Comment on The Truth About Dash Cams! [18:16 | MAR 16 2025 | Project Farm]

  My information is a bit limited. From my own personal experience, there seem to be quite a bunch of Chinese made dashcam-intercom devices, which seem to be based off of the same SOC, which seems to be pretty dated.

  As much as I don’t like this guy, he makes a decent summary here. And yeah, these comments apply to motorbike dashcams, too, because it’s also the same damn power-on sound and folder structure mentioned in the video, always. It’s just, for motorbike ones, on the same battery there’s a second independent circuit hooked for bluetooth/intercom functions. Other than that, it seems to be the same as for cars. i’d like to see some review/analysis about all of these, to see if any of them is truly different/better.

  For what’s worth, I’ve been using Freedconn ones on different series (R1, R1-plus, R3). The latest one, R3, claims to record at 4K, and the image is a bit sharper, but I’m not sure if the sensor is really 4K-worth of sharpness. At least it’s clear enough to view acceptably the license plates in night conditions, for which the R1 series were not (maybe okayish in well lit city areas, definitely not on the road). I’ve been buying these because I’m happy with the bluetooth/intercomm, and wanted to change only one at a time, while keeping compatibility with my gf’s one without having to replace both at once. I’d still be happy to check something else if it was better clearer picture, specially in the night.

    Yeah, Linus left a bad taste in many who followed what Gamers Nexus (and Louis Rossmann) exposed and brought to light about Linus’s company and work ethic.

    Thanks for taking the time and explaining your knowledge with the cameras and for informing us on what you use!
