Post-Accident FitCamX Review
I'd been driving around with a FitCamX dashcam wired into my rear view power supply for a while, occasionally checking to make sure it worked. Was pretty good for peace of mind, and I was generally satisfied with the video quality.
However, recently I was in an accident; the impact must have knocked out the 12V power momentarily, because the video feed cut out a second or two before impact, and resumed several seconds afterwards, after the camera reboots.
After looking into it, it appears that FitCamX doesn't use a supercapacitor to bridge power interruptions, it uses a battery (which very quickly goes bad in a car).
So I honestly wouldn't recommend these to anyone, unless you really dig the aesthetics and don't care about the reliability of the recording function. I'll likely be going with a Viofo or BlackVue instead, but welcome any recommendations!
