Ausdom AD118 vs Mobius C, Night Video sample (Parked)

The Ausdom AD118 is a basic dash cam that is fairly easy to use.    The day video is pretty good, night video nothing to brag about, and somewhat typical of lower end dash cams.   For many new users of dash cams, the AD118 is probably adequate.      
It comes with two mounting options, the normal suction cup type mount, as well as an adhesive tape backed mounting plate.    The lens is adjustable up/down with a knob that has sufficient tension to keep the desired postion.  (Some cams have a 'ratcheting' type adjustment, this does not)

'Motion Detection' on the  AD118 is virtually worthless.   I tried it for a few minutes while parked.   The cam just repeatedly created small recordings, although there was no movement visible, anywhere.

'Motion Detection' on most cams doesn't work well, period.  One exception was the Papago! GS 110, which I tested.    It worked very well in motion detection mode, and had better night video.
For truckers, this is a real benefit for protection of your parked truck for somewhat extended periods.    The Papago! GS110 is in the same price range (when discounted) as the AD118, and comes equipped with a capacitor, instead of a battery as well.

I'd look at the GS110 if you are shopping for a basic 'big truck' dash cam, as well.

The Mobius action/Dash cam?    This little cam has a loyal and large following, and is reliable.
This is another cam in this price class that is worth  considering.   The Mobius in the video in this blog post is a C3 version, equipped with capacitor kit.  Small, reliable, and discrete.

There are a lot of nice dash cams out there, some are very good values.   None are for sale at your local truck stop!   Do your homework, and you'll get a better deal, and a better cam.
