Hearted Youtube comments on Andrew Lam (@Lam) channel.

  1. Fun fact from an industry insider: in many cases, the automakers had already identified and designed solutions for the problems that IIHS testing would later bring to light. The automakers calculated that they would lose money if they implemented these changes, however, so it's a good thing that testing authorities like the IIHS called the public's attention to these issues, since otherwise they might have never gotten solved!

  2. I really love this style. "Here's how it used to work when it was invented." "Here's how things have gotten much better." "Here's some issues today." "Here's how we can make it even better in the future!" I look forward to videos on all the topics YOU find interesting! We'll be here waiting for more.

  3. The one thing that is often ignored in the US and leads to a ton of SUVs and trucks is that crash tests rarely involve persons outside the car. Yet cars crashing into pedestrians and cyclists at low speed is super common! Adipositas cars (SUVs) usually fare badly here.

  4. Yesssss, more engineering of rudimentary objects! It's always cool seeing the little design changes and eureka moments that can lead to huge changes in products and objects that affect daily life.

  5. As a fire engineer, I have to say: extremely well done! I liked your focus on stay put/shelter in place policies, that’s generally what we want people to do in the UK. However, as this is for an international audience, I’d like to touch on a few points: Know your building Get familiar with the plans and notices posted in YOUR building. Know and follow their advice. Know your escape routes. Know what to do when you hear the fire alarm go off. This goes for your home as well as your place of work. Don’t fight the fire Unless there is a very small fire, outdoors, on a calm day, you a) won’t be doing much with a fire extinguisher anyways and b) risk smoke inhalation, which has extremely dangerous short and long term effects. Stand up for your fire safety Make sure access and egress routes are clear. Talk to neighbours who block the hallways with unnecessary items. Don’t let people park illegally in fire lanes, not even for a few minutes. Demand that your buildings fire equipment is serviced regularly, make sure fire doors close well and close automatically. If your building managers refuse to do something, talk to your city’s fire department, they can conduct an inspection and enforce the fire code. Get involved Some cities have volunteer firefighters, others have other volunteer positions. If you want, get involved, they’ll be happy to welcome you.

  6. I wish my city had safe cycling infrastructure. I feel like I'm risking my life everyday on my car commute.

  7. 8:06 SQUIRREL! 🙂 Seriously, thank you for the insight on this. You didn't go into more depth about the recommendations you'd like to see for tyre testing, but if you did want to do a vid on that, I'd be in the audience for watching it. Have fun 🙂

  8. I’m a civil engineer specialized in water resources and you did a fantastic job making such critical (yet mundane) infrastructure very interesting. Also great to see the actual manning’s equation when discussing open channel flow. Great work! I will definitely be subscribing.
    1200
  9. I'm quite surprised how you don't mention EuroNCAP at all. It's what Europe has been using for deciding what kind of cars are safe, and which most likely mutually helped the US crash tests.
    967
  10. The tests from the IIHS focus on half of the equation : the injuries sustained by occupants of the car considered by the test. What is missing is: what is the potential damage to occupants of the other car? If you don't consider that side of the problem, then you could end up in a "race to the biggest, heaviest car", which would be terrible for other road users. Not only other cars, which won't be able to absorb the energy from being hit by a heavier car, but pedestrians and other road users. Those bigger cars are often higher, and offer poor visibility on their immediate surroundings. We would probably all be safer overall if that "other half of the problem" was considered by regulators.

  12. The production value on this is incredible. You strike a rare balance of both teaching me new things and also making a palatable video that I can watch while eating lunch. Keep it up bro

  13. Now cover japan's insane power grid, half 50hz and half 60hz, which prevents load shifting and causes bottlenecks in the grid.

  14. It still kinda blows my mind that you went from dashcam videos (which were good, they are why I bought my dashcam, and how I found you) to these absolutely awesome videos! I hope the algorithm pushes your videos like it should. Your channel could easily blow up. I hope it does. Keep up the good work!

  17. as a tire and alignment guy for the past 25 yrs, I can appreciate all the upgrades in tire engineering and equipment to install them.....i have worked on Coats machines in the early 80s to Hunter machines of today and a lot of the technology has to do with TPMS, alloy and aluminum rims and very stiff and short sidewalls of tires...these weren't big issues in the 80s and 90s for mass tire installations...but as cars got lighter and materials weren't steel anymore, the equipment had to change with the designs...as a big truck alignment mechanic, I saw the differences in a 250 dollar tire and a 400 dollar Michelin and YES, there is a difference...the same goes with car tires and cheaper tires, you get what you pay for a lot of the times.....a video on worn tire testing would be a great idea because all new tires perform pretty well...it's the ones that are half worn and can't drive through a small puddle of water or a wet highway that are the ones to be concerned about...great video and i think you are just scratching the surface on what you can make videos about...thanks

  18. Firefighter from the U.S. here. I love what you said near the end about the dangers of house fires next to highrise apartment fires. Houses built in the modern day are filled to the brim with synthetic materials, like plastics and foams. These building materials, while significantly cheaper, are also extremely dangerous in fires. When they burn, they give off extremely toxic byproducts, be it by smoke, or gas. Another thing that you touched on, but I really want to emphasize. ALWAYS SLEEP WITH YOUR DOOR CLOSED!!! This gives you waaayyy more time to react to your smoke alarms (assuming they work, of course (change the batteries when they ask you to, please!)) and either escape, or shelter in place effectively. Even those cheap and hollow interior residential doors can keep you safe from extreme heat or fire for several minutes.

  19. I was involved in an accident like a month ago, and it was a small overlap type crash. I was riding in a small suv going to my home at around 50kph (30mph) when a drunk guy in a sedan hit me at around 140kph (~86mph), I was going uphill so the other car kind of slides under mine but still manage to impact like the test in your Honda fit. The floor of the car took the impact and broke one of the seat attachments, my car ended up like the shot at 16:41 but way worse in the underside, the A pillar actually held on pretty well leaving some space to not be absolutely crushed like in the test. Luckily, I only sustain minor damages with the worst things being that I broke a little bit of the lumbar area of the spine and broke my left foot, all recovering fine btw. Anyway cars are pretty safe nowadays, I also have an old Fiat with no safety features, so glad I wasn't driving it that day. Yours is too, just remember to wear your seatbelt, just don't crash that way 🤠 Sorry for my English, my first language is Spanish, Love your content, and keep it up!

  20. I love these reviews and recommend this channel to anyone looking for a dash cam.This guy will assist and answer any questions you ask him.

  26. Of the fatal house fires I learn of locally, almost all of them have no working smoke detectors with about half of those having none at all. In over half of the 'non-working' cases, it was battery powered and the resident apparently removed the battery. In many other cases the battery was dead. To alleviate the intentional disarming and problems with dead batteries, newer building codes require interconnected grid-powered units with battery back-up, yet you get the same problem as people now simply remove or unplug the units. It is paramount that safety devices of all kinds preclude false alarms or people will find a way to disable them. There is a flaw in the photoelectric or optical detectors: they will alert over airborne dust as quickly as they do smoke. Based on where their sensitivity level is set, that can be an almost imperceptible amount of dust. I hope these new detectors can discriminate against that. And here's a closing thought: Christmas may be a long way off, but for those you know who have defeated their detectors now you know the perfect present for them, and one which shows how deeply you care.
    252
  27. 12:00 Actually, the test button is just as effective as an outlet tester because the way that the best button works is by shorting a resistor between the neutral and live, simulating a real ground fault.
    246
  28. My childhood hero and mentor was a nuclear physicist who was involved in the development of ionization alarms. I keep kicking myself for not becoming aware of the seriousness of the issue while he was still alive. That would have been an awesomely insightful discussion.
    232
  29. Hey man love the content and want you to succeed! I've always wondered what went into my apartment to keep me safe from fires and often thought about how I might need to jump out the window and onto the tree someday to escape one. Well maybe that's not quite what I need to be prepared to do after watching your video. :-) Thanks again!
    224
  30. they just still use the old design just in other markets. Example: renault sells old european dacias with current 1 star ratings as renault in latam.
    221
  31. i don't even research dash cams anymore, I always just wait for your reviews
    203
  32. I'm pretty sure there IS government pressure, which is exactly why 100s if not 1000s of buildings are currently being re-clad.
    192
  33.  @Lam  Where i live you can easily get the dual version (Ionisation and photoelectric). And even the tripple version with additional Carbon Monoxide detection. Personally that is the best option.
    191
  34. As an engineer, This is really interesting to learn what goes behind making everyday objects perform better. Nice video!
    186
  35. I can imagine you driving around with 5 cameras mounted all the time.
    158
  36. Truly amazing the amount of time you dedicated to this is incredible. I also loved your detailed animations and even quick but still visible mathematical explanations. You also gave me some really cool japan visit ideas once I eventually can do that. I might suggest in the future though that maybe you try to collaborate with other creators to save you time on your hard work. I could see that you looked at practical engineering's video but maybe it might be a good idea for you to reach out for experts to explain topics to you instead of trying to understand it by reading (and losing those 8 hours for the math part/animation and everything). That hard work definitely paid off in the quality of this video just an idea to try to save you time but it's not necessary if you can't or prefer not to make your videos that way.
    146
  37. There should be an asterisk in your video around the @11:50 when you say "not only does this detect wiring faults". The truth is that it only detects MOST wiring faults. It will not detect, for example, a swapped neutral/ground. It will also not detect a high resistance neutral. Klein explicitly list the swapped neutral/ground situation in relatively fine print in their instructions for the RT210 under "Conditions NOT indicated"...among other places.
    143
  38. Masterfully put together, another great video, so glad you released it! Im European and we have EuroNCAP in place of IIHS and they constantly change their tests, the latest one is highly focusing on other road users like bikers or pedestrians . It relegated a ton of previously highly rated cars into low or non existant score since they lack safery festures to avoid hitting external third parties. I believe this is the only way to improve safety in our cars and thats a good thing! Keep the fascinating topics and videos coming !
    140
  39. I never knew about those round of corners in the socket wrench and the frequency distribution of the tire noise. Super interesting! For many everyday objects you never really stop and appreciate the design and engineering and just overal cleverness that went into it. Hope to see many more of these kind of videos!
    137
  40. Easily the best video on stormwater infrastructure I’ve ever seen. You really made a boring topic EXTREMELY interesting. Shoutout to all civil engineers that do amazing work that nobody takes the time to appreciate.
    133
  41. glad to see a new video from you!!
    126
  42. Awesome video Andrew, and well done on the re-branding. I've been a sub of the dash cam reviews for years but these documentaries are fascinating! Would love a video on how useful the new safety features are in cars these days. Seems like manufacturers are adding more and more - lane keep assist, adaptive speed cruise control, safe exit assist etc etc

  45. Nevermind the camera. How about a round of applause for how often and quickly the OP responds to the comments. Well done! (No need to respond to this comment, unless you want reinforce what I've already said.)
    101
  46. I absolutely love your videos! Some of the best, most interesting deep dives out there on these kinds of topics. Please keep making these videos!

  47. I'm a fire sprinkler designer who has designed systems for a dozen and a half high rises. I absolutely appreciate this video! High rises absolutely are safer than most other buildings due to the large number of extra requirements, even just for the fire sprinkler system itself. Thanks for helping educate the general public on such an important topic!! You've got a new subscriber. Also, shout out to Seneca College in Toronto for my education.

  48. i have been using a viofo for 2 years now, has cleared me of 1 crash so far, and it is very sleek and not too noticeable.
    94
  49. Have both optical (photo electric) and ionizing smoke detectors, CO and natural gas detectors, co2 and ABC extinguishers installed on every floor in my house, we have an escape plan, was in a building fire when I was a teenager, was a volunteer firefighter in my 20s. Thanks for the testing

  50. It's super hard to understand what is said when the music volume is the same as the voice level. The music is super distracting.
    85
  51. I live in a mill building that was converted to apartments. There is very thick fire resistant material below each floor, and walls between units are double fire rated sheetrock on each side (which also greatly reduces noise). In my 1 bedroom apartment there are 10 sprinkler heads, and the building has a massive generator backed pump capable of running every sprinkler head in the building at full pressure. There has been an apartment fire while I've lived here, and aside from smoke that did get into common areas the damage was entirely contained to the one apartment. I feel very safe here.
    84
  52. my dad's life was saved by a smoke alarm that woke him up in the middle of the night. firefighters said that if he was a minute slower to escape he would have been trapped by the flames. having a good smoke detector is important to me so thanks for the video.
    78
  53. It's always a real treat to see a video from you in my sub feed :o This one was especially fascinating, and the time spent on your storytelling is felt really strongly Great narratives throughout
    78
  54. Great video! It’s disappointing to see the video doing so poorly, YouTube needs more content creators like you! You’re one of only a handful of creators I have notifications on for.
    77
  55. I knew you were going to talk about Philadelphia at some point. The city and its largest neighboring county, Delco, are both BELOW sea level and adjacent to the Delaware River. We've had heavy flooding in the past but it has improved significantly over the years. During hurricane Sandy the only thing preventing my house from being swept away was the genius engineering of the river right behind my property. I remember right after the storm sitting at the edge watching the water speed past what must have been over 30 miles an hour. In Ridley Park there is a gigantic recreational field called the "Hollow" that sits in a massive valley, with a small river at its bottom. Back in the 90s, according to my parents, the entire park used to be a lake. Now it's part of the genius engineering that keeps the area dry.
    77
  56. I love how you dressed up for the occasion ❤😂
    74
  57. After our house was broken into in 2018, we’ve put in tons of security. There’s a kick plate at the bottom of the front door, and the doors are solid oak. Even if the glass panels in the door are smashed most people wouldn’t be able to make it through. The next vulnerable spots would be the side or back door since both are made of glass. To help with that, there’s glass break sensors at every window and door and cameras all over the property.
    74
  58. I love this, it's like watching "How it's made" but actually goes into the reason for each specific part of the product as well as giving a history lesson. You had my interest in the guard rail video but I'm definitely sticking around after watching this!
    72
  59. I've had a Viofo dash cam for a couple of years now and it's a solid dash cam. I did have issues early on finding an SD card that would not fail. Once I put in a Transcend SD card, it's been flawless and very reliable.
    71
  60. I mean, the older-gen ionization alarms ARE extremely annoying, but they've also saved my ass quite a few times because I live with roommates and have an electric coil stove and very little counter space. Roommate throws on a pot of water for Mac-n-Cheese, turns on the back burner instead of the front, tupperware catches on fire while I'm in my room with the door (right next to the stove) shut and they're in the living room watching TV or something. This happens about every 6 months or so but the detectors ALWAYS catch it within seconds of it flashing off, we just have to remember to open the kitchen door before anyone opens the oven otherwise everyone runs around to find some kinda pokey-stick-object to turn the alarm off. Hell, it ALMOST happened with a skillet full of bacon grease on the back burner LITERALLY LAST NIGHT, I just smelled it before it caught fire cause my door was open.
    70
  61. Underrated af. This video shows the shift in the philosophy of stormwater management, from making the problem go away as fast as possible (conveyance), to holding them in place for as long as possible and not let it be a bigger problem down the line (retention). Interesting thing about Tokyo and storm management is that it goes back to the Tokugawa Shogunate period. Edo is very flat and prone to flooding and as such the shoguns started flood mitigation efforts even during the Closed Doors period. They rerouted the most of the flow of the upstream rivers into Tone River, and in part making it the longest river in Japan. Then in the Imperial era giant bypass channels with giant floodplains were constructed, which uprooted quite a bit of homes. Not to mention dams.
    70
  62. Most channels covering Dash Cams go nuts over features. Thanks for being honest about pitfalls and what is really needed. 👍

