GARMIN DASH CAM 20 FREEZES PRO
GARMIN DASH CAM 20 FREEZES SOFTWARE

The DriveCam 76 now provides both front and rearward views and negates the need for the dashcam - a major tech and simplicity upgrade. At the same time, I was using a Vantrue Element 1 dash cam for forward observation and recording. I had previously installed the BC-50 on the back of the truck to go with my Garmin DriveSmart 66 GPS device that I specifically chose as it worked as both GPS and back-up camera on my very long and screenless, camera-less old pickup. I installed the DriveCam 76 in my crew-cab long-bed pickup truck. The device also recognizes voice commands, more on that in a minute. It can also work as a hands-free speaker for your phone via Bluetooth, and shows caller/contact information when connected, as well as working as a music controller. Notification preferences are all customizable in the unit’s setting menu. May be the card or the adapter or card slot in your laptop has an issue.Garmin also baked a lot of safety tech into the DriveCam 76, including lane departure warnings, forward collision warning and reminders about school zone speed limits, upcoming sharp curves, red light cameras, weather alerts and speed limit cameras. Point 4 also works always for all cards I have used. This port normally can supply 2amp of current. Can try other USB port, specially the one which can charge a phone, (sometimes even if laptop is powered down, newer laptops have this feature). Or, your laptop's USB port current supply may be less. Couple of reasons it may not work, either your dashcam is not switching to storage mode/not support it. Transfer time should be same as card reader. Though tried this method only once for 70mai, don't recall now, but some dashcam definitely supports it. Point 3 I think it works for me in 70Mai dashcam and previously in my Transcend dashcam. Better get a USB 3.0 (future proof ) card reader and copy. Not sure if your card reader is USB 1.0 (which is 12mbps max transfer speed).Ĭopying to mobile in any of the methods is way slower than using card reader.

Using specialized software to copy files, could bring down the time to ~4 hours. To copy 256gb (238gb actual) card it takes around 4~5 hours max. It's a USB 2.0 card reader (480mbps max speed). Use a microSD to SD card adaptor and then plug it to laptop directly. Connected the dash cam to my laptop directly (skipping the base, connected the camera directly using USB C cable) - as expected, its only powering ON the dash cam. Import to mobile phone using dashcam's wifi transfer feature (slow, and needs a lot of space in my mobile)ģ. Directly from MicroSD Card - using a card reader (too slow).Ģ. Any other means to get the videos into my laptop?ġ. My oooold card reader is too slow, its showing >1 day to copy the 107GB data.

I have used my dash cam in a recent trip to Kerala (attached it to the rental car using the electrostatic sticker). There is almost a 1k difference in price of A500s and Z40 Surprising that Amazon is charging more than Nexdigitron for the same item. So tending to settle for the Mola N3 with GPS but without RCam which is 7.7k on Amazon.

GPS is essential in the video feed, and CPL would be a great addition. I think that these would suit my requirements also but I don't see the need of rear camera.

I am not looking for anything fancy and my requirements areĪvailability of CPL filter tilts me towards DDPAI MOLA N3. Night time recording for rear ones are below average. Based on my research most dashcams in this range are just about average during night time and rear cams are mostly just to record an event. My need is purely to record in case anything untoward happens and some nice scenery during my trips especially during daytime. Should I consider any other models than the 3 short listed. Please let me know if my assessment is correct or are the other two better than MOLA N3. Besides all rear cams here are 1080 P resolution so will not make much of a difference.

This leave me with DDPAI MOLA N3 which has slightly lower resolution than the other two 2K and doesn't seem to have Sony sensors.Īvailability of CPL filter tilts me towards DDPAI MOLA N3. I do a lot of road travel and need to park under direct sunlight which heats up the car sooner and hence DDPAIs make more sense.
