Solid video. No fluff, no "uhh, yeah, so um" bumbling. Just straight to the point, articulate and hits all of the important stuff. 10/10 would watch again.
I just installed this dashcam in my car and started looking on TH-cam for vids. Great job on yours. Was funny while watching it I noticed the camper store across the street from you getting off the freeway. I live in the same town. Small world. Keep up with all your great videos.
Not sure why I can not reply to specific comments on this thread, but David, yes it is very easy to slide on and off if you want to take it off the windshield when you are not driving.
+Boosted Films to get the videos off of it do we have to remove the camera and plug it into the computer? also the 5 min loop times, does that just mean every clip it records is maximum 5 mins or it turns on every 5 mins for 5 mins and then off for another 5, before turning back on.
+KingsnakeSince1986 thanks man. I read somewhere else to stop the dropping between clips you have to turn off the motion sensor. The motion sensor looks for changes from the lens and so if it doesn't see change it won't record. But if you turn it off it'll record everything. And by motion I don't mean the game force.
I am wanting to get this Dash Cam but i also want a Dash Cam that can do motion detection for when i lock my car up. This would be handy say if i parked up shopping then came back to find someone had keyed my car or damaged it i would have them on camera. How is this possible on this cam what would i need to do? Thanks in advance.
Great review... obviously the manual included with the unit is useless. I have a couple of questions, perhaps you could respond...when I hook up the unit to my PC, the index shows lots of small 20-30 snips, with some going to 130. However, during playback the video player says it can't play the full clip. Secondly, if there is an incident I wish to keep, how do I do that? If I just pull the power cord, will the unit save the last 5 minute loop?
Starting at 9:13 on the video, what's the display "8 h1" in the lower left of the display? With the unit behind the mirror, can you see the display while driving. Is there any need to see the display while driving? With the capacitor instead of battery, can you remove camera from car & take video without power cord? Sorry to ask dumb questions, but I'm new at this. I bought a DS8000L and it goes dead when disconnected from power cord, losing time / date data. Battery will not charge. I'm looking for a better camera.
Great install video. Very clear instructions. Since it loops....if you got hot y by someone do ran a red light...what do you do, if you're not too injured to preserve the footage? If you are injured and say unconscious, will you lose the footage? Thank you
I don't quite understand your question.. but for example, with a 16gb sd card, you can store about 7 hours of video of it, so you have your last 7 hours, when you turn off you car, the camera stops recording, so when you get home, or wake up from the hospital, you can just get the footage from the camera
The capacitor in it is not for the date and time. It's so that if the power is suddenly cut to the camera (in a sever wreck) it has enough power to save the current recording before shutting down. Otherwise the current file, which is probably the one of the accident, is corrupted.
Once this camera is mounted on the windscreen or dashboard, how easy is it to dismount it from its pedestal and re-mount it? Having just bought one, my first impression is that the pedestal is a very tight fit on the camera, and that it's going to be really difficult to remove it without the pedestal coming unstuck. I really don't want to leave the camera in the car, as that's just an invitation for someone to break into the car.
It is EXTREMELY hard to remove. I have the same dash cam with the same hardware. You have to used a solid, thin object (like a credit card) to detach the mount from the windshield. From my experience, the sticky-stuff is no longer useful so I have a roll of double-sided tape as replacement.
Where you install the wires depends on the vehicle. You need to find an ignition power source wire that delivers power when the vehicle comes on and a ground source. Usually the radio is the most common place to tap into an existing ignition wire. Google your vehicle type and look for the wiring diagram for the radio. Otherwise... pay a profession to do it.
I hooked up my dashcam with your video thank you!! can you tell me how and where to view my footage I've taken? I keep looking around the WEB for a site to view the dashcam footage so obviously, i'm not having good information. I have the B40-118C...Thank you for any help
+Diggity Figgity It does continuously record. the loop function just determines how long each recording is. So a 5min loop will have all the files recorded broken out by 5 minutes of video.
Question: When you say as soon as you turn it on it will start recording do you mean as soon as you start the car it will start recording or do you have to power up the unit every time you start the car? I want one that will start recording every time I start the car. I don't want to have to turn it on every time.
It needs power and ground, like all DC power supplied devices. With a hardwire kit you connect the red lead to a power source from the fuse box (or wherever you want to tap into), and the black lead attaches to a ground point, which is usually any metal bolt under the dash. This technique of wiring is called hardwiring because it is "permanently" wired. Of course it's not really permanent because you can simply detach it with tools later if desired, but it's not like a cigarette lighter socket type of install that can be instantly plugged/unplugged.
I have the same dash cam and it is the best one that I have had I had a cheep dash cam and my wife got the A118 I have had it for about 2 weeks and the video day time and night time are the best I have seen on a dash can for under 100.00 all in all I would tell anyone that is looking for a good dash cam to get the A118
hello. thank you for the video. I was wondering what does loop mean? For eg. you are driving and someone hits in your car and then what should I do on my dash cam? Should I click loop? should I click record? I want to buy the same model as yours in the video but really confused on how does loop and record function on it works. Thank you in advance
Loop is really just another way of saying, "how often should i create a new clip". When set to 5 minutes, it creates a new clip/file on the sd card for every 5 minutes of video. This should be recording 24/7 while driving. If you need the footage, take out the SD card and copy it to your computer or wherever as soon as you can. If you have a 16gig card or larger, and got in an accident, you could still drive for about a hour (or more) before it would ever re-record over the file you need. hope this helps.
I just installed one in my car today. I put in 16gb microSD. I wanted to ask that if i am driving in a day and nothing happens. So after microSD fills up...will it automatically override the previous memory? So in a way you would only have to plug in your dash cam to computer when you would need the file (lets say in case of an accident)? (Please let me know asap)
you are correct. It will loop and record over the oldest file once the storage is full. If something happens and you need the footage, remove the mirco SD card and download it.
You try driving a manual racecar on everday roads. It isn't fun hitting stop signs, if you've triple checked there is no one around, rolling a stop sign at 1mph is not bad.
I mean the wires are ran directly to other wires already in the car. as apposed to plugging it into a cigarette lighter plug similar to a phone charger.
Oh okay thanks! I bought the A118C about 3 weeks ago and it's still in the box since I'm pretty bad with cars/technology in general so thank you for the thorough video on how to install it! I plan on unboxing/installing it tomorrow but I think I'll stick with plugging it into the ciggarette charger since I don't want to start messing around with my car wiring lol.

