Great camera but cannot handle temperatureReviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
Very customizable, has a shock sensor in case someone hits your car unattended, has motion detection which works perfectly, and video quality inside and from the rear is excellent day or night and front cam is just as good. Love the three way footage, audio recording, and night vision as it’s good for much more than collision. Can record theft, potential thieves, hit and runs, etc. Sony components on camera. Like that it can be hardwired for continuous usage a must in my opinion would strongly recommend it. I don’t seem to have issues with the mount either it’s stuck on firm on my tinted windshield since day one unlike some other reviews. My absolute biggest complaint is the display screen completely blacks out and the unit gets extremely hot when parked in direct sun. At first I though humidity was the issue but it seems to be heat itself. After driving a while the black fades away and the display returns but it has colored lines and/or gritty display. Actually recorded footage doesn’t seem effected but this is extremely annoying and complaint worthy given the price point. I went with this model for the excellent features, company, and reviews here on online. I’ve seen dashcam footage from the Middle East to Russia. I live in the Midwest, and though I have a dark colored car and it’s summer I can’t believe for this price point a dashcam has such issues in relatively moderate temperature compared to other regions and when a dashcam’s sole place is in a vehicle windshield with varying temperature exposures. It should be designed better to handle temperature and as mentioned footage seems unaffected it’s just the display but this could potentially cause issues if you need to show the footage for legal/accident purposes and have no way of reviewing it via the memory card. As a plus, I have been in contact several times with the seller and they have replied promptly and courteously and have offer varied solutions but the problem persists. As of now, I could only recommend this if you live in very solid and temperate area not too hot or cold maybe California or such; or cover your windshield or park in shard constantly which defeats its purpose or isn’t always possible.
