You unplug v9 power cable MA. If you never unplug, maybe cannot start due to battery drain Lao lor.

Hi anyone encounter their V9 camera not recording any sound even u did not mute it.. Because normally I will mute the camera sound because of some personal reasons.. Recently I turn the recording sound back and I look back through the videos and sound was not recorded though.

This is what happens when I request to relocate my rear cam. Sianzzz...

Not sure if Rikecool can do anything to remedy this. 

 

Thanks for the warning.

 

I've been wanting to move my rear cam up an inch, but my installer refused to do it.  Now I see why!!

I have followed this method to relocate my dash cams. Just take time and patience. For stubborn sticky residues, just "soak" it with isopropyl alcohol for a little while and it should rub off.

I use the red Scotch permanent clear mounting tape to remount the dash cams.

Yes, you are right.

 

Hence, I was always doubt this parking mode when it shutdown upon hitting certain voltage.

 

Theoretically, it shouldn't drain off the battery if you were to left your car for 4 to 5 days.

Anybody on iroad T10 and the screen and audio suddenly become all korean?

I have IROAD V9 S2. I bought 64GB SD card to replace the one provided. What do i need to do to prepare the card before i insert into the DASHCAM. ? 

Has anybody tried the ADAS on this cam ?

 

 

 

[Kopites]

Mine iroad v7 everyday without fail reboot at 6.50p. Maybe plus minus one two minutes off.

 

Every 5/6 hrs it will shut down. Auto reboot everytime I start the car.

 

So far so good. Finger cross.

 

My setting was done by the shop. Don't dare to touch the setting again after my last ordeal.

Just put it in. The camera will do the rest. Don’t bother using a computer to format it.

For stop-start equipped car, setting it below high 12v means your car cam is likely to turn itself off at traffic light when the alternator stop working.  :-(

 

[Correcting above statement]

 

Sorry but above is not true.  As long as there is power supplied to the ACC cable, the Q9 knows it should continue to operate.

 

That means for start-stop equipped cars, having the engine temporarily stopped at traffic light will not turn off the cam even even though the stopped voltage is lower then the set minimum voltage. 

 

Well, at least for the iRoad in my car.  I have set my minimum to 12.3V but at traffic light with the engine off the voltage often drops to only 12.2V but the cam continues to operate.  Parked, with ignition off, the cam will shut down at 12.3V.

I am using t10 and considering to install a power bank so that the cam can continue recording after switch off the engine.

 

is there anyone using power bank?

Please install those power pack from a good known source which can withstand the heat in the car when park under hot sun else you may end up burning your car. For example you can consider the power pack from Iroad or cellink. Don't just buy those normal power bank from TB or Qoo as they're not tested to withstand the high temperature in the car under hot sun.

 

Actually it's the type of battery cells that are used in the power bank that's important.

am looking at iroad power bank that cost around $340 and can operate for 35hrs.

 

my car came along with 5 yrs warranty and servicing package (battery included), therefore a power bank with relay setting

is needed to avoid carcam power source tap directly to the car battery.

Iroad powerbank taps the fuse box.  There is http://www.blackvue.com.sg/cellink-b-battery.html which has the option to plug into cigar jack.

 

Not sure how relay comes into play though.

thanks for your info.

 

need to check with the installer during installation. they did mentioned that the charging will be drawing power from alternator when engine on, and carcam draw power from power bank when engine off. I may need to check with them on the circuit diagram.

It's kind of dangerous if you were to park your car under the hot sun or open car park with power bank operating.

Taping fuse box with piggy back fuse when done properly should be safe as that's one the methods recommended by most dash cam makers. For added safety for the battery pack to fuse box connection, you can change the 20A fuse in the provided iroad piggyback fuse holder to 10A

 

This link has detailed information on how to add a circuit to your car. There are more circuit diagrams at step 3 > "Show All 11 Items" there.

 

Below videos show the practical side of tapping fuse box.

Try not to splice or tap any existing wires if you're really concerned about warranty. The safest is to get those battery pack charged by cigar jack though.
