Great dash cam with clear pictures and many featuresReviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019
This dash cam would be great for people driving rideshare services like uber or lyft because it can record from both front and rear camera which means it will record what's going on in front of your car, but also what's going on inside your car.Of course you have to disclose this to your passenger first to make sure they agree. This features can be turned off otherwise, but can be a good evidence if your passenger is messing your car, throwing up, and just being rude to you, etc2.In my use case, I only use the front facing camera however since I don't do the rideshare, but I can imagine how useful it will be if I decide to start doing rideshare in the future.On to the camera itself, the camera has a solid build, with a drable looking casing. I've accidentally dropped this camera when trying to install it, but as you can see in the picture, there is no crack on the screen or the camera lens. Setting up is very easy, if you want, you can do plug and play no problem, but I recommend checking the date settings to make sure the date is correct, and make sure you are using the pixel recording setting that you want.There are multiple recording settings, but the most usefu for me is 1920x1080@60fps.This dash cam actually can record at 2560x1440p but only at 30fps. And for recording, higher fps is actually important to make sure you can read license plates in case you got into accidents and other issues.In the posted video, you'll see that you can still see the license plate of the car passing by from my left. I've tried using the 1440p@30fps, and although the picture is clearer, the license plate get blurred because of the speed. so I would recommend people also using the 60fps at least.The downside of this camera is that if you're using dual front and rear facing camera, you will be stuck with 30fps which can be a problem, but at the same time, recording 1080p@60fps from both camera will require very high write speed which is possible, but be prepared to spend even more than what you would spend on this camera.The suction cup is a standard suction cup that will get weak when exposed to high temperature when your car is baked under the sun. I've seen the suction cup gave up when the outside temperature hits 90+F so know that this might happen. So if it's hot outside, I usually take off the dashcam off the suction cup so at least the camera wouldn't drop, then when I get back into the car, re-attach the suction cup to make sure it has good grip, and then re-attach the dashcam.The dashcam doesn't have internal battery unfortunately, so even though the camera has a built-in parking mode feature, I don't believe it will activate unless you connect an external power supply to ensure that even when your car is turned off, it can record in parking mode. But the plus is since it has small battery, it can withstand higher temperature in your car.TLDR,+ has dual camera (front and rear facing)+ can record 1080p @60fps+ has parking mode+ high temperature tolerance+ solid build- when in dual camera can only record at 30fps- small battery only for storing settings, so parking mode requires external power supply
