Read the reviews of the 1 stars, and then read mine.Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018
This Dash Cam is decent for the money. I did a lot of research before I considered to buy this one, I first bought a 50 dollar crap one that lasted 3 weeks. I have to say I didn't buy this one from here, I bought it from an ehh deal. I have to say though I use it a lot as I drive for a living. Here is some tips and common concerns.1. This is battery operated however, you will get about 5 mins of run time, it has to constantly be plugged in for those saying they charged it for 2 hours hoping it would work. Also they sell a wire harness adapter kit, up to you to get if you want park monitoring.(plugs into the fuse box on your car) Also, watch the temperature outside, as since it is a li-ion battery it can be damaged by extreme cold or hot weather.2. The picture/video quality is great, however for those using older FIRMWARES(as of date Version 21) strongly urge you to upgrade to the newest version. This is on Vantrue's website, and they are always there to help, emails seem to be fastest way to get help. The older versions had shuttering issues that I experienced.3. Mount issue, I had one of the first models of this camera, my mount holding the camera suffered from the sun and caused it to be very loose, this is a known issue I guess because after 1 email asking what I should do, they asked for my address and sent me a new version of the mount in 4 days.4. Also again, read the 1 star ratings on this, you will see how they typed them, imagine how much effort they put into technical gadgets when they put such little effort into their 1 star reviews. Do you think they did any research? Do you believe they even read the instruction manual? Do you wonder if they were dropped as children? These are all very concerning questions.5. If you are looking for a dash camera that takes clear video inside and out, this is currently the best one in the under $300 range.
