So far so good, even parking mode in cityReviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018
Long review, tl;dr: live in city, use parking mode with power bank - works great. Standard operation while driving works great, good resolution, even better if you don't use rear camera. Front camera shows essentially 180 degrees; Rear camera shows all windows. Night recordings better than anticipated. All in all very happy for $200.Full Review:Been using the camera for a week or two. I use a 20,000 mah power bank/battery (like $25 amazon) that supports pass-through charging so I can charge the battery while driving and using the camera. The power bank usually need a few hours to fully charge, so I've been charging it at work.Normal usage is great - the camera records in 3 minute (adjustable) intervals, which are saved under a 'Normal' folder. If you hit the 'snapshot' button it saves footage from before and after you hit the button - I'm not sure but I think it saves the 'current' recording interval and the next one. Any footage from the snapshot button, or G Sensor (recognizes impacts) is automatically saved to an 'Event' folder, which is not overwritten via standard operation (only overwrites when too many 'events' are saved I believe).Parking Mode is automatic when enabled. So in my case, as long as the camera's plugged into the power bank, Parking Mode turns on when I ... am parked. I think it kicks in a few minutes after being stationary. Motion Sensor can be kind of slow - I tested last night by walking in front of my car and waving, but it only captured me walking away. But quick enough to catch anything other than someone briskly walking by. Quicker with cars than people, as expected. Confident that if someone were to hit me or anything, Parking Mode will certainly be sufficient. Note: YOU NEED A POWER BANK FOR PARKING MODE. Online forums suggest not using car battery since they are designed for quick large surges (ie starting car), not constant slow drain. Power banks are easy enough... I use 20,000 mah and on a city street last night captured tons of footage, and I still have 3/4 'charge' left on the power bank. Parking mode records both cameras, which is great because I can see out of all 4 door windows, rear window, and front whenever the motion sensor kicks in.All in all I'm happy with the camera. I bought this because in the past 3 years I've had 3 cars hit in the city (2 at night while parked) and 2 of them have been totaled. A couple were hit and runs. 100% would've been able to find the people responsible if I bought this a while back. Makes me feel much safer in a city with horrible drivers coughbaltimorecough.
