GT680W is small, compact dash camera, which is based on popular combination of Novatek NT96650 CPU, Aptina AR0330 CMOS sensor, 6G glass lens, etc. Has an option of using an external GPS module. Records 1080p / 30Fps at average 15Mbps bit-rate, good night- and day video recording, wide FOV ( field of view ) and also some extra interesting features / options that you will find from my review.

From the list of main features which are mostly became standard on many recent dash cameras I want to point of few interesting features that are applied to GT680W ( GPS antenna required ).

GPS Screensaver

- If this option is enabled from menu settings, after 1 or 3 min LCD screen goes into "standby" mode and displays on the screen car speed and digital compass. Data is taken from GPS satellites.

GPS Over Speed Warning

- You can chose between 60, 80, 100 kmph values. When you drive faster than chosen value, - dash camera will warn driver about that.

Platenubmer stamp ( numberplate stamp )

- You can enter up to 8 digits of your car reg or any other word, so it will be displayed on video. This is good feature for some company who has fleet of vehicles ( taxies, truck drivers, buses, etc )

Fatigue driving warning

- For long distance driving you can set warning message that will notify you after 2 or 4 hours constant driving, so driver can take a rest.

Image rotation

- You can rotate video recording 180 degree. Another words, you can attach GT680W to dash ( upside down ) and by setting image rotate ption, video will be recorded correctly.
