1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,840
Here's a product that everybody needs

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,160
and not enough people are talking about.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,800
It's a dash cam. And Vanru sponsored

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,800
this ShortCircuit of the unboxing of

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,440
their P2, which is the second in the

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,120
pilot series of dash cams. And the cool

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,840
thing about it is that this is the

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,320
world's first dash cam system with a

9
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,000
thermal camera. And you might be like,

10
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,359
"Brother, why do you need a thermal

11
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,039
camera nighttime?" And Vanrude told us

12
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:28,480
that the reason they were inspired to

13
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:31,840
make this product was actually there was

14
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,600
a really bad crash uh in China in 2023

15
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,200
where thick fog very unfortunately

16
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,360
claimed the lives of 19 people and

17
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,640
injured 20 others. Uh and one of the big

18
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,879
advantage of this system is that it's

19
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,360
not just recording the things that uh

20
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:44,879
have happened. It actually has a little

21
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,280
entertainment unit that can give you

22
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:49,680
advanced forewarning to help keep you

23
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,920
safe on the fly. First, let's finish

24
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,120
unboxing all this stuff. We have our

25
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,520
12vt adapter. We have our very long CO

26
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,120
to C number one. We have our slightly

27
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,120
less long C to C 2. And then we have a C

28
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,040
to proprietary connector that will plug

29
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,040
into our third camera. That's because

30
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,479
this is a quad camera system. There's

31
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880
our thermal camera that's going to sit

32
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:12,799
on the hood. We have our front camera

33
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,799
that's in the front of our cabin that's

34
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,720
facing out, but then also driver side

35
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,320
in. And then we have our rear camera.

36
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,320
So, this has kind of got you covered all

37
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,640
around your car. Let's see what else we

38
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,520
got. Okay, we have uh little cable

39
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,000
management buddoo hickeyies. I think

40
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,720
that's the technical term. We have other

41
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,799
velcro style cable management. We have

42
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,079
uh what I is a panel lifter for your

43
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:35,360
car. We're going to talk a little bit

44
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,040
more about the installation when we get

45
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,759
there. The next thing we have, and this

46
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,840
is kind of the heart of the system, is

47
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:46,079
this 6.25 in touchscreen display. They

48
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,640
call it their HUD display. This just

49
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:50,240
like feels like a giant phone. This is

50
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,320
so weird, especially like an iPhone 8

51
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,000
with the freaking return button. And

52
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,759
most of the processing that's happening

53
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,799
with all the units is happening in the

54
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:58,719
screen. So that means that if you

55
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,560
actually have to replace a camera, you

56
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,439
only have to replace that camera and

57
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,719
cable, which is about $150, uh you don't

58
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:06,000
have to replace the whole system all at

59
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:08,160
once. So I think that's a smart

60
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,039
consideration for making this a pretty

61
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,959
decent value package. Oh, the back

62
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,400
actually comes off and that's really

63
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:16,720
cool. Venture is actually releasing the

64
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,080
3D printing schematics, so you could

65
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,360
either print theirs or you could

66
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,959
customize and make something that will

67
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,800
work better for your vehicle. So, we

68
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:24,640
have on the back our little mount. We

69
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,400
have a lot of cooling. We don't know a

70
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,560
ton about the processing, but it is a

71
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,959
dual core high performance chip. We also

72
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,480
have an ox port. We have a type-C, which

73
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,400
is our power in. On the top, we have our

74
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,080
primary physical button, as well as our

75
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,840
micro SD slot. That's good for up to a

76
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,040
terabyte of storage. I mean, the whole

77
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,120
point of a dash cam is to be able to

78
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,680
have a a good coverage of any accidents

79
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,200
that have happened. And especially if

80
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,319
someone dings your car and you need to

81
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760
be able to go back through your footage,

82
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:52,160
it's nice to be able to have that 1

83
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,840
TBTE. On the other side, we have our

84
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,160
thermal cameras and then our front cabin

85
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,480
and rear port. One thing that's really

86
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,360
cool about this unit is that it's not

87
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,040
just designed to control the cameras.

88
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,800
You can actually connect it to your uh

89
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,400
entertainment system. It has Bluetooth.

