Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Used many cameras for over a decade on my family's 6 cars and some that I've gotten rid of. I'm pretty experienced with these, so take my review for what you think it's worth. This camera is really worth having. It looks nice. Very easy to setup. Not as many options as BlackVues or ThinkWares, but the price is about 1/8 of those cameras. And, as long as you have the video to show the police that you were in the right, those other features don't matter. The problem with cameras are that they are consumable. They last only a few years. The one exception to this is the old Garmins. My nephew has two that are on a car I gave him and are still working after about 8 years. Because they only last a few years, wiring is important. You want to be able to replace cameras without replacing wiring. This one uses a micro USB cable which is pretty common in a rear camera--not so much as the main front camera. Another thing to be aware of in the long run. Now, about this camera. The password is a little tricky. You have to register the camera from your phone app, and you have 60 seconds to register the password. My phone was too slow to get the email in 60 seconds. I requested the password from my phone, and had the email in 10 seconds when using my desktop. Problem solved. Wiring is pretty basic. A micro usb cable to a a USB power supply that plugs into a lighter socket. I made something nicer by tapping into the fuzebox so it cant be seen. Easy enough with an "add-a-circuit' tap. Available on Amazon, just make sure you know what fuze size your car us using.. Setup is easy on the phone app. Even your dumb brother-in-law could do it. The camera has event recording from G-sensors (which can be adjusted) that will lock a segment so it wont be overwritten. The recording options arent as great as ThinkWare or BlackVue, but for several hundred less per camera, I am fine with it. It has enough. So overall, this is a 5-star device. Dirt cheap. Enough recording options to do the job you need. Several hundreds of dollars less than the premium cameras. I don't notice any difference in picture quality. If you want recording to show you werent at fault, this will do it. If you want more flexible recording options, buy a BlackVue and pay several hundred more. The most important thing is actually having the event documented. This does it.