  63.  @SadisticSenpai61  You are mostly correct as far as I know and hopefully soon you will be far less correct. The UK government, through a number of bodies, is reviewing building safety regulations right now, this includes Approved Document B, BS9991 and BS9999, with particular focus on tall residential buildings, and will be publishing more information over the next couple of years and the information coming out already is being reviewed by industry experts. Parallel to this, building fire safety is under review by major architectural/multidisciplinary studios and fire engineers. The new gateways for planning approval are already raising the standard of fire safety design and we will see the results of that in new builds as designers are now being held to a higher standard that the current standards and regulations, which is a little confusing for all, but will work itself out. The push for the ability for disabled residents to easily be able to evacuate a building without assistance is also making a difference, in particular with the New London Plan in regard to evacuation and fire lifts, although these high standards are also being applied to other projects in the UK. And on top of that there is the new standards coming out for the recording of fire safety information following the Golden Thread and including that in digital construction information, digital construction/BIM models coming from fire engineers, and the new addition of FIREie coming soon, which is similar to COBie BIM information, but for fire risk management. I could go on, but my comment is getting pretty long already. TLDR: Stuff is happening and the standard for fire safety is being improved in the UK in every way that the industry can think of.
    68
  64. I can't express how much I appreciate your high quality, unbiased and professional reviews. Respect! Kudos!
    66
  65. Andrew : there aren't many channels on YouTube producing video ls at that level of quality, being entertaining and so informative. Clearly you are putting a ton of time into this. There should be a way to support your work with a bit more than just a subscription...
    64
  66. A great and informative video, Andrew! Great job!
    63
  67. Other aspects of your video I’d like to comment on: Sprinklers Sprinklers are, as you said, an additional layer of protection. Without other measures like working compartmentalization, their effectiveness is limited, at least in a residential setting. External insulation External wall insulation, like styrofoam based cladding, can be a risk in high rise buildings, if it doesn’t respect the compartmentalization and spans multiple units without fire breaks. The most prominent example of this is Grenfell tower, which did prompt further investigation and updates to fire codes and procedures world wide. All in all, a fantastic video with well researched information. I loved that you linked additional resources in the description. Thank you!
    61
  68. Is this the same guy who did the video about traffic safety barriers a few years ago? One of my all-time favorites.
    60
  69. I work for a big city FD and the biggest problem we have in appartement buildings (low and high rise) is people wedging fire doors open or interfering with the automatic closing systems. It basically bypasses all the protection of a fire break and spreads smoke everywhere. It's more common in poorly maintained buildings often owned by slumlords but I've also seen it in public housing and expensive condo towers. Only a few days ago we ran a 3am call for a small trash fire in the basement garbage room of a 4 floor 60 apt building, all the hallway and stairs fire doors were jammed open so though the fire was small and never spread from the room, all the stairwells and hallways were filled with smoke. It happens too often.
    60
  70. Cool video. I'm definitely in the "you get what you pay for" camp when it comes to tires. More expensive brand name tires may hurt more now but they can literally save your life when it comes to handling and braking performance.
    59
  71. You did miss one thing, the lack of crash compatibility tests. Not Just Bikes mentioned it in his video about trucks but it goes a bit further than that. As big trucks and SUVs get more popular these crashes will also get more common, in effect making smaller cars even more unsafe through no fault of their own. And it is not just cars either as Semi-trucks also have the same problem, the small clip at 13:36 shows what could happen. I do not remember where I saw it but this is still a flaw in modern trailers as most of those crash bars are not tested to be able to hold back a crash and the height on most of them are too high to be of any use to small cars.
    59
  72. You've been knocking these info/story videos out of the park, amazing work again.
    58
  73. You can just tell how much thought and planning has gone into this video before he even touches a camera. Really high quality stuff, I cant wait to see more!
    57
  74. I'm a collision repair tech and you would be surprised at how much engineering goes into crash safety, also many of the very first safety features ie. Three point seat belts, proper headrests and even backup cameras, were introduced by Volvo who had their own safety design division in the 50s! They were also kind enough to not patent the designs allowing other manufacturers to use it for an easy safety increase thus creating a universal standard without having to enforce it (at least initially). UHSS was a big step in the right direction for passenger safety ensuring the safety cage is massively stronger than the rest of the car, and I'm glad more and more people are getting to see this stuff online. Also keep in mind Your Airbags NEED Maintenance Every 10 Years! On a side note being a car enthusiast myself I have to say, if you are going to modify any safety equipment, please replace it with something of equal or greater protection capabilities. For example replacing seatbelts and airbags with a cage and harness, even the pro's crash but the pro's are driving cars designed to crash at 100+ mph and be fine, your 30 year old miata would fail 90% of current test standards and wouldn't hold up well to a new F-150.
    55
  75. A good video but I don't think you mentioned how the rubber itself has changed and improved over the years too(?) For example, all-season tires weren't a thing several years ago but now with improved rubber technology/compounds you have tires that can perform well all year round in summer and winter conditions. Like dedicated winter tires, all-season tires are certified for winter use by the mountain snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.   Where I'm from with milder winters I think all-season tires are a good choice, and I have them on all my cars. In cold and wintry conditions the handling and safety is improved when compared to using summer tires all year round (which most drivers in my country still do). Obviously for places with harsher, longer winters you will get better performance by swapping between two sets of tires (summer and winter tires). Also maybe if you drive a sports car, and want optimal performance, then you would probably want to swap tires according to the conditions too. And I totally agree tires should be tested over an extended period of time, and not just when they are brand new and supple. I remember suggesting this on one of the popular youtube tire review channels a while back. Most of us will use a set of tires on our cars for a few years. Over that time not only does the tire pattern change but with weathering, sun light etc the characteristics of the rubber itself changes (often hardening) which affects the performance of the tire too, especially in cold conditions.
    54
  76. I want to see a video on how to hide cables for rear dash cams. Thinking about grabbing an a119 to watch my back.
    50
  77. New viewer here. Great video. Thank you. Back in 2018 my refrigerator power cord was pinched, causing a smoldering fire in the kitchen while I was at work. I had left an exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms going, and a passerby saw it and called the FD. No one heard any smoke alarms going. Glad I wasn't there, asleep.
    50
  78. Holy crap! So much work went into making this video. I love how you compare wifi file transfer speeds. I use the Anker ROAV and Vantrue X3 dash cams and they take AGES to download via wifi. Anker offers a really awesome view of your speedometer and map feature when playing back via wifi.
    47
  79. I was an early adherent of radial tires, having Semperit Supersports on my 1962 VW Beetle in the mid 1960s. Because of this or that I had the fronts mounted a week or two before the rears. The difference in those weeks was incredible. After all four were installed the difference was phenomenal. I never went back. If you ever drove a Beetle, you know how wiggley its read end was.
    47
  80. Hahaha, saw and thought the same thing. I liked the simple overview of the video. Recommendations are hard to make without a huge amount of research.
    46
  81. This feels extremely professional, it’s clear you took everything you’ve learned over the years and tailored it into a much more broader reaching category of topic. It works perfectly! Absolutely love it, definitely earned a subscriber!
    44
  82. I think your car gets dangerous when you crash, so I personally don't crash my car.
    42
  83. The quality and depth of consumer information as well as the production value of these videos is incredible! You need to consider something like a patreon link for us to give back.
    41
  84. Hi Andrew, I'm a fire alarm technician in Florida. I have to say you did your research on this and your information was flawless. I take my job very serious knowing that lives could be at stake. A big part of fire saftey is knowing what to do when there is a fire present in the building that a individual is at. I hope your videos reaches way more people.
    36
  85. This guy is SO good. I depend on his thoughts on dash cams.
    35
  86. Important note: outlet testers in the US usually can't check if your ground circuit is actually wired correctly! They usually just look for a connection between neutral and ground, because, as mentioned here, the two are actually connected (usually). So, if skimping builders just wired the ground of an outlet to neutral instead of doing things properly, everything will appear good... but you won't have the same protection as with real grounding.
    35
  87.  @Lam  that barrier video was amazing and so is this one! You really have talent for this👍
    35
  88. Its unfortunate the approach to the weight issue is having a minimum weight. A better solution that solves lots of other problems would to have a maximum weight instead, or better alongside
    34
  89. Based on your review I purchased Viofo A129 Duo system and couldn't be happier. I researched and researched for nearly six months, and your video stood out as the best review for my budget and driving needs. Thank you very much for your excellent work.

  90. After 3 months of driving with A119 v3, I can really recommend it. Great quality! PS. Don't forget to buy CPL filter ;) Worth having!!
    33
  91. Takes time to produce such high quality videos. I'll wait

  92. Love the demonstration of how the seatbelt elements work. I didn't realize how complicated modern seatbelts are. All but one of my cars are 40+ years old, so they have really basic seatbelts that are either basic ratcheting mechanisms or just straight up straps that you set the tightness manually.
    29
  93. Thank you for your research!
    28
  94. And most people take them for granted, I love learning about things like this!
    27
  95. Shout out to the Manning Formula! As a young civil engineer 35 years ago, I was given a circular slide rule that was based on the Manning equation and it was so intuitive to properly size storm pipes — and is just as handy today even with the proliferation of computer software.
    27
  96.  @Lam  We are trying to release a beta version before Chinese new year, also we will check the card statue notification.
    27
  97. This is the first video I've seen of yours and it's excellent! It's easy to ignore the small details in the engineering of products which make a huge difference in performance. Your discussion about the design and implementation of siping brings to light one of the many seemingly minute differences which make a big difference in performance and, by extension, safety. Consumers should be aware of compromises made in designs balancing cost and performance. Thanks for the great video. Keep up the good work!
    26
  98. Have been pulling my hair out as to why my Blacksys CF-100 was having progressively worsening problems with the Sandisk Ultra SD cards, and now I have the answer! Many thanks! I had no idea that SD cards actually wore out.
    25
  99. YESSS new Andrew Lam vid!
    25
  100. One of the reason you had a more efficient research in crash-tests is also the technological progress of simulations. while you will always need physical, real crash tests, the advancements in simulated material behavior helps saving a ton of money as (just for a rough example) instead of crashing 100 cars, you only crash 20 to get to satifying, in-charts results.
    25
  101. I'll have to remember that UL fire demo video. I work in a high rise and the door to my group's area is a fire door but people leave it open all the time. We do a safety topic every month and you better believe I'm going to do the importance of fire doors next haha
    25
  102. About 17:15: Small cars are not inherrently more deadly, bigger Cars make them more deadly. Big modern SUVs might be safe to drive, but they are a safety desater for every car (or pedestrian) they crash into. But overall: Great video!
    25
  103. As for the part about stair wells. Most buildings in high rises have designated fire escape stairwells. These are made of metal and concrete with fire doors. These are often required to have a positive pressure atmosphere which keeps smoke and fire out. When evacuating always use fire escape stairwells. Never use any type of “convenience” stairwells as they are sometimes called. They are not rated to protect you from fire or smoke.
    24
  104. ​@Lam Good call! This video was definitely a good refresher, and in some ways are much more in depth compared to the Connections video. Thanks!
    23
  105. I bought both types of detectors for each location in my home when I moved into my house 4 years ago. All from Kidde and I have had multiple failures. Going off continuously at night for literally no reason, waking my young daughter up and traumatizing her as well as 10 year batteries that failed way early, and many false alarms. So I would not recommend going with Kidde products despite the enticing 9th gen marketing you mentioned in the description (I also think they declared bankruptcy). I will probably look at swapping out for the first alert. Really cool video!
    23
  106.  @Lam  It's not really your fault, it's not really your viewer's fault either (I would agree with OP's comment). As a YouTuber, you need to clickbait at least to some extent to survive the attention market playing field. It partially worked, but you've got electricians driven in hordes to your video, instead of the general public, pointing out the obvious, i.e. GFCI = good, no PE in the socket = bad. Still, I learned that Japan's domestic home are still lacking a protective earth but compensate by mandating GFCI for all circuits. Mission accomplished, I guess? 😌
    23
  107. rename channel name? congrats!
    21
  108. Personally, I prefer Euro NCAP over IIHS. IIHS focuses too much on occupant safety, Euro NCAP however focuses more on pedestrian safety and outright preventing accidents(driver aids). If IIHS is such a good standard, I believe USA will have less traffic deaths than Europe for sure.
    21
  109. A topic that I hadn't thought much of before but told in a really engaging way! Well done :)
    20
  110. Tom Scott, but with more substantial information.
    19
  111.  @Lam  ok then it just had me confused. Maybe an Note saying "Higher is better" would be nice then.
    19
  112. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I appreciate your setup and the execution of your videos! I love how you edit so that there's a great flow to all of the presentation and the information shared. I'm entertained and enlightened by your efforts, and even though I normally watch YouTube on my TV I felt compelled to get my phone out to thank you for being one of the best content creators. I hope that you are having a fantastic day.
    19
  113. I have the A119V2. Love it. FYI Arizona heat is tough on dash cams. The GPS adapter sets the camera back off the windshield and has eliminated the heat issues with my camera.
    18
  114. Nah he’s definitely alive. His videos are super high-quality and he probably has a full time job outside of YouTube.
    18
  115. Did you mention the Grenfell Tower disaster (London, UK; 14 June 2017) where the flawed application of the stay-put strategy was tragically compromised by the building's flammable exterior cladding?
    18
  116. Just a thought: When you temporarily go off on a tangent to prove a point, it can be slightly confusing to figure out if the entire topic changed. What about an watermark in the corner of you and a bear (bear-with-me) during these point-makers?
    17
  117. READ MORE for notes after 2 years of running the VIOFO A119 "V1". I bought the ORIGINAL A119 based off your review 2 years ago! That unit is still running strong and has taken over 1,000,000 minutes of video. I have the original V1 "pin style" GPS mount and it still works great, though I could see how some would say it disconnects when wiggled loose. I STRONGLY recommend VIOFO A119! Thank you Car Cam Central for your original video. Notes after 2 years of use for the original A119 - V1. - the software offers higher resolution settings than the hardware offers. This conflict will trigger the "SD Error" message and continous beep to notify that it is NOT recording. No big deal, so.long as you don't ask it to record in 2k when it can just HD. - I use and recommend a 128G memory card. - It can handle the temperature. I live in the Midwest and heat and cold extreme days can reach extremes of -10° to over 100°. Then consider that heat increased by the trapped heat in a vehicle. The original unit survived two years of these extreme weather and only shut down once after my truck was shut closed, parked outside daily, in the sun, during a week of 100° temps (130°+ in vehicle). Once aired out and cooled off, it powered right back up and has been going over since. - I DO NOT use the GPS feature as it can only make you guilty of speeding, nullify your insurance claim, or make you at fault for an accident. - I do use the microphone as it catches honking, music, and talking. THIS GOT ME OUT OF A TICKET once: I had been pulled over for faulire to wear seatbelt, written a $60 ticket, and I WAS wearing my belt. I knew I couldn't prove I'd had it on... I kept a copy of the video because I thought it was 'cool' to have the traffic stop on camera. I watched the video and the AUDIO off my camera had the 'click' of my buckle latching. It was enough in court to drop the ticket. Win! But that was the first real time I needed the video in 2 years. -insurance companies offer a discount on "permanently installed" dashcams. Be sure yours is adhesive to the window and the cable tucked-in and they may count it. Plugged into USB cig lighter port. Depends on your insurance. - if you push the "Hazard" looking button to trigger an 'event' recording, it starts recording and will protect the next 30 seconds of video from being deleted. However, it will not protect the immediate proceeding incident after which you push the button in response to. For example, if someone cuts you off in traffic and then you press the 'hazard/ event" button it will begin immediately recording a 30-second protected file. The protected video will show the events that occurred as you push the button and after. It will not protect the incident itself since you had not yet pressed the button. So unless you press the button in anticipation of something crazy happening, the crazy event will not be stored as a protected file, but will be accessible if the card is removed and file is retrieved before it is overwritten by loop recording. In short, if you forget to take a video off that wasn't protected, it will get overwritten.
    17
  118.  @Lam  yeah I can imagine, thanks :)
    17
  119. All your videos are such high production quality. Answering questions I'd never think to ask, in a logical structure.
    16
  120. 8:10 its actually called a "fluvial point bar" water slows depositing sediment creating the point not a peninsula :D and the direct other side of the point bar is the "thalweg" where the water is moving fastest eroding the river back. Excellent summary of Flood mitigation
    15
  121. So what happens when it runs into a Cybertruck? I’m worried about this potential vehicle mass and height arms race, since the taller heavier vehicle is often more safe in a crash, since you experience less deceleration, and expose the weaker upper cabin section less to damage.
    15
  122. From dash cam testing to fire alarm, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on these items. ❤
    15
  123. This video is absolutely amazing. I really hope the algorithm picks this up. You obviously put a lot of effort into this and it really deserves a larger audience.
    15
  124. I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago, everyone I talk to doesn't even check if there alarm still works or has batteries 😢. Thank you for spreading a bit more knowledge about this, if it saves one person it's worth it
    15
  125. ​ @P_RO_  it's definitely counterintuitive. The whole time everything was about how quickly each type can detect the smoke/fire. The obvious choice would have been detection speed comparison not escape time which is the reverse of that.
    15
  126. 10:40 ah, a safer version of ElectroBOOM.
    15
  127. Been waiting for this! Viofo progress on dashcams is unbeatable
    15
  128. Great content Andrew! I just watched the crash barrier video before this one and both were informative, interesting and cool too! I look forward to future videos!
    15
  129. Thank you for the comprehensive review, Andrew! Your hard work really shows!
    14
  130. Just found your channel and it's SO GOOD! It shows how much research you put into these videos. They're wildly informative! Please don't stop making them :)
    14
  131. Wow, it’s the second video update! Thank you! Always the most useful and unbias review, thank you for the hard work!
    14
  132. My SEAT Leon ST (VW Golf 8) from 2021 has extended passenger protection, so it will tension the seatbelts (electric motors) and roll up the windows almost all the way up if open to avoid lems to fall outside but still let the pressure from the airbags to exit. A pretty cool option that should be standard on all new cars 🙂
    14
  133. I always thought of how tire designs were made and why. It's just fascinating to hear how they evolved in every day use.
    13
  134.  @Lam please keep it up.
    13
  135. Surprised you did not reference the IIHS 50th Anniversary Crash Test of a 1959 Chevy BelAir against a 2009 Chevy Malibu. That video makes the case better than any description how the IIHS has saved lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtxd27jlZ_g I was involved in a frontal crash where the safety systems literally meant that my wife and I could walk away. We were in a 2009 Audi A3 when an American Full Size Pickup truck crossed the double yellow line and we had an almost perfect head on collision at about 40 Mph each (total 80 miles per hour closing rate). I do not know what damage the pickup had, our A3 was completely destroyed forward of the A pillar (as designed), from the A pillar back you could not tell it had been in a crash, the door gaps were still perfect. The German engineering of the passenger compartment and front crumple zone did their job.
    13
  136. Thanks for the review, wanted the point out the included SG9663DC power supply has a 90-degree plug and doesn't stick out the side like that. (must be from another product) Also, our 3M VHB Adhesive Tape Mount is black. (not grey as shown, again must be from another product) SG9663DC Power draw in timelapse mode is around 210mAh Also, OCD Tronic doesn't handle Street Guardian Sales, it's just Street Guardian USA. Also front / rear recording is 18 + 18 in High quality mode
    13
  137.  @Lam  I'm looking forward to seeing the direction you take. Its worth noting that right now we're on the cusp of a Renewable Revolution, and all things related to renewable energy are hot topics which are getting a lot of global funding right now. Everything from EV's, to shipping, to solar and wind and other methods of generation, to storage and battery chemistries. This area is seeing a ton of growth and is well poised for someone in your position.
    13
  138. I'm here from Tom Scott's newsletter, and I'm so so glad he linked this because this is the awesome content I'm always looking for :D It kinda reminds me of The B1M!
    13
  139. It's always good to see you post a video. I've been rewatching your dash cam videos and I just can't find anyone as informative as you. Anyways, thank you for an incredible video! I appreciate the dedication and knowledge used to put this video together.
    13
  140. Great video like always, wasn’t expecting a new video so quickly. Also, didn’t expect a new video style but I think it improves the narrative and explanation, great job!
    13
  141. You are actually so under-rated. Although i did like the camera videos. These ones are so much more interesting. Thank you for opening up to the world of car barriers, smoke alarms and more. Keep it up. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
    12
  142. Thank you for this video Andrew. Perfect timing with the Christmas Holidays right around the corner. Cheers
    12
  143. This is both entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work! However, the fact that the IIHS does not consider lightweight vehicles as safe is indicative of a larger problem, wherein cars are being designed to be dangerous to other motorists, as well as those outside of motor vehicles due to excessive weight. Ps. Nice Canadian rubles :)
    12
  144. Always great to see a new video pop up!
    12
  145. NEC and CSA don't think so. They approve GFCI receptacles as a safe 3 prong retrofit for 2 prong ground-less K&T or old Romex wiring.
    12
  146. I’m never one to miss an Andrew Lam video
    12
  147. Informative and well put together. Fire safety should be taught in schools at an early age. I remember being taught basic fire safety in school and it’s come in handy since.
    11
  148. You know what they say, It's Always Spongy in Philadelphia.
    11
  149. Great video as always! I’m from the Philippines, so sadly floods still cause many casualties here, which sucks considering we can experience 20+ typhoons yearly. I hope this type of technology would reach us!
    11
  150. In usa, residential GFCI trips at 4-6mA
    11
  151. The quality in your videos is simply amazing! It's insane how you can make such a captivating video about smoke alarms of all things. This video was super informative and enjoyable. Hope to see more from you!
    11
  152. Pulled me in. Never heard of this dude. Definitely never consumed anything related to smoke detectors. Only thing close might be chemical safety board videos, but it's been many months. Anyway, showed up on my feed tonight.
    11
  153. Brilliant exposition ! Many thanks. NOW I KNOW WHY MY 2 DASH CAMS SAID 'NO CARD' WHEN I USED THOSE SAN DISK ULTRA PLUS 16 GB cards. Wish I known all this before. Excellent work Car Cam Central !!
    10
  154. Andrew the man is back with a deep dive I didn't know I wanted to dive into. Love the new style of videos and looking forward to seeing more !
    10
  155. I almost feel like I owe you, at least I can do is subscribe :D
    10
  156. i am 1000 "like this video" guy!

  157. Oh yea!!! Another review!! Awesome. Happy Turkey Day.
    9
  158. I'm impressed how much research, source and content you put into videos which truly makes them a masterpiece worth watching. Concise and clear information. Also, if I saw someone in a garden with a teddy bear strapped in a chair hooked up to a car battery I would question his intentions
    9
  159. Very well done Andrew, thankyou, this video was not only educational and informative but entertaining. I've been a subscriber for many years and from a fellow content creators, point of view, I think you're inspirational. Also you've helped me personally, with advice via email, in the dash cam era. For that also, thankyou 🙂
    9
  160. Yesssss. I've been looking forward to this review for a while. Thanks so much!
    9
  161. Wow, you really are very thorough, especially the effects of hot temperature. That's important to me because I live in southern California, where sun is out all the time.
    9
  162. Watched several videos now, and this guy!!!!! Every video is so great, such a quality review, so well put together! Amazing

  163. This is both entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work!

  164. Awesome job on the research. If I may suggest another topic, how about innovations on road design for limited access roads (e.g. the Autoban, US Freeway system, Canada National Highway System).
    9
  165. Man, youre doing an excellent and honest job here! Highly appreciated! Thank you very much!