90
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,800
It's a huge upgrade, especially if you

91
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,159
have an older car. You can do texts via

92
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,560
chat. So, while you're driving, you can

93
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,239
communicate safely, which is huge. Avoid

94
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
those really expensive distracted

95
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:17,200
driving tickets. Don't text and drive,

96
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560
people. Be smart. Another thing to

97
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,480
mention is that it's not just Bluetooth

98
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,560
connectivity. It actually has Wi-Fi 6,

99
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,400
so you can get faster and more seamless

100
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,560
connection to your phone device that

101
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,519
you're offloading these videos to. Next

102
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,440
up, we have this little guy is actually

103
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:35,280
our thermal camera, and this is the

104
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,040
weatherproof housing for it. So, this

105
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,080
will actually mount to your hood. This

106
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,640
goes forward and this sees in the dark

107
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,959
of night, baby, just like a vampire. One

108
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,480
thing of note is that this has to be on

109
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:47,840
the outside of your vehicle because

110
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,680
thermal imaging doesn't really work

111
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,879
through glass and so it has to be on the

112
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
outside. You can mount it to your roof,

113
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:53,200
you can mount it to your hood, and

114
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,319
important to note because this is going

115
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560
to be on the outside of your car. The

116
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,239
camera is IP67 rated, which means that

117
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,120
it's fully waterproof. Uh, and then you

118
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,760
also have weatherproof housing. What

119
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,159
else we got? We have our front and cabin

120
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,159
camera. We have our type-C out. We have

121
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:09,360
our two cameras. We have our one facing

122
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,799
forward so we can capture the accents.

123
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,640
And then we have the one facing the

124
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:14,080
cabin. This might be something that you

125
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,840
want, especially if you're like an Uber

126
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,600
driver. You can record for your safety

127
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,959
or in a lawsuit, someone's claiming you

128
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560
were on your phone or you didn't have

129
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,079
your seatelt on. You can prove them

130
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,720
right and defend yourself in the court

131
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,680
of law. Lastly, we have our backup

132
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,000
camera, which looks a fair bit like the

133
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,560
front and cabin one, but is smaller with

134
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,840
one single camera and it faces the rear

135
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,600
and it captures your butt. Uh, that's

136
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,440
everything that's in the box. I say that

137
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,919
as as if there wasn't a freaking

138
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,440
buttload of things in the box. We're

139
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:45,280
outside if you haven't noticed. We're

140
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,440
going to install this in a real goodness

141
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,240
to gracious car. So, let's start with

142
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,600
our HUD. There's four mounting holes, so

143
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,040
you could potentially screw it to

144
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,919
something. This is someone's real car. I

145
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,840
don't want to do that. So, we're just

146
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,040
going to VHB the stuff here. We are not

147
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,400
going to worry about cable management

148
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,400
because this is just a temporary

149
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,680
install. That's actually nice that I can

150
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,680
take this off the stand so I can more

151
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,000
easily plug things in. And then we got

152
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,520
power. Step one

153
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,440
complete. Next, we're going to install

154
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,520
our front and cabin camera. We're going

155
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,320
to get it high so it's kind of hidden by

156
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,759
the visor thingy maboober. It's called a

157
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,600
rear view mirror for those who don't

158
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:24,160
know. Double side tape's the greatest

159
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,160
invention. Step aside, bread. Next is

160
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,680
the part of this installation process

161
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,759
that has probably been the reason I

162
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,320
haven't actually installed the dash cam,

163
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,840
which is running all the wires. Next up,

164
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,560
rear camera. Same process. VHB pointed

165
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:40,080
backwards, baby. And then of note, the

166
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,000
rear camera actually plugs into the

167
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,000
front camera. The idea being that you

168
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,320
only have to run a wire through the top.

169
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,479
And finally, we have our thermal camera.

