I received a 32GB card (which I don't use) with the camera, it isn't the high-endurance one, normal 400x red and black Transcend. These are MLC based cards and are highly recommended by the manufacturer, I'm using two 64GB ones for both the SG9665GC and the Mobius without any issues whatsoever. The GC's scores full points for reliablilty, not a single missed or corrupt recording till date. V3 will be out soon. Improvements are a better lens, notches on the lens housing to accomodate a CPL filter (which'll be included) and a pre-flipped GPS module with a shorter cable. | |

Yup, motion detect's known to cause such errors due to the poor implementation, it's been reported to be working way better for some folks with the A119. Personally if I'd want any kind of motion detect or parking mode function, my choices would be limited to cameras with proper motion-detect implementation and pre-buffered parking mode. Don't think it'll cost a lot more than the V2 due to the CPL as it's a mass produced version, the CPL isn't out yet but from what I've read, it shouldn't be more than $20. Again from what I've read on DCT there's a dual channel and a remote dual channel version under development, the dual channel will be out a lot sooner. | |

| Re: Street Guardian SG9665GC v2 Dashcam: Review & Install Fantastic review of a fantastic dashcam! Thank you for putting together such an extensive review with tons of comparision videos, detailed installation instructions etc.  When I was looking for a dashcam for my Polo GT TSi, I had the same priorities that you had. I had compared the A118, Mini 0806 and the SG9665. What made me choose the SG were:
I think SG could prove to be much more reliable than the others. With these positives, I think it is totally worth spending those extra bucks on the SG. Can you point me to the link from where I can download the latest firmware? I see that the latest firmware has speed information embedded in the video. My dashcam has an earlier firmware version that does not embed speed information. Last edited by graaja : 5th December 2016 at 08:28. |

| Re: Street Guardian SG9665GC v2 Dashcam: Review & Install Post cleaning the front windshield from the inside and the GC's CPL using a Lenspen a week or so back, the next day I'd noticed the VLT70 clear film was peeling off the glass from one of the top corners. The 3M SP70 had always appeared to have a very milky haze to it under white LED or T5 street lighting, the slight peeling gave me a strong urge to go park under a streetlight and check if the difference could be compared; through the inch of (now) exposed glass. Wasn't really surprised as I did expect a cleaner/clearer view but never expected the difference to be as drastic as it turned out to be. Guess what happened next?   Didn't look as dark as can be seen in the pictures above when I'd gotten it installed. The samples stuck on the dealer's office glass door (that sold me) also looked like a non-tinted clear film. Seriously confused about the shade of the film that's come off. Not too bummed as this is their inexpensive version. would it have been the CR70, that would've hurt. Since all the videos posted in this thread have been recorded whilst the 3M VLT70 clear film was installed on the front windshield, I'll be adding new videos with and without the CPL as the film has now been removed. New Videos without the 3M VLT70 film Firmware - Beta 27 1080p @ 30 FPS, WDR - on, Metering - centre, Contrast - medium, CPL - no. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vku50hu1sg...B27-1.mov?dl=0 Last edited by harsh79 : 20th December 2016 at 19:06. |

Hey graaja, I've never had vibration issues as I'd stuck one of the EVA foam pads supplied with the camera from the very first day to the mount. One pad should be enough to get the snug fit back. | |
