it w/o any SDHC card inserted,
and it doesn't overwrite oldest file,
it simply refuses to record any more.
if u set to 1920x1080, your 512MB should fill up in ~8.5 mins.

BUT no file is saved.
I think the built in LCD on the camera is good - as it allows the camera to be mounted precisely, whilst you know where it is pointing.
I tried both the mounts - could not quite figure out the standard mount. But I shall be using the upside down mount, and place it behind the rearview... i think this is the most inconspicuous area, but it is still a bulky thing, and easily see from outside. Does not seem to be an easy way to hide it. I am wondering about vibration when driving - got to try out today.
The wide angle lens is quite cute... just stick one ring on the camera lens, and then magnetically mount the wide angle on top. But it is easy to slide off.
Can i collect from you this weekend then we discussed. Anyone keen to meet up to try out this gadget together over at... ha.ha....yr place.
Oops suppose to reply to Parkingidiot.. sori.

I was trying with an old school 128MB SD card last night - can record total 3:55 min at the lowest res (848x). I did interval of 1 min. And looped. So it was ok. The lowest res is a bit grainy, but otherwise quite clear recording. Have not tried extracting to PC yet to see the video on bigger screen. Now to get a bigger SD card!

There is a setting called "video flip" on the video settings menu. Switch it to "on" and the camera will record upside down. Then when you d/l to PC, the video will be right side up already. No need for additional software to flip!
If want to add additional comments - I guess can use Microsoft Movie Make to do. Microsoft Movie Maker is a standard install in Windows PC

don't say I say... but if can get some erhm.. "shareware" version of say Ulead or Pinnacle s/w, can do the job very nicely. Not sure of other freeware .mov editors.. The other solution maybe to convert .mov to .avi or .wmv and then use MS Movie Maker.

I am also a bit confused about this... I think it means record lengths per clip. But if used in conjunction with recycle, i am not sure which supercedes.

don even need installation, just open the program, drag the mov file in, convert, avi pops out. if u need help with the settings let mi knoe
overall the DVR is cool, but i found that there is s lapse of ~4 sec in HD mode and ~ 2sec lapse in the lowest resolution during the interval between two files. Currently am using Verbatim 4G SDHC class 6.

Thanks

icic! i am having a time figuring out what each is for too!
Anyone able to 'auto-start" it? ie. Connect everything to the power supply in the car and once the engine is turn on, it will boot up and automatically start recording???
The best that i can do for the moment is connect everything, and it goes into the blue screen mode- to choose msc(whats that for), charge or power on.
And does it charge and record at the same time?

yeah.. so far I get it to auto start and go to blue screen - need to press recording to start record. Also dunno what is MSC.
I am going to collate all the questions we can't answer - and send to supplier to get some answers.
So far "msc" and "duration' and auto start recording are the unknowns... any more?
If you try lower resolution, eg 1280x720, it covers wider angle.Just tried mounting it in the car behind the rearview. The angle of view is quite wide... but not really cover the whole windscreen (even with the wide angle lens). But it is quite wide, enough for my needs.
msc is for your computer to detect the camera/memory card as removable drives, so you can browse the filesyeah.. so far I get it to auto start and go to blue screen - need to press recording to start record. Also dunno what is MSC.

i read duration is something like - if you set it it will only record for that length. it's not meant to go along with the recycle settings.
my auto record can work. set USB IN to on .. once the power is up, blue screen comes on, few sec later it will start recording.
if you wait awhile to crank the engine (like me), the power will get cut off when you crank late.. then if it doesnt come on after engine start, just press power button once. it will start and auto record.
i took the normal bracket (with the standard package) and mount it upside down. so the camera clicks in the holder from bottom up
as this position the camera is not so 'front', it's able to cover wider area, and also less obvious from the front
memory card also easier to take out. down side is because the holder clicks in from bottom, although it feels sturdy, afraid it will drop off when there's too many shakings. tried ways to mod the holder but cant think of any
in the end, settle with the upside down mount.
down side is you cant take the memory card out when it's screwed in. and it's very obvious from the front.
for now, i just unscrew the camera and bring it home to test out the videos recorded. maybe when i get lazier i just leave the camera like it is (or when i don't need extract any vids)
spent an hour + doing up my cable into the a-pillar and the legroom area. satisfied with the setup now
I've managed to hide the USB cable in the roof lining and the A-pillar. Now to tidy up under the dashboard and the cigarette lighter. I've got a few gadgets there in a multi-scoket, so quite unsightly.
Edited by Parkingidiot, 24 July 2010 - 07:32 PM.
I did a dashboard mount for my recorder. I used the flat surface on my dashboard to place the holder. And a flat round piece that was from my GPS holder to hold the suction cup of the holder.
Anyway, tried recording just now while driving. After that, I tried to review the video, but it showed me file error! 30 mins of video wasted. But when I tested with short recordings earlier, it was fine. WTH!!??
Anyone had this problem?
It's supposed to be able to be able set 6 different orientations. But can only set flip and no flip...
Found 2 dead pixels on my set... :(
I was actually playing with different resolution setting and notice HD (1920x1080) appear as normal, but the rest are wider.how do you do that, pls advise. can't imagine.

