This is a dashcam for people who like to fiddle about with things. It's very small indeed, only slightly bigger than a packet of Tictacs. There are many fake Mobius cams being sold on ebay so you're best to stick with a reliable vendor such as Banggood.

For anyone looking to buy a dashcam I recommend watching Techmoan's excellent reviews on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFB79814F24001328 - especially the "Beginners Guide to Dashcams".

After a lot of research I decided:

1. It is preferable to have a very small camera that will not be too noticeable from outside. If you have to keep removing it when you leave the car you'll not use it.
2. Park mode is probably not as useful as you would think and can drain your car battery.
3. Dashcam batteries may not last long due to the constant charging & recharging and exposure to excess heat in the car. A dashcam with a super capacitor instead of a battery is a much better idea.
4. Wifi on a dashcam is a useless gimmick.
5. GPS on a dashcam is a double-edged sword - it's maybe a nice feature to have but if your footage shows your insurance company you were doing 32mph in a 30mph zone it'll all be your fault in their eyes.

There is a handy Windows setup utility
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25178932&postcount=6 to adjust the settings.
You can also use their Android app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=therau2000.amcamobiusac to do the same, all you need is a 99p OTG cable and you can set it up with your phone or tablet.

The Dashcamtalk forum
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/mobius-support-thread-and-tech-guide-post-all-problems-help-requests-here-read-posts-1-8-first.4232/ is an excellent source of help & support.

You will need a few other bits & pieces to use it as a dashcam:

Bear in mind this isn't always an advantage!.

Jeez postmen delivered at 8am this morning
That is super quick delivery from there European warehouse..Wow

Just running through a few of the settings, this thing is so easy to update and setup, almost like your being spoonfed..
All done updated to latest firmware and by luck happened to find an old class 4 Kingston 32GB micro SD card in my camera bag, works a treat, image quality is brilliant and the transition when going from light to dark areas is almost seamless, must be a good sensor in this little camera..

Just waiting for the hardwire kit and mount from the other thread now!

LOL, stop proving you have no idea and let the grown ups discuss a great product.

Perfect as a dashcam!



That's it say behind the rear view mirror of a Tiguan

I paid about this for my current camera, which records location and speed (using GPS) on the video footage.

Cheers, was going to order another soon anyway.

another car or to fit on the rest possibly?

these look like a neat solution without standing out, can anyone comment on how they are to setup?

The deal was on some time ago, not available any more. Video quality is certainly important, but a GPS function is not pointless. As I say, it records your speed and map coordinates on the video (text on the bottom of the screen), which is a very useful addition to the video footage should you need to use it in evidence. Using the application that came with my camera, when I view the videos on my computer it shows me my position and progress on a map as the video plays. I have another cheaper dash camera without this feature that I use in my other car. It has good pictures but is missing the GPS info so you cannot accompany your visuals with evidence about where you were and how fast you were going.

Bear in mind this isn't always an advantage!.

They can break just like any cheap, or even not cheap, electronics but this is for another car :smiley:

Thing with these is with a bit of care they are very discreet to install, very good day and night video quality and cheap enough not to worry about leaving in the car.

They should be a fit and forget item but there when you really need it.