  166. I was in a highrise condo fire in 2009 in Chicago, it was on the 36th floor of a 42 story building. We were told to stay in place unless in immediate danger. The building was older and thus didn't have sprinklers. The elderly resident of the fire died, but only other injuries, no other deaths. The injuries were because the fire actually busted out the windows and into the units upstairs. Staying in your apt may seem scary in the moment, but it was definitely the right call for us. https://youtu.be/Zv6z2Yy6khI This video was really cool and informative, thank you!
    9
  167. I live in Japan. Periodically the power company comes out and checks for leaks to ground in the whole house circuit. They also replace the electric wires from street into house every 8 years. On a related note, none of this stuff is needed if the power company does not ground one side of its power circuit. An ungrounded power source will not shock you if you touch one bare wire. We are discovering this basic fact in off grid solar installations, which only need to ground solar panel aluminum frames for lightning..............
    9
  168. To be fair, the US electrical system sucks a lot

  169. Waiting so long for your review OMG with 99,999,997 views
    8
  170. This is the first video I have seen of yours and I am incredibly impressed! The presentation rivals TV shows but it leaves the corny, corporate feel behind. I know it probably took an incredible amount of time and effort to make this video and I wanted to let you know that i think it really paid off!
    8
  171. I was in a low overlapping head-on, like your fatal flaw. He popped out of the fog and I hit my breaks and immediately slid so I switched and punched the gas. That made my tail swing out more and the angle of contact changed at the last possible instant and I spun when we connected. I slid sideways out of the seatbelt and was stuffed into the rear passenger footwell headfirst. Totaled both cars. I guess I should add I got charged for criminal negligence because I was passing a few cars going very, very slow. Too slow for conditions, but fog has a way of changing to soup in an instant. I was found not to be. Mostly because I had the car 3 days and hadn't had time to take off the very bald tires that were on it and that was the first time I drove it in the rain. I tried to slow down and get back in my lane. But like I said, I just slid immediately, like I was on ice. I was stuffed the instant I hit the breaks. A consequence of not being rich more than any culpable intent.
    8
  172. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos, the quality is insanly good!
    8
  173. I’m really happy I ran into this video, I’m interning with a city this summer and was doing work in one of these just a few days ago, the coolest part that I noticed when looking at the one within my city was the “grit chambers”. These chambers are at the inlets and allow for the sediment to settle in the camber instead of in retention pond area. These chambers are also used throughout the whole city to keep sediment from going into lakes and rivers.
    8
  174. I'd love to see how the IIHS stacks up against the more strict Euro NCAP tests
    8
  175. If you end up jumping into trees you might want to ask for ten bucks back since you’ll need bandaids 😂
    8
  176.  @P_RO_  the Thing is most People dont Stop the Videos and read every Note and asume Things are based on the Narration of the Video and thats what got me confused there. Sure after reading in properly and understanding the Graph it was right. The Comment was meant to be a friendly "Hey something seems off to me" and others might be confused but this was still a great and informative Video.
    8
  177. I'm glad you guys do recommendations for hot weather as well. I live in Texas where it easily gets to 100+ every summer and I'd rather not have a battery swell and explode in my car lol. I bought the G1W-C a few years back due to your review, and it hasn't failed me yet. But I think it's time to get something with better video quality haha.
    8
  178. Just started watching, can already say it is because of the GFCI protection.
    8
  179. You didn't mention that Nader's book was later found to have been full of false information and outright lies. I just find that an amusing sidenote. It was very influential in bringing car safety to the fore.
    8
  180. I hope other reviewers were like you. Very informative and efficient. No words wasted.
    8
  181. I'm an MEP/FP engineer, and this is spot on. Sadly combustible structure is making a comeback due to it's low cost and deregulation.
    8
  182. A lot of being safe on the road comes down to being observant & watching for situations unfolding. Sadly to few people do this. It does make me glad though when I make a mistake driving & I visibly see other drivers react showing they are paying attention. Then the next correct thing to do is correct for my mistake in the safest way possible. VOLVO & Euro Encap are the other two main crash test authority's that have come up with some really cool tests. I always look at crash test safety when getting a new car, looked at it for my partners car to so he would have to best chance at survival if the worst happens.
    7
  183. Things you learn. I always thought the local park just flooded due to poor drainage without realize that it was flood control at work. Great video.
    7
  184. Absolutely essential viewing when looking for a dashcam. Every quesition answered, every feature explored, myths busted and solid info throughout.
    7
  185. A few of the buildings were I lived in Toronto had pressurised hallways that were marketed as keeping cooking odors out of the hallways, I had often wondered if they would keep the hallways clear of smoke as well. Now I know thank you.
    7
  186. andrew doesnt always post often, but when he does, they are gold. No BS, no intro music, no sexual appeal or only fans. Just good info and visuals.
    7
  187. ​ @P_RO_ What are you even talking about? Try to look things a bit more objectively, not emotionally if you are trying to learn something. If you are using one perspective in an explanation/argument, changing that suddenly for one graph can be confusing. There is a reason why this is not the only comment about it and why even on the creator's side a tester pointed it out. Overall it's a good video, no one questions that.
    7
  188. Andrew, you make it difficult not to hit the BUY button! Thank you for your thoughtful reviews.
    7
  189. He was just drowned under some rainwater. They should have built a dam.
    7
  190. Great review. I would love if you can review the A129 duo PRO. The 4k version of the duo viofo cam. Have been looking for reviews on that, but no one does a better review than you! Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago
    7
  191. I am currently condo shopping, this video will give me a lot of important things to look out for!
    7
  192. One of things that's also important is the consistency and sensitivity of the building's automatic fire detection system. This past summer, I lived in a newly constructed apartment building that has per suite fire detectors, automatic fire doors that are opening during normal use but closes when the system detects a fire, insulated fire escape elevators, and many other advanced features. The only problem is the overly sensitive fire detection system kept triggering and ordering whole building evacuation from people smoking weed in their apartments. After the third such evacuation, 90% of the residents no longer evaculate, which meant the state-of-art automatic system in advertently caused more complacency due to an incorrect setup.

  193. Car Cam Central : Great video with plenty of excellent info , especially on your choice of the 3 best Premium Dash Cams for the upcoming year of 2019 ! In this ever rapidly expanding market for new and exciting technology advancements , its good to know your channel is always way ahead of the curve …. Thus bringing forth the knowledge necessary to make an informed choice , for any consumers interested on purchasing their next Premium Dash Camera(s) ! Thanks Scarboro/Tom * New Subscriber !!!

  195. Solid video as always! Great explanations for your reasoning and definitely very helpful! Looking forward to more of your content!
    7
  196. Thanks for doing these videos man. I bought the vifo a119 because of you.👌
    7
  197.  @Lam  yes bro and looks like this video is blowing up right now! Grats and keep these coming
    7
  198. Amazing, this video was crammed with information density. So many different examples and diagram. Really using the visual medium. Had to slow it down to 1x speed.
    7
  199. Dude! Amazing content and production - so informative and neat!
    7
  200. Love the direction this channel is going in, keep up these awesome videos!
    7
  201. Exactly the sort of video I wanted as a first time dash cam buyer.
    6
  202. Thank you for putting so much time in your reviews and dedicating yourself to finding all of this information. You get straight to the point and do it clearly and honestly, great videos!!
    6
  203. Great coverage on the development history of vehicle passive safety features. I think there's more to be covered. Active safety features are important as well. Anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control also play important roles in car safety. IIHS recommends cars with electronic stability control for teenage drivers even for the used ones. Now, we also have automatic braking and back up cameras too. These active safety features prevent car collisions and injuries from happening in the first place. I think this would be a good topic for one of your future videos.
    6
  204. Currently studying environmental engineering, this is exactly the sort of thing I want to work on. Also, Great job visualizing and explaining Manning's Equation.

  205. The SanDisk High Endurance 64GB is on sale right now for $16.40 USD, and the 32GB is $10.99 USD before taxes on Amazon, definitely going to be picking up a high endurance card. Thank you for making such a well informed video about these cards, I had no idea there was a difference between these and the regular cards.

  206. Amazing explanation video as always!!

  207. Your videos are so mesmerizing to watch and much more well-placed and structured than most youtubers. I get a lot of satisfaction out of watching them, and any length of time is worth the wait for this kind of quality! Keep it up

  208. Great video Andrew Lam. It was worth all your effort and I appreciate it.

  209. I really would like to take a second to give a genuine thanks to all the fire fighters and engineers and any respondents. Dying in a fire is probably my number 1 worst way to die, and I really can't imagine the horror of those who perished in such situations. It makes me feel much better knowing there are people who take these risks extremely importantly and do their best to implement any way to reduce chance of death by fire. If I wasn't already in another branch of engineering I honestly would probably have been interested in such things because it really does save lives

  210. Car Cam Central:  1. First off, thank you for your in-depth reviews - you are the guru of dash cams! While this list is great, all of the cameras listed are FIXED (adhered to the window and without any way of adjusting viewpoints).  2. Could you provide your top picks and analysis for cameras that can pivot to view the left and right side of the vehicle? While most car accidents occur from the front or rear of the vehicle, many incidents occur from the driver-side and passenger-side windows (i.e. police, disgruntled drivers, car jacking...etc.).  3. This would not be unlike your review of the VicoVation Opia2 review in 2017. What is your 2019/2020 pick? Cheers!

  211. Great video as always Andrew! Keep up the high quality videos. They're really appreciated.

  212. I'm not sure if the author says that ungrounded sockets are as safe as grounded ones. He just says that they have another kind of protection like GFCI. In my country, at least back in the days when I worked as electrician - grounding was mandatory, GFCI was not. AFAIR - I was electrocuted many times, of course it was because my own carelessness. At my new home I have GFCI installed. Number of electrocutions - zero. Each time I carelessly touch the hot wire GFCI trips and cuts the power. Grounding gives the better protection from the appliances faults, but GFCI works better against "human errors". OF COURSE, it's best to use both kind of protection. IMO, today both kind of protection should be absolutely required in any new building. However, when we consider older buildings - it's probably way cheaper to go with the GFCI, because installing it doesn't require additional wiring and replacing all wall sockets.

  213. Damm Andrew. Stepping up the game. Nice lowdown. Especially liking the voltage part for hardwiring and parking mode.

  214. Hey. Put the yellow outlines in the thumbnail. The video is great! Just the thumbnail sucks. Make it clearer what the video is about

  216. I have had The Viofo A119V3 for six weeks now and it is working very well. The video quality in the daylight is great! At night, the video quality is also great! I had the Viofo A119S. I now have that camera on my rear window and the video quality of this older camera is still working great for me. I have been using Viofo for the past three years with no problem. For me, Viofo is very reliable and i will stay with them. Great job again Andrew!!! Thank you!!

  217. Thanks for this video. I am surprised to find out that major brands (Samsung, Sandisk, etc) sell 128gb U1 Endurance level microSD card less than $40, while many DashCam manufacturers are selling their own memory cards for more than $100. Dashcam manufacturers might be getting a lot of profit from selling microSD cards at a higher margin, just like how Inkjet printer manufacturers are selling the printer at a discounted price but their inks at a higher price. Your video is the de facto standard video that I would like to recommend to others who are looking forward to upgrading their dashcam memory capacity.

  225. Great video with an amazingly well detailed article on your website. Read the whole thing and the level of details is fantastic. In Australia our houses have very low building standards, this article was a wealth of knowledge to improve home security for a very small investment. Having a home broken into isn't just a monetary loss, it's a violation of your space

  226. Andrew youre gonna blow up with this format, keep up the great work
    5
  227. Fantastic video and channel! Could you make a video discussing the differences in safety regulation for trucks, SUVs, and cars?
    5
  228. Thank you for the insane amount of work you put into this!
    5
  229. It‘s important to note that the geometry of the tread is only scratching the surface, no pun intended. The tread for example is made of different rubber compounds that have different properties.
    5
  230. Whenever I search for dash cam information that is detailed, I inevitably find my way to your channel for unbiased info. You are thorough and I am able to make decisions I would otherwise hesitate to make. Many thanks for your info,time and leaving me with options without a hard sell.
    5
  231. Thank you for all your extensive effort. You saved me a lot of time when selecting a dash cam and accessories!
    5
  232. Fascinating video! And great production values all around. The giant storm tunnels in my city are occasionally visited by kayakers. Though I've read some scolding comments from engineers that warn it's dangerous. Me, I just walk a few hundred meters in and back to admire the graffiti.
    5
  233. The editing for this must of taking ages. well done. I watched this with my dad and it was really good

  234. Great video!

  235. I’m in the fire protection industry . You did a great job explaining how these systems work and how they tie into each other

  236.  @Lam  There's a piece of farm equipment developed in California row crop root vegetable fields. It prevents the tires of a trailer on which they sort the crop from running over the crop by a set of gears between the tractor and trailer. The data from that gear set feeds back into a computer in the farm tractor which then steers to keep the trailer tires in between the rows of crops decreasing waste in crushed vegetables. It is brilliant in its simplicity, something to consider covering in the future.

  241. they were TOO rigid. Yea they held up in accidents well, but that basically means the passengers were subject to more force. It's the same problem a smart car has, no crumple zones.

  245. Great video as always, Andrew!

  246. I watch all your videos even though I already own one after following your recommendations long ago. One bit of feedback, I would recommend running a de-esser filter over your voice track, I particularly noticed the sibilance in this video, 2:00 - 2:15 at the beginning and end of words. Thank you for all your effort and professionalism.
    4
  247. thank you i made my decision! Only video i found that put heat into account. Especially in these 120 degree Fahrenheit summers

  248. Outstanding job once again, my a119v2 has recorded to many close calls of idiots on the road.

  251. This was so helpful, thanks so much!

  252. I got the A129 for Christmas and love it the image quality is better then I expected night and day when through my rear window 5% tint you can still see great and for $200 with several accessories you can't beat it I'm very happy with it
    4
  253. Funny how the people who care about me the most are the ones who pay for when I die or get injured.
    4
  254. Found this video through Reddit, never watched your content before - but if your future videos are engaging as this, I can't wait. Learning about niche interesting stuff like this, presented in a nice way is really great to watch. Keep it up my friend!
    4
  255. Nowadays protecting the vehicle is often just as large an issue for the insurance companies as bodily injury, which is why cars that are expensive but safe don't have cheap insurance.
    4
  256.  @Lam  I found it clear enough in your labeling it as "escape time". However there are many people who are seemingly averse to reading these days, and a graph or chart will be what they focus on so they might miss it.

  257. Wow, a revolution in tire making machines

  266. Thank you for the update! I was waiting for this
    4
  267. Kinda forgot to address the issue with busting the door down via the hinge side. Very simple and cheap solutions for that but a high security lock doesn't do any good if the other door jamb is more vulnerable
    4
  268. What an in-depth review! Thank you for making this video.

  276. Great video for those that didn’t already research car safety! Regardless, I’m not buying anything newer than 2006 and I’d rather die at the steering wheel of my 1996 Daewoo Tico than replace it.
    3
  277. I love your content Andrew, but the graphs you used to illustrate the difference in reaction time of the alarms was confusing to me The way you presented it makes it unclear what the"smoldering fire escape time" means. On first look it reads as if the photoelectric TOOK 35 minutes to alert while the ionizing took 4. What I assume it means is that the photoelectric gave 35 minute of warning before the smolder turned into flame. Just food for thought on that data presentation, loved the video
    3
  278. Thanks, Andrew. I have the VIOFO A119 v3 on my wish list. I will buy through your link when I am ready. Cheers from Winnipeg.
    3
  279. Do you have a preference or recommendation of the V3 vs Duo? I'm debating getting the rear cam... but it seems the V3 has newer tech in it. Would there be a noticeable diff in image quality between the 2?
    3
  280. Can my daughter use this camera - as a "backup camera". The question is - can she hit one button to cause the FULL SCREEN to show the back camera (quick/easy)... then switch back? thx for you time on doing this review - very helpfull!
    3
  281.  @Lam  often you can tell by construction. If the stair well has large windows and generally is more for looks it’s likely more of a convenience stairwell. Often it won’t go the full heigh of a building either. It also potentially will not have fire doors which leaves users prone to smoke, fire, explosion, etc. I haven’t seen too many personally but I have read about them in my fire fighting textbook before. I am trained in NFPA fire fighter level one and two. If you have more questions I would definitely answer them. I’d even send you my number, privately of course. I love talking about this stuff haha. I’m very passionate about fire safety. Love the video by the way. Very informative.

  282. "Business Expense Dessert (Hello CRA)" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a YouTube video.

  286. Best Dashcam review in the entire Youtube. This is the quality and information I was looking for. Really like the way you come back and update your review on changes and failures.
    3
  287. My V2 has been performing perfectly over the last 1.5 years. I’ve been sending friends/family your excellent reviews. Thanks!

  288. Great job Andrew! I'm looking forward to more videos. (still miss the unbiased dash camera reviews)
    3
  289. Oh wow! I never even knew about how it could be safer to stay put! Very cool video!
    3
  290. John Padilla yes, but not at night. 4K means more pixels and each pixel will get less light in night environments. But for day driving 4K is a lot better.
    3
  291. great video! The humour sprinkled through the video was an excellent touch!
    3
  292. I would love a tree test. Currently that seems to be one of the worst crashes to be in, because it is a pretty small structure, that does not move an inch. So you have a high resistance and small area of impact And trees close to roads scare me tbh.
    3
  293. Thank you for the review. You are the best - trustworthy.

  294. Oh wow, it was so cool to randomly find the inspiration for the Storm Drain location from Mirror's Edge!

  295. You know you've made it on YouTube when Andrew Lam features your videos on an explainer for why Japan doesn't usually use grounded outlets
    3
  296. When I started to look at dashcams I was totally confused as what to buy. Andrew's website was great in analyzing the various makes and models. I focused on what he has to say about the Viofo 119v2. I went ahead and purchased it and after a few hiccups to install as the instructions are too clear it works great. I had to use some intuition to solve my roadblocks. The picture quality, sound is the greatest for the price. I don't need anything more and it has options that I don't even use. I went ahead an purchased a second one for my other car. Have been using both for four months and very pleased. Great work Andrew and crew. Keep up the good work.

  297. 12:07 fire services can actually employ makeshift overpressure zones. We have dedicated fans for that. On top of that our station usually sends a team to set up the correct ventilation requirements for this as part of the scouting in such buildings. Another reason why you should not try to leave through a smoke filled staircase, we can make it safe, even older ones.
    3
  298. I needed this so bad because I am going to start driving soon and need one
    3
  299. Are you still standing behind the A129 Duo? I'm ready to buy two systems for both my vehicles and want to ensure longevity and reliability.

  300. I like the immense study into all of these. Great help.

  301. Andrew, thank you for this but especially for natural v. synthetic materials deonstration! I'm saving this video.

  302. Thank you Andrew and car cam central. 19:10 I see you’re Lexar 633x is still alive (  ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
    3
  303. Andrew, Thank you again for yet another articulate, in-depth, beautifully filmed and edited review! Because of your review, I will be purchasing five of the V3s for Christmas. Yet again, this review is solid proof you have become one of the best/top reviewers on YouTube! Thank you
    3
  304. Just a suggestion that many of the big channels like Veratasium do: try experimenting with thumbnail and title changes over the first few dozen hours of an upload. It can significantly affect a videos performance. I’ve no ticked that Veratasium will change both thumbnail and title up to 3-5 times in the first day of an upload. I’m sure his team is monitoring the metrics and experimenting with which combination performs the best.
    3
  305. Good review! From my comparison I thought the pro had better video quality than the V2 though! I updated both firmware when I tested. V3 is for sure an improvement over them all.