But cannot play video for 1280x720, it hang, maybe the resolution too low. 
So SanDisk Extreme SDHC class 10 should be better, but damn expensive, Harvey Norman is selling at $99 for 8GB.

That's the video resolution I selected! And it says file error when U try to play it.
When you guys get file error - has the video length been set? eg, 5min, 10min,etc?
That will be the qns to ask then.. which SD card can be use which class is considered as compartible.
There is no file error for me. For 1280x720, it plays for 1-2 sec, then hang. But HD mode is ok, no problem.When you guys get file error - has the video length been set? eg, 5min, 10min,etc?

I set no duration. Does it mean it just record without stopping? I have yet to reada the manual.
By the way, how to tell whether the memory card is good or not? What sdhc class 6, 8, 10 as mentioned by jp66?
What sdhc class 6, 8, 10 as mentioned by jp66?
Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)
For SanDisk, the speed are different for Ultra and Extreme. Ultra class 6 is 15 MB/s, Extreme class 6 is 20MB/s.Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)
How many sec lapse between files?I tried on my Lexar 4GB class 4 on the F900 no problem but I set to recycle 1 min and every 1 min a new file is created.
Will test with other recycle time tomorrow.
1. Does not interfere with the rearview mirror,
2. best angle of view properly adjusted and fixed,
3. can easily detach and reattach camera from the mount without needing readjust the angle of view
4. cable nicely hidden under roof lining, and A pillar.
5. the SD card can be easily removed and reinserted without removing the camera from mount
6. camera not so obvious from outside
7. the LCD is easily viewed by driver, just glance upwards
I'll take a photo and post up later.
The cons of this camera:
1. the field of view does not cover whole windshield as I was hoping, even with the wideangled lens. But it is better than my previous cam, I think about 70% of the front view is captured.
2. Night recording is petty hopeless without a lot of ambient external light.
3. No motion detection features
4. there is a gap in recording between clips about 2 secs... but I think that is livable with... esp if each clip is set to say 15mins.
The pros of this camera:
1. automatically start recording with ignition on, and stop when off ignition. No worries about missing a recording.
2. The recording loops about the available media space... so no worries about running out of media to record.
3. can set length of recording to suit needs, recording media.
4. The recording is pretty clear, esp at the higher resolutions.
5. Can detach and use as a handheld cam/recording device
6. Has internal battery which can allow the cam to be used even after car engine is off, for a short duration - not sure how long though, need to test
Unknown variables:
1. how long will it last before video quality degrades or camera fails altogether?
2. can it tahan singapore sun without getting damaged?
For SanDisk, the speed are different for Ultra and Extreme. Ultra class 6 is 15 MB/s, Extreme class 6 is 20MB/s.
but are the devices card-dependent ? i mean, can our DVRs make use of the speed of such cards such as the class10 card ? I believe our DVRs have capacity limitations at 32gbs .... but what abt speed ? the most common high speed one is class 6, whereas class 10 is something "new".
Problem fixed, cannot use the long USB cable, probably signal lost.My another laptop with Windows 7 cannot detect the device at all. Do I need to install any software?
if every time need to take off and put on will be pretty troublesome

using XP and the long USB cable, it can power on and charge the cam but not able to view the memory.
I believe the long cable is more for car use and not for connecting to the PC.

Yes.. I am bit unsure about this.
I did a bit of Internet research this morning and came up with a spreadsheet comparison of all the SDHC cards of various brands sold at SLS in 8BG/16GB/32Gb capacity of all the available classes. See the attachment for details (MS Excel 2007 format). The 2nd worksheet has some explanations of SD "class" speeds comparisons.
I think I am going to try out the Sandisk Ultra 16GB - seems the most bang per buck - according to my comaprison, ithe cheapest is at Cybermind for $59.
I'll ask if there are discounts for bulk purchase... those interested may want to organise an MO, if so.
My source for the comparison is from the latest pricelists at Hardwarezone.

