Gator DVR Car Recorder Camera DVR308

Here is a warning about the Gator DVR Car Recorder Camera DVR308 that Supercheap Auto as selling in Australia.

  • The picture quality of the video is grainy, this is not a serious problem as it’s good enough to see what is happening in the picture.Screen Grab from Video
  • Video files are broken into 15min files, a program like VirtualDub can join these files with little problem. (Join AVI files with VirtualDub)
  • The big problem is the quality of the suction cup and it’s mechanism, the plastic is heat sensitive and will deform if left in your car. The spring is strong enough for the suction cup to cause it to deform the plastic while installed in a hot car. In Australia cars get hot inside the mount just doesn’t cope.
    Heat Dent

    Dent from spring pressure and Heat

    Gator Platic Melt

    Plastic has melted around base

  • The spring loaded clip has a seam in the plastic at the hinge this breaks if you keep removing it from a surface. (Design flaw)seam

I would advise people to get something better than this camera.

Fuji Xerox WorkCentre 4250

The default username and password for the Xerox WorkCentre 4250 is as follows:

Username: admin
Password: 1111

When accessing the web interface of the Xerox WorkCentre 4250 Default if you attempt to change any settings you will be prompted for this username and password. The default that the copier is set to is in my experience not clearly identified in the manual.

When accessing the administrator menus on the copier the code 1111 is used.

It’s time to update Messenger to Skype!

When Microsoft purchased Skype it was pretty obvious that Messenger was probably going to either be merged, or disapear. This ancouncment from Microsoft spells then end of messenger.

Hello,

We are retiring the existing Messenger service globally (except for mainland China where Messenger will continue to be available) and bringing the great features of Messenger and Skype together. Update to Skype and sign in using a Microsoft Account (same as your Messenger ID) and all your Messenger contacts will be at your fingertips. You’ll be able to instant message and video chat with them just like before, and also discover new ways of staying in touch with Skype on your mobile and tablet.

Update Now
Yours sincerely,
The Messenger Team
