Thankfully after a difficult installation it works quite well... could be betterReviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
I have replaced dash cams only as technology improved and this just happens to be my third dash cam.Pros:It works quite wellResolution is one step better than my previous camCons:With higher resolution maybe I expected too much of an improvement in the video quality/detail, but it wasn't as significant as I hoped.Installation was FAR more difficult than previous dash cam.The thickness of the wires was 100% more than my two previous dash cams (not VanTrue cams) which led to a number of issues:1. MUCH harder to "hide" the wires behind panels, some of which cannot be fully secured due to wire thickness.2. Thick wires not very flexible so no tight corners as I had before.3. My SUV has a tilt up rear hatch with a roll-down window. To prevent the rear cam from getting in the way of loading/unloading the vehicle (we go camping a LOT), the rear cam had to be installed ON the tailgate. This means the wiring must flex easily when opening/closing the rear hatch, but with very thick wiring it was necessary to make a double-coil to allow for a full flex.Even with the double-coil there was enough tension in the wires the rear cam would not stay aimed correctly. It took a lot of trial-and-error before getting it aimed correctly and stay in place long enough for me to permanently glue the cam in place. Part of the problem was if any of the rear defogger elements were in the "peripheral vision" of the camera, it would not focus. (Not a problem on previous cams)
