As far as power usage, the IROAD X9 that I'm looking at is a low power unit when in parking mode and in the software you can set the unit to shut off if the battery gets to a certain level. It has the OBD power cable which is nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H4u0kEzlAU
He was talking about getting a 128GB MicroSD card for $32 CND. Which I will be getting, just not from the company that sells the unit as they charge $60 for it and I can get a SAMSUNG 128GB PRO Endurance (last longer) for $34 or a standard card like they sell at $60 for $20 from Newegg. |
The best thing about the 4K is being able to zoom in on licence plates from a further distance, I have had a few 1080 dash cams and you have to be pretty close to get a good licence plate reading. It has a thermal protection if it gets too hot. Haven’t had that happen yet but the max we get around here is 30 c and that is rare.
I chose the 1 ch because I couldn’t figure out a good spot to mount the rear