Subie FTW! Thanks for the video. I just got my A118 last week but the weather has been rainy so I haven't installed it yet.
Great video,thanks for the information. The one I bought had no photos of the actual mounting instructions. Your video answered all my questions.
Not sure why I can not reply to specific comments on this thread, but David, yes it is very easy to slide on and off if you want to take it off the windshield when you are not driving.

oh....you do it when you're not driving. Gotcha...
The red record light at the top blinks because the screen does shut off or can be shut off so you know its still recording.

This would be handy say if i parked up shopping then came back to find someone had keyed my car or damaged it i would have them on camera. How is this possible on this cam what would i need to do?

do you have a rear cam installation video? can this same be installed on the rear of my SUV?

nice whip bruh. reminds me of my 2003 wrx
do you have any issues with your motion detection feature?
Does it matter what hard wire kit you buy?
What do you set your ev setting to? Good video, thanks.
How long did it take to hard wire?
very good camera bro
Where did you get the TF card?
The capacitor in it is not for the date and time. It's so that if the power is suddenly cut to the camera (in a sever wreck) it has enough power to save the current recording before shutting down. Otherwise the current file, which is probably the one of the accident, is corrupted.
pretty cool video
Thanks a ton, nice explanation there

can the volume be turned up on the A118C
thank you for testing review it helped to installed it properly Heads Up Peace :D
1. Is the footage as good as the g1w?
2. Can it be left in a hot parked car in Arizona?
Thanks! Good job on the video.
does it have g-sensor?
4:22 it’s not odd. It’s if you have the screen off you can tell it’s recording.
Ohh, this familiar sound... :D
Thanks for review and HI! from russian scooby fraternity)
Thanks for the great video, where do I install hardware kit? I got EDO Tech 5V kit. Thanks

