I expect that it has a super capacitor rather than a battery. Super capacitors are much more reliable than lithium batteries in the extreme temperatures that occur during summer in a compact black bodied camera mounted under a raked glass windscreen in the summer sun, and li-ion batteries are typically not supposed to be charged at much over 45 Celcius so super caps are usually the preferred choice in dashcams.

had mine about 2 years now and is faultless,only downside is if you don't use your car for a couple of days you'll have to re-enter date and time.

I only drive/use mine at Weekends. Never had any issues with date resetting. Good Find ntw.
I would recommend a larger memory card though as the 16gb doesn't record a whole lot of driving on max settings. 64gb works great for me.

Ive had mine for a couple of years and its been spot on,

Managed to reserve one for the rear :smiley:

Damn I was thinking of selling mine soon with the suction mount and memory card - prob won't get as much for it now. :disappointed:

Still a hot deal as mine has been great and only getting rid of it for a more discreet one as I leave it in the car all the time.

Guys how does it perform in night time ??

Just to add, if i'm sat at lights then it does indeed get Reg plates etc... It's just when in motion with oncoming vehicles approaching that it can lose a few details.

how long does the internal battery last while not plugged in?

Very very hot price for a great camera.

hot I was looking at this when it was £70 but this is even better

Have people hardwired this in?
I got annoyed with the wire haning in the middle of my windscreen

It's really good and clear, the video link is obviously downscaled

I'll look into it. Thanks

​exactly what I do. That way the only exposed wires are the ones coming down by the mirror. maybe someone out there can produce a usb connection on the powered mirrors (anti glare or rain/light sensors so that these can have a small cable to power them and keep them charged.

None available near Swansea and no home delivery :disappointed:

Nice!

reserved two at different locations and one doesnt have it in stock and the display model is broken

the other one is a display model. Might see if its any good.

I have the 119a, brilliant, day and night

Never thought I'd see those in the same sentence....

Great value at this price. Techmoan has a full in-depth review of this model on Youtube.

Get one of these, much better as a dash cam that can be positioned so discreetly that it doesn't need removing constantly for the fear of theft.
Needs to be set up on a pc, or the app might be able to do that now, but it's brilliant and have one in each of our cars tucked away under the rear view mirror. Can't even see it from outside the car.
Cost is about the same as one of these too.

Basingstoke has stock in store and on display but too far away for me but might help someone else

Stock looks like a pain, great price if you are lucky to have it locally.

For quality this is a great dashcam, what makes it really strong though is it's size. It fits snugly behind my rearview mirror, and most people do not even notice it.

I wired the cable under the trim, down my driver door within the rubber door seal, and then under the carmat and into my charger - again a really neat way of dealign wtih it. The only bit of wire you see is a small section leading from my rearview into the ceiling trim.

What do you have yours mounted with?

​reserved two in Tamworth

I just bought a magnet phone holder off eBay. Stuck one part of it to the camera holder, and the other to the underside of the mirror. Looks like magnetic holders are now available through mobius themselves.
On my wife's car, i had to get the windscreen holder as the underside of the rear view mirror wasn't flat enough for a magnet to stick to it.
Can't see either of them from outside the car.

I have one in each car, excellent!!

None in u.k.

You must hate bluray playback.

This is a great dashcam in my opinion. I have three of them. A front and rear facing in car and one in van. I have never removed them and not had any problems, front being located just left of rear view mirror.

With regards to the date, if I don't use a vehicle for a few days to a week then the date will reset. I believe this is not an issue on the newer version as it has a battery while this one does not. It is the only downside but it's not often I have this gap in usage.

I have all wires hidden in the lining and the two in car have been wired into fuse box so come on with ignition. Very easy and straightforward to do.

​Hi, just wanted to check that you are definitely using a 64gb memory card?

The reason I ask is Transcend quotes this as having a maximum capacity of 32gb. I even contacted them as I wanted to use a larger capacity memory card but they told me I would be unable to.

It's because they will have down that it takes SDHC cards which only go up to 32GB, that doesn't mean that it won't take SDXC cards which go a lot bigger.

Thanks so much had the Drive Pro 200, very happy but at £70 I couldn't resit upgrading to the 520. I can confirm Clacton does not have any stock left of any model.

No stock left

Nobody mentioned that it has wifi and comes with a 16Gb memory card?
Quite tempting but the nearest branch with stock is 40 miles away.

Essential bit of kit, had mine for over 2 years being used almost every day. The video and sound quality are excellent when exported to your PC, do not go for a cheaper alternative!

EXCELLENT! i can speed up to force an issue out of something that was never going to be a problem

apart from the fuse box thing above how would you use 2 in one car with only one 12v socket?

We have 2 and with no problems whatsoever

Rubbish stock levels :neutral_face:

Will probably get shot down in flames for suggesting ordering from China but I bought this one http://www.banggood.com/Novatek-96650-G50-Full-HD-1080P-Mini-Car-DVR-Recorder-G-Sensor-p-935390.html for approx £32.00 delivered.
It was delivered in 10 days and the image quality is very good, moving number plates can be read by pausing the video. There are plenty of videos of this camera on you tube, it's a generic Novatek G50.

