Disappointed with manual recording mode

I bought a DR900S-1CH about a year ago because it seemed to be the best product on the market. But the limitation of manual recording mode only starting 5 seconds earlier kills me. (Aside from the fact that the proximity sensor doesn't recognize my hand half the time.)

How the heck are you supposed to capture an intense moment on the road? There's a good chance you're still dealing with whatever happened 5 seconds later. THIS BUFFER TIME NEEDS TO BE LONGER. How is this not the #1 most discussed problem?

There are a couple of other threads on this (#1, #2), and I have reached out to support as well. But until this gets addressed, this camera is unfortunately completely worthless to me.

Can someone at PITTASOFT please comment on why this doesn't exist? Until then I can't recommend this product. As many features as it has, it's missing literally the most important thing - record about a minute of what happened before you start a manual recording.

    We will not be able to confront the surprises that G Switch will happen after buying any product and then they generate errors.

    However, if you find the current functionality inconvenient, you may want to consider reaching out to the manufacturer or the customer support team of the dashcam product. They might be able to provide insights, workarounds, or potential firmware updates that address this limitation. They may also appreciate your feedback as it could help them improve their product in the future. Candy Crush
    Additionally, it's worth noting that dashcam models and features can vary across different manufacturers and product lines. If the limitation continues to be a significant concern for you, you might explore other dashcam models on the market that offer the specific recording functionality you desire.
    Remember to review product specifications, features, and user reviews before making a purchasing decision to ensure the dashcam meets your specific requirements.