  306. Excellent reviews very detailed and organized . I subscribed because of the quality of your reviews. I love your comparison documents on screen.

  314. Brain hurts from all the info. But glad I watched it.

  315. Awesome review, very handy selection of best picks for specific usages, I also appreciated the work done on international sourcing. I was wondering, dashboards and windscreens now look like a mess of gadgets, will someone ever invent a rear view mirror that integrates both a front and interior dash cams, and maybe even displays the view from a third rear dash cam, so no mirror at all, more like a LCD screen? Maybe add speakers to the device's microphone so it can be used as a Bluetooth handfree phone. This way, dash cams would be more discrete and less susceptible to theft. Also, any idea if the Viofo Duo will come in 1440p? It seems like the dash cam market is still evolving a lot and does not have standard sets of specifications or norms for the hardware, the video feeds, etc., that would help the consumer, thus making reviews like yours invaluable. I think cars now need a second dedicated battery if we want to run all these new electronic devices, especially overnight cams and sensors, without hitting the main battery. And more integration, as I have only one cigarette lighter socket... ;)

  316. This is like an episode of something on the learning channel.. but better in every way! I love this video, only half way through but totally enthralled. Love the production value too, as someone who loves geography and video editing 😂
    3
  317. Great video! I'm quite surprised chicago Water Management wasn't mentioned tho
    3
  318. I love 💕 your videos. Straight to the point, I always follow your advices thank you for making my life more. Simple
    3
  319.  @Lam  I would have no problem doing that for my own car, but I'm looking to buy dash cams for about 4 other people that aren't too tech savvy. Haha. I am in between this and the Garmin 55w. The 55w has camera to phone streaming, but no capacitor. A capacitor is pretty much necessary since I live in Florida. Might just go with this, but do you have any thoughts on other options? Btw, thank you for replying to my first comment. Highly appreciate it!
    3
  320. Excellent video! Came here from reddit where someone suggested your video (from a flashback post of Hurricane Hazel) I just finished watching your car safety video and that was great too. Definitely sub'd - keep it up - looking forward to more informative videos!
    3
  321. Yet another informative video. Keep up the good work. I didn't know ANSI tested locks (should have known, they test everything).
    3
  322. Very informative video! I learned a lot about fire safety. For clarity, please consider replacing the word "as" in your scripts to show causal relationships. Since "as" is used to mean "concurrently," and to compare, and it's used in various types of grammatical clauses and phrases, its meaning can sometimes be unclear until the sentence has concluded. Therefore, using the words, "since," "because," "thus," and "therefore" make cause and effect relationships unmistakable. Thus, your content's information will be easier to digest for those with focus issues, processing issues, and those for whom English is a second language. We can absorb your wonderfully presented information without mentally re-contextualizing something because we thought you meant "as" to convey "meanwhile" when it turns out you meant "since." Thanks for all your hard work!
    3
  323. I just wanted to say that i like what youre doing here with this video and the last one. Ive seen some of your dashcam videos when i was trying to pick one to buy, but youtube recently suggested your previous video about gaurdrails - and then this one today. These new videos are great and I hope to see more!
    3
  324. Thanks, this was a great, high-quality compilation of info.
    3
  325. What dash camera do I buy?
    3
  326. i used to work for a museum. we had 3/4 of a million CFM smoke exhaust and 1/4 million CFM smoke intake unit. the 1/4 million was hidden behind our dinosaur exhibit and didnt work...till i annoyed my boss enough for us to rappel 40 feet down to work on it. turns out they didnt install the fuses or belt properly. would have never worked. glad i was annoying as a teenaged volunteer maintenance worker.

  327. It was very interesting. Thanks for your work 👍

  328. really appreciate this detailed review. so helpful! You guys rock!! you should get a commission from these 2 companies.

  329. 6:28 Wow, what a lot of views and subs
    3
  330. Another good review. What is your choice on a stealth dual camera, with WiFi and park mode? Preferably using capacitor? I have a mini 0906 it's small but the shape is not stealthy as I wanted.
    3
  331. As a direct result of watching this video, I’m replacing 3 smoke detectors that not only use the old ionizing tech, but also (as I discovered when I was checking them) were manufactured in 2002, so are long past due to be replaced anyway. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
    3
  332. I love your channel, and this video in particular! As a person who has a lot of fire-anxiety, and as an engineer, this video gave me a lot of appreciation for modern technology and the hard work of countless people to keep society safe
    3
  333. extremely helpful! excellent job!

  334. I really like the video! (Although, you may want to switch up the thumb nail as I almost missed the video scrolling through, you may get a better click through rate otherwise)
    3
  335. Wow this is amazing content. I had no idea Japan had such crazy flood control infrastructure. Truly incredible!
    3
  336. Watching this from Mexico where at least 70% of the houses aren't grounded. I didn't even know what a GFCI was before watching this video
    3
  337. Mamy reasons actually: 1) smoke can obstruct the door safety mechanism light sensor and you cannot close the door as it will keep sensing the door is blocked. Fire lifts in fire mode are manually operated to prevent this. 2) smoke may enter the lift shaft. Fire fighting lobbies are pressurized to prevent smoke from entering the lift lobby. Normal lift lobbies do not have pressurisation. 3) fire may damage the power supply to the lift, or control system to the lift. All lift are using essential power with fire rated cable. Essential means there is a backup power supply in case the building power goes out. Changeover is not instantenous. 4) in a fire all lifts will go down to grd floor and open and shut down upon receiving a fire signal from the main fire alarm panel. Only a fireman switch at the fire lift can override this
    3
  338. So weird that you're based in my hometown of Toronto, and the one city you used when you showed a map of retention ponds was my new home, Charlotte. But yeah, there's a ton of retention ponds here and all over the south. There's two in just my neighborhood.
    3
  339. Thank you for the great review. I currently have earlier versions of the Viofo A119's in both my cars. I'm going to move those to the rear window, and I think these new V3 models will be a nice upgrade for my front windshields.
    3
  340. Now IIHS is taking rear seat passengers into evaluation. Lots of US' cars arent built or designed with that test in mind. (Contrast to EU market's ENCAP test, which always include rear seat passengers, like children.) Lots of US market's cars failed for rear passengers safety. Also, there's another giant elephant in the room, which is rear end crashes. Lots of car's rear structures are much weaker than the front. Seems only NHTSA FVMSS 301 has some kinds of test. But only for fuel leakage tests.
    3
  341. How are you not at a million subscribers? The presentation is immaculate and the topic is really interesting!

  345. Great review! And thanks for all the info in the description, specially the one leading to the right micro USB cards to purchase and even updating when the Transcend price increased. Ps. That stretch on Dixie when they were doing construction was absolutely insane. Always wondered how there weren't more accidents than that.

  352. 7:54 "most people have no idea when buying tires" is such an understatement! Even as someone who has managed and owned a fleet of trucks, I still find it challenging to get the proper information about the various brands and types of tires when I am making a purchase. Thankfully, the technology is ahead of us not only with the tires but the installation equipment. One very important factor in making a purchase is the "quality" of the tire shop you choose. And that's another decision that does not come easily if you do not take the time to educate yourself.

  355. Lisbon is doing both, it seems; we literally have a few TBMs drilling massive drainage tunnels beneath the main avenues (all of which used to be small subsidiaries of the Tagus, which fortunately doesn’t flood – other than that one time in 1755, where it became a tsunami), but also have water retention parks alongside the former Alcântara river.

  367. The Samsung Pro Endurance spec sheet states that its a MLC product. However, its Samsung marketing team's strategy trying to make their product better. THe Samsung Pro Endurance uses, in fact, TLC (which technically is still a MLC, just like saying a square is a type of rectangle). many of Samsung's product such as the 970 evo/plus spec sheet states it uses MLC, but has been proven to be TLC. Hopefully this comment will be noticed so you wont be bashed on by other people because of MLC/TLC confusion.

While we do have unique terms and identifiers for 3-bit and 4-bit multi level cells, meaning MLC can sometimes be used to specifically refer to 2-bit cells, it is not a strict convention."

  369. I had a cheap Kidde smoke alarm before, its false alarm over nothing, like nothing, in the middle of the night, it drove me nut I took it off the ceiling. I bought a Panasonic one to replace it, it never ever gave me false alarm ever again, I guess it is the latest generation detector that has very good detection profile.

  375. Thank you so much for your reviews! I'm looking for a front/rear dash cam. My budget is <$300. Is it worth it to get the Street Guardian 9663, or is it similar in quality to Viofo a129. Night/Day quality for BOTH front and rear cameras, (as little glare as poss) is super important to me. Parking recording, wifi/gps not so much. Which would be the better option? If Street Guardian has better front AND rear cam quality, I wouldn't mind paying extra, but if quality is similar, then I prefer to stick to Viofo a129. Thank you so much!!
    2
  376. The algorithm recommended you today, I'm now binge-watching your videos, they are great. Love your style! I only wish there were more of your newer videos already :)

  380. My V3 arrived a few minutes ago, wohoo!! I can't believe how small this thing is, and the suction cup mounts for it, wow! It's literally less than half the size of my Escort Redline radar detector. I had no idea it would be this tiny! The lil suction cup mounts are like little miniature mounts for smart phones, cute lil things lol! Now its time to read the do's and dont's and get it up and running. Happy day today!! It came with the Transcend U1 32gb card, that should get me by til I get a couple of the Samsung Pro Endurance cards
    2
  381.  @walters8088 the false alarm could have been due to bugs or spiders in the alarm. If so, is that really the fault of the manufacturer? Don’t assume every failure means the product itself is poor quality.

  388. Excellent video and all the information I needed. You confirmed what I found from articles about the Viofo A129 Duo. Thank you.
    2
  389.  @Lam  Well my thought is... is it worth having a duo cam setup if you still can't read plates and or see images clearly. Then I rather have just a front facing cam. But if A129 Duo Pro comes out with better quality then it might worth the wait. I'm in no rush. Plus, I'm dreading running cable to the back of the car. :-P
    2
  390.  @Lam  answers to your questions. How did you find out about dash cams? --- Well I've seen dash cams for a long time on youtube.. with funny and not so funny situations. I remember most of them coming our or Russia at first. Being they had a real need for them... because of all the accidents and/or fake accidents. Drivers needed to protect themselves. When did you decide you were going to buy one? ---- I've been looking at dash cams for a while now... at least a year... just been waiting for the right one... as I said in my other reply.... not a super high priority. I rather get quality than something quickly. But I also, dot want to spend $350-500 either.. I'm NOT a driver by profession. Any other videos or articles that were helpful? --- I've been looking at reviews on other Youtube channels and/or articles/forums.
    2
  391. Glad to see you keeping us all updated on the next best dash cams. 😁👍

  392. Talking about interesting flaws in safety rating without mentioning in ALL OF HISTORY the testing dummies are MALE, with a male build, weight and height. Women aren't even considered when talking about car safety??? And you didn't even mention it?
    2
  393. I actually splurged ad got the Michelin Cross Climate 2 from all the research I did into tires. I found so many afforable tires even with high mileage rating, where not close to their expected performance after little wear. I love my Cross Climates and you definitely get what you pay for. I think tires need a better standard for safety.

  400. Fantastic, this video is right on time! I bought the A119 V2 as per your recommendation 2 years ago, and recently bought another car so I need another dashcam. I was looking at this one, and just searched for reviews. What a coincidence
    2
  401. Great info' as usual. I have used the Viofo A119S for three years without a problem. I will get the Viofo A119V3. It looks like another winner. Thanks again!!!
    2
  402. Perfect timing. Thank for great content

  405. so at what point do these safety tests keep evolving and everyone needs to ditch their nearly new car for a newer car ? see my point ?

  406. 13:19 not surprising, screws aren’t made to have shear strength
    2
  407. hey man, watched your road barrier vid and was delighted to find this one, really quality content, keep it up, really want to see more of it! (car stuff is cool, but honestly any kind of content that goes into the details of often overlooked clever engineering seems like a good road to follow)
    2
  408. I have long wondered how such an understated component can perform such an important task. Tires, in my opinion, put up with more abuse than any other part of a vehicle. In a car, only four small patches of rubber connect the vehicle to the rest of the world. The amount of R&D that goes into tires must be amazing. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of the process.
    2
  409.  @Lam  Glad to help. Like many YouTubers I like watching road accidents videos from all over the world, and the obvious benefits quickly became clear, like having evidence in case of an accident where oneself or others are involved. (Interestingly enough, in South Africa, where I live, dash cams are not yet as popular as in most other countries). Around 2014 I bought a Garmin 20 for the vehicle I use for holidays, and I realized the footage, although not high quality, can also be used in holiday videos. After that I imported two A118s from China for my other two vehicles at $37 each, which I found was excellent value for money. When I installed them, they had the Viofo software on them, and I guess they were just unbranded units from Viofo. As I said earlier, they've both given me extremely good service over the last few years, and the quality of the footage is higher than that of the Garmin. Partly thanks to your video, I'm going to replace the Garmin with the A119 V3. The Garmin also sometimes want the the microSD card reformatted, while the Viofos have been very tolerant of different cards up till now. I like doing my research before I buy something by watching/reading reviews on the internet, and in this case yours convinced me to take the plunge with the V3.
    2
  410. Great work man. I really enjoy your new videos. They are super well done.
    2
  411. Appreciate the video and the website. Was going to grab a dual sensor photoelectric ionization sensor but after reading your site I realized its not Gen 8. So looks like I'll just go with a Gen 8/9 photoelectric unit.
    2
  412. I just want to say, your switch from dash cams to documentaries was elite
    2
  413. Great review! Very well done and gets right to the point. Two questions however: #1. How many hours of footage does this store with a 128GB - or - 256GB card at 1080p/30fps? #2. When plugging in the SD card into a computer to look through files, how does the footage organize itself? Are there two folders, one for the front and one for the rear camera? Thanks!
    2
  414. Andrew, fantastic and very thorough video. This is the quality content that I love to support on YouTube. I had a question... if it were your choice... what would you pick for a combination front-rear camera setup? I live in Southern California so extreme temperatures aren't too big of an issue. Please advise, thanks!
    2
  415. Excellent review. I am looking for one so good video.
    2
  416. Glad I found this channel! Nice and precise reviews. I'm currently planning to buy a Yi Smart Dashcam because of its features, price and availability in my country (PH) but it's pretty hot in here. Do you have other suggestions with the same price range/features that uses capacitor or better than the Yi Dash Cam? Thanks!
    2
  417. So I'm deciding to get a Viofo A129 Duo for my car, and it supports 256GB microSD, though I don't see a 256 card being recommended, are they not reliable? Are the cameras better off with a 128?
    2
  418. Holy, was just watching your vids last night and couldn’t be happier to watch a new one

  422. Based on your excellent reviews of the Viofo A129, which seems to be an A119 with fore and aft cameras, and the Viofo A119 v2, I went ahead and purchased the Viofo A119 v3 just a couple of weeks ago. I agree with your assessment and I am very pleased with my purchase. I purchased the GPS unit as well, mostly for the ease of disconnecting the dashcam so that I can easily take it either out of the car when I'm parked or hide it very well before getting out. Having lost a GPS navigator just a week prior to my purchase may have influenced that decision. I am still experimenting around with the video settings to get the same quality images that you show that you get with yours. It's nice to have that option. Oh, and one more point... your point on the warnings has already proved its worth. I like having a constant message and a constant beep warning me of a problem.

  423. Holy cow look who showed up. Hood to see you back

  425. I really wish you made more videos (or that you could, if you simply can't). Your vids (like this one, and the crash test one) provide info that is important to virtually anyone, and can genuinely help people stay safer and live longer.

  437. What about 9/11? It seemed to me that people died who tried to stay and wait for rescue. Of course it was built 50 years ago, but it still feels good to have a path to leave for “unknown unknown” situations.

  440. My $100 dash cam just got me a $35,000 settlement for an accident which occurred back in 2015. My attorney told me I would have received a fraction of that amount if anything without the video footage. Now that the case is settled I plan to release the footage showing the other car chasing me, swerving into me, braking in front of me and the aftermath of the collision when the car behind me slammed into my car at 70mph. Initially the video was damaged because my dash cam had no battery and the power loss of the collision prevented the file from being closed properly. The other driver would have been arrested on the spot and the trooper waited for the video but I had to take it home and purchase a utility to repair it. Everyone should have a dash cam with an internal battery backup that cannot be disconnected due to an impact and the dash cam should be of superior quality, do not cheap out.

  443. I am a fan of older especially American cars and I am wondering what I might do to say make a 69 Chrysler imperial into a safer car. How about 1) Side car door beams mounted behind outer skin and outboard of the window glass 2) Roll bar 3) dual brake cylinder 4) suggestions? I have a 60 ford truck setting in my garage that I would like to make safer. Its a very heavy built vehicle and certainly a couple of additional frame supports to tie the frame to the cab might help a lot...

  446. It’s good to see Sustainable Drainage and Flood storage being brought to the public attention :). I work in the design of both (most often the concept design phase). It’s a great industry to be in although quite often invisible to the public / end user at times. As you mention at the end the small scale approach to SuDS is often just as much about pollution control, improving biodiversity and making places generally nicer to live in, with better connections to water and the environment around us, than it’s focus on flood management. A lot of thought and effort goes into these mitigation measures and there are some really cool ideas and products being used. We are even recently seeing small storage systems designed to go under the foundations of buildings where space is at a premium. If you want some examples and case studies from Europe let me know an I can always send some links.

  447. Thank you Andrew! I've had two detectors in my house removed because they were faulty and had been slacking on replacing them - a bad move considering I work in fire protection. I just ordered three new detectors for my house that are made to the UL 217 8th edition.

  448. Hi Andrew - I learned so much from your video and it is enjoyable too. I have watched a few of your reviews now and I must say the quality of the finished product, your knowledge, your excellent speaking skills and your likability are outstanding! You mentioned the word trust in your SD card video and I for one can say I do trust you. Based on your honest, in depth yet easy to understand review I bought the Viofo A129 Duo yesterday as a gift for my husband. It arrived today!! He was surprised and excited! He is reading all the instructions right now. He is impressed so far. He'll install it on the weekend and I'll come back and tell you how that goes.  I got the Samsung Pro Endurance 128 GB SD card - thanks for that wonderful video as well!

  450. Super informative and interesting video! Just one thing - I spent the whole video wondering if my old apartment building had these safety features so the "In fact, the entire United Kingdom is educated on this" came as a bit of a surprise. I'm British. We are not educated on this. I've never seen that infomercial before despite plenty of fire awareness days at school during the 00's.

  456. Hello there! I wanted to thank you for the recommendation of Street Guardian SG9663DC Pro for our hot Texas weather. We contacted Jon Smejkal who runs Street Guardian USA - 775-419-6222 on August 27th. By August 29th it was on our front door. We pay $199 a year to Best Buy for their Total Home Geek Support. They have an automotive technician for our Best Buy in Frisco, Texas. It will be installed on September 4th for no charge. We are grateful for your video reviews, time and money spent, and insight for dash cams to help those of us in the general public. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your selfless efforts are to be applauded. We are thankful and appreciative to you in helping up wade through all of the options. By contacting Street Guardian USA directly instead of purchasing it through Amazon we were able to save 10 % as well! YOU are the BEST! Sincerely, Carole

  457. Great info but honestly I didn't get what I wanted. I'm too simple to get what you said. All I want is a cam that records front and back Front to be able to rotate to both sides And finally a button for me to save a moment or an accident or take a photo. All that with date and time saved on the screen Having that said, which cam should I get?

