Compact, easy-to-use, and better than we thought it'd be!Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018
We’ve been using the camera for about 2-3 weeks now, and are quite impressed with it so far. When we googled around looking to see what reviews and ratings were posted, this one popped up on our search and was well recommended, and so with that and the price that we got it for, we decided to take the plunge and put it to the test. There's a few cons that we found, but nothing that can't be overlooked, especially when comparing it to other cameras on the market!Pros:- Fairly compact- Mounts securely and is fully adjustable- With the exception of the mini sd card formatting, it' pretty much plug and play deal unless you want to customize settings with exceptional- Came with quick start guide which is bonus- Minimal controls and buttons (so less confusion while on the go)- Really wide view so you can see traffic on right and left lanes at same time- Resolution is pretty good, and you can clearly see license plate of the car in front of you. If 4 car lengths ahead however, you can’t make out the license plate, but everything else is clear- There is a button on top of the camera, that's easy to reach, allowing you to take a quick snapshot- Camera continues to record for period of time after the car is shut off,- Has a g sensor designed to activate during collisions or events. These videos/images and can’t be recorded over after, as they're saved in separate folder (apart from the regular recordings). This is good so that you can be sure that the data is safe, but bad in that you have to manually delete these.- Option of having audio on and off easily- Option of pausing recording (in case you don't want something to be recorded), and this will start recording as usual again (automatically) when the car is restartedCons:- The plug that connects into camera by mount should be on right side (passenger side) and not left as we'd prefer to not run the cord on the driver's side.. .. .. but this would be a plus for non-us drivers- Cord is of generous length, but for mid-size and some larger vehicles, it would be a stretch to run this along perimeter and of the car and to the receptacle- Formatting card is difficult at first, as you can't format the card with the camera, and we learned the hard way (after taking off on a trip that we really wanted to use the camera on), that Windows 10 doesn't format the card to FAT32 either. After searching on the internet, we had to download a (free) program, so that the card could be properly formatted. Worked like a charm after, but we were a bit annoyed at first. Additionally, the quick start guide didn't mention that we couldn't format the card in the device (or at least we didn't see this in there), so we had to wait until we got back from the trip to read the bigger manual, as we didn't take that with us on vacation either!Instruction booklet although comprehensive, print was tiny- It would be nice if we could charge battery longer, so that we can use the camera without it being plugged in- Would be nice if this had a rear view, but I think that's available in a later version- The camera ball mount allows you to adjust and screw to tighten the camera, but even if it's at its tightest, and you push the button to take a still image, but easily loosens
