Yes, shows date and time in bottom right corner. Quality seems pretty good both day and night.

Also, you will need to purchase a SD card.

I love mine, very small (like a key fob) so portable too. Does Audio-Video in proper HD, storage, date-time, photos and very inconspicuous

Cant argue with the quality shown, how is it at night?

I don't want this to be a flame of Sprinters camera but I would choose mine over his for a number of reasons, a few of which are listed below:

The one I linked is full 1080p @ 30fps as opposed to the 720p Sprinter is using.
There does not appear to be a massive difference in general viewing but when it comes to detail and in particular Number plate reading I have to say that having 1080p really does give 720p a pasting.
The 3 second gap between record loopings would concern me.
Mine has a screen for playback, ideal to show at the roadside should it be required.
Mine has HDMI out for direct connection to TV's etc.

Yes mine is more expensive but not by much and worth the extra imo.


I have to remove the audio due to some of the colourful language. I can provide a clip with audio if it is required but will not post links on the forum.

Youtube's encoding doesn't help when streaming HD content (either 720 or 1080), therefore if anyone wants a clip emailed then im happy to do so.

Use the links and ensure you select 1080p as the playback option as it will more likely default to 480p (click the cog under the time in the video)

The first - selected to show colour and lighting along with detail (numberplates)

The second - is a ten min. video shot at night (I am yet to preview this video as it is still being processed)

Default Front facing cam

Hi Sprinter

How/where have you mounted your front facing camera?

I don't want to be messing around with windscreen mounts all the time so I thought about using the supplied velcro, but just where could it go (don't want to leave a nasty mark on my dash). Hoped I could velcro it somewhere up on the rear view mirror, but not sure.

Looking at their new model called the Mobius which is 1080p - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1510718913...84.m1423.l2648

Cheers

Andrew

See the link in my previous post, I have it mounted under the rear view mirror.
It's out of the way, no marks on the windscreen and doesn't need to be removed every time I get out of the car.