  465. Good video, talking about safety how it is. Many people don't know nothing about safety and they think their old cars are safe but in reality very old cars are not safe. People don't know that. I have researched a lot about cars safety and this is the reason why i know how unsafe very old cars are and there is a lots of point to choose new car you win a lot in crash. There is no death proof car, 90 km/h or 63 mph to hard big tree and it kills, but still new cars are 3-4 times safer than very old ones change is huge. Buy new cars.

  467. DCC- nice videos you produce! I appreciate the style and delivery and no-nonsense facts to help us make a more informed decision! Q#1- this back Friday, now into Cyber Monday specials abound, I’m considering the Rove 4K Stealth, it’s 25% off at $149, I can’t discover if this has a battery or capacitor, do you know? Q#2- The Rove 4K Stealth, can accommodate up to a 512k micro sd card, Rove recommends the Samsung EVO. There are different styles of the EVO, what would you suggest for a style?
    2
  468. thank you for making new video.
    2
  469. So you changed habits to use public transport and walk more to be more safe? Sorry but I travel 300km (170-180miles) from home to work, so that does not work for me. First thing to be safe is learn to drive good, but really god, from some professional driver or possibly trucker, and not just to know to hold steering wheel and be able to get licence

  470. I grew up in the age of evacuation and never ever take the elevator during a emergency, use the stairs. Now it's the exact opposite due to technology. Soon I swear dying from accidents will be rare and we only die from old age in the 1st world.

  474. As a former NICET Level IV technician, I learned something today and updated my knowledge. Thank you! My previous answer was "Why not both? Another cause of nuisance alarms in photoelectric detectors is steam, whether from cooking (boiling water) or a good hot shower. And then there is the need for cleaning - little spiders and their microscopic webs are the worst, although drywall dust is a problem for photoelectric devices, as well. carry on!

  475.  @Lam  It's kind of amazing the 2nd gen Nest came out in 2015 and is UL 217 compliant. After researching the different types of fires and detectors in 2016, I installed Protects in four locations between 2016 and last year. It's unfortunate Google largely abandoned development of the Nest product line, though.

  476. Hmmm, could be a glitch in their system or perhaps too many orders came in at once. BBMC normally has good customer service. Did they do anything for you when you said you were disappointed? Also glad I could help you out.
    2
  477. The building you referenced in Toronto is now known as the Phoenix. They had someone paint a massive almost full height mural on the side of the building. That particular fire is also responsible for a giant shift in how toronto fire deals with high-rise incidents. It's a great rabbit hole to go down

  483.  @Lam  Living in Arizona and having a law enforcement background, I use the motto "If it's not written down or photographed, it didn't happen!" Thus a dash cam is a must with the volume of insurance fraud in Arizona. I decided to buy one about three months ago when I witnessed a brake check that resulted in a collision and and the offending drivers behavior quickly became apparent it was insurance fraud. I used a bewildering array of video's on YouTube. Spoke with electronics guru's, and played with a few camera's from Best Buy.

  485. i mean, before i even watch the video, i disagree with the title’s assumption that a car can be safe to begin with. although, after catching glimpse of the comments, it looks like that’s going to be covered in the video itself
    2
  486.  @Lam  Thank you for your interest . I understand. I'll use it like that.

  487. This is an excellent overview of the problem and its potential future solution, but I would really like more information on the optical wavelength differential technique of particle size assessment and software algorithm discrimination of nuisance smoke vs real fire situations. I'd really like to see some of these new models tested in real world scenarios too.

  512. Regarding how USA's electrical system and appliances and grounding work, you nailed it exactly. In my case, I knew all these things by 1968 (at age 9) by reading my father's books on electricity and electronics (which is why I ended up becoming a computer programmer and an electronics engineer as my professions). But most humans haven't a clue as to how electricity, electronics, computers, or other technology works. Your explanation of grounding in US appliances and home electrical systems is exactly correct: "ground" (and the all-important G-to-N cross-coupler in the main electrical panel) is there to trip breakers quickly in the even that hot shorts to the outer metal case of an appliance. (This is why electrical apparatuses not having metal cases usually use two-wire cords and plugs: no need for ground because no metal case to shock people.) As for Japan, the information in this video was all news to me, because I knew nothing about Japan's electrical system. Thanks for enlightening me. In short, a well-made video. I just subscribed to your channel.

  513. Solid review thanks for the detailed and professional review

  514. Hi Andrew I Don't know if you know this but my former bussiness consultant is on the UL 217 committee he did a Full scale test in about 2000 showing that photo electric is better in smoldering fires
    2
  515. For 20 years I have made 'full depth sipes' a requirement for any tire I purchase. I don't personally know a single person who thinks it matters. I'm just an eccentric nutjob to them.

  516. Quite unfortunately this race to make the cars heavier has resulted not only in higher fuel and material usage but most importantly is high pedestrian injuries. At the same time as drivers injuries were going down, pedestrian injuries and deaths went up.

  525. Ayyy new video from Andrew Lam!
    2
  526. Awesome video. You def need to do a part 2 and 3 to share your research. Being short, I always loved bigger cars, eg a pickup. But I could never justify them bc of the usual poor gas mileage. But then we had kids and we got a minivan, which I loved. And recently I got a rivian. But I’m conflicted bc I know the 7k lbs will selfishly better protect my family. My 6-3 husband loves his small cars, but I don’t feel safe w the kids in his cars. The problem is that I see too many distracted drivers in the road.

  530. Subbed for Canada. Another GTA brother. I'll be going to Markham when I need new tires lol. This was my first video of yours and I really enjoyed it and think you should do the other parts of the tire mounting process like the alignment and balancing. I am glad you're all in. This sort of content is going to be way more interesting and fulfilling than the one time view of a dash cam review when going to purchase. Expanding to a more general engineering on cars and farm equipment will bring me back for sure. I'm not looking for another dash cam, you know what I mean lol.
    2
  531. I've literally seen all of those crash bars (except the France one) just in Canada alone, lol. I really enjoyed this! This is the first one of your videos that I've watched; it just came up in my video feed at random. I'll take a look at what else you've got. Great work! Thanks for all of this great information put into one wonderful video!
    2
  532. Can I view/stream videos from the dash cam to my cell phone? I don't care about remote viewing, but I'd like to be able to show law enforcement any video of an incident on the scene versus giving them my card to take back to the station.
    2
  533. Glad to see such a great explanation of this and a good breakdown of the differences. There's a reason I have both types of detector in my house, and I didn't just choose where each type was placed at random. The spots more prone to a fast starting, flaming fires have ionization detectors, and the rest are photoelectric.

  534. Thank you for the revue. I thought it was very professional, easy to understand an informative. Please keep making the videos I think there are very helpful. Great job. Thank you. William

  535.  @Lam   Hey Andrew. I'll be happy to answer any questions :) Until recently I didn't own a car (it's my first one), but the knowledge that dash cams exist in general have always been there in the back of my head. Plus my brother owns one since a few years now (XBlitz P500). Actually, I bought mine even before buying my new car, so I can have it immediately inside. In my opinion the dash cam is a must (especially if you live in the city with a lot of traffic), so you have the footage of any dangerous situations or collisions recorded. It's very helpful for your insurance company or the police to have a proof. I haven't decided yet if I should use the parking mode, because I only have a front cam and I own my parking space in the underground garage, so the risk of getting hit by another car or being vandalized is minimal imo. Regarding my choice of Viofo, at first I was about to buy 70mai Pro, but I watched a detailed comparison between A119 v3, 70mai and some Thinkware (by TVPizdys channel) and changed my mind in favor of Viofo A119 v3 (after that I watched a few more videos about A119 v3) and I don't regret paying a little extra to have this video quality :) Greetings from Poland, thanks for your reviews, Andrew!

  555. Hey Andrew! I used my V3 for the first time today! :) The audio is pretty incredible, it picks up my voice really well, and the radio even better. It captures the thump of my subs as well, pretty impressive for such a small unit! Very impressive audio. I left the protective covering on the lens and the video is still really impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference tomorrow with the plastic film removed. The video isn't silky smooth on playback (it is really nice though), I may tinker with the settings a bit as I'm sure its a FPS issue, but the paused picture is crystal clear, and that's prolly more important. So far after recording for roughly half hour of running errands, I'm pretty impressed with the results of the V3, both audio and video. It even picks up traffic beside my with the windows closed, really sensitive mic in this thing! Definitely happy with the V3, especially for the $$, excellent value! I'll get ya some pics on the twitters when I get it installed in my Pete :)

  561. The power tire spreader at 10:02 is for repairing tires. It spreads the tire to allow the person to grind the rubber to patch inside and to inspect for any tire flaws before retreading casings.

  564. The concrete monoliths are really wasting a resource. The soccer field requires a lot of piping and diversion infrastructure and misses the simpler opportunities in parking lots, traffic pork chops, streetside planting strips, rooftops and more. To manage water better we also need to harvest it to the soil starting in the countryside, on the shallower portions of hillsides, farms and ranches. This is a better alternative to letting it run off. Runoff creates flooding, drought, ground subsidence, sinkholes and heat wave problems when we use conventional methods. Small, frequent rainwater harvesting catchments from onsite materials are a better way to manage stormwater. These are often eddy-pool bioswales, raingardens, bunds, checkdams, etc. They employ biology to quickly absorb water to surface soil so plants can use it. These catchments slow, sink and spread water. They sequester carbon; increase shade; reduce irrigation and electrical costs; add water security; lessen soil loss; increase greenery; add beauty, etc when thoughtfully placed in the landscape. They are cheaper to do than many engineered solutions and often work better as well. Golf courses are ideal places for handling floodwaters as they're usually many more of them than soccer fields. Granted, golf courses usually get a lot more consistent use than soccer fields...

  569. Glad to see you're looking to share your keen insight to other areas. You will let us know if some phenomenal dashcam appears on the seen. How about investigating some of the new high (48v-50v) out door equipment i.e., lawn mowers, leaf blowers, edgers, etc. How well they work in comparison to gas. Are they interchangeable, length of use time compared to charge time. Thanks love your work. Gene in Houston TX

  571. There have been a lot of wooden high rise buildings lately built in Finland. The tallest one is in my city. And. Well it doesn't look like it's made of wood. And it isn't tall by american standards. Anyway. Those things are apparently a lot safer in fires than traditionally built ones. I don't understand all that was said about them. But. Well i trust the engineers. I guess. None of them has been in a fire yet, as far as i know. Hopefully won't be in a long while, but before that it won't be known if they really are as safe as engineers say.
    2
  572. welcome back 👌
    2
  573. In another review you mentioned that one of the important function of the dash cam is to be able to rotate to capture incidents driver's face the viafo camera does not rotate this is an important feature which viafo does not meet , what are your thoughts on this
    2
  574. With the V3 you can get a suction cup mount that will allow the cam to swivel. That's what I did for mine
    2
  575. You’re are very professional, gracias
    2
  576. Note on the B1W amazing cam for the money, and has excellent night quality shots for the city. My only complaint is the the G sensor is very sensitive even at lower settings at times. We hit a construction area on the daily that has those hard reflectors on the road and they always make it go off.
    2
  577. ok got it, both is best. either is acceptable but none is not
    2
  578. Taking a moment to appreciate the painstaking effort spent at 3:46 to align the camera & shot perfectly to blend in to the news story. Well done!

  581. Nice video as always, but I feel you should have put a disclaimer NOT to open or put tape on the alarm like you did (I know, it's a demonstration, but still...). Tampering could be dangerous...Also, modern furniture also have a layer of (sometimes toxic and/or cancerous) fire retardants, could have been a nice chapter subject or maybe for a future video ? Would also have been nice to say that those are hazardous wastes that you don't put in the trash. Cheers !
    2
  582. Thanks to your review I bought A119v2 almost 2 years ago. Very satisfied with it still. Only downside is lack of WiFi. Taking card out to transfer videos periodically is a drag. Is there an option to connect camera to your phone via cable, just to transfer videos?
    2
  583. Great review. Can you recommend a rearvire camera/dashcam combo. Thanks

  590. I looked at the link you have above, to read more on this product. I had read a review on Amazon that stated that Blackvue requires you to share your data with them, or you won't be able to use their app. With no way to decline to share. Not being able to use the app, if you choose not to share your data, renders this product useless. But not only do they want your data, they state that they will be sharing this information as well (albeit anonymously). If this is how Blackvue's app really functions, then shame on you for missing such an obvious point of discussion. Please consider making a thorough video review of their software. Including the complete installation and registration process. This time though, take off the gloves.

  594. Just found your channel today while, of course, looking for a good source on dash cams. I've watched 5+ videos, read several articles on your website and several posts on reddit. I must say I'm very impressed with your coverage. The effort you put into keeping information current with description edits and annotations, as well as, your response to comments is quite impressive. I feel so much more knowledgeable about dash cams now and I decided to try my hand at this tech with a A119 based on your recommendations (used Amazon link, BTW). Like I said, I was looking for a good source on dash cams. However, I would classify your information as a great source. I will definitely recommend your channel and website to others. Thanks and keep up the good work.
    1
  595. Per this video, I just got my A119! Firmware version STL_A119_20161031_V2.0 . Yes adhesive is black now. Does anyone know if you stick this on the tinted area above rear view mirror, see the tint at 3:09 mins. If I can stick it on tint with the lens sticking out below tint, the camera is less obvious. Maybe tint will come off when I remove it? ALSO: I wish I could figure out how to hook the dash cam power into my overhead lights, then i would not need a power wire running all over. Suggestion for IDing buttons by feel problem at 6:10 mins. I will put a small drop of super glue on the menu button's flat surface so I can feel which button I am touching.

  596. Hi thanks for replying. I actually wanted a bit more clarification around this. I am happy with your response. Cheers.

  597. Car Cam Central. I didn't finished the video the time I watched the video. I finished the second time. I realize it that you got everything or very much cover that I needed to know. I the opia 2 to but I decided to go with a Thinkware F770 instead because of the 2 channels. I should be getting on Thursday 03/22/2017. Can't wait 😊. Thanks Andrew. You're doing a great 👍 job.

  598. It't my personal cam now, I like the blackvue dr650 2ch a lot still but this one has a few features that finally got me to switch.
    1
  599. Thanks so much for the post! As of today (03/11/2017), you would still recommend the A119? I moved to Georgia and the drivers here seem to be worse than anywhere I've experienced -> I am looking for a dash cam. It would be my first, on a budget, looking to spend under $120, but that should include an SD card (I think 32GB should do, since I won't be saving any interesting footage I don't think, only accidents). I am hoping to get a hard-wire kit, the unit itself and card for the money. It is also in GA, so heat is going to be an issue in the summer. Seems that A119 is a good option due to the capacitor, correct? I want to ask this: 1) You say you got the A119 for free. You say that you were not affected by that. Deep down, would you still rate it this high if you had to pay out the $100? 2) When I did my first search for dash cams, the Rexing V1 had 4.5 stars and about 3,600 reviews. I am big on reviews, it usually makes the decision for me, and the A119 has only about 200 for total of 4.0 stars. I do prefer an honest and in-depth review like yours, but how would you match them head to head? I saw in your other video that you wouldn't recommend the V1 due to the low heat resistance? I see that the A119 has been available only since July 2016 and I assume Rexing has had a longer market presence (hence the longer period for reviews and such). 3) If I do go the route of the A119, is the extra $10 GPS logger worth it? It seems that you cannot purchase it separately. 4) Would you recommend a certain hard-wire kit? What do I look for, the same brand, or anything that has a mini-USB?
    1
  600. Thanks so much for your reply! I think I am actually sold on the A119. You seem to really be for it (I am sorry, didn't mean to question your integrity in your reviews, I just know when I get a free product, I tend to rate higher). I have couple more questions if you don't mind - I'm going on a road trip on Friday and want to order this Monday: 1)+3) I kind of want the stealthiest way possible and it seems that the GPS allows for the cable to go upwards, correct? Rather than an awkward bent from the side. 2) I saw your review about the budget dash cams before I saw this one, I was just wondering if you had anything else to add aside from what was already in the video. My main thing is video quality (which you say A119 has better) and heat resistance for the Georgia summers (capacitor in it that is). 4) I appreciate your input on the hard-wire kits, but I don't think I can spare that in my budget. What do you think of this one? https://smile.amazon.com/Spy-Tec-MiniUSB-Fuse-Kit-M/dp/B01N0GR4ON/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1489380845&sr=8-2&keywords=dash+cam+hardwire+kit Same company and it has a fuse tapper. I know you said in your article that it won't save my battery from draining. Basically my two goals for that are these: goal 1 - for the dash cam to start with the ignition being turned on, goal 2 - to hide wires and not have to have the 12V plug taken up (although I have two). I have had my car damaged while being parked - would this kit allow for the recording of the outside on the motion sensor function of the A119? I drive my vehicle daily, so don't think draining the batter would happen.
    1
  601. Thank you for all the replies. I actually ordered the A119 without the logger, because $10 (believe it or not) really does make a difference now. I can see how it can be less useful in court and I did notice in other videos the camera really sticks out more. I don't believe that I'll be removing it often. If I find myself needing it, I know it's available by Spy Tec for about $12 (I contacted them and they said that their hard-wire kit has a warranty also). I also purchased the 633x card, because it was a decent price and the Transcend was not available. I just want an automatic way for the camera to start recording when I turn the key - I have done Google research and found that the windshield wiper fuse is a great spot, as those don't work without the key turned to ACC/ON. Overall, I want to thank you both for your replies and genuine answers, as well as a good review. I shop mostly based on reviews (that's why I considered the Rexing in the first place), but your review swayed me to the A119. Thank you so much for your help and your good reviews. When money isn't so tight, I'll be on the lookout for your videos for a rear camera as well. Thanks!

A few hours ago my wife and I were walking into Walmart and she happened to mention as we're walking through the parking lot that I should probably get a new dash cam soon as my old one had failed a few months ago. Fast forward to now and here we are. Good video, and I appreciate the information (and will act on it), but I haven't watched or searched for a dash cam video in over 2 years. No reason for youtube to recommend it to me other than that conversation earlier. Kinda creepy lol.

  606. I just bought the Rexing V1 WiFi Dash Cam for $80, before watching the video. Can anyone recommend to have it or return it back? I thought WiFi is a good option to have and it has a super capacitor.

  609. the ''firefighters using elevators'' part honestly surprised me, because every elevator has a sign saying "in case of fire, use the stairs" so i always thought elevators are not usable due to the heat breaking their systems... never would have guessed it was to save firefighters valuable time and effort to reach higher up areas in flats and other tall buildings

  610. For the underground storage facilities with permeable membrane bottoms, how to they stop the build up of sediment in these systems? Won't sediment eventually build up and reduce the storage capacity of these systems?

  612. Interesting. Went to see what other vids you do, and found I've watched everything that isn't about a dash cam even though i don't remember your channel... I hope when you have more non dashcam content that you consider splitting channels off for that ither stuff, because I'd subscribe to, say, videos like these, but not for dashcam stuff

  638. Hey Great review and I do appreciate the "pause to read" comments - it reminds me that I should do that to get the rest of the info. I live in the high desert and he in the summer is a problem as well as the cold in the winter. Yes it gets very cold and we get snow... lol

  639. I’m curious about your thoughts on Los Angeles, it’s flood control system and attempts to retain and store rainwater for use in our water supply.

