Thank you and I really like your review, I just bought one last night.
Thanks. I tried my best.

What is the firmware version your camera came with?
I'm looking on their website and there is an update 2.0 for the camera and the viewer.
I need your help.
I just got the camera, and connected it to the power, only to find out that it's in Korean. The manual also came in Korean, with no instruction of how to change it to English.
There is a way at all to change it to English?
Also I have problem with the touch screen, when I try to press the setting button it actually
enables something else.
Is there any way to reset it?

I just got mine the same way from eBay yesterday. You need to load the latest English firmware on in by unzipping the files from the firmware package to the root directory of the SD card. Then plug the card into the unit and it will downgrade from Korean 2.3 to English 2.0 fimware and everything will be in English after that. Thanks Niko for uploading the English PDF too, that is the only English manual available at the moment.
I would also say that there is no need to tape over the Albatros II logo, you can just peel that sticker off completely.
Excellent review!
I rarely stray from the Pitasoft sub-forum, but frustrated by the image quality on the DR550 I'm looking for alternatives to fit on my other cars.
This unit actually looks very good.
For sure there whould be a way to change language ( I need to research ), but first will ask where from did you buy it ? mine came with already pre-installed English firmware.
Hey, sorry for the late replay. Well yes, I ordered mine from Ebay (dream-seller).
And only after I complained that it's in Korean, he emailed me the English firmware with instructions on how to update the camera.
I just finished installing the camera today and the only problem I have is that the time keeps jumping to 11/24/13 at 6PM. When I change it to the right time, the camera shows the right time but after it comes back from parking mode, it changes to the wrong time 11/24/13 6PM again. Any thought how to fix it?
You have to set time zone via PC Viewer program. You will find all info in user manual.
Thanks, I did it and now it's fine.
I had to work today and I just want to tell you and any others that wants to buy this camera is that the Impact mode is VERY sensitive, and I set it on the "Insensitive" and still many false events. like I was driving after stopping at the light and then another false impact event.
Does this cam come with the GPS standard or is there another link on Astrobile to add GPS for this unit? Also, is Astrobile from Korea and is anyone here selling the same unit as a distributer or similar type company?
Not sure why Astrobile does not list the GPS accessory on their website, but Apple-CT on eBay offers the 32GB version with GPS for $403 USD versus $429 USD at Astrobile with no GPS and only 16BG. Looks like Apple-CT is the way to go at this point, but will keep my options open at this point.
Yes, I previously read that post.
I would expect that a firmware update would take care of this issue if Ulive was so inclined to update it. I'll send them an email and see what their response is.
Besides this issue, what are your feelings on this camera overall? I know you are frustrated with the Impact logging, but if you can give a fair review of the camera, I would be interested in your views. I was set to buy this today, but will wait until a little longer I think until I can learn more.
Overall, it looks like a good camera and I hope it will be worth getting. I'll post Ulive's response when I get it...
Personally, I have no use for the parking mode operation and having it running without any way to turn it off is not a great thing. In regards to Urive, they just ignored my email and didn't bother to respond. Not a great way to earn my business...