I have resaved in Excel 2003 version and uploaded again.
Don't download the zipped version - just d/l the .xls version. The upload function seems to corrupt the file inside the zip.

Wah, all the class this class that I dun understand leh.
My time of using memory cards only need to know whether is it SD, CF, MMC, etc.
To simplify things, why dun you all just tell me, and other noobs like me, which ones to use?
When I later try starting my car again same problem again did the same thing and remove the batt and everything went back to normal. Now I trying to check the setting again can anyone confirm when you start the car first the blue screen will apear the first is MSC second is charge third is power on can please help confirm the yellow highlight is at which function?
How many sec lapse between files?
Ok I check the sec laps for my 4GB class 4 card is 1 sec. This morning i start my car and the screen of my F900 is black it does not show anything on it and I unplug the usb cable but the screen did not goes Off I have to take out the batt to have a hard reset and after that it can record again.

The yellow highlight is on MSC, but if you do not press the OK key, after 5 sec it will auto record. You can try on your laptop, it is the same behaviour.
Cheers,
I think the most common one is Kingston or Sandisk SDHC 2GB or 4GB class 4, they should work.Wah, all the class this class that I dun understand leh.

Thanks! Will try looking for 32GB SD cards in that class.
Anyone has this problem? Could there be a problem with the lens?

Did u switch to macro mode? The black switch behind the camera lensI just tried to view the video in my PC, and I realised ALL the videos are not sharp! The resolution is good, but the images are blurry! It's like an off-focus camera image!
Anyone has this problem? Could there be a problem with the lens?
I seem to have some problem with my car charger - it doesnt 'stick' inside my socket at all. It just pops out and there will be no power supply. I have to apply pressure for it to stay in. Is there anything ssuggestions?
have emailed you...

My goodness!!
So it was a case of silly user problem! I moved it to macro without realising it!
Thanks for the clarification.
Will try the video again tomoro morning on my way to work.
Plugged the SDHC into my camera - set the recycle to 15mins, and resolution to 1720x and started driving. It seemed to record ok. Each 15min clip about 500+ MB Anyway, managed to record about 2 hours of driving. I think can record total about 7+ hours of video at this resolution, before recycling.
On the camera LCD review - the video seems quite clear.
Removed the SD card from the camera and plugged into my card reader. Used Apple quicktime to view. The video seemed quite clear - but not HD quality, of course. Colors a bit washed out - I think also partly due to the afternoon glare on the windscreen causing some flaring on the lens. I think must mod a hood for the lens - or place some darker material on the windscreen to cut the glare.
Also I think my card reader or PC something wrong - when trying to copy the video over it hang with a read error after a few minutes without anything copied. The same happened when I plugged the camera directly to the PC as Mass Storage Device and tried copying. However, when viewing on PC with the media in the card reader or camera, can view ok.
That's my review so far.
so u mean there's no lapse in between?I went to Sim Lim this morning to buy the SDHC card... went to the cheapest place for the Sandisk Ultra 16GB (15MB/s) at Cybermind ($59) but they say no stock. So went to the next cheapest place at Best Bargain ($62.50) - got 1 piece there. I asked them but they don't want to commit to any discounts without an immediate purchase. Wierd.

oh... did not check that. Will check later and see.
Bro, do u mean 720?Plugged the SDHC into my camera - set the recycle to 15mins, and resolution to 1720x and started driving. It seemed to record ok. Each 15min clip about 500+ MB Anyway, managed to record about 2 hours of driving. I think can record total about 7+ hours of video at this resolution, before recycling.
Mine 1920x1080, 15 min about slightly less than 1GB. Recycling working perfectly. so 8GB can last about 2 hrs.
when i using the f500 to view the video no problem,
but when i use my pc real player to view, the video will jerk, using quicktime to view, machiam slow motion...
i set to 1920x1080 resoultion, infact tried other resolution but same outcome.
anybody experience the same problem?

No problem for me. Not jerky at all.
But I find that the wide angle lens is not that wide. Its abt 100-110 degrees only. My DRS1100PRO is 152 degrees wide angle and it covers the entire bonnet.
I am into my first day of using it only, so far so good. Using Sandisk 16Gb Class 2 SD card. Have not checked the time lapse yet but I am not too bothered abt it.
