A139 (Pro) Telephoto Remote Camera

[kamkar]

We are not very good at welcoming people here, for a range of reasons, though the most bad ones are rare.
We are a awkward people in many ways, this you will also find a few videos on youtube about, it is not CUZ we want to not be nice just a stupid trait we have, this both private and in the work space.
We are also experts in tearing ourself down, hence we have "the law of Jante", which really is just stupid.

But once you get under the skin of most Danes they are quite nice, even if i strongly detest the socialist core values that are so prevalent in our society, i actually say in socialism / socialist core values our country are a bigger success than any communist country i know of.

If your niece is in Randers, and need a shoulder to cry on, or a old guy to bounce her frustrations off, i live here.
If she are in the Capitol, well 10 wind horses could not drag me over there, i personally feel they are another kind of Danes there, the kind i do not like.

Hmm...Strange, and after that you complain that only shepherds and savages come to your country???

How do you think this telephoto performance?

@viofo Any more updates on the telephoto being tested?

Viofo decided to not follow this way.

Any updates on the new path...

I just wanted to reply to a post which was more than 6 months old because some people accused me that it is impossible that I didn't read this thread until now. So I was reading it yesterday and giving a reply to the last post here, a guy who never received an answer or help. Seems that he is not interested, but maybe others are.
(By the way, a custom telephoto lens on a camera was not invented by somebody on this forum.)

If you are also concerned about how it is possible that I didn't read this topic I will explain also to you that this topic was opened in an area which was not interesting for me: the A139 dashcam with IMX335 CMOS. When this thread was opened I already had the a139 pro dashcam which was a much better dashcam than A139 with the IMX678 chipset and HDR. When people trying here to use a telephoto lens on a secondary camera I already had better results on the A139 Pro because of the IMX678 and the HDR magic: reading a car license plate at night at 100km/h (total speed 190km/h). Without any telephoto lens!
Also in last time I was not so an active forum member, but I always keep testing dashcam and firmware but without posting here because of the too much offtopic.

Dashcam users are lucky because Viofo did not follow the requests to create a telephoto camera based on what was discussed here and I consider that these decisions were good because:
1. Viofo to not listen some telephoto guru from here and create a poor product. This thread has 15 pages but on page 2, in 2022, Viofo already gave a hint here but nobody cares at that time, the gurus already knew how the telephoto science is working and new technology which was already developed can not beat their assumptions.
2. Not necessary to create a telephoto camera on an outdated product when a new one was released and was included the hint above by Viofo. 13 more pages wasted without any result.
3. Me, not a telephoto guru, to not post here in all that time because I could be potentially influenced by some telephoto guru and going on a wrong way like all went here: a telephoto lens on a non-HDR Full HD CMOS. Being not influenced, I could follow my way using the new technology and the result is something like this:



I don't want to continue the discussion from here, this area is already outdated for me. The Viofo telephoto camera will be presented on DashCamTalk forum by other people, I don't know who they are, you can be one of them or the OP of this topic because he already have a lot of experience at least from real life testing and not just imagination like some tele-guru. But I will be more interested to read a thread made by somebody from USA because I already know what to expect from UK car license plates which are similar to EU license plates.

For me the target was achieved, Viofo was not following the wrong way, they chose the correct way. I will explain someday on Youtube some more things about car registration plates legibility so people to do the correct things to achieve the best results.