You should just be able to pop out the micro SD card, put it in an adapter to regular SD, plug into your computer and copy the files.
makes sense.... thx
what does the "loop" function mean... it doesnt continously record?
+Diggity Figgity It does continuously record. the loop function just determines how long each recording is. So a 5min loop will have all the files recorded broken out by 5 minutes of video.
Where do I find the hard wire kit? Went to the website and can't seem to find it.
You can find it at amazon.com
better this or mivue 538?
Question: When you say as soon as you turn it on it will start recording do you mean as soon as you start the car it will start recording or do you have to power up the unit every time you start the car? I want one that will start recording every time I start the car. I don't want to have to turn it on every time.
+Darin and Alina House It starts recording automatically every-time you turn on the car.
+Boosted Films Thank you and great tutorial. Much appreciated
64 GB sdcard support?
what is with the grounding portion you are talking about?
It needs power and ground, like all DC power supplied devices. With a hardwire kit you connect the red lead to a power source from the fuse box (or wherever you want to tap into), and the black lead attaches to a ground point, which is usually any metal bolt under the dash.

when I turn on the car that dash cam auto turn on and record?
it do sound?
thank u
+Gianluca Losacco Yes, it starts recording as soon you start the car. It does audio too :)
1080p only right? That's enought though

I cannot do anything with menu option, is it like I need to first full charge it then try for Menu option like Date and Time settings ?
Sanjeev Choudhary can I use his camera at home via regular electric
I am not sure, but as i remember you cannot use it with regular electric. Please cross check this with some other guy.
I like this camera, but where can I get it?
Łukasz S I just saw it on Amazon for $89.00 There is a B40 for $65.00 that has another input for the rear.
i like this bro
Are the lights or glow from the screen distracting at night?
+NimblyBimbly The mirror block it from my view. And I have it so the screen turns off after 5 minutes.
+Boosted Films Thanks. Can it be set to not come on at all or maybe for just 30 seconds?
+NimblyBimbly Just checked, you can set it for 1 minute or 3 minutes. I have mine set to 3.
+Boosted Films Thanks again.
straight cut gears...mmmmm....nice
wow, nighttime is bad quality huh..i got the same one from gearbest..its not viofo brand, no name generic...price is like 40$usd now...dec2016
Hi, could you mention what hardware kit did you buy on that site? Is it this one - www.spytecinc.com/dash-camera-hard-wire-kit.html ?
Maxim Bulat Yes, that is the one.
that's cool video
I just noticed, you did a "rolling stop" on a stop sign, if it was a yield it would have been okay.
You try driving a manual racecar on everday roads. It isn't fun hitting stop signs, if you've triple checked there is no one around, rolling a stop sign at 1mph is not bad.
how much does it cost?
th-cam.com/video/AYEonuxyIoc/w-d-xo.html
What does it mean to hardwire?
I mean the wires are ran directly to other wires already in the car. as apposed to plugging it into a cigarette lighter plug similar to a phone charger.
Oh okay thanks! I bought the A118C about 3 weeks ago and it's still in the box since I'm pretty bad with cars/technology in general so thank you for the thorough video on how to install it!

good dvr...
dat wrx tho
Nok beli gok ah
There's some fish eye and night vision is ok/poor.
I used mine attach to my body,j every where I go just like the police , I use a 128 gb card
what is it like at night time
+Mark Rouse 9:13
crazy what you can get for 70 bucks nowadays.
$53 shipped with insurance
on GearBest.com Just received mine.
Please, would you know why suddenly my A118C "no battery needed" dash cam will not turn on no matter what I try?
Nick pono has it ever worked?
yes, but just found out that the provided power cord went bad. got a new cord and now it works. thank you.
very good camera bro
does it have g-sensor?
how much does it cost?
