Good Camera for Dual 1080p (Terrible Cable)Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020
Pros: (A) 1080p resolution for front and rear facing camera. (B) Relatively easy swapping of MicroSD (for saving events). (C) Great field of view. Front is wider than interior. I reduced the interior exposure -1 stop so i could see what's outside; the default blows out the windows. (D) Nice "EVENTS" folder for locked (saved) videos. (E) Good interior gain in dark lighting. (F) In 2 months of driving, I had already captured TONS of craziness on the road and two red lights ran (by others). It will be priceless when I inevitably get in an another accident (it's just statistics!). I'm having fun collecting my week's worth of road craziness every weekend. (G) Relatively small. (H) Worth the price.Cons: (A) The power connection at the mount is extremely finicky. It may work fine for a week, but suddenly, it won't draw power. When this happens, it turns on and off every two seconds chiming on and off obnoxiously until I unplug the thing and drive all the way home without it. The GPS replacement mount did not fix this, so I deduct it's the charging cable. Losing power half the time means I'm not capturing footage half the time, and when I do, the time code on all my videos is always wrong because I don't reset it every time it this happens. The GPS mount fixed the timecode issue though. (B) Bright spots causes circular bokeh (a.k.a. glare), sometimes ring bokeh, giving the illusion that the camera is out of focus, even though the image is almost pixel sharp. Worst on shiny cars and at night. (C) Videos are recorded in 1-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute clips. When you save an event in a 3-minute clip (default) you often have to search 6 minutes for it (3 minute for the video it's in and 3 minutes for the video most nearly before or after it). Reducing to 1-minute clips helps, but for some reason it records 1 minute 1 sec, with a 1 sec overlap in videos, so simply merging sequential files will cause a 1 second echo every minute. (D) I'm going to have to buy a new sun shade. The one I have puts too much tension on the mount and pulls it off. (E) The power plug has a bright blue light on it that is distracting at night.Note: I prefer to have the rear-facing camera capturing the cars behind me at all times. The higher resolution front facing camera is great, but twice the file size (equal to the front + rear file size together), and it increases sharpness when sampled back down to 1080p.I'm getting a braided USB cable instead of a charging cable to see if the thicker cable delivers better power.