170
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,120
And then that leaves our ox port empty,

171
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:53,199
which is designed so that we can connect

172
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,039
our phone to the Bluetooth of this

173
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:57,440
device and then ox out from this to the

174
00:05:55,039 --> 00:05:59,039
car. Um, depending on the kind of car

175
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,759
you have. Uh, we can change the refresh

176
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:04,000
rate, so 50 or 60 Hz. We can change our

177
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:06,000
speed unit. Uh, I'm not a crazy person,

178
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
so I'm going to do kilometers. 5 GHz or

179
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,720
2.4 GHz. We're going to stick to five.

180
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Wa. All right. We have our front camera,

181
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,120
our thermal camera, our rear camera that

182
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,360
is upside down. I'm hoping we can clip

183
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,639
that. Okay, we we can manage to flip it

184
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,759
back. We're going to have to tilt it

185
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,840
down a little bit because I don't really

186
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,759
need to see the clouds uh when I'm

187
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:25,039
filing an insurance claim, although it

188
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,600
is quite peaceful. Uh and then we have

189
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:29,039
our cabin one is actually doing a really

190
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,560
good job catching everything. I put it

191
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,919
really close to the mirror, so we were

192
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,759
worried we wouldn't see enough of what's

193
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:35,759
happening in the cabin, but this looks

194
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,080
great. I think it's time for us to take

195
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,919
this out for a little drive and uh see

196
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,280
how we do. The thing I'm really curious

197
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:44,960
about is how good the latency on the

198
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:47,199
thermal camera is because this is what

199
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,600
I'd actually want to use if I was

200
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:51,680
driving on dark streets at night to see

201
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,319
animals. So that one thing that's cool

202
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,440
is that uh this can act as an sort of AR

203
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:59,520
heads up and identify people uh on your

204
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,360
screen with like a little square so that

205
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,280
it's a little bit easier to spot them

206
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,039
even in the dark. Uh if you're going for

207
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,639
runs at night though, wear reflective

208
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:07,680
assets. Pretty important to stay alive.

209
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,199
You know what I'm saying? Another thing

210
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,639
to note is that the thermal camera is

211
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,240
not really meant for day use. It

212
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,919
actually has a protection feature that

213
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,840
it'll turn off the sensor if it's too

214
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:17,199
bright or if it senses 3 seconds of

215
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120
bright lights coming at it so it doesn't

216
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:22,479
damage that sensor, but it's working for

217
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,560
us. We live in an overcast uh eternal uh

218
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:26,160
purgatory. One thing of that's important

219
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,759
is not to get distracted by looking at

220
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280
yourself. I mean, you with one button

221
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:31,199
press, you can turn it off. You don't

222
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400
have to worry about it. Uh, and in my

223
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,319
case, I probably would keep it off

224
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,919
because I do find myself constantly

225
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,599
looking at the screen and I wouldn't be

226
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:39,199
using the entertaining features,

227
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:40,880
although you might want to. So, let's

228
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:43,280
take a look at those. We connected our

229
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,599
phone via CarPlay. It took almost no

230
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,280
time at all. Really fast, actually. The

231
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:48,960
way that this car is set up, we are not

232
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,800
going to connect to the entertainment

233
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,680
system. You do need to connect via ox

234
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,160
cable is a great option, but you still

235
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,639
do have other CarPlay features like

236
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Siri. Hey Siri, direct me to the Linus

237
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:02,120
Media Group offices.

238
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
>> Easy peasy, baby. We want to make sure

239
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:07,919
that our footage was actually recording.

240
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440
So, we're going to check. Oh, yeah. It's

241
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:10,879
there. And one thing that's cool is that

242
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,960
it's actually sorted from like normal

243
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:14,879
video, so just the continuous camera. We

244
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,319
have event video, so if it knows that

245
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,440
something happened, that'll be saved

246
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,800
there. And then we have stuff from

247
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,160
parking, which we don't have cuz we

248
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,360
haven't been running a little parking

249
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,599
and photo. So, it's kind of nice that

250
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,759
it's organized a little bit for you. I

251
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:27,199
think now it's time to uh hand the keys

252
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:29,680
back to Brad, let him drive around for

253
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,680
the weekend and convene on Monday and

254
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,680
take a look at our footage. We're back.

