I'm an avid dashcam video watcher. The quality of the videos on Roadcam vary quite a bit however whenever I see a good quality video I note down the dashcam. Unfortunately, YouTube compresses their videos so it's difficult to ascertain if the details are lost by the camera or in the uploaded video. This was the post that sold me on the B1W. The difficult lighting conditions were handled quite well by the B1W although without seeing the raw video hard to tell a comparison of licence plates.
I believe the Blueskysea B1W is the compromise between the cheap webcams (e.g. Xiaomi 70min/mai $40-$55and the more expensive quality ones (Viofo A119 Pro ~$133). Ranked #1 in cheap dashcams on Dashcamtalk (Discussion Thread)
Highlights:
- 1080p resolution at 30fps with a bit rate of 12Mbps.
- Sony IMX323 sensor.
- Novatek GM8135S processor
- No screen or GPS (settings adjusted with app).
- Uses capacitors instead of Lithium Ion batteries making it better for hot climates (hello Australian summer). Works up to 70c.
- Need to settle a road argument? Connect to the wi-fi and you can play the videos in seconds on your phone.
- Parking Mode (Triggered by G-sensor. When an impact is detected by the G-sensor, the camera starts video recording 30 seconds automatically. The hardwire kit needed for Parking Mode is not included in standard package, buyer needs to buy it separately.)
If you are looking for an affordable, discreet, Wifi enabled camera with good video quality, the Blueskysea B1W is a great choice. Since the camera does not have a screen you will need a smartphone to setup the camera using the available app.Overall one of the best bang for your buck cameras for 2018. Better video quality than the previous budget camera, the A118C. Only unknown is long term reliability. - Dashcam Talk -
Another YouTube Review
Selling for $80 on eBay, $100 on AliExpress, DealExtreme $71 and on Amazon AU for $80.
I contacted the rep on Amazon and got them to get the price down to $55.99 delivered. Their store is the AU division of their US store which has a lot more ratings. Apparently, it's the lowest price on any of their platforms and will be earning nothing on this as they want to establish their brand awareness/rankings in Australia. I guess it's known in US but fairly unknown in Australia. I bought it today (for $55.99) so should be here late this week or next so I can shoot some raw video if you want to see before purchasing. Code should expire July 15.
Order should look like this:
Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal: $79.99
Delivery: $5.99
Total: $85.98
Promotion(s) Applied: -$29.99
Grand Total: $55.99
Should say $24.00 Promotional balance when checking out.
