LAPSE RECORD looks like it records timelapses, 5 frames per second, 1 frame per second etc. Good feature for vloggers or if you make videos from your car, you can do nice timelapse videos while driving, pretty cool feature :)) Ok he later explained it is also for security :D

Thank you for your video - FWIW - For those considering purchasing this unit - I've purchased one of these Seicane Dashcam/Apple Carplay units, and have installed it in my car. I would say, I have very mixed feelings. After the initial few days of playing with the unit, powering it from the cigarette lighter power, I opted to hardwire it using the provided 3A power adapter. Pretty straight forward install, and I KNOW I've installed it correctly. So here is my feedback: 1. The units feels solid to touch and the display has a good appearance and feel. I like the IDEA of this product, but it has several flaws! 1. even if you mount it sold, it still shakes while you're driving. I fixed this shaking by building a simple block on my 3D printer and stuffing it between the display and the mount from the back (so you don't see it from the front). 2. Audio pass through quality sucks! I've connected my iPhone wirelessly to the Seicane unit, and from there, there is a cable going from Seicane to my car stereo through the Aux input. Comparing the pass through quality to simple direct bluetooth connectivity to my car stereo, I would say Seicane quality is awful. I am willing to tolerate 1 and 2, but then there is 3. Every time I turn off my car, and turn it back on again, I have to do a hard power down on the Seicane unit (holding the power button at the top of the unit for a few seconds), then power up the unit!!! To me, this is the deal breaker! This brings me to 4. AWFUL tech support!!! I've reached out to Seicane, and they have responded quickly (within 24 hours), BUT the quality of support is really really really BAD! After a few emails going back and forth, they came back with requiring me to do a firmware upgrade. I have no problem with this, BUT the documentation they have provided and the video makes you laugh and cry at the same time! First of all, everything is in Chinese (at least all the important stuff). They have also provided an .mp4 video to download, which is supposed to help! The video is absolute utter rubbish! I am really disappointed with Seicane!

Why does the full screen looks stretched? I think there is another setting that needs to be done on the phone side or so. Too bad it doesn't have BT out but for the price I guess. How is the audio quality? Is it stereo? I heard about this product a couple of months ago but held off on it even though it's only $100.
@pistonbroke
@pistonbroke Жыл бұрын
I don't know why it's stretched, I don't use full screen anyway. Audio quality is the same as an FM radio station and yes it's stereo. Don't be put off by the price, it's a lot of kit for the money and well worth it. Sure, there could be improvements but what do you want for only £80?

Yeah it's awful, I have a roadtop version and it doesn't happen, you can enter developer mode on Android auto on your phone and change the resolution but for some reason it doesn't work with this screen. TBH it's worth spending a bit more on something else unless we get an update

Hey Mate, How do calls work in terms of the microphone? What microphone does it use when using android auto?
@pistonbroke
@pistonbroke Жыл бұрын
There's a mic built into the screen so it will do calls and voice activation if you want to send or reply to a text. My phone is paired to both the screen and the car radio, the call comes up on the screen and I answer it with the radio. If the radio is not on aux or tuned in using the fm transmitter (depending on how you set it up) then there will be no sound during a call so that's why my phone is still paired to the car radio as well as the screen. Hope that makes sense. You could set the screen up to have the sound come out of the screen but the quality isn't good as it's only a small speaker.
@james684

But it should work better integrated in car though... then again not 1000 quid better :D and it won't be better for long. I think good idea might be to buy a unit designed specifically for your car model and which takes your car inputs and pay somebody to install it, if you yourself do not want to muck about with it, they make those in China too, probably will be lot less than 1000 quid at the end, not even 400 maybe, but then the question of quality is really important too

@@fastie-zn1ou DOwnload those files and read the instructions carefully. IMPORTANT NOTE. You install the firmware directly onto the micro sd card, not a USB stick. Once you install it and the unit finishes loading the green bar, then it turns off. MAKE SURE you turn it back on with the MICRO SD card inserted, and then go to settings (on the unit itself) to format the SD card to prepare for recording. do not take it out and format the SD card on your computer. It DOES NOT WORK like that for some reason. (if you do it like that, you end up in a installation loop)
