@AlexAutoFun

3 ай бұрын

Hi Amit! While I haven't measured it, to get you an idea, a two channel dash cam will fit about a 5-7 hours on a 64GB memory card, so you can imagine that a 128Gb memory would double that (10-17 hrs approx.) Now since this is a 3 channel dash cam, I would guess probably be 8-12hrs. Just keep in mind that this will also be affected by the number of locked files you have on the dash cam which reduce the useable space. Now because memory is cheap this days, what I recommend is to just buy the largest memory card that you can afford instead of trying to calculate how much a smaller memory can fit LOL This case it would be the 256Gb. Cheers!

The bump on the power cord isn't the only potential problem with this mirror cam. Seeing the "built-in" GPS is on the power cord, the only way this mirror is able to utilize it is if the parking monitor feature is disabled.

Hi Tay ler! Very good question! Nope, while I have removed or moved ferrites in the past, the effects of moving the ferrite or deleting it can not be known without extensive testing (unfortunately, I'm not an E.E. so I don't have the knowledge or equipment to conduct the testing). Additionally, there is the warranty aspect to consider if the dash cam is modified. This is why I think it be great if Rexing can eliminate or move the ferrite on their side as opposed to us having to decide if it's ok to do so (both short term and long term for the dash cam and for devices near it since some ferrites are meant to keep interference from affecting others devices in the vicinity or in line with the device that uses it) Hope this helps, Cheers!

@@tayler2396 Hi Tay ler! The M3 has recently been upgraded, the ferrite core has been eliminated and it can now be hardwired along with retaining the GPS capability, link to the dash cam in the video description. Cheers!

Can I just cut the cigarette lighter plug off and run power to intermittent power fuse as well as black wire to ground? OR maybe wire a cigarette lighter plug from the fuse box and plug the M3 cigarette lighter plug into it?

@AlexAutoFun

Hi Mike! Nope, remember the cigarette lighter plug is a power adapter to lower the voltage to the dash cam requirement, so the dash cam cannot be connected directly to the car's 12VDC. That being said, if the electronics from the cigarette adapter are retained it could potentially work if those were wired to the car directly, however at that point, I would just prefer to wire a hardwire kit instead since the hardwire kit enables parking mode and also low voltage protection (but the unfortunate part is that Rexing has not released an official hardwire kit for this dash cam) Cheers!

@AlexAutoFun ok ill run a female cigarette lighter plug from the fuse block and see if that works. I already have a intelligent hardwire kit for my m2. Funny thing. M2 has a mini usb plug for power than the Max stepped up to current times came out using the Type C plug then the M3 went backwards back to the mini USB again. Very wierd

Hi auto fun. I I need to purchase a rear view camera With parking assist (lines that pop up when you go in reverse). The dream system would allow me to add 2 more cameras for my side mirrors with 2 separate small screens in the future, but that's not important right now. Can you please give me the link to your video that shows the best rear camera with parking assist In your opinion so I can click on your Amazon link and purchase it as soon as possible. I have a Ford cargo Van that's extended and I need your help. Please and thank you.

If we record all 3 cams same time. How long we can record and how often have to clean the memory card? Thanks forbthenvideo

@AlexAutoFun

Жыл бұрын

Hi Ba Bu! The maximum amount of time you can record will be determined by the size of the memory card that is loaded, the resolution setting and if you have any "flagged videos" of car crashes (those by default will not be deleted by Dash Cams, they require manual deletion). Dash Cams use something called Loop Recording, once the memory card is full, the oldest videos are overwritten by new video (loop recording). Hope this helps. Cheers

If you don't mind, please include (screen) display resolutions for mirror dash cams and other dash cams with live screens. I emailed rexing and inquired, to which they replied "the M3's display resolution is 1920*380 on a 12" IPS display." From reading the reply, as you can see, the screens LCD panel resolution itself (not the dashcams footage resolution), is very low quality in terms of cosmetic appeal. The screen is also dim and does not look modern while on. Which doesn't look similar to other conventional screens, such as car infotainment screen displays since the resolution is too low.

@AlexAutoFun

4 ай бұрын

Hi Whaitisnt! The resolution of the display is sometimes available, but sometimes it's not shared by the dash cam brand, but I can try to ask if it helps you on your search. So far the highest resolution I found on mirror dash cam's (LCD panel resolution) is the G900 with it's resolution of 1920x440 Here is the full review for it kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4J_mNejorq9m6Q.html Regarding cosmetic appeal, I think mirror dash cams are definitely not for everyone, some people love them (like myself) and some people can't stand them (I had to remove a few from people who tried them and decided a normal dash cam would work best for them, not an easy decision considering the cost to pay an installer to install a mirror dash cam then remove it and pay for again to install a traditional dash cam). And I have more reviews for traditional dash cams on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like try one of those instead. Cheers!

@@AlexAutoFun yea the customer support agent didn't even know the answer since he's said he's never gotten that question lol. Regarding the LCD panel resolution, I would think people like me usually purchase mirror dash cams mainly since it modernizes cars similar to apple car play infotainment systems. Which is a major understatement. I have no idea why it's not conventionally included in the specs and description. Apple lists panel screen resolutions for all of its devices and is mainly considered from a consumer standpoint when purchasing an Iphone. Thanks to OLED. Back to the M3, again it's display resolution is very lackluster. If I may ask, is the G900 the highest LCD panel resolution, of the dash cams you've reviewed, or is the highest for mirror dashcams?

@AlexAutoFun

4 ай бұрын

@@whatitisnt. LOL Yeah, dash cams have become increasingly reliant on features over specs, something discussed by Linus in his famous dash cam video now, and he is right, the dash cam industry has not advanced at the level that other electronics like cell phones or TV have. The largest technological leap we seen recently has been the introduction of Starvis 2 (which is a huge leap but also means it will likely be another decade for the next leap considering Starvis 1 came out around 2014) But yes regarding display resolution G900 is the highest of the dash cams I have test (over 60 something dash cams combined) now not all of them are mirror dash cams and with what seems to be a new mirror dash cam coming out every month keeping up with them has been challenging. But as far as the display resolution I don't see one with higher res coming out anytime now (I usually get insider tips about new products way before they come out). I think specially because the industry may feel the demand is not there. While the G900 is successful, the T10 and the G840 have been extremely popular, so the challenge is that other brands are seeing the same with customers leaning towards the more affordable items and a very small subset of their customers for the higher end ones (dash cam industry). But I do ever find another one with higher res I will update this comment for you. Cheers!

Hi Daniel! Ah, that's a good question that I get often. I think it's depends on what you are looking for in a mirror dash cam. I run different ones on my cars, so what I usually tell people looking for the right dash cam for them is to start by picking how many cameras does it need to have (2 or 3). Now that you have narrowed your selections, consider how much you want to spend on one, that will narrow your choices even further. Then consider any special features you are looking for such as 360° video, Side Camera, Detached Cameras, Wi-Fi, Blind Spot Warning, Auto Brightness, Back up to SSD, Direct Fit Ready, Parking monitor without hardwire Etc. Finally, you would want to compare the video quality of your final choices. And I just began working on a video to compare my top picks for different categories, Stay tuned, Cheers!
