How can I confirm this?

I have my 9500ix on the passenger side of the mirror (above it) and the Blackvue on the driver side of the mirror (also above it). This way, both are fairly hidden from external view. I chose not to use the Passport mirror mount as it leaves it in plain view and draws a bit of attention.

Will post some as soon as I can. I just changed all the settings yesterday and got it a 32GB memory card, so hopefully I get something to show soon. Unfortunately, I work early and don't arrive home until after dark, so I won't have any daylight driving until this weekend. I could throw up some parking mode clips though. As for the wifi feature, it allows you to configure the camera, view existing clips on the camera's memory card, or watch the video output in realtime.
Originally, the 1920x1080 resolution seemed like it had quite a bit of video compression going on, so I switched it from high to normal. We'll see what change that had on the video output when I get home tonight.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I've had the camera running all weekend in park mode as well as normal, and this new design does not appear to have any overheating issues. It does get warm, but nothing that you wouldn't expect from any other solid-state electronic device that is always on. Seems that the larger enclosure and the double-vented design is a winner here.
