Simple setup with great performance.Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019
I purchased this dash cam set to replace a front-only dash cam I currently have. So far I'm extremely satisfied with the performance of the camera and the video quality. The video quality is slightly improved from my previous cam from a few years ago. This one has a number of additional features including speed and GPS displayed on the video.The biggest benefit I've had with this particular camera is the mounting style. I've used a few previous dash cams that were mounted via suction and hung down. For many cars (mine included), though, the area that you would want to mount the front cam is behind the rear-view mirror. A suction won't stick in this location due to the sun-blocking paint there. This camera's mounting is done via sticky 3M pads, which allows it to be mounted there. Also, the streamlined design has the video screen integrated into the angled body of the camera. In short, it's a lot more compact than others I have used.PROs...-Ease of setup: Setup couldn't have been easier. I used a micro-SD card that I already had, and was able to re-format it within the dash cam's menu system. After that, the cam immediately worked as expected.-Adjustable lens angle: My previous cam had the lens fixed with the body of the cam. To adjust it, the entire camera had to be moved. This front cam has a fully pivoting lens to allow the lens to be adjusted separately from the body.-Simple menu setup: I found the menus to be very straight-forward.-Lit up buttons: My previous cam had a similar set of buttons, but they were smaller and located on the sides. This front cam has the buttons in view and lit up, which is important if needed to lock an even video quickly.CONs:-Cords coming out of left side: This may just be my preference, but the power/rear cords come out the left side of the camera body. Since I have them run toward the passenger seat, they have to curl over. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer them on the other side.-Multi-use buttons: The front cam has a set of 5 buttons for navigating through the menus. Depending on which menu or mode you're in, the meaning of the buttons can change. They are shown on the screen (a positive), but it takes a while to get use to them without looking each time.
