Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought three of Viofo’s HD dash cams (NOT 4K) about nine months ago, and have been pretty happy with them. They work, they’ve captured some interesting incidents, and our family feels much better having them in place for daily commutes. We needed another camera for an additional vehicle, recently, so I decided to try this 4K version. The extra resolution seemed like it would be very helpful, as I had tried to see license plate numbers in videos from our HD cameras, and found them somewhat difficult to read. As soon as the 4K version arrived, I mounted it on my windshield next to the HD version for some direct side-by-side comparisons. The difference was incredible. This is one of those situations where you think you have decent picture quality, already, but the improved version just blows it away. See the attached frame captures and you’ll see what I mean. License plates that were fuzzy in HD are very crisp in 4K. License plates in the distance, that are unreadable in HD (can’t even count the number of digits!), are fuzzy in 4K - but READABLE. Check out the photo with the side-by-side comparison of the red truck. This is the key. It’s the difference between readable vs. non-readable. This is all subject to your personal preference, and your budget, but for me, 4K is well worth the difference in price. When I think about the possibility of one of my family members being in a situation where they desperately need a plate number, HD won't cut it. 4K is going to save the day.