  640. I like your new concept, just subscribed because of that. It feels like a mix of the channel "Technology Connections" (mundane things explained to hell yet interesting), "Practical Engineering" (Interesting, but focused on public infrastructure) and "Wendover Productions" (High Quality Documentations on Economic Topics and there's always planes involved somehow). I dig this. You might have a thing for "Why is this mundane thing like this?" type of content. Go for it! Also please don't crash into "cheap-views-grabber"-valley. I hate it when that happens. The most interesting and often biggest Youtube Channels I know are those run by people genuinely interested in what they're doing and NOT going primarily for the cash.
    1
  641.  @Lam  is DEFINITELY a brand worth building. That is exactly how I prefer reviews to be!!! None of that extra content that allllllllll the other channels tend to do, or hyped up "what's up guys" approach. I have to mention again, it was shot extremely well. I adore how well it was done. You and your team do GREAT SHOTS. It might not be easy, but it's creatively worth it.

  644. I don't know how this man can turn something so boring into something interesting, educating and useful it's very impressive work Andrew keep it up you have a lot of potential. I also like how you make sure you do research before you make a video a lot of YouTubers out there don't and just talk a load of trash for over 10, 20 minutes.

  646. The problem is that Samsung defines MLC differently from others. Many of their storage product such as the 860 evo or 970 evo, they tend to use the term 3-bit MLC (which is just TLC NAND). The article from Samsung Newroom can actaully be "3-bit" MLC NAND

  649.  @Lam  Your guess is right, I live in Thailand, building code here only mandate having smoke detectors in commercial buildings, most houses here doesn't have one unless you buy one for yourself. I live in a 2 storey semi-detached house and feel that it would be good to have some smoke detectors in case fire broke out while I'm asleep or something. I learnt that most of cheap detectors being sold are outdated models from oversea, so I looked into what most commercial buildings are using, and it seems that Panasonic is very popular choice. The model is SH28455911, I love how it has voice notifications for everything, "low battery" "fire" "fire test" etcs., no need to set up apps or looking up manual of what the beeps meant. I think it was specially made for Asean market, humidity is main issues with poorly calibrated detector, too many false alarms and it became useless as people took it down.
    1
  650.  @Lam  Yes, most of commercial smoke alarm here are Panasonic, I worked as contractor before, had nothing to do with smoke alarm system, but I noticed that it's everywhere, so I just feel that it must be reliable that most sites choose it. And it's true. Never had false alarm with steam and it sounded when I test it with actual paper smoke.

  651. And now I know why I bought my Nest Gen 2! (I just knew cooking didn't set them off)

  652. The videos you put out are truly incredible. As a person with no connection to engineering or how things work, all I can say is that they are so engaging and make me wonder.

  653.  @Lam , thanks for response. I bring it back in the house every time I'm done driving, so I don't forget about it. Also, I don't turn it on until I've started the car. I never forget that part. haha! I rarely drive now so it's not a huge factor for me but I do still like using it with my short jaunts to the store or doctor or whatever. lol!

  655. Thank u so much....i wish V3 would come dual as well ... Do u plan on dual cams for 2020?
    1
  656. First I want to say that I admire you for testing cameras that you purchase and you are providing honest reveiws. Now my actual question. After my last car accident I finally got myself a dual dash camera system. I chose it from someone elses top 10 video. My choice was Falcon Eye Prime 2. Almost from the start the system was malfunctioning and I didn't notice it. It wasn't due to the memory card and the main camera was replaced because I got the extended warranty. The replacement worked ok for a short time, but because I monitored it closer I caught it not recording when it should have been. It was set for 3 minute clips. There would be many 3 minute clips back to back and then there would be many just over one minute clips with gaps as much as 43 seconds. Then it would record flawless 3 minute clips and then bach to just over a minute. I'm told its the memory card. They really don't want to send me another camera. They are sending me a free memory card to try. How long should a memory card last before it should be replaced? Is there a better dual system that cost no more than 200 dollars that you recommend? Thanks

  658. Many of us remember the firestone recall that ford explorers would roll over if a front blowout occured. I worked at a firestone retailer and as this recall broke out we got a corporate memo that explained that it was not the tires but an out of court settlement between firestone and ford that resulted in firestone taking the heat for 700 million dollars. Basicly ford paid for every tire we recalled plus a cushion for lost sales due to loss of consumer confidence. The recall was for the wilderness a t model suv steel belted 235×75×15 size tire. That particular tire had been used on chevrolet s 10, gmc sonoma, toyota tacoma, and 4 runners, mazda b2000, and other models sold overseas. Nobody had issues with tires but ford did and here is why. Ford engineers decided to use a twin i beam style front suspension that had been so successful on the full size pickup line. It was scaled down and lightened to operate under the explorer front end. They performed horribly and rode stiff and noisy because they did not allow for a change in steering geometry at different heights and conditions. For example heavy braking will compress the supension and the tires would be held at a tilted in condition(positive camber) wich is acceptable and does not have problems in handling. However a single tire blowout would result in the tire being held in an extremely negative camber wich would force the now exposed corner of the rim at such an angle that it would gouge into the asphault causing a rollover. Ford knew this was an issue but sold the vehicles regardless. It was also found that the customers complained that the ride was too bumpy and as a result ford dropped the operating inflation of the front tires to 28 psi. This was in direct conflict with the 45 psi inflation mandated by the tire labeling. That is the pressure needed to support the load that the tire is rated for. Underinflated tires result in excessive sidewall flex and an overheated condition occurs wich degrades the tire and a catastophic zipper rupture of the sidewall is what happened to some 390 explorers wich resulted in high speed roll overs. Unfortunately many were fatal and a class action lawsuit was lodged against ford. Ford turned and filed a lawsuit gainst firestone wich in all probability would have been dismissed leaving ford holding the bag so in an attempt to shirk responsibility ford offered firestone a large lump sum to take the heat. Ford then took the results of that finding and used it to defeat the class action lawsuit, or tried to anyway. Like i said in a previous post, i will NEVER own a ford product EVER!

  660. I wish there was weight standardization. For example, 800kg cars group which doesnt exceed 800, 1000 group, 1200 group, 1400 group, 1600 group, etc. Designs would be required to be in ±3% the weight group's weight limit.

  663. I saw my old tires the Altimax RT43 which were great when new. I changed them when they still have plenty of threads because I felt they were slippery. I already put 130k on it and they were sigificantly noiser than when they were new. I did not notice that the thread actually changed that much over time. I changed to Toyo qt on Oct 2021, and I see this1 month after I changed tire.

  668. If you know, nothing will grow on the tons of smaller streets because they are in constant use - why not make them permeable? Streets take a lot of space and if they are gravel or grid slabs, they could let a lot of water just disappear into the ground.

  679. My smoke alarms a photoelectric and were installed in 2017. We always had them linked together and the old ones would go off all the time bc I think they were ionization. These new ones work better and less cooking making them go off. They did go off once when I got out of the shower and let the steam out but I can understand that bc it’s right outside of my bathroom door. It’s has gone off a few times from cooking bc my grandpa likes to burn his food and one time left it on and sat down and forgot, he is hard of hearing so he has tv headphones so he didn’t hear the smoke detectors but thankfully our new (2017) ones are hooked up to our alarm system and notify us. If we don’t disarm our alarm it automatically calls a fire truck and the police. That did happen once so at least we know it works. 😅

  709. Most of the commenters below have a limited understanding of electricity. And I suspect the people calling themselves engineers and electricians are not. Andrew's explanation is reasonably accurate, despite what many here claim. Bonding devices together, and grounding an electrical system, aim to do just one thing: return the current to the source. That's it. The goal is to interrupt the circuit quickly when a fault occurs. When the energized part of a circuit comes in contact with the bonded side (let's say the metal body of that toaster) it sees a direct path back to the panel. The current rises dramatically in microseconds, far beyond the trip voltage of the relevant circuit breaker, and within fifty milliseconds the breaker trips, de-energizing the entire circuit. You don't need to be home at the time; it's a virtually foolproof design. The Japanese system is ridiculously behind the times. A central GFCI is an active device, vulnerable to internal failure. It also plunges the entire building into darkness, which is exactly what we will not tolerate here in the West. Yes, GFCI receptacles offer good supplemental protection, but they should NEVER be the only protection. A properly bonded and grounded electrical system is a bulletproof, passive system that you can count on. A few other things: a ground rod and an earth rod are one and the same. 'Earth' is the European term for 'ground', just as a torch and a flashlight are the same thing. "RCD" is an ignorant term because there's nothing 'residual' about a fault current; we don't use that here in North America because it reveals a misunderstanding of the true picture. I'm a recently retired, fully ticketed hospital building systems professional, electronics technologist and ham radio operator (although this is the internet and anyone can claim anything!) I urge anyone and everyone who is interested to study Mike Holt's series of videos here on Youtube. His channel is called MikeHoltNEC. He is THE accepted authority on this subject.

  718. I have about a total of 20 sd cards and the majority are Samsung evo cards ranging from 32gb to 128gb. I have one sandisk a1 400gb card that I use in my sg9663dc. I purchased a 64gb Samsung high endurance card that caused severe issues with my sg9663dc, viofo a129 duo and dr750s. My 5 year old 32gb Samsung evo card that I use for firmware updates is still working perfectly. I’m now only using Samsung evo cards in my q800pro, blackvue dr750s 2ch, viofo a129 duo and viofo a119. The only exception is the sandisk a1 400gb card that I use in my sg9663dc. I still don’t see a need for an endurance card since the very first Samsung endurance card I purchased was faulty.

  721. Hey guys, quick questions. 1. I'm currently using Mini 0906 with hardware kit installed. Do you think I can direct swap to this Viofo A129 by using back the existing front and rear camera cables provided by Mini 0906, I don't want to go thru the hassle of re-installing the front and rear camera cabling again. 2. Is there a significant improvement in terms of video quality especially night time compared to Mini 0906? Thanks guys, appreciated!

  730. Hey Andrew, I would be glad to help. I first found out about dash cams when the Russians would upload dash cam footage back in 2010. You know the ones i'm talking about. I decided to buy one in 2016 after a friend of mine was in a car accident early in that year. She had a dash cam at that time of the accident and the guy that hit her tried in court to say it was her fault when the dash cam showed that he was not only at fault but he set the whole accident up himself to try and claim on her insurance. He was convicted of insurance fraud because my friend had a dash cam to speak for her. I watched Car Cam Central to decide which dash cam was right for me at that time. Your videos have been very informative. Keep up the good work Andrew. Thank you!!

  739. Subscribed for amazing effort to bring things clear. But, some things aren't clear for me, since doesn't seems possible. Or I am wrong? 1. How to order a suction cup mount (which is not included) directly from VIOFO? 2. How to mount both GPS module, and dash cam on a suction cup mount? 3. How to order a circular polarizing lens filter (which is not included) directly from VIOFO? Asking this, because it will be more handy for me to "pair" GPS and dash cam with me as a driver, not with vehicle. Thanks in advance.

  740. I think you are missing a big opportunity to actually bring people interesting in depth information. Your thumbnail and graphics made me think you were actually going to talk about tread design. Instead you told me some stuff I already new about several different topics. It even looked like you had done all the research but just decided to leave it out. Stick to one thing and tell me something I didn’t already know. Check out the channel Mustard, and Curious Droid. I always watch their videos because I know I will learn something new.

  742. Great video, I really enjoyed it. In my city, it is a unique mixture of Tokyo, Philly, and own our solution. I live in El Paso TX and an incredibly common sight is a walled off portion of land, hiding a barebones pit within. This pit connects to the pipe system around the city and holds storm water when rain comes. These pits are across the city, and are mandated with all new development. Whenever a new building goes up, you always see a pit being dug and brought into the design of the property to compensate for the water situation. A few of these retention areas have uses, I know of one that is a park and another that is an activity area (similar to the fields you showed in the video), but generally they are left empty and useless until the rain comes. It is interesting to compare cities and their solutions to this issue. Thanks for the video Andrew!

  747. The Pakistan flooding is unique and because the entire Indus river basin was poorly irrigated. Trying to fix the drainage is like whack-a-mole because it will only divert and inundate somewhere else downstream.

  761. Hi, I couldn't find the viofio a118c on amazon. I did however find a different brand that looked similar, the seguard a118c and the pruveeo f5. Are you familiar with these dash cams? If so, can you recommend them? In addition, I'm also looking at the Yi dash cam. But it being lithium powered scares me, I live in Toronto and it can get hot in the summer. I also looked at the B1W on amazon but it had some pretty scary reviews. Your input will be very much appreciated.

  767. Tbh, if I was living in a non-combustible high rise building and a fire broke out, I'm not sure I would have the courage to stay in my flat bc I would immediately think of the Grenfell Tower disaster. Even if my building had no cladding on the outside at all, I would be too afraid that the people who built the building cut corners, which happens way too often.

  781. Their customer service is outstanding I have a gen 1 a119 have it for 2 years then it start giving me problems and stopped working I contacted them they sent me out a version 2 a119 for the cost of shipping 😀 I recently bought the 129 Duo dash cam and I love it.
    1
  782.  @Lam  yes I went through customer service I've been having problems with the a119 v1 camera 3 months after I bought it so there was a record of it. I Just provided my serial number of the camera and they looked up all the information to see that I was having a ongoing issue with the camera. It was too much of a hassle to ship back from the US to China I just paid the shipping cost of a new camera.

  790. First I'd like to say Ty for the review... I own my own car service / taxi and I've been looking for a camera that will show the entire outside & inside of the vehicle plus the ability to add an additional camera for the inner dashboard. Truth is when ur driving in the US one of ur biggest problems won't be passengers it will be police officers who claim u wasn't wearing ur Bluetooth headset when u was or u didn't use ur turn signal when u did or stop at a stop sign a few blocks back and if it's ur word verses a police officers in court regardless if u have witnesses or not they will always take the officers side... and u will get points on ur license plus have to pay whatever the fee is regardless if ur in the right or not and trust me that fee plus the points will cost u over time way more than a few hundred dollars would have on a good camera that u can load the proof u need onto a disk or flash card etc... Which is also why so many of us are looking for one u can hard mount to to the car so u can hide it somewhere in the vehicle and run a wire to wherever u hide the recording box at Unlike all these dash cameras that u can lol' just take and run with a hoodie over ur head or delete everything on it then hand it back to the driver along with a ticket "welcome to America" That said, if it has a cloud capability well then that will just make it even better and worth spending a few hundred dollars on. So If u see something like this please put it on one of ur episodes or mention it to the company's you talk too. I did subscribe to ur Channel and will be on the lookout for other cameras u compare and suggest.. lol' sorry for this extremely long comment / message 🚕 🙃

  792. Impressive video, thanks for making it! The part about how water traps are beneath parking and other flat surfaces was especially interesting as I always considered them to be 100% problem and 0% solution. It appears there is a way to change this at least a bit.

  796.  @Lam  science communicator : pepole that they think , they are modern Polymath-s , the problem with that , they say their team reserved the subject , but none of the team members have any calefaction in natural sciences. as a teacher or educator do this : a person who provides instruction or education; a teacher. "the perspective of a professional educator" They just say what it is , don speculate on the future. I hope I helped ,its hard to convert complex people related stuff for me.

  797.  @Lam  Even with the 12 months (all year) hot weather in Malaysia, I do leave it on for at least 24 hours before any attachments. I did the cleaning with 99% rubbing alcohol to ensure the surface is oil free & sparkling clean before putting on the adhesive. Even with such preparations the generic adhesive still failed (both adhesives that came with the A119 V3). My 3 other vehicles have no such problem with A119S V2 3M adhesives that came with it. And I selected Viofo dash cam is because of your reviews and do keep up the great job. Thank you very much.

  801. Dear Car Cam Central, I'm not sure where you are at with the review of the A119V3, but i had a question of comparison of the V3 to the A129. I am aware of the benefits the A129 provides being a dual channel camera, however unfortunately due to the sporty design of my car a majority of the field of view for the rear camera would be obstructed by the trunk spoiler of my vehicle. For this reason, I would be looking to acquire a single channel camera as i would get no advantage of having a dual channel and I am aware the A129 is also sold without the rear camera. Not sure if you can best advise me now or not, but based on performance with only front camera use in mind, I'm not sure which you would recommend for me between the A119V3 or A129? I would use the optional polarizing lens, GPS functionality, 3-wire power supply kit, and all extra recommended accessories with either camera to get the most out of each, if that matters towards the recommendation. Thank you so very much in advance, your videos are extremely helpful.
    1
  802. Oh most certainly I will be purchasing through Amazon for the reasons of customer service, something I'm aware you have always mentioned when it comes to Viofo since before 2017. I simply mentioned purchasing through their site as it may suggest that the GPS mount is intended to be included as a standard item in the A119V3 kit. Thanks again and safe travels!

  808. Discovered your channel today - I really enjoy the engineering videos, they cover a lot of ground with loads of interesting technical information but still makes sense to non-engineers like me! About that 10 year old, 10:22 could he/she set up the machine, carry and lift up the tyres & wheels to place them each time? Pretty much ANY machine is activated with a simple peddle or button! 😁

  813. Thank you for your great reviews on the dash cams. VIOFO A119V3 dash cam looks better than most in the $100 range but I am looking for a dash cam that I could use it in multiple vehicles. Is there any way that I could use A119 V3 in more than one vehicle? I am looking for a 4K dash cam that I can use in two different vehicles everyday. Would you still recommend VIOFO A119V3 over Rove R2-4K? You can reply to my email: pjs35e@gmail.com Thank you.

  819. The school I went to learn to be an auto mechanic just got a new tire changer in 1992. It was needed due to how alloy rims were becoming more popular than the steel rims. Alloy rims would get butchered if you jammed a crowbar between the rim the tire. The old tire changing machine did the same thing as you using a crowbar.

  820. Excellent review and I’ve been patiently waiting for it after buying the A119 on your recommendation. Very happy with it. I just now bought the A129 right after your video from BBMC and used your code! Thanks for the thorough review. Can’t wait until it comes in the mail! Thanks for the effort CCC!

  822. I need a camera with a capacitor due to heat and cold, but error messages are pretty important too. Which cam fits the bill for under $100?

  823. Great video. What is your pick for a dual, front n rear, camera setup? With affordability and feature balance in mind of course. Having been rear ended, I realize a single front camera will do me no justice.

  828. Great video, and happy I've come across your channel. Thanks to the algorithm for actually working once in a while. Just a little story for you about your little Honda. My wife bought a brand new Honda Jazz (Fit) here in Australia back in 2013. It was involved in a crash 1 month later when a driver in a Mitsubishi Triton loaded with construction tools, towing a 1.5ton excavator hit her from behind while she was stopped at a red light, he was traveling at 80k/h and never applied brakes (distracted on his phone) Wifes car then hit the car in front of her hard enough that his car was also written off. Front and back of her car were caved in really bad, steering column had come apart from the rack, engine got shoved part way under the car, the rear hatch was against the back seats, but we could still open all 4 doors, and her only injuries were a bruise from the seatbelt on her chest and a bruised knee from hitting the dash (she likes to sit too far forward) The car she replaced a month before this was a Daewoo Matiz and I think if she still had that car, I doubt she would have survived the impact or 5 tons hitting her car at 80km/h .

  831. Just bought this Viofo A129 and it's awesome! One last question: I know in your video & in the manual, it shows the angled connection for the cable connecting the front & rear camera going into the front camera...does it matter if it goes into the rear camera?

Anyone with a "normal" saloon (sedan) or compact car is pretty much at the mercy of the increasing numbers of 2000, 3000kg+ SUVs and trucks that every douchebag seems to buy for no reason other than vanity and one-upmanship. I hate them with a passion as a regular cyclist and "normal" car driver.

