Excellent review, sir. Your English is equally as good. Honestly, you speak quite well. Were my French a quarter as good as your English, I’d be delighted.
Convinced me, I'm ordering one today. When it comes to adding the power, instead of running the wires down the dash and into the power supply, he simply cut the wires and spliced them into 12 volt wires that run into his power review mirror.
Your English is much better than my French. I think you did just fine. Thanks for the review! I picked up one of these a few weeks ago. In fact, I think your English is better than the English in the instructions.
English is great, don't worry about that, just work on being concise in what you plan to say and show. Early efforts at reviews do ted to be a bit of a ramble until one develops their confidence in production and their own delivery style. Keep going :)
Could you please do a video of how to install this thing, talking about power supply and different ideas? Also, can someone please suggest some cams that work when I'm parked as well and has impact or motion detection? I'm not sure how that works but I'm really interested to learn how he routes his power without ugly cables everywhere...
A 1-star review of the Mini 0803 on Amazon reports "After only a week in 70-75 degree Seattle weather, the camera bodies deformed and started drooping." How do you think the A118 can handle heat?
+Peter Janak Jr You have to connect the dashcam on a wire that have 12V after starting engine, and 0V when engine is stopped. You can use cigaret lighter plug or a wire behind your sound system radio.
Yes, but it was fixed since I have replaced my Transcend card by a Sandisk card... Strange because Sandisk is not recommended with Notatek based dashcams
Used USB cable provided by manufacturer to plug A118 to the lab top but cannot seems to play the recording inside the micro chip. How did you upload this video to the TH-cam?
If I set auto power off to "5 minutes" does that mean it will keep recording for 5 mins after the car is turned off? Can you explain what "auto power off" is please.
Autopower off does not work as delayed shutdown after the car is turned off. It works if you let the dashcam ON without recording. The delayed shutdown of A118 is about 10 seconds, you can't set any other shutdown delay.
Kris. To what advantage does the Capacitor version have over the battery version? Or visa versa. It seems like A1181.5 and A118C are tge exact same except one is battery and the other is Capacitor. I too would like to k of the correct configuration to hardwire
+Peter Janak Jr Capacitor version is better in hot countries. Life span of the dashcam is also better with a capacitor. All my A118 have a dead battery after 1 year of use. I have to replace them soon. But to replace a battery , you have to do some DIY. Not all people can do this.
+fantomas21000 I invasion the same with one other additional feature for each camera. Rather than installing SD card into camera. Perhaps installing two fake SD cards hard wired to a box with two real SD card slots attached to driver side dash area. This would provide very easy access to SD cards rather than having to climb through car and possibly dropping the cards.
Hi sorry for my poor English I install this cam in front glass of my car but i want to install another one in rear window. how? do I need to buy car charger with two heads?
Chris S How does it perform at night? I am also trying to decide between the G1W and the A118, but perform most of my driving at night. It's a 5 hr one way trip
a bin même avec le fait que je parle pas plus de 2 mot en anglais, j'ai compris que tu dit a 13:35 que tu est francais ^^ j'avais donc raison ! :) Dit maintenant que ca fait un petit moment que tu utilise cette caméra, qu'en pense tu a la longue ??? Merci d'avance pour ta réponse!
Darkblanc J'en suis super satisfait, j'adore son système de fixation et l'image est impeccable. Moins bonne image que la 0806 mais c'est malgré tout très correct, les plaques d'immat sont lisibles même en roulant.
fantomas21000 ok merci pour ta réponse, et j'avais une question sur son fonctionnement a 10;27 tu parle du Loop recording de 5min 3min 1min ou off , a quoi ca correspond ? se sont les fichiers vidéos créé qui feront cette duré ? car justement je me demandais si c'était pas, par exemple tu met une carte de 32go, il ne vas pas sauvegarder en effacer les vidéos plus ancienne pour en garder que 5 min ??? comment ca fonctionne de se coté ?
fantomas21000 et dernier point qui me la fera acheté ou non, c'est l'autonomie une fois chargé ? et tu travail pour le site Banggood? car il y a une photo de ton installation sur le présentation de cette caméra tout a la fin ! ^^ www.banggood.com/fr/A118-H_264-1080P-Full-HD-Car-DVR-Dash-Cam-170-Degree-Video-Recorder-p-950763.html

