Excellent dash cam with a few quirks.Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020
First off let me say that this was my first dash cam I have ever purchased. A friend of mine has one and I was amazed that dash cams were a thing so I decided to get one of these last prime day about a year ago. I have been very happy with my purchase. I drive around a lot for work and I am always the designated driver when I go out with the friends so this was something I wanted to buy to capture crazy drivers/people and so on.Pros: The video looks excellent in 1080p 60fps, but also in 1440p 30fps. I really don't need to use the inside camera however so I have never really used it for any reason so I can't comment on the quality. The power cable is easy to hide and route along the edges of the windshield and in car (use a flathead screwdriver to route). I am thinking of permanently attaching it to the car battery, but haven't gotten around to that journey yet. The suction mount is good and holds well. You CAN use Sandisk SD cards regardless of what the manual tells you. I have had a 128gb card in there for a year and I have had no problems with it. The screen is small on the unit, but it looks nice and gets the job done. I see people complaining that their units died within months? I have no idea what they are doing because I have had mine over a year now with no issues and my friend has had his for 2 years and it's going strong. Cheers Vantrue!Cons/Quirks:So there aren't as many cons about this camera as there are quirks.1.If you live in a warm climate area you may come outside to your vehicle and notice that the suction mount has come loose, this is normal. Just put it back up and it should be fine. Kind of a pain in the butt, but it has only happened to me on days where there were no clouds and it was 95 degrees out for the whole day.2. GPS is not built in to the unit itself. You have to purchase a separate unit that replaces the mount to get GPS. Good news, it's very cheap. Like 20 bucks cheap. Trust me it is worth it, EXAMPLE: I got a ticket for going 75 in a 65 and I used the speedometer on my dashcam to show the judge that I was going 65 and not what the officer said I was doing and got out of a ticket. I also used the dashcam footage to show police who was at fault for a wreck that happened in front of me as well. (I love this little dashcam)3. The display screen is small. I wish it were bigger and touchscreen.4. The menus aren't fun to move around and the buttons are in weird spots in my opinion.5. There is no internal battery that stays charged. what I do is I have a 20,000mah battery pack that I keep charged up in the glove compartment with a micro usb cable. It is a beast of a battery pack. When I leave the vehicle for the night I plug it up and put the camera in guard mode. It will ONLY come on during motion events. Good for thieves or people messing with your vehicle. The only other way for the camera to stay on overnight without the car running is wiring it to your car battery.
