The problem is the software of Zalbar PC-Viewer don't have the option of Time Zone setting if you connect the GPS antenna then the time will be reset to Korean time.

Yes, that is a big problem with this dash cam. I am changing this cam out and replacing it with a Blackvue model. I have a Blackvue in another truck and it's very easy to use and set up.

Its hard to keep this settings with current date/date. I don't like the way this settings works.

Date/Time are controlled by GPS location -- My date/time is about 14 hours off. The software need an update to properly recognize GPS time zone location. For Parking mode you need a special hard wired cable which is practically impossible to find. The user manual tells you what you need. But I have yet to find it sold anywhere online or offline, I am thinking about making my own. Great Camera for the Price, good video, and ok but useful rear-view. Wish it would accept a bigger SD card, and able to change % usage of storage better.

GPS will get the time and date correct automatically. Not sure for the parking mode. You probably need connect the power to the battery directly.

Day night time set u is easy the mania does help..REGARDING the parking mode this company and camera is made soooo stupid...in order for parking mode to work it has to be connected directly to your car's battery/fuse box...parking mode will not work in the ignition lighter alone..i have a new van and was worried abt voiding my warranty on my car if I interfered with the electrical so I bought and external battery pack and plugged it into that all night when my car was off

Go and download the msetup and you can make the camera do what you want it to do.http://www.mytempfiles.info/mobius/index.html

Time and Date are set using the LCD screen and button controls of this camera. Fist, make sure that Date and Time display is enabled by pressing the round red button on the top of the unit to turn recording off (do this only is currently recording). Then press the Menu button. Then press the Down button three times until "Time Stamp" is selected. Press the round red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu, then press the Down button until "Date&Time" is selected. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit. Then press the Menu button, and then press the Down button maybe seven times until "Date Input" is highlighted. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu. Press the Down button to highlight "Set", then press the round Red button at the top of the unit. You will see that "YYYY / MM / DD" is highlighted. Press the round red button once to highlight the year on the next second line. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the correct year is set. Then press the round Red button to select the month. Use UP or DOWN buttons again until the desired month is shown, and then the round Red button. Same for day of the month. The hour will be selected. Remember to use 24-hour time for the hour! Use UP and DOWN buttons to select 1-24 for the hour, then press the round Red button to select the minute. Continue with the UP, DOWN, and round Red button for minute and second until you are back at the menu screen. Press the Menu button again, and you can verify that the correct time is shown on the bottom right corner of the LCD display! If this is helpful, then please write a short two-word "Thank You" in reply. It took me a couple of hours of researching on the internet before I could put the pieces together to understand this procedure! Your reply will let me know if anyone reads these things!

The camera has three settings, date with time, date without time, or off. Additional details can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS25_ADV.PDF#page=106

Hmm that is strange, as I have mine set up and it runs without a hitch! I do have it set to record upon motion detected, and it has caught most everything, even squirrels and cats walking by. I have not used the timed hours feature, I should try it to see if it works correctly. You might double check the clock it is going by, to ensure it has the correct time. I am sorry to hear that there is no support, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope that mine continues to work as it has so far - perfectly. I have experienced the fact that when it is recording, the viewpoint defaults to the camera with which it is recording with, and you cannot see the other camera(s) while it is recording. I just have the 2 cameras, and when I have it in quad mode, it does warn me that scheduled recording cannot begin as long as it is in quad mode; I just get seasick watching it constantly switch back and forth between the cameras, and I want to see both of them at once, all the time, hence the quad mode viewing. I have been very happy with this product. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved.

I found mine works best in 'Sunshine' mode at night. Makes no sense but it is what it is. It still underwhelms at night but I suppose if there were an accident it would suffice to show fault. Forget reading license plates at night: this camera is just not up to the task.

I love how this always works out for me. I wanted this camera for my cruise on the 18th, but went ahead and got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Red) last week because I didn't think the Nikon would be here in time. Now that it's here, what should I do? I like the GPS on the Panasonic, but it takes HORRIBLE low light pics. Any help would be appreciated!

Software is included. It was either on a disk or built into the camera, can't remember... you'll login to the system over your local network and set it up.as far as updating firmware or software, I have had zero luck. If you figure it out please post

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine. Susana from Ecuador.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

Night time was just ok, as daytime was pretty good. I had to return the mini 0801 as it was not working properly. I had contacted E Prance for a software update and they claimed they didn't have one. The cam would record sometimes and sometimes not, and the date and time were always out of sync. That is why I returned it after about 2 months. There are better choices for dash cams. I am waiting to find one that is reliable. Apparently most of them are cheap Chinese manufactured ones, which when you read the reviews about the different models, all are about the same quality with some similar issues. Draw your own conclusion. Good luck

Dean, the only sofeware I have found is the software that came with the cameras, but I hate it! Did you not get the disc when you bought the cameras? If not, I would be happy to send you one, I have 12. I find the cameras to work well, but the software terrible and have not found anything else compatible. I understand the cameras are now obsolete. THe company went out of business. Should you find something let me know,please. tnt6125@aol.com. thanks Tom

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

I have the SD1300 IS and I can't find a way to auto time lapse. Disappointing.

The manual is still available on line from Kodak. I would suggest that you buy a newer more up-to-date camera.

Most probably yes, you are not using the camera correctly, I advice you to read the manual again. I have this camera for 6 months now, and it works perfectly! Good luck with that. Also take into account the light, because it might be that you are using the flash when you don't need it =)