  858.  @Lam  ,thank you. I think you're right. I started reading reviews and Q&As, and one of the sellers said they add G to indicate it comes with GPS because it her sellers started doing it and they were losing sales.
    1
  859. At 1:25 you made a mistake about A119s image sensor. look at official support forum: https://support.viofo.com/support/solutions/articles/19000083285-the-difference-between-a119-a119s-and-a119-pro It must be IMX291 not IMX323
    1
  860. I run my a119 prro 24/4 as parking mode was rubbish, using battery banks and has done good for last 9 months. i use 1440p 5 min clips when driving but when i park i set it at 1080 30fps at 1min clips and works good. i use battery banks than the car battery due to it could be days between driving and within weeks of having it it killed my (old) car battery, cold weather old battery decided to leave one extra day before going out for drive and dead, the engine would even turn off with two cams going, so car battery was on its last legs but no fault of the a119 pro, best vid footage ive seen for the price
    1
  861.  @Lam  I know mate, i dose worry me a little, but i get the both battery's out of direct sun, one under a heat proof cover over the boot and the front cam is morning sun so battery pack is behind the dash, i always change over battery's more often in hotter weather to hopefully reduce risk. but since ive had my cams, no damage to my car but i did let the closest neighbors know that the street i now under 24/7 vid in both directions , when i told them it sounded ike they want to catch the idots who causing the damage.. so one good point, the 2nd is less tailgaters since i started running a rear cam :)

  862. Yeah, you say that, but um... Grenfell. So if you live in the UK? Getting TF out is probably a very good idea. But sure, in other countries that don't have such insanely lax laws regarding fire safety, you'll probably be fine unless the firefighters tell you to get TF out.

  872. Your car is fine. Do not change it for this reason. That is why manufacturers joined the safety wagon, to sell new cars when you don't need to change them.

  873. I've emailed VIOFO for tech advice & they have gotten back to me very quickly. The GPS/windshield mount is far superior to the suction mounts from Cobra, which would not stay attached to my windshield. However my lighter plug fell apart & I just glued it back together this evening. I may take a look at your hardwiring instructions. This A119 (original) is a great little camera and thanks to you and your videos, I purchased it a couple yrs ago. Thank you.

(I just so happen to be looking for a different type of shoe than just a sneaker) Anyways, I just wanted to point out that I think it's funny in your description you put "Free Shipping to CA, US, ..." 😏 Did you mean CAN, as in Canada? Because I think of California first when I see "CA". 😉 Good video btw. Great editing, use of images & clips, and narration! 👍

  898. Good review but you are cutting your audio too close to the start point and it sounds bad. Try backing off your cuts a little bit and doing a slight fade in to get rid of those harsh sounds.
    1
  899.  @Lam  Check around 3:34, when you say the word inside. It happens in some other places as well but that's the first one I found when I went back to look for it.

  902. It's far better to Live life than to simply Survive it... Meaning, risk is unavoidable if you want to have a good time (and not just exist in a bubble until you die). It's about risk mitigation and management through awareness. I've been riding motorcycles for decades upon decades, have had a couple injuries but the joy is worth the risk. Similarly, I like/own and drive vintage cars... you think my 1966 Beetle would fare well in an IIHS test? lol. My dad was a pilot, I grew up flying in his home-built airplane... Safety was important, but it certainly wants primary. Safety Third. BTW, did no know about the original of the IIHS... amazing that something Good actually came from insurance companies.

  905. The smartcar (twofour?), the box, I saw a crash test with it going like 120mph. It didn't crush on a concrete barrier. It was "safe" to the point of not crushing yet the g's would tear you apart, but no significant cabin intrusion. If we could survive 120 to instant stop internally (alas we cannot) maybe it would be important. Is this just a ridiculous safety margin? Why make cars that are stronger by a wide margin and capable of much more damage than the human body can take in g's? If we're toast it doesn't matter except saving time removing the body. I understand, despite the criticism, three of my friends have been extracted from vehicles with the jaws of life. All three initially survived but by the time they cut them out only one survived. These were 2 occasions, in one, the first responder was my buddy's own dad trying to keep him alive and get him out after a girl and him crossed an interstate and pulled in front of a semi going 70. He got it on his passenger door. Those would probably be survivable in something with a legitimate modern high crash rating. But again, why exceed it so much?

  909. On my birth city, we have the river wide but also is normally like a 7 meters down the street level, is normally like 80m on wide, but there are a free area giving 200m space to flood, there are somes instalations but they are not houses and mostly is parks. In my life only once I saw the river at full going near to reach the boulevard, was during a hurricane and several days on constant raining. All was under control, we have a dam and was the necessity to go down the level what cause all the river grow that much.

  917. I believe that quality tires is THE most important safety measure you can have on a car. Every time I get to use some old rusty car that has many issues, the tires is the first thing that I spare no expense on. If your lights stop working, you can stop the car and change the bulb. If your breaks stop working, you can let go of gas pedal and let it slow down (or use handbrake or shift gears to slow down faster). But if your tires lose traction to earth, you are fuuuukt.

  929. Much of the damage to homes, lives and infrastructure that is attributed to climate change is actually just rampant and unregulated expansion in to flood and tidal zones in countries without flood planning. I hate how the news always defaults to “climate change” as the cause of flooding in countries like Bangladesh but the reality is that in the last 25 years cities in these places have grown massively and in areas that have little or no engineering for basic weather effects. The “flooding” has been happening for centuries, just like it did on the Don River, and then humans decided to build something where they naively think it’s safe to do so.

  930. once again YouTube recommends the goods. Tyre tech is honestly quite impressive these days, seemingly normal everyday cars are now becoming faster than some recent "super cars". like the Honda Civic type r beating a Lamborghini Diablo around a track.

  931. @Lam , you may want to have a look at Sao Paulo, they reversed a river to control flooding, but is't still flooding
    1
  932. So, what you're saying is, if you drive a Honda Fit and you are about to hit someone head on, you should steer into them instead of away from them because your car is safer at a moderate overlap than a minor overlap.

  954. Andrew Millison on YouTube has a wealth of information on sustainable flood management and replenishing groundwater, he visits places where the results are helping farmers and cities. Concrete channels and discharge to rivers is needed but it shouldn't be the solution we are talking about. It's great to see someone talk about capture and soak-away infiltration at the end. In the UK we are still wasting rainwater by flushing it into foul-water sewers, then they overflow into our rivers. The problem of summer droughts will only get worse unless we stop pouring rainwater into sewers rivers and the sea. Low groundwater is the result. Some local councils have started building SuDS but really we need to go much further.

  958. Even the 90s cars were often better, to be fair, and that first clip was carefully cherry-picked. The Volvo 900 had the problem in the first clip fixed by the 93 model year, and their other cars were fine, in those same years. I even got in exactly that kind of wreck in a '93 940 (I already knew about this, by then, so '90-92 were right out). The 15-year-newer Hyundai was much worse off, while only being a few hundred pounds lighter. My headlights were pushed right back to the rear of the fender well, on the driver's side, but pristine from the firewall on back. OTOH, their cabin started folding in, with much less hood shortening. If it weren't a tiny woman driving, there could have been nasty knee injuries. If I had been in a '91 940 (my first Volvo), the situation could have been reversed. My current car has plastic bumpers, front and rear, than can bend some inches, before getting to anything really structural. I don't usually try to run into pedestrians; but if I do, I'm sure they'll appreciate that, over that old Volvo's plastic coated metal beam.

  959.  @Lam  true, but even that varies a ton. Designing for service and repair has gone away, with a primary focus on short-term ownership of new car buyers. I'm currently rocking a Vibe. I had the front bumper dented and scuffed, in my work's parking lot. The damage was just cosmetic, to both vehicles. That made me go get a quote, just to see, since I know a paint job is not trivial on them. If I had to get a new one, matched paint and all, but with no real damage to the car otherwise, it would be about $800, with an hour for labor to actually replace it (relevant in a bit, as it's from the same business). Or, I could pay about $300 (all front bumper parts, from Rockauto, w/ tax+s&h - s&h is no joke on these parts!), and drive around with a gray one. OTOH, my work vehicle got a new bumper and grill awhile back, and it was over $2300, also for very minor cosmetic damage. The bumper and paint work was about $1200 of the bill. It wasn't designed with repair and service in mind, like it was on my little old GM/Yota.

  976. People build cities in the rivers . A river is as wide as its maximum flood , to build on the flood plain with out considering floods is guaranteed flooded cities and destroyed infrastructure . For thousands of years towns have been washed away by floods , because people don't consider the river is as wide as its largest flood . Floods have to happen that is how the world works . We need to be smarter than a flood and make sure that ALL the flood can flow right by with out taking a lot with it . That means giving up sufficient land to allow the flood to pass by with out damage

  977. Great video! I love your channel. This isn’t a negative comment, but how come you didn’t run the original tests with an 8th gen alarm to actually show the differences?

  978.  @Lam  thanks for the explanation. That’s basically what I had assumed. I figured you had done the testing but left it out due to video pacing or something like that. Either way, the video was informative and entertaining. Keep at it!

My brother has the F800 model on his car, and it's variety of options is pretty intriguing, especially the radar one. Any thoughts on the new Q800 Pro model from Thinkware, Andrew?

  983.  @Lam  All good points, program compliance is far more important than the nuances. Photoelectrics do require more maintenance (cleaning) and most people aren't up to that. I did not know about the humidity sensor technology, that seems like a great idea especially in a bathroom/bedroom hallway. I am disappointed that SimpliSafe is not keeping up with this. I use their devices as an adjunct to the required wired / interconnected smoke detectors; for the purpose of automatic notification during unoccupied periods. A combination Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector is also not a bad idea.

  992.  @Lam  Well, I didn't learn with the prior 3 units I paid about $20 for, so maybe I will this time. My wife told me to just order that Vioifo A129 and be done with my insane "experimenting". After 30 years, I guess maybe I should listen to her.

  993. I became a biologist. Born in the late 60s here in Toronto, I used to play in the remnants of the Don River that was left behind when they re-routed the river. They still exist. The bottom swamp at the Riverdale Zoo (Don Valley, west side, by the chain-link fence), and the waterworks off the parking lot at Todmorden Mills. I'm a biologist because of the life that I witnessed as a kid.

  994. From a European perspective, I had to smile. My one family house is not only grounded, but also has RCD for the whole house. But of course not one RCD for the whole house. Say you have one faulty device, then it's just too difficult to track this down. Therefore, there is a separation, and I have four RCDs installed (one for the bathrooms, one for the kitchen, and two for the rest of the house). Japan has just a crap electricity system due to historical baggage. Here, such an installation probably wouldn't pass certification for a garden shed.

  996.  @Lam  Hi Andrew, I don't know if you'll find any value in my answers, but here they are. 1) I found out about dashcams some years ago from Youtube's recommendations. Since then, and I'm not kidding, I've watched several hundred dashcam videos - (mostly crash videos. ;-p), but also lots of reviews. 2) I bought my first cameras about two years ago, but they were Walmart crap- cams, I've since upgraded to various configurations and prefer dual camera setups. 3) I tend to make a study of things that interest me. I understand that some people need to start from the beginning, and topics that seem very obvious to me may be news to others. Having said that, I like the details that may not be obvious to even experienced dashcam users. For instance, when I was new to the subject I did not know that there were power supplies that had adjustable low-voltage and cutoff timers. I'm actually in the market for an affordable unit that has the exact features of the Grdian, but I'm not willing to spend the $50 US they want for one. Whenever covering a topic, I like to know both the pros and cons. For example, using a CPL can be beneficial during the day, but since you lose about 2 stops of light, it will be a hindrance at night. I know time is valuable and I can tell you put a lot of time into producing your reviews, they have a very polished looks to them, however not everyone wants to, or can spend a lot of money on a dashcam, so perhaps budget camera reviews would be helpful to some people - as long as the expectations are kept reasonable. Being objective and not bias is extremely important to me. I have no allegiance to any brand of anything, I just want the truth. Lastly, I know this can be very expensive for reviewers like yourself, but I don't trust reviews where the product was sent from the manufacturer or seller. It's almost impossible not to show some favoritism when you get something for free. Hope that helped.

  1006. You're very, very good at this. I can easily see you expanding your reviews into other tech domains and growing your channel exponentially. Dash cams is great place to start because most people don't know much about them, and other channels just tend to give facile comparisons, or else just read like straight up advertisements. Yours is an informed and critical yet fair perspective on a product type that a lot of people want to buy but couldn't buy without honest guidance. Well done.

  1024. Thanks for the great review! I'm about to order one. Before ordering I have one question; what size (Samsung Pro Endurance) MicroSD should I use? The supplier here in the Netherlands bundles it with a €70 (Samsung EVO Plus) 256gb MicroSD card, but is the 64gb card I have lying around sufficient?

  1026. I wonder why no manufacturer offers rollcages and multi-point harnesses as optional features of their cars. Yes they don't look luxurious and take up inner space but they never fail. If they were unreliable technology racing cars from group B to Le Man prototypes would't use them.

  1064. Car Cam Central Ah ok, let’s hope sensors get better. Now for the questions: 1. How did you find out about dash cams? Personally I was researching action cameras and I think some dash cam compilation video came in my recommended. So then I looked up what a dash cam was and I discovered insurance scams, accidents, and your channel :) 2. What made you decide that you needed one? Just watching all that video on YouTube of scammers and morons on the road. The drivers here were I live have done some downright dumb stuff before so I’m just waiting for something to happen. 3. Any other videos/ articles that were helpful? Pretty much your entire channel (especially that one video of what to look for in a dashcam). reddit.com/r/dashcam was real helpful to. If you got any more questions shoot em at me :D
    1
  1065. Car Cam Central you can try to make a community post about it. Good luck :) can’t wait for the vid!

  1067. Car Cam Central thanks for the response! I’m looking for a solid one that doesn’t break the bank which is how I stumbled upon this channel. I really just want it for collision purposes. The parking/motion detection seems like something I would set up as well. Do you recommend a back camera too? Seems useful

  1071. I came from your last video. I really liked this one as well. I thought it was really good that you mentioned tire companies can design their tires to be good when there new, BUT, they become much worse at dealing with water when they are worn, but there tread is still there so people wouldnt replace them yet until the tread gets much worse.

  1072. More like this one!

  1073. After a long discussion with my partner about this, we came to the conclusion we want old smoke detectors and new smoke detectors, both, together. While it's good to have fewer false alarms with this new detector, the kind of false alarms it won't trigger on are the kinds of "false" alarms that have saved our meals and cooking equipment from mistakes in the past. We don't want to lose those false alarms because they are still helpful, but we want the new alarms because they're faster to respond to dangerous fires.

  1077.  @Lam  Thanks again. I picked up a 128GB Endurance Pro. I want to play around with parking mode when I get the hardwire kit. I know it's purpose built for this use, but I noticed that the write speed is only 1/3rd of a Samsung EVO Plus card. Is that pretty much standard for these MLC cards? That means it's slower to write to the card, not move (read) data from the card (to a pc, or another device), right?

  1114. @8:05 Squirrel alert 📢 🐹

  1115.  @Lam  what I thought up, not sure on feasibility, is having a circuit design with an AND gate from each sensor which will require both sensors to trigger a certain threshold voltage to energize the gate. Further, each sensor can have a secondary channel which will bypass the AND gate if the voltage spikes above another threshold level to allow the alarm to trigger from actual events that either sensor detects first. I haven't taken any time to study the circuit design from the older ionizing sensors but I'm assuming it will be a relatively simple circuit design which leads to false-positives. I'm sure you can come up with a design that would eliminate a large portion of false positives... question is would it be economically viable from a "profit-margin" perspective.

  1116. I love watching your videos but I am still overwhelmed on which one to get. I know I want the best video quality front and back during day and night but I also need it to have built in gps/speed, WiFi. Don’t really need the parking monitor feature. Please help me figure out which one to get.. price range $200.00 - $500.00

  1118. Hey. I hope you are still reading comments. (I get to why I say that at the end) Firstly I hope you realize how good of a video this was. Super simple and innocent yet answers great questions. I watch lots of videos like this, and this style of video is called like the learning style of youtube (I forget the name of it.) But since Mark already found your video, it seems you are being ushered into this space. It seems fitting because you are so new to it but make such great honest videos. So, after all of that context, I just want to warn you to stay true to yourself and videos you want to make. We have seen really big, almost untouchable youtube channels literally shill their content just to make money from advertisers. It has happened with a driverless car company paying a huge youtube channel to basically not tell the whole truth. Now China has been paying travel youtubers to literally LIE. I just hope you can stay true to this largely innocent video style. In the world, there are so many interesting things to learn about. There can be so much content made from the world. You just have to show the world WHY it is interesting (that is where good titles come in. If you make high quality content but can’t draw people in to your videos, you won’t do well. But you can become a sell out and pump out cheap videos with sensationalist titles without actually taking the time of day to put in the effort needed to actually teach the truth.) I hope that you can stay true to this style and not “sell out”!!!! Again, great video.

I know nothing about dash cams and you saved me HOURS and HOURS of meaningless research that I don't want to do. Just picked one up and made sure I hit the affiliate link so you get paid :) Thanks a lot for this review, was a real time saver. Your affiliate dues are well deserved. I also knew nothing about microSD cards and picked one of those Samsung endurance cards also. Thanks again!

  1130. Wow thank you so much for your thorough reviews! I am by no means car tech savvy and was looking for an inexpensive dash cam. I was basically looking through Best Buy at the NextBase cams going by the reviews...until I found your reviews. The V3 looks and sounds amazing and exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Just a few questions...if I get the suction swivel base and have it hard wired will it still swivel? Will I still be able to remove the camera if need be? No clue how much it will cost to have it hard wired. Thanks Again🤗

  1141. I learned about car cameras from YOUR videos. I haven’t purchase one yet, but I would first review YOUR videos before making any purchase. As far as content, you’re spot on already, I wouldn’t change anything. My overall impression of car videos is the installation process, attaching power, hidden wires, etc. that’s what scares me away from making a purchase.

  1150. "when does a car stop being safe" when im behind the wheel
    1
  1151. I've been a paramedic for almost 15 years, and it's actually awe inducing how incredibly SAFE cars have steadily become, starting in the mid 90s or so. If the vehicle is like 2005 or newer and the occupant has sustained serious injuries, I can almost guarantee that it's because they either weren't wearing their seatbelt (properly) or they were riding with their feet up on the dash. In those cases, it's like the occupant has slammed into a solid stationary object (often head first) while flying along at high speed. And engineering has even worked hard to address the issue of seatbelt haters lol newer vehicles have a setting where the vehicle cannot be shifted out of park if the drivers seatbelt is not latched. Depending on the vehicle, this also applies to the front passenger seat if sufficient weight is detected in the seat. Of course, freak accidents do still happen and it is possible to slip out of a properly worn seatbelt (and possibly be ejected from the vehicle) in a rollover. But overall, the safety improvements are just incredible!

  1152.  @Lam  Hi, I just meant to say that often "updated" or "newer versions" of a product can end up changing things that ultimately end up making the product not perform as well as the original version - the "1.0 version". Like how you said the "S" and the "Pro" version aren't really recommended over the original "A119" (unless I messed that up). But the video quality I've just seen of the V3 looks pretty great. That extra resolution is a big deal, I think.
    1
  1153.  @Lam  Thanks EVER so much! I do know that Best Buy would install a dash cam for free with our total tech support that we pay for each year, but with our Jag and Infiniti, I would not put anything in our obd port.
    1
  1154. ​ @Lam  You have been wonderful. Just spoke to the Best Buy installer and with the total home geek squad plan we have, he can install with no charge. YOU are the BEST! Hugs of appreciation sent your way!