255
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,800
It's Monday. Brad had the camera over

256
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,240
the weekend, so we're going to review

257
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,159
some footage. I'm going to need some

258
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,800
help. We're going to play a fun game of

259
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:42,000
how bad of a driver is Brad. I didn't

260
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,680
want to play this. He wanted to play

261
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,440
this.

262
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,959
>> Wife had different ideas. I have to play

263
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,959
this to fill everyone in. I moved out

264
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,279
here and crashed my car immediately.

265
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:51,360
>> Nice.

266
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:53,600
>> And so we are now learning if I was in a

267
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,880
bad situation or if I'm a bad driver.

268
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,279
>> Did you have a dash cam at the time?

269
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,560
>> No.

270
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:56,880
>> Did you wish you had a dash cam at the

271
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,920
time?

272
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,720
>> Maybe.

273
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,560
>> Yeah.

274
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,480
>> It depends on if you were at full turn.

275
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,680
>> Yeah. Yeah. I was trying my best. All

276
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,720
right. Sometimes things just go wrong

277
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,040
for people. So, first footage or first

278
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,920
clip, I guess we should say, is this was

279
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,360
me not being led out of a merge lane. I

280
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,360
felt like this guy was being a huge

281
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,600
 David's going to determine if

282
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,920
he was an or if I am a poor

283
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,959
driver.

284
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,839
>> This is way more fun than I thought. I

285
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:21,120
thought we were just going to like open

286
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:22,080
up a folder with all the footage and

287
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,360
kind of scrub through.

288
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,600
>> Actually, on that note, before we get

289
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,040
into this, what we should mention is um

290
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,120
we accidentally forgot to turn the car

291
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,120
off when we installed it. So, it ran

292
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,480
from about 12:30 in the afternoon to

293
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,880
about 6:45 7ish when I got home.

294
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,920
>> Okay.

295
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,040
>> Um and that was I think over 50 gigs of

296
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,720
footage. Obviously, we had that running

297
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
for an extremely long period of time,

298
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,959
but that's just kind of an estimate on

299
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
how much footage you're getting because

300
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:45,279
there's four cameras in here.

301
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,320
>> Yeah. And one of the features of this

302
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:48,080
camera is that you actually don't need

303
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,519
to record all the time. It'll sense when

304
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,600
there's events and give you 10 seconds

305
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:53,279
of pre-recorded footage. So, it's it is

306
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880
always recording, but it's not saving to

307
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,560
the the drive. So,

308
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,720
>> yeah, we can actually pull that open and

309
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,720
you can see like normal and event in the

310
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,120
the folder and photos if we took any

311
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,320
photos. But

312
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,360
>> I would just take selfies all day.

313
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,040
>> Yeah. All right. So, here is Oh, this

314
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,760
looks good. It's really clear.

315
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,360
>> Yeah, there's pretty good lighting.

316
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Although I will say on this drive, I

317
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,720
didn't have a B-roll cam set up, so we

318
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,480
don't have any footage of it. Um, but

319
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,640
this is the type of drive where the sun

320
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,440
is kind of directly at us. The infrared

321
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,959
camera would turn off sometimes, but all

322
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,120
other drives all over the weekend coming

323
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:25,120
to work today, everything was no

324
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,200
problem. All right, so here he is.

325
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,320
>> He's coming over.

326
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600
>> And I'm just, you know, I'm just trying

327
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,040
to drive this lane. I guess what we saw

328
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,320
in the earlier clip was that it ends.

329
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Like there is no way for me to stay in

330
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120
this lane. I have to come out.

331
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,519
>> Oh, that license plate's really clear.

332
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,079
>> Yeah.

333
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:39,279
>> Nice job, Vandrew. I see there he

334
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:40,399
finally backs out. Look how much space I

335
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:41,920
had there.

336
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:42,880
>> And then he's like right on my ass. What

337
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,120
is this guy doing?

338
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,720
>> So legally I think he is right. I think

339
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,279
you're supposed to yield when you're

340
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,160
merging.

341
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:51,760
>> Damn.

342
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,480
>> This is not how I wanted.