Thanks for the post. I've just reserved a 520 for collection in my local store.

​That would depend on the car. Some larger cars have cigarette lighter sockets in the boot so the rear facing camera could be plugged in there. It would also depend on whether or not the socket is activated with ignition or if it's always on. If you have a car where the sockets go off and on with the ignition then your life is a lot easier.

You can also get adaptors for the sockets so you can plug more than one in if required.

I started off with only a forward facing camera but I soon realised that a lot of issues were happening behind me.

thanks 220 pro is the best one i ordered

Am I missing something, I bought a dashcam 12 months ago, it has full HD 1080p at 30 fps & was half this price. It has a capacitor so when turned off it doesn't lose anything. The picture quality is great, so much so that I run it at 720 for a great picture & longer use of the card.

Halfords pricematch?

I hardwired mine in, I dismantled an old cheap 12v-5vdc cigarette socket Usb charger and wired that circuit board direct to my reactive rear view mirror circuit (fuse protected) and plugged the camera cable into that and tucked away in my rear view mirror trim. No nasty wires hanging down.

Excellent spot this - I have a pair of Kehans (front and rear) in my main car, and Transcend 200 in my MX5. Have been waiting for a deal on the 520 so I can do front/rear in the MX5; hard to do the rear when there is no back window with the roof off. And there's no point in driving it with the roof on :smiley:

Big thumbs up to the post with the other cameras on

Bought one so I can post on youtube as I floor it through roundabouts and blare my horn. :wink:

No stock anywhere.

Dead deal.

I prefer lithium as if you do have an accident and the engine/power cuts or you simply switch it all off the battery will keep the dashcam running for a while allowing you to keep recording for a bit or reinstate power to carry on recording.

I've tried a capacitor version of a popular dashcam and could not get past the immediate shutdown upon even momentary power loss.

There was plenty of stock for the first few hours of the deal... you snooze... etc etc...

Bought one from Currys in Scarborough. Has WiFi and 16GB micro sd card. Updated firmware available on transcend website which takes it to v.2.3. App available on play store however extremly poor design and crashing often - tested on two phones. Currently have g1wh will try to do some side by side comparison. Was tempted to go with 220 but according to reviews is packed with features but optics are slightly worst than 200. Will report back my findings

​I bought a 12v socket multi plug for my car so that I can use the sat nav when necessary with the dash cam too. Hid that under the glove box and you wouldn't know it's there.

Also my car lighter socket was always powered but I dismantled the console around the lighter socket - and the wire behind it had an ignition live loom taped up from the factory, which was handy and worth checking if you don't want it constantly on even when car is not in use

Just reserved 1 in Torquay, also showing in stock in Plymouth.

No Stock within 50 mile radius of Northamptonshire :disappointed:

Nothing wrong with the Chinese cameras, in fact I have one now but the concern is if there is an accident, I'd always have a niggle that would the quality be ok or would it be valid video. And I think for the peace of mind, I would rather a branded product - if this Transcend failed, you would storm into the local branch and cause a scene. I'm not saying that would solve anything but you just feel a little safer with a big brand behind you.

I'd urge everyone with this camera to regularly check it is working. I had a crash and there was no footage of it. (There was footage of bits after the crash) When I looked at the SD card there was loads of missing trips. I upgraded the firmware, put a new card in and now find there are files that can't be read. I've contacted the manufacturer and being ignored.I WOUDLN'T BUY ONE now

I am looking for a dashcam with speed camera alerts. My car has GPS but doesn't do speed camera warning.
Anyone have any links or recomendations.

Would installing this reduce my insurance premium considerably?

No not all insurance companies acknowledge the dash cam as a value add

Download Waze on your mobile and use it. Brilliant App, even if you dont want to use it to navigate just use it for speed camera alerts

Just reserved one in Colchester :-))

They have stock in Barrow-In-Furness if that's the UK.

Maybe handy for anyone in the Lake district this weekend.

the price of the Mobius seems to have gone through the roof, used to be about £45 and now it's about 70 something, I've no idea why that is. I might have my facts wrong.

I think the world gone mad, who in their right mind would invent a dashcam which is large and obvious that you have to take out every single time. I would think there would be a huge market for concealed dashcams. Apparently it's better to have something extra to carry every single trip to and from the car. I don't know why am writing like this it's not that much of a big deal of course.

One in stock in Taunton right now.

I also got a cheap one from china, mine was one of the early sub £30 G1WH clones with the original chipsets (Novatek 96650 and AR0330 sensor), and is still working fine three years later, so must have been one of the better built copies, picture is excellent and genuinely 1080p, although it could now do with a new battery soldering in. The manufacturer of mine have since substituted a cheaper inferior chipset in their new g1wh(t) model, which is still being sold as a g1wh, so you do have to be careful when buying from china.

canary wharf has stock for collection in London. wasn't interested in this until the review showed it has wifi

Now this price on Amazon if anyone is still looking for one.

don't think so

It was, but has now gone up in price.
