This unit doesn't get too hot but Texas is too hot so you may want something with capacitor or just try it out.Can anyone offer a review on the units heat dissipation? I live in south Texas, and I am particularly curious if it will be toasted in summer...
Parking mode needs hard wiring and I don't have it setup that way yet.Can you make a video and explain how is work the parking mode please?Thanks
Hey guys. My name's Chris and im from Poland in Europe. My D201 just came from Gearbest. Bought it at Black Friday for 90 bucks. I have some things to share with You about bugs in firmware that i noticed since last tuesday. My firmware is ZX-A12a55-G-1997W and unfortunately i think it's the latest available
This is very much in comparison with G1WH thas I use like 10 hours a day from 2014.
- Secure SOS file option sucks ass. On screen display does not show the time until the end of the current recording file, but only time from ignition start, so after 47
minutes after I started engine I have 47minut recording time on display, and it gives me nothing, and I dont know who will need such info. G1WH displays recording time of the currently
file (in my case 5min) and when I pressed the SOS button it saves the file you are currently recording. The D201, when I click on the SOS, protects only one minute of video and
protected video looks more or less like 8 seconds of video before you press the SOS button and like 52 seconds after pressing. ITS RETARDED! I see an event on road and I press
SOS to secure this event and in protected file I have what happends after I click /!\ button,. This option would make sense if it was protecting at least two minutes back plus one minute forward.
- There is no manual protection / deprotection files from the menu - lame
- When viewing movies on the device I dont know which file is protected and which not. No info in tumbnails menu either.
- Limited playback options from the device. It is just fast forward of x2 and x4, does not even play / pause. G1WH had a rewind of x2, x4, x8 and fast forward x2, x4, x8 and had a play / pause.
- Menu works very slowly, especially when moving through thumbnails of videos. OMG, I have to wait a second each time I click on the arrow to jump from one file to another. G1WH is like 10 times faster
- Limited date display options. We only have YY / MM / DD. In G1WH it was also MM / DD / YY and DD / MM / YY - not much but someone could maybe use it...
- There is no EV or white balance correction, though funny is that in the manual at the end of the FAQ someone mentioned about such correction and white balance correction!
- You cannot remove current speed from display , even if the GPS is detached
- With a resolution of 1920 font of date gets smaller than in 2560
Hey Fandy Will there be any Firmware updates for this D201 or do you mean a future product?You will see the changes in future version DAB201.

Wow this sucks. Thanks for the info. I was going to get this camera but seems like it is useless. 8secs of recording for the event is too low. So for now G1WH is king? Also half the price... too bad is lower res though.
Where installation of the GPS unit.HDR @ 1440p Night Videos:
From residential area to strip mall: On battery power.
Strip mall to residential area: On battery power. Battery lasted almost 8 minutes.

Night videos are very good. Great resolution, color and visibility.
Easy to see objects and people walking.