343
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,040
>> But I feel like as a social contract on

344
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,839
the road, the smart move for him is not

345
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,360
to box you out. Like that's a basic

346
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:03,279
school like driving school thing of

347
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,200
like, hey, you see someone coming into

348
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,519
that merge lane, give them room or get

349
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,120
ahead of them. Don't do this. This is

350
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,839
just bad driving. It's not necessarily

351
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,760
illegal, but this guy, thumbs down.

352
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:14,880
>> Yeah, I'll take that. So, this is kind

353
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,880
of like what you see when you're

354
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,320
driving. You see these like four things.

355
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,000
I've got like an iPhone attached to the

356
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,519
roof here. So, like when we pull this

357
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040
footage off, you don't get these green

358
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,079
boxes, but this is what you see when

359
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,320
you're on the road is like there's

360
00:11:24,079 --> 00:11:27,600
somebody. Personally, I think it would

361
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,200
be nice if it was like a little bit of a

362
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,959
wider angle. Uh it makes sense that it's

363
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,800
not the widest. Uh and they kind of make

364
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:34,560
up for it for depth sensing. There's 500

365
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,279
ft thermal detection range and then a

366
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:39,519
200T AI detection range. Uh, and so it

367
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:41,120
it goes pretty far, which is useful. And

368
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:42,560
for the price that this comes in at, I'm

369
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,320
actually pretty impressed at how clear

370
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,680
the thermal camera footage is. All

371
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,160
right, here's another one where it's

372
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:51,040
like, am I a bad driver or was it a bad

373
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,480
situation? Before David says anything

374
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,760
watching this back, I will say the wide

375
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,279
angle makes it look like there's more

376
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,079
space. Maybe this is where I want less

377
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,680
of a wide angle.

378
00:11:56,079 --> 00:11:59,200
>> So, when you're merging or when you're

379
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:01,200
changing lanes, it's your responsibility

380
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,320
to yield to the the traffic that's

381
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,680
already there. So any if she doesn't

382
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,279
leave you enough room where you have to

383
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,760
slow down, that is on her. Yeah.

384
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:10,399
>> Uh so you did okay on this one.

385
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160
>> All right.

386
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:14,000
>> This rear camera is surprisingly sharp.

387
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Like it's really easy to see things and

388
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160
all the details.

389
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,440
>> Here's one where at night you can see

390
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,560
the license plates pretty good.

391
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,120
>> Oh, that's super clear.

392
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,399
>> Mhm.

393
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,839
>> This has convinced me that I think it's

394
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:25,040
time for me to get a dash cam.

395
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:26,079
>> Okay, so here is a front rear clip

396
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,519
driving through gas town. So there

397
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,399
should be lots of people, lots of

398
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:30,320
things.

399
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:31,600
>> Maybe a little too bright. There we go.

400
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,720
It actually does pretty okay on the

401
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
contrast. Like the fact that there's so

402
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,079
much light and dark and everything is

403
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,120
still visible is pretty impressive.

404
00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:38,639
>> Boom. Did you clock those guys?

405
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360
>> Oh yeah, those are right. Predator.

406
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,800
There they are.

407
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160
>> Oh, and I shouldn't forget if you're

408
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
worried about hitting animals in the

409
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,399
dark at night, worry no more. Van, that

410
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,200
thermal camera will identify the animal

411
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:51,120
and uh help you avoid hitting that deer.

412
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680
They sent over B-roll of what it looks

413
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,160
like.

414
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:55,680
>> All right, I'll leave you guys to um you

415
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,560
know, found out a lot about myself here.

416
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,200
I am going to sit quietly and think

417
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:02,480
about things that I've done

418
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160
just like I'm going to be thinking about

419
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,560
the value of this product. The Vantrew

420
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,079
Pilot 2 starts at $500 right now on

421
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,760
pre-order. That gets you the full camera

422
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:12,160
system and a micro SD. You can order

423
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,839
more, get slightly bigger discounts. Um,

424
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
but that's that's it for ShortCircuit.

425
00:13:13,839 --> 00:13:17,040
That's our unboxing. If you want more

426
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,200
dash cam content, why don't you check

427
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,120
out the time that LTT compared a bunch

428
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,160
of dash cams all at once? It's a very

429
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160
different vibe, but it's a good
