Same 😂😂

“Utube”

same

Your not alone, lol.

Lmfao 🤣 I wasn’t the only one

Route in your headliner, down the windows, under the floor mats

Use duct tape.

@@chrissibersky4617 lol

Just installed a very similar mirror dash cam in my Dodge Caravan yesterday, hiding the wires was easy with the included tool. The wires easily slid behind the edges of panels and under door gaskets,etc.

@@Cristofre Yeah. it ended up being very easy.

Thanks for the information I was trying to find out about the speed

That would certainly help, and yes the angle is much wider. But it's effectiveness as a total replacement for your rear view mirror depends on where you mount the camera.

@Coolride17 Thanks for the input my man. Someone mentioned to me the same thing on another vid.

KookiDowg they just came out with VanTop h612t newest one with sony 415 sensor .get the new one

H610 is sold at $99.99 and with $10 off coupon usually.

You just need to mount the rear camera upside down.

You can remove the camera from the mount and flip it over and re-attach it so it will fit correctly.

Yes if you turn off the screen, it will still record. There isn't any indication that it is recording though if the screen is off. If you have the reverse wire attached to the reverse light wire, it will show the reverse screen even if the screen was off.

@@BudgetNerd Thanks a lot!

Stop is always there.

This one does that.

Actually, I just re-watched the video. You said it is 10 minutes.

Buy a new Dash Cam lol. The Files are on the Micro SD card only.

Yeah you can just turn the screen off.

Will it still be recording?? Just asked this on another comment but this question better fits to what I’m wondering?!

I worked fine for me at night, but I can't comment on the tinted windows part. My car doesn't have tinted windows.

If the camera is mounted so it’s not looking through any tint, like outside, or remove a small amount of tint if you want to mount it inside, it will be fine.

The internal battery might be dead. Might contact their support.

It was pretty long. Not sure exactly how long.

If you still need help, I can show you. Just inbox me and I’ll send you a video. Are you talking about mounting it or something else.

If the screen has just timed out and it was recording when it was on, yes it will keep recording.

So if you press the button off, it will stop recording? I had the same question lol. For the screen to time out, how long does that take ?

It'll show the reverse camera as much as you want. Power it with the cigarette lighter. Just unplug it when not in use.

@@BudgetNerd thanks I solved the issue as the replacement camera was not compatible. tried a new one and everything works. thanks

Companies want you to buy their hardware kit for an additional charge. VanTop is no exception! It runs about $20 for $3 of hardware and wire.

Not endlessly while parked

@@BudgetNerd -_-

I know.. I know..

Lmao yup

The reverse camera still works without wiring the reverse lights, but it won't auto switch to reverse when in reverse, and you won't see the reverse guides (the effectiveness of those reverse guides is debatable). The biggest reason I ended up not being able to find a spot in the back was because I couldn't find a good way to route the wire. Didn't want to drill a hole... or that sort of thing.

@@BudgetNerd I feel you on the drilling. Can you elaborate abit more with your experience using the reverse guide line?

Oh they don't turn or move at all. They are static. If your camera is mounted at a bad angle or in a terrible place, they won't line up or help at all. Dunno, I just don't find them to be very helpful.

From what I can tell, the yellow light means the g sensor was tripped and that's what caused it to start recording.

I'm not sure if a 3rd party rear camera would be compatible. It would have to at least have the 1/8 Jack the vantop uses.. but then, even if it does, there is no quarantee the vantop would even understand the signal.

@@BudgetNerd Got it , Thank you very much !

If you wire it so it will automatically switch to rear view when you put it in reverse, it will show the rear camera. You might be able to change it, but not sure. Don't have it anymore.

Not sure how having it without it doubling as a mirror would be illegal. Are commercial trucks that can't see out the back with a rearview mirror breaking the law in Wisconsin?

It shouldn't be illegal. The new corvette has this, and its stock.

@@deathbymonkies2305 Maybe I should just buy the new Corvette and not worry about installing it myself. hahaha

Uses both. You can swipe to change which one you see, or see both.