  1167. What a great review. The camera seems as close to perfect as you're going to get in 2019. Too bad about not having Wi-Fi. I simply can't buy a dashcam that requires the card to be removed for file transfers, especially a "wedge" camera that is tucked under the mirror and requires body contortion to get to it!

  1181. By the way, I am already a little disappointed in A129 Pro. I've been waiting for the fireworks, but the front cam has a pretty old sensor Sony Exmor R IMX317. It's not a Starvis, it doesn't have WDR either (except D-HDR). The rear cam has Sony Starvis IMX291 [F/1.8 and F/1.6 (rear)]. IMX317 was used in cams like: Xaomi Mijia 2017, Nextbase 612GW, Sony FDR-X3000 4K. Huge plus for the most powerful Novatek NT96685 to date, though. I'm afraid that even it has a native 4K, it won't be able to catch many details in movement (motion blur), because of the old sensor. Pity! :/ I bet the price will be around $250-300.
    1
  1182.  @Lam  In the newer cam, I would expect same or better hardware than in the previous models. So at least the same sensor as in A119 v3. But I think they will try to fix it with the software releases. I mean the whole point of having a cam is to be able to read the license plates in motion. If that fails, it's good as garbage :) Of course I'm not saying that A119 v3 is perfect, because I noticed that in the early morning (when you would think that it's bright enough, around 6AM), license plates are also blurry. So that's why I'm trying different settings, with hope that I can get it better. When I'm driving back home around 3PM, the footage is great and sharp.

  1185. I know these are important, but a lot of civil engineering has started to turn to creating livable areas into more healthy habitat that can handle this water naturally. Less lawns, more wild growth, more natural channels... Less water gets into the aquifer the way we do it now, which is devastating to areas that desperately need theirs to recharge. Restoring habitats helps do this. Not to mention the pollution! Edit: FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN IT COVERED? this really is the best video on the topic.

  1186. Not many people look at safety ratings when buying a car. The manufacturers made them safer as time went on and people will always buy cars. An outcome doesn't necessarily define a cause.

  1198. Hi Andrew, I enjoyed watching your video. Understanding the concept by reading a book is too difficult no matter how many books you read or images you see. Color images though are better. But understanding those concepts through video is much better. I found the video insightful. I have one doubt, it might be silly. I wanted to know how the tire's diameter affects the vehicle's performance. I will take the case of a scooter, a motorcycle, and a 3 wheeler tempo. The diameter of a scooter tire is smaller than a motorcycle tire but comparable to 3 wheeler tempo. I wanted to know what design consideration goes into the selection of Tire size. How do tire companies decide on the tire sizes?
    1
  1199. Hi Andrew, thank you for getting back in touch, this is what Viofo Australia replied to me, Dear Brian thanks for your contact. from your description we can tell it was simply a firmware glitch, all you gotta do is format your sd card on your computer into fat32 format and download the firmware which ending with .bin file from support page at www.viofo.com.au, make sure you select the correct model as the wrong model's firmware will not work. copy it to your empty sd card and insert into the camera without power connected. once made sure your sd card is securely inserted, plug the power cable in from in car power supply and let it start. camera will detect the firmware file and automatically do the job by itself and restart. once you have followed the right steps, it will upgrade the new firmware and back to normal function again. secondly, make sure you use high endurance microSD cards in dash camera as they are the proper cards designed specifically for their constant intensive video recording job, most of the sd card on the market now are designed for storage rather than handling heavy constant writing and re-writing jobs in dashcam or surveillance cameras. some of the more cost effective cards which causes less issues can also be used (like Samsung evo plus, transcend etc) but may sometimes still having data corruption or firmware glitches, which on the other hand may not be a big issue but we would like every of our customers have a good experience by choosing the right card. please avoid using Sandisk extreme or ultra cards at all cost as they have been reported causing more issues when used in dashcams than any other cards in the similar range.thank you. alternatively, you can follow the youtube link here for a better visual understanding, : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_sbSi-xiX8 That was a great help for me just means the A129 Duo Dual will be put on hold for a bit longer. Thank you Andrew for the information an advice you have passed on. Regards Brian.

  1202. Like the review and agree with it all.  I recently bought one for my daughters car and the camera caught a drunk keying her hood.  Police now have the video.  Jail is imminent due to the video.  Hard to argue when you look into the camera.  I am also interested in heat durability.  No one talks about how hey handle the heat of say Arizona or Missouri.  That has killed ALL of my previous ones.

  1210. Just started buying the samsung endurance cards. I've had 3 transcend cards fail on me recently, they were all pretty old tho so not unexpected. I am gonna put these cards in all my family member's cars because I know they never check their dash cams so its nice to have a little more assurance that the cards will last a decent amount of time. thanks for the video.

  1223. Great type of video but however it comes across as America was responsible for car safety. I believe the Europeans should have had more credit in this video. Mercedes invented the safety cell and also introduced the airbag and abs first. Volvo were also a pioneer in safety. But was interesting to see how some of the systems worked but showing them. Thank you.

  1231. This is quite a review. Great video! but how does this stack up to Xiaomi 70mai Pro dash cam? It is less expensive than A119 V3 but almost the same video quality. Please do a comparison review. Thanks in advance.

  1232. Car Cam Central I'll try my best to help. It's rare a YouTuber would ask a mere consumer for some questions. I started using a dash cam after seeing those Russian fail dash cam fail videos. Made sense to me to equip my car with one. I just recently bought a Xiaomi 70mai pro for $88.51 CAD with GPS. An upgrade from a Yi Smart dash. I am very satisfied with it. I can't say if it breaks down though but my first choice was really VIOFO V2, I'll just modify it like how the BCHobbyist YouTuber would do it but with the price. I went cheap so here I am. I was thinking of buying another one for my rear then out fitting it with a Neolink. My Yi showed it's value when it recorded a collision in a parking lot. I offered them "not at fault party" my footage since the "at fault party" was harassing them instead of admitting to it. The build quality and packaging of the 70mai looks more expensive than what it's worth and the video quality is really good. I would say Xiaomi nailed it and if it it doesn't brake down for a year then it's going to be one of the better investment I made to protect me and car.

  1238. Bah... what a great find... I wanted to see if digging a deep enough channel would affect positive outcomes with major floodings and use the chambers as a greenhouse when we get screwed by all the volcanic and toxic chemicals... "...You will own nothing, and you will be happy..." is a poor outcome for those that only feed without giving...

  1239. Hi, great review!! I take your reviews seriously when considering a new dash cam purchase. I have two question though, regarding this setup, do you recommend purchasing a bundle with a CPL anti glare filter? Was your review done with or without one? I hope to hear from you soon, thanks for your time!

  1244. Car insurance companies are like the opposite of medical insurance companies... "we're going to make the service as bad as possible so we can milk you for every dollar, and just refuse to cover you when it suits us" vs "we're going to make the service as good as possible so we don't have to pay out as much or as often".

  1252. Safety pushed by the insurance industry, goes back decades. Look at your major appliances, and TV, and you'll see the letters "UL". This stands for Underwriters Laboratories. Its an organization created by the insurance companies. An underwriter, is the part of the insurance industry that actually coughs up the money, when a claim is paid. Manufacturers of electrical (including electronics) and gas equipment can submit their products, for UL testing and review, and get it registered and/or listed (two different levels). When UL actually tests a piece of gear, they'll actually break it, to see if it becomes a shock or fire hazard. As an engineer for a small electronics manufacturer, our products were routinely sent to a UL lab, back in the old days. The insurance industry doesn't want to pay claims, and keeping houses from burning down, was a good way of that happening. They'd give you a break on your homeowners insurance, if you bought UL listed appliances. Don't know if that still applies today.

  1253. All these kinds of technologies saved my life. The crash I was in (head on, both cars at 60mph) was bad enough that the engine block came through the dash, crushed my knees and left me disabled, but that's gotta be expected somewhat at that level of collision. The seatbelt cut into my chest hard enough to leave an imprint through a thick shirt, and my face was bruised from the airbag. Point is I'd be dead for sure in an older car. Without the modern crumple zone I'd have been a smear on the windscreen or otherwise, or the engine would have just severed my legs and I'd have bled out. Without the collapsible steering wheel the column would have speared my face. Without the airbag I'd have smashed my face against the dash. Without the seatbelt I'd have crumpled into the dash broken. Without the reinforced chassis it would have taken way longer to get me out of the car in the event I survived the initial crash, and likely bled out. Not to mention all the other medical advances. Or the fact that they only had an air ambulance in that area since 5 years before the crash. Just 5 to 10 years earlier and they wouldn't have been able to save my life. Just 15 years earlier and I wouldn't have been intact enough to be possible to save.

  1254. Thanks for your in-depth review of the Viofo A119. I've used it for almost a year in Florida. I used it in 2017, on a driving trip to France with NO windshield mount. I placed it on a wool Beret and let it ride on the dash. It only fell on the floor when I went up a 60-80% grade. But, that only made the video exciting and funny. I also miss place the GPS in Normandy. For our 2018 driving tour of England I purchased two GPS mounts so I had a spare. I used a small third party suction mount but it had noticeable vibration that the A119 could not remove. Switching to the retail GoPro suction mount, removed the vibration. My only complaint is the screen is not readable when used with the suction mount.

  1285.  @Lam  I'm a rideshare driver.. so decided it would be a good idea to get one. My first one was a cheap one I got a Walmart just so I had something.. needed it quickly, and just grabbed what they had at the time 2014/15 or so. Shortly after that I started researching different dash cams. My next one was a Mini 805, shortly after that I decide to get another cam since I had a another car so wanted a cam for that car too and I got a G1W-CB from SpyTec I believe. I then purchased the Viofo A119v2. Mostly based on your recommendation, and other videos I saw showing its very good video quality day and night . And now my most recent is a Vantue N2 Pro. I had been using, the old one from Walmart which had infrared lights on it, as my interior camera, the viofo as my front facing camera, and the g1w as my rear facing camera it made it a bit messy on the inside of the car , lots of wires to tuck away, but since I had the cameras and they all functioned perfectly I didn't see the point in replacing them with a central all in one system which are very expensive. Recently however the Walmart camera began to have problems with the SD card not always writing correctly especially when it was hot out., and since the interior camera is quite important as a Rideshare driver, so I decided to spring for the vantrue N2 Pro when it went on sale on Amazon for $80 off regular price. That takes care of front facing an inside, and I moved the mini 805 to the rear window since it was smaller and did not hang down into the cargo area, I had luggage occasionally hit the G1w and damage the ball mount. I ended up leaving the viofo a119, facing forward also, quite frankly the image quality on the vantrue has got a bit of a blue tint to it, and because it ends up being farther away from the glass due to the suction cup mount, and my windshield has some pitting I found that at night the glass is disrupting the quality of the video rather badly, that doesn't seem to happen on the viofo, I suspect because it's much closer to the glass. I also like the alerts that it gives if there's a problem and it gives me a backup front facing camera in case something goes wrong with the Vantrue which does not have the same kind of alert statuses for failure. So I just left viofo a119 in place, run the Vantrue right next to it, and the Mini 805 in the rear now. I also run the Lexar XC-1 as cards you had recommended.. I've never had one fail yet.. and one of them is from Dec of 2016 in use almost continuous. Hope that information helps.. if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
    1
  1286.  @Lam  Welcome... Apparently the blue tint to the image is pretty common on N2 Pro. I had heard about it when I purchased it, but the actual clarity of the video is really good it's just that the color is slightly off. Have a wonderful day

  1287. I learned a lot from this. Thanks

  1288. great video. Missed a few things though. Smoke control typically doesn't have exhaust fans anywhere, at least for the GTA. They will have exhaust vents in the stairwell to let some of the air back out, but not enough in order to keep the stairwell slightly pressurized. Same goes for the elevator shafts. This often means automatic doors also open, serving a duel purpose of ease of exfiltrate and relieving pressure. Elevators are automatically disabled and driven to the firefighter floor. (usually ground, but it depends on the building) After letting the passengers out, the doors close and will not operate again until the firefighter key is used, or the fire alarm system is reset. The biggest missed item is that sprinklers always have water available unless being serviced. You kind of show it in the last diagram with city water supplied from underground, but didn't mention it. The Siamese/FDC connection is only to supplement the water supply. Taller/larger buildings require very large booster pumps. Some are electric others are diesel, usually in excess of 100 HP.

  1291. The Salt Lake City metro area has regulations that require builders to set aside a percentage of the land they are building on for dry ponds. There is one at the end of my street, and another just across the road. Some are smaller than a swimming pool, while some are soccer field size.

Upgraded my dash cam recently to the Viofo A129 Duo IR and I'm still getting 2 hours of recording loop on it! Looking forward to buying a bigger card to get more footage with my higher resolution dash cam. Thanks Andrew for the recommendations!

  1298. i'm gonna put it bluntly... and more than most likely a most unpopular opinion... i'ts a one word answer... ALWAYS... cars will ALWAYS stop being safe... even with self driving algorithms... there will ALWAYS become a LIMIT which will be crossed and the vehicle will become unsafe... ALWAYS... IF you want to take the mindset of thinking in ABSOLUTE... then the only SAFE way to think about the situation is to ALWAYS know vehicles will be unsafe. SIMPLE you want PEACE OF MIND... i say NO... i once heard a story of a person taking their driver's license test and failing for the simple reason of causing a person in a crosswalk to 'flinch' while crossing because the driver caused to car to move at the intersection... stopped vehicle moves causes pedestrian to flinch. WORST CASE SCENARIO THATS CALLED MAN SLAUGHTER... regardless of driver intent.

  1302.  @Lam  Nowadays, I just use YouTube to find out about product info of dashcams as I find that reviews on YouTube are more up-to-date than written reviews from Google search. Your reviews one of the most thorough of the subject and hence I trust the most. Thank you.

  1308. I absolutely love your videos but I have a question for you I cant find an absolute answer for. My dash cam saved me from being labeled at fault two weeks ago but my cam died in the process. I was set on the A119V3 but I really want a rear cam as well. What would be your recomendation for a two channel or would you say the A119V3 is still the best value and not worry about the two channel?

  1314. this is why you should always buy high end tires, you get the full life out of them without noticing a major change in performance, the tire you showed in the video is a general tire altimax rt43 they are a decent tire for the price and i have mounted a lot of them but as you said , those groves go away after a while and there is still a lot of life left. where if you get a good quality tire like a continental extreme contact DWS 06 plus you will see most of the groves are still there when the tire is at the end of its life. another important part of tires is the tread wear rating, traction rating, and temperature rating. and normally the higher the traction rating the lower the tread wear rating will be. Still a great video man keep up the great work

  1326. The biggest problem recently is that cars have been getting ridiculously heavy. 2.5+ tons, which makes it unsafe for other cars. And it's getting to the point of stupidity. So much for "reducing environmental impact". You can't break the laws of physics. Lugging a heavy car around will cost you more energy to build, and more to drive, and slowly we will be just be asking for even bigger vehicles.

  1331. One area I really wish they would crash test is the effect of rust. Our second vehicle is an old pickup. Mechanically sound, none of the rust is traditionally worrisome (no through wall, no flaking, etc) but the frame is covered in surface rust. The panels have rust bubbles. The steering column is a bit rusty. At what point does the design no longer work as intended? How many salty winters is too many? At least where I live, insurance companies are covering more used cars with some amount of rust than new cars. Seems it would be a variable worth factoring in. If someone has info on it, I would be glad to learn.

  1339. I had no idea that dashcams would have such a following on YouTube. With so many options it makes it hard to choose. Your channel gives us tech heads and car enthusiasts a very clean and professional way of sorting out what cameras are trash and what we should be buying by weighing the important features that can often get confusing. I am really enjoying watching your videos and learning about this subject. Loving all the live comparisons when talking about resolution and bitrate as well as the zoom ins to show license plates. It's a really helpful example that I didn't even know I would like to have seen. Thank you so much for sharing this information, even more impressive without sponsorship. Great work!

  1356. 2:23 Owner of a 1957 Ford Custom. Actually, Ford continues it's Lifeguard design in 57, ergo, the "next year". While you're right that it got backlash from people saying "Macnamara is selling safety, while Chevy is selling cars". In reality, Ford figures were actually still high that year. It's unfortunate that Ford discontinued their safety campaign, but I'm proud that it was Ford and only Ford that pioneered what we use today. Safety glass, lap belts, padded dashboards and a strong, Ridgid frame that flared out around the drivers compartment to protect the passenger compartment.

  1373. Thanks again for the info. Can you please tell us if the A129 or any other Camera can record the GPS-calculated speed and time ? It would be nice if that information can be superimposed on the video. I am asking as this could potentially help with getting out of a speeding ticket or in determining fault in an accident.

  1375.  @Lam  You are already doing a phenomenal job with your channel, I've been a subscriber for 3 years now and it's my go to place for Dashcam knowledge. 1. "How did you find out about Dashcams?" As a truck driver I'm most of the time on the road so I thought about getting a camera, I've looked up YouTube and found your dedicated channel for Dashcams. 2. "When did you decide to get one?" As soon as I learned more about it's importance and reliability, I thought I'd definitely need one, and I tried getting the vicovation opia 2 as you suggested it's the best (at that time) but unfortunately i couldn't manage to get hold of one(not many retailers available)... So since I couldn't get the best, I gave up on it, until recently, when my brother got some Dashcams for his car, and since its been awhile, I thought of looking to see recent products. Another thing I want to point out, the updates you put in your videos are very handy, I always looked to see what's new, and you mentioned on one of your videos the new Viofo v119 V3, I then checked some YouTube video for hands-on and it's storage space and new camera sensor made me confident this is a great budget product. I'm very happy with my cam and I loved seeing your video confirming my thought, keep up this briliant work.

  1376.  @Lam  I dont mind any questions, I'm more than glad to help. 1. "... Is there anything you would like me to produce"- From a YouTube perspective you should definitely grow, for me personally one unique thing and which made pretty confident on your channel is that it is Dashcam dedicated, and I knew focusing on one and only one area, it wouldn't disappoint. So you could definitely give it a try on any other tech or stuff that passionate you and dedicate the same you did here, it won't fail to deliver. 2. "any feedback on what I can do better?" From my long response above I think I've already answered this one as well, for me you're already doing a brilliant job with this Dashcam channel, and the updated comments in your old videos are the icing on the cake, bravo, it would be very interesting for me to see you produce other videos focusing other stuff. 3. "how did you figure out the importance and reliability of Dashcams?" Well with wanting to buy a much expensive car, i don't want to risk parking lot damages and obviously traffic incidents situations where you can end up paying for something you didn't commit, that's where Dashcams kick in.

  1381. I like the video and the video idea but i would have liked it if you stayed on topic a bit more. I felt that halfway through the video it got derailed by facts i personally didnt care about( automated tire machine) and didnt click on the video to know about. I thought the transition to the accident statistics was a good idea but could have been better integrated with the original headline topic. Maybe it was the only way to get over 10mins or its because (like you mentioned) newer to this style of video. All in all a good video though :)

  1383. I recently installed VIOFO A129 DUO on my wife's Volvo V60, got the hardwired option for automatic parking mode, and I'm really pleased with it. One thing I'm not too chuffed about is the quality of the picture at night, otherwise great value for money.

  1384. Excellent review. Great production value and knowledge base. Question - have you tried the CHORTAU 1080p dash cam (2019) ?

  1385. It looks like the one you linked on Amazon is currently unavailable, and they recommend the "2020 Edition." Do you know if there is a difference?
