But the Aptina maximum resolution is just 2592x1944 (5MP) so it is not even 2880x2160p as Aukey declared. The Aptina 0521 size is 1/2.5' which is bigger than 1/3' OV4689 which means more details and better for Aptina and it also have more pixels: 5MP vs 4MP.

So in reality you will have a Full HD or 2K video resized to 4K Ultra HD. This 4MP does not means the video is recorded at 4K (3840x2160p), but it can be recorded up to 2688x1520 (4085760 pixels = 4MP) which is only about 2K resolution. On its specification it is written: The 1/3-inch OV4689 (which is a small sensor compared to others) can capture full-resolution 4-megapixel high definition (HD). 4K needs 8MP CMOS.ДЄs you can see most of them are using the OmniVision OV4689 4MP CMOS. Acekool 4K Dash Cam Reason: OV4689 4MP CMOS. Rexing V1 4K UHD Reason: OV4689 4MP CMOS. Aukey was releasing also fake 4K action cameras so creating fakes is a common thing for them.Дў. Reason: Aptina AR0521 CMOS which is just 5MP = 2.5K, not 4K. The list of fake 4K dashcameras you should not buy:ДЎ. Price: right now is expected a real 4K camera to cost over $150 China price

Brand (an well known brand are expected to release real 4K dash cameras)Д¤. Chipset specifications: must to contain at least 3840x2160 resolution but take care to the FPS because recording at everything under 24FPS is considered fake because Ultra HD standards are not accepting FPS like 20FPS, 10FPS, 15FPS. The real 8MP CMOS specifications: must to contain at least 3840x2160 resolutionДў.

The golden rule: a 4K dashcam must to have at least a real 8MP Image Sensor. We do not need a FullHD or a 2K resized to Ultra HD because we are not obtaining more details on our videos because we will have the same Full HD or 2K recorded at higher bitrate and wasting space on the card. We need that much more video information over the Full HD. Please look at this image to understand why is so needed a camera to be a real 4K. Is expected such manufacturers to not use real 8MP CMOS so we can catch them here but also their video could be recorded at just 15-20FPS which is also fake. It is expected that some manufacturers to use some poor chipsets which are resizing a Full HD video to 4K and in this way they will cheat you.

You will see in reality a 2880 resized to 3840 but keep in mind that also that 2880 was resized by the camera software before encoding the image into the video. 2880x2160 found on some dashcams is not 4K, is just 2160p and you will see that in reality is just 2K! The camera is recording the video at 2880x2160 but in the header of the videos is written an information for the player which is telling him to play the video file at 3840x2140, so the player is making a resize of the image. Now is time to fight against fake 4K dashcams! This is the biggest dashcam forum in the world so we should raise our voices.Д¤K Ultra HD resolution is 3840x2160 and FPS over 24FPS.

I was fighting against fake 4K action cameras here. We can win only if we will return back to sellers the false advertised products! More returns, more changes to win.
