Beautiful day and night time picture quality. Terrible Instruction Manual!Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019
****Had to give the cam 3 out of 5 stars due to the poor instruction manual.**** See UPDATE below. I was astounded by the beautiful day and night time picture quality. A key factor for me was the ability to clearly capture another car's license plate in the event of issue. This camera truly achieves this. I am currently using a 32 gb microSD High endurance card--so formatting is not necessary. To format 64gb to 256gb--they claim it is very easy (it is not!!!). For the price, this is the best dash cam that I have ever come across. I have been researching this topic for a while and the VanTrue N1 is the best camera at this price point. The high end, 4k models, do not appeal to me. Perhaps, if I was vlogging, it would be worth the investment. Note: I have not tested the Parking motion activated system yet. I plan on testing it this week by connecting the dash cam to a 20100 external battery pack. I figure that should be more than enough power when my car sits for 12 hours in a busy parking lot. The camera obviously does not stay on when the car is turned off due to its dependence on d/c electricity. One last pro--the camera screen goes dark after a minute or so when it is turned on. This is a really neat feature since an active screen could be potentially distracting and also, for privacy and security, no one that pulls next to you at a red light can tell that you are recording. Enough typing...buy the camera and enjoy.***UPDATE***I purchased a 128gb MicroSD card and to my dismay, the camera would not format it to FAT32. The manual says it will. Maybe they know something I do not. Note: Anything above 32gb will not work in this device without being formatted to FAT32. Unfortunately, Windows does provide us with software that will make the conversion. After a little research, I downloaded a free program called EaseUS partition Master and it was super easy. For a 128gb card, the cluster size to pick is 32kb. (64gb card--16 kb cluster. 256gb card--64kb cluster). I am using an external battery pack to record when I am not in the car. It has worked flawlessly. Overall, the dash cam is nice, but at the same time, I should not have to search the internet for a fix for their mistake.
