The baleful eye of truthReviewed in Canada on July 28, 2019
A dash cam is needed protection these days. It is the baleful eye of truth. This one is satisfyingly tiny, producing very little intrusion into the driver's field of view — although there is some; on my car it could not be mounted high enough to be fully hidden behind the rear view mirror, because the GPS mount pokes upward when it's rotated to secure the suction cup. You have to leave room for that below the windshield header, so the camera ends up slightly lower than the mirror. If you're short like me you see it, but only just.Yet seeing a bit of the camera is a small compromise of neatness in exchange for the security of having this thing on guard in case you ever have to prove who did what, what color the light was, etc. It produces amazingly clear, crisp videos with a very good full-width view. The GPS mount, which is just $30 extra, is essential, I'd say – with the GPS option, video clips display the vehicle speed, to help police evaluate any eye-witless accounts of whatever transpired, should the need arise.Note: The supplied power cable is just 10 feet long. That's plenty if you're going to run it along the header, down behind the A-pillar, under the dash and then have it emerge from under there and stay in view plugged into a front-facing 12 volt socket. But I wanted the wire to just vanish completely, so I kept it running out of sight past the shotgun seat and into the centre console compartment, where there's another 12V socket. For that, 10 feet was just exactly enough in my car. For some vehicles a pathway like that might require a longer cable, so it's a good idea to measure your planned cable path before ordering one of these gizmos. Other than that, no worries at all. Setup is intuitive and the documentation is pretty clear, despite some odd language caused by inexpert translation from the original Chinese. I cannot speak to the device's long-term durability, but it seems solid and hefty, and I found no fault with it right out of the box.