I don't think the battery is replaceable.

You can change the fps to 30, 15 or 7ish fps if I recall to save space on your ad card if need be. Your playback should reflect whatever setting you choose.

Possibly, there are a few "if's." If your cigarette lighter provides power even when your cat is turned off, and if you leave your car unused for a long enough period of time, it could drain your battery.

It actually doesn't vibrate much at all. I thought it would do it more, but it was minimal.

Yeah. If you angle it to act as a mirror when the screen is off, then sometimes they screen and reflection can both be seen and it's a bit annoying.

@@BudgetNerd Its really annoying. Guess I have to purposely angle the mirror lower toward the backseats to avoid seeing the back windshield and duck my head down when I need to use the actual mirror when its extremely bright..thanks for the response

You don't have to connect the red reverse sensor. You could manually change to reverse if you would like.

You can also change the "Streaming Media" setting to one and it will default to the Rear View Cam, so as soon as it powers on, it will always go to the Rear Facing Camera View :)

You could unplug everything from the camera and then plug it back in to see if the fixes the screen. If it doesn't, then you might need to contact VanTop support. Are you having the dash cam do the formatting? If you are, you could have a computer format the card, or perhaps try another card.

Yes

There wasn't a setting. I'm pretty sure it was because my cig lighter in my car always gives power, and as long as the camera is getting power, it records.

@@BudgetNerd ok I see thanks for responding..

@@BudgetNerd just to make sure I understood correctly, this did not kill your battery right? Mine always keeps it on as well

It didn't destroy the battery, but it did drain it enough where the car wouldn't start. Once charged, the battery was fine.

There are other ways to power it, but the only official way is the cig lighter..

I'm sure you can view them on a mac.

You could use it as a backup camera of sorts without a sd card, but you couldn't record anything.

Class 10 or faster MicroSD

@@BudgetNerd i keep buying and they keep saying the same this the last one I bought is class 10 and also micro SS but for some reason it keep saying it’s too slow so far I have tried 3 different so far and nothing works so far 🥲

Good question. That would be nice to know..

They all outsource the one maker. So they only have one factory manufacturing all these one kind of dashcams then their labelling department puts different brand name then ships them orders to the buyer companies then them companies sells it to us. I learn this first hand when I worked at a cd/dvd/memory card manufacturing plant in Taiwan years back. The plant is independent and not owned by any of this companies I'm gonna mention. From one raw materials we mold, die coat and bond them dvd then after that, we have a batch of made products like Memorex, verbatim, Sony, Maxwell etc! So funny. Guess what at that time the difference between them when we make em? The quality checks. So actually them dvds are just the same. Only for example if make say 1 million batch of Sony DVDs, our supervisor will be always reminding us to quality check the product as it runs to the robots twice per hour while say Memorex brand only once per hour.

figured I oughtta replay, I ended up purchasing a few Akaso DL9 cams and they work great, have terrific resolution. But I took my chance on a cheaper clone of it, and it was horrible. Image quality comparable to early 2000's flip phone cameras. Almost looked like a picture in 16 bit resolution. Kind of cartoonish. Was terrible. Ended up returning it to the seller as it did not match description. Even the menu choices and overall UI was different than pictured. So beware of cheapo ones. I'll be purchasing a VanTop H610 for my next go-around, as they can still be had for $100 and the Akaso DL12 (which replaced the DL9) jumped from $100 to $150 due to Covid. Fun fact, the Akaso DL12 has the exact same interface as this Vantop H610, whereas the DL9 was different, and offered fewer settings.

What do mean by raw image? And what do you mean by mirror image?

@@BudgetNerd when you look in a rearview mirror, the image is reversed. On the VanTop, the image is not reversed like a mirror.

Ah.. I don't think there was an option to change that, that I recall.

@@technologit376 You have the Rear View camera installed upside down.

The Micro-SD card goes in facing you.

You have to run the Red Wire to the Power Wire on one of your Reverse Lights(White Back-Up Lights). That's the only way to get the Parking aid Assist.