Thanks for this. It helped me figure out how some of the hardware components worked.
Merci, I found the instruction manual to be less than helpful. You're review was very helpful and I appreciate your time and effort! David
Excellent english and review. Thinking of buying A118. Thanks for the help.
Ashis Mukerjea Thanks :)
Thanks for the review, very informative, especially the camera comparison.
A 1-star review of the Mini 0803 on Amazon reports "After only a week in 70-75 degree Seattle weather, the camera bodies deformed and started drooping." How do you think the A118 can handle heat?
I suggest you to ask this question to a manufacturer well known on Dashcamtalk forum. His name is "jokiin"
I think you did good I just ordered one for my car due to your review thank so much
Excellent and thorough review.
Your English is a lot better than my French. ;-) Thanks for the info!
Great review! I will be buying this and using it to film my driving for my channel dedicated to my 2010 Mini Cooper S! Thanks!
#MiniWithATH-cam
Please excuse typos in previous post. I would like to know correct configuration to hardwire to fuse box. Or to the battery.
+Peter Janak Jr You have to connect the dashcam on a wire that have 12V after starting engine, and 0V when engine is stopped. You can use cigaret lighter plug or a wire behind your sound system radio.
+fantomas21000 Thanks again for the information.
00:10 nothing wrong with your English it is as good as some English speaking people I know.
Thanks ! But I'm not satisfied by myself, I know I can perform better !
Great review! I just received my a118 today and your video helps a lot. Great English. Thank you.
longster47 You're welcome
Nice video. Very detailed and informative review. Have you run into any “Card Full” error with your A118?
Yes, but it was fixed since I have replaced my Transcend card by a Sandisk card... Strange because Sandisk is not recommended with Notatek based dashcams
Used USB cable provided by manufacturer to plug A118 to the lab top but cannot seems to play the recording inside the micro chip. How did you upload this video to the TH-cam?
I never use the USB cable provided with dashcam to visualize videos.
I always use a card reader on the PC.
Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it. I see that you also have a G1W dash cam. Would you prefer the G1W or the A118? Which has better video quality?
Video quality is similar but A118 is more interesting because it has a wider FOV
I see, thanks for the reply.
Excellent review! Very informative and you seem to have a few cameras to compare it with. ;-)
Does this have to ability to automatically turn on and record on battery if your car is hit when parked/off.?
No. There is no parking mode, only motion detection
Tu pales Anglais tres bien, encore mieux que nous les Anglais parlent Francais!
Good review, missed an example of video.
Good job showing uf cámara i like
Excellent thank you.
Love the review.. but that tint job needs to go. :) your English is great, don't worry about it. I really enjoyed the review and have the same camera.
Excellent video!
If I set auto power off to "5 minutes" does that mean it will keep recording for 5 mins after the car is turned off? Can you explain what "auto power off" is please.

fantomas21000 Ok, thank you :)
Good work, Thanks

+fantomas21000 wow. Thank you for quick reply. This Camera actually looks very good. Ir seems ideal for permanent installation into my car.
+Peter Janak Jr I have 3 cars using A118 or A118C on front and rear ;)
+fantomas21000 I invasion the same with one other additional feature for each camera. Rather than installing SD card into camera.

Do you like the a119? and is it reliable ?
great job with the video!
English is good but work on not repeating so much. Thanks for the work!
hi just wanted to ask which one would you prefer to have in car 0803 or A118.
I can't decide from this 2.
A118 has better picture quality and better reliability.
thanks
Hi
sorry for my poor English
I install this cam in front glass of my car but i want to install another one in rear window. how?
do I need to buy car charger with two heads?
+Alblogy You can use this kind of item : www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-Two-Way-Charger-Adapter-Splitter/dp/B001JPRLPM
+fantomas21000
wow thanks! I hope it will run 2 A118 dashcams i will buy it
+Alblogy I run 4 dashcams on my car ;)
+Alblogy Think also about a cable extension for rear mounting
+fantomas21000
do I need also to buy long cable extension? give me amazon link for it please
Great review, just what I needed. Don't bother about your English, we do understand it well ;)
Cheers
Do you like the G1W or at A118 better?
Video quality is the same but A118 has larger angleof view and is much more stealthy.
I'm Fantomas21000, Chris is my name on smartphone
Chris S
How does it perform at night? I am also trying to decide between the G1W and the A118, but perform most of my driving at night. It's a 5 hr one way trip
Norman K
If you mostly drive at night, I would better suggest mini 0803 or G90
Thank you
tu ne parlerais pas francais par asard toi ? ^^ Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo !
a bin même avec le fait que je parle pas plus de 2 mot en anglais, j'ai compris que tu dit a 13:35 que tu est francais ^^ j'avais donc raison ! :)
