Mobius Dashcam (on 24/7)

I assume it is definitely still powering on? Mine are a little picky with how long I take turning the key in the ignition.

Also, try applying the settings on the card again, just to be on the safe side :)

Well that's the thing, I used a OTG cable via the Mobius Android app - the saved the settings. I then disconnected the OTG cable, but DID not connect the power-USB lead, as by doing so if and when the ignition is turned on the Mobius would power on. But I had the turn the ignition on, just so I could turn the wipers on/off. None of the LED's turned on to suggest the Mobius starts via "motion detect".


HAve you considered loop recording?

HAve you considered loop recording?

Already set-up, for 5 minute clips

I'm probably being thick but I've seen more and more people getting dashcams recently following vandalism etc.

What I don't get is you wouldn't leave a sat nav out all night in plain sight, so what's stopping someone robbing the dashcam?

Get one that is as discrete as possible.

Exactly, that's what's so good about the Mobius. It's so invisible that when I pointed out to someone that I had a dashcam, he looked at the car and couldn't see where it was until I pointed to it.

Nice, I didn't realise they were so discrete

As stoney said,get one that is well hidden and don't stick out.

I aint that keen on one that sticks to screen with a large ish screen on them

You can see the sucker from outside just my choice.

I think my is only obvious if you lay on the windscreen, lol.

Mobius have a camera extension cable so can mount the sd box thingy inside the roof liner n put camera down to window somehow :) 99% discreet

I'd be interested to know more about that :P

Just Google mobius lens extension :)

I have seen these on ebay,also someone did a nice job of putting one in the

mirror plastic cover and the lense was in a small hole facing the window.

Clive wouldn't you need the opposite away about on that thing like the camera on the lower end to even up and look outside better

Noticed these available now-

Could be an idea if someone wants a more discreet mounting option.

That's a good find Clive :)

Good point James, did you figure that out just by looking at it? I had to save the photo and flip it around before I could see the problem lol.

I asked the seller a question to see if he can make them with the camera facing the other way, and also if he can do them in black.

Edit: Considering they're 3D printed I wouldn't think it would be difficult for them to change it so the lens fits on the other end.

You can go onto the setting and change the camera round so it can view upside down etc.

So many setting on these it's amazing camera and this is why there is no reason getting a £200+ camera.

Small,great picture and loads of setting to set on your p.c,also easy to fix if breaks,buy online.

Yeah a did buddy I've Got a technical mind.

less common sense sometimes tho! Haha

Problem with just cutting the hole for the camera is there is a clip at the rear to hold it in

If he has 3d printed am sure he can swap it around easy and get a dark colour not red that's like look at me lol

That's no the problem :) if you mount this to Ur wind screen it would face down towards Ur cars interior as the angle is far too much we would need the angle at the back of the camera to make it level 2bh

Phil am sure if you had a protector and a piece of string with a weight at end you could find the angle of the cars windshield and say to home to reverse his design with this adjustment and in black lol

That's what I had to do already to use the camera with a suction mount. But that mount on ebay would need to be changed so the lens points out of the lower end, otherwise all you would get is a video of your dashboard lol.

Yeah that's good idea, and I didn't think of mounting it to the windscreen, was just thinking I'd mount it to the plastic bit that covers the rain sensor. But on the windscreen might work too if the angle is right.
