draws too much power in packing modeReviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021
I did not hear reviewers ever mentioned how much this device takes power in the parking mode.I can tell that S1 model takes a lot of energy ( it interferes with a remote key).It is very easy to see by how dramatically a distance for the remote is reduced when S1 is in parking mode.Try for yourself to lock/unlock door when S1 is off and then when it is in the parking mode.I am talking about a brand new car with absolutely new batteries.This is close to be unacceptable. I am not sure whether I am going to keep my Vantrue S1 4k.Video quality is not great. It would be really hard to read some number of a vehicle if needed.With dual cams there is a very light dragging, seems it drops some frames (that is a very minor issue).Rear camera cable is too thick (this could be a problem in some cases).I expected by far more, especially I did not expect any interference with the remote key.Update:Now, forget what I said above:)It can eat power like crazy, but there are three modes for parking mode.Option one to turn off motion mode.two, use low power mode.I have connected it through ODB connector which has a switch between ACC and surveillance modes.This gives an option to keep dash cam off if needed without turning it off or disconnecting.More room for improvement:The speed calculation is not correct most of the time.It is usually +1 or 2 mph. Driving with cruise control at 65 reported on videos as 65, 66, 67 mph.I was reviewing videos and found one when car was parked in garage, however the speed kept jumping between 0 to 5 mph.This is not a good product at all. The speed report is very crucial , I simply cannot rely of this piece of plastic.Another advice - include in the package a hardwire with ODBC connection switching between ACC and surveillance modes.This would the most universal approach for installation since you get the same quality as connecting it to fuses box plus there is an option for manual switching between ACC and surveillance modes(when connected to fuses directly there is no such option)
