Anyone knows what brand is C&C ES800 DVR?

[Penyekz]

Just ordered an A180 and SE included the ES800 DVR. Anyone knows what make this DVR is?

 

Hopefully, it is a reliable make and model and comparable to Blackvue.

Thanks for the reply. Any bros have this installed? is it good enough?

[tzehou]

Ok lah. Depends on what you need. But for average day driving, good enough. But comes to night time, see the number plates might be a little bit more challenging.

But the price is not worth it

You can see specification here:

unless it is free, it is not worth it.

I recently replaced my 3 year old Blackvue 350 with iROAD  Cost:$240 + $27 (GPS) + $20 constant power which is not needed

I was seeking for a good 2CH model for many years and finally found one. 

Pro:

• build in power cut off (no need for constant power but I installed it anyway)
• 60 FPS (30 front, 30 back)
• GPS for Speed and Location 
• Over Heating auto cut off and turn on

cons:

• Time stamp recording does not use GPS locational time
• form factor (prefer like blackvue so that the lens are as close to the windscreen as possible
• image is average (sharpness/ focus) due to window tint'
• no replay screen but it does not matter to me
• GPS is not build in

Installation $135 (but I DIY)

 

DIY process

Constant power cut off if less than 12v

using a multimeter select the fuse in the rear fuse box to tab into

Engine should remain off and look for a fuse that has power of 12v

install constant power in the rear fuse box. Selected fuse 71 (cig) for ACC and fuse 74 (keyless go) for constant power

Attached the ground cable.

 

Grab the power cable and lay the line from the front windscreen skirting along the rubber seal of the door to the rear seat.

Pull the wire into the boot and connect it to the constant power supply

 

For rest it is easy for rear camera and GPS

 

so for less than $300 you can get a 2 CH DVR 24/7 monitoring

I just got my E and it comes with it too

 

Anyone know is this cam record both front and back or just front recording ?

 

Thanks

[Penyekz]

Just got my A180. It records in front only. There is a small screen which cannot be turned off permanently - it turns on everytime car switched on and need to turn off manually. Looks kinda like ones used by cheapo taxis. Not like blackvue I DIY installed in my E.

 

Quality wise it is FHD and seems good. Comes with GPS. I think I will leave it as its fit for purpose.

Thank you for sharing such information.

 

U collected your NEW C180... nice.  Enjoy

 

Oh u used to have BlackVue ?  When I was doing research, I was thinking the same.  If the free one from C&C NO good, I will take it down and install BlackVue which comes with front and back recording.

 

But apparently, it didn't look too ugly, too bulky and so far , still serving me well.

 

Hey don't need to turn off manually.  When u off the car, it will go off mah, didn't it ?

[steven77]

Has anybody tried using the Cansonic Player that was on the in-car DVR CD supplied by C&C? I tried using it and the program freezes up everytime...

[kellogs]

I have not installed the software yet but i have been searching for another back and front cameras for replacement ... ones that without the need to use the car battery at all.

Yes the unit does turn off when car switch off. what is annoying is the lcd screen turns on everytime the car is turned on. and if you want it off, you need to turn the screen on manually each time.

 

apart from that, its fit for purpose. i will most probably live with this unit instead of changing to something like blackvue

Be careful about the dvr provided by C&C. My battery went flat after 18 months and the problem was attributable to a faulty cable which caused the battery to discharge after the car shut down.

[will04]

just installed back an old Caidrox 3000 2CH camera which i kept it in the boot for 1 yr after uninstalling from my dad's car. Although it's not FHD but serves it's purpose.

 

Will need an advice here, do the DVRs consume alot of power? Cos during 60K servicing at C&C, they mentioned my battery was good but as it's 2yrs 9mths old, recommend to change the battery. Even Chip Soon did a battery test for me and reading was Good and Life was @ 95%. So should I change the battery or continue using the current battery?

Why am I not surprised?

My car battery died recently, was sent in 3 days for assessment and they couldn't have a conclusive view on the cause (changed the reasons). Eventually changed the battery for $540. I suggest you rely on external advice.
