    **Escort M2 Dashcam Review** The Escort M2 dashcam is an impressive addition to the market, offering a blend of advanced features, solid performance, and ease of use. After using it for several months, here’s my detailed review: **Design and Build Quality** The Escort M2 dashcam sports a sleek and modern design that fits seamlessly into any vehicle interior. Its compact size ensures that it doesn’t obstruct the driver’s view. The materials used feel premium and durable, suggesting longevity and resilience to daily use. **Video Quality** Video quality is where the Escort M2 truly shines. It captures footage in ultra-clear 1440p resolution, delivering sharp and detailed images. During daylight, the colors are vivid, and the clarity is exceptional. Nighttime recording is equally impressive, with minimal noise and good visibility thanks to its advanced low-light sensor and wide dynamic range (WDR) technology. The wide-angle lens covers a broad field of view, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the road ahead and the surrounding environment. **Ease of Installation and Use** Setting up the Escort M2 is straightforward and hassle-free. The package includes all the necessary mounting hardware and a detailed instruction manual. The magnetic mount is a particularly nice touch, allowing for easy attachment and removal of the dashcam. The interface is intuitive, with a responsive touchscreen that makes navigating the menu and adjusting settings a breeze. **Features** The Escort M2 is packed with an array of useful features. It includes a G-sensor that automatically locks and saves footage in the event of a collision, ensuring vital evidence is preserved. The loop recording feature means you never have to worry about running out of storage, as the oldest files are overwritten when the memory is full. It also supports microSD cards up to 128GB, providing ample storage for your recordings. The built-in GPS tracks your route and speed, which can be crucial for reviewing incidents or for insurance purposes. **App and Connectivity** One of the standout features of the Escort M2 is its seamless connectivity. The integrated Wi-Fi allows for quick and easy transfer of footage to your smartphone via the Escort app. The app itself is user-friendly, making it simple to view, download, and share recordings. Additionally, the app provides live view and configuration options, adding to the convenience. **Price and Value** While the Escort M2 is positioned at a higher price point compared to some budget alternatives, the range of features and the quality it offers make it a worthwhile investment. The enhanced video quality, reliable performance, and user-friendly experience justify the cost, making it a valuable addition to any vehicle for those prioritizing safety and security. **Conclusion** In summary, the Escort M2 dashcam is a top-tier device that combines exceptional video quality with a host of advanced features. Its ease of use, reliable performance, and comprehensive coverage make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their driving safety. Whether you need a dependable witness for insurance purposes or want to document your travels, the Escort M2 is a highly recommended

    Bought this with a bundle deal on a max 360 mark II. The fact that is has the same power source makes it super convenient, saves space on the windshield and $$. The app is a bit glitchy but you can just pop the micro sd card in your computer. The quality of the video is good it is a good value if its on sale.

    I like how the cam mounts to my Escort 360c and shares 1 power source and main mount. It is a clean look. The camera seems to perform well with minimal effort. Picture quality seems good day and night. I also like that the cam will display date, time, gps coordinates, and speed at the bottom of the recording. I actually had to use my dash cam today due to a minor accident and it worked exactly how I hoped it would.

    Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. I wasn’t necessarily looking for a dash cam when I purchased my redline360c radar detector. But after seeing this would attach using the same cord and mount, it was a no brainer for me. I didn’t realize how important it was to have a dash cam until I owned this. Super easy to install, took me about 5-10 min. I really enjoy using the app for both applications. The only downside is it takes a few min for it to connect to the videos gallery via app so just be patient. I also upgraded to a 128gb Transcend High Endurance micro SD card off amazon and now this thing can hold videos for days. Lastly, I love how easy it is to remove from my windshield and just put it in my escort carrying bag. Super convenient!

    I feel the camera works great and captures recordings well of your travels. The bracket works well with my Escort detector, and which is one of the reasons I chose this unit. Unfortunately, a byproduct of the hookup is the detector is no longer easy to disengage from the magnetic mount and stow. You have to unplug the detector from the camera now to stow the detector. The only other issue was that the software that is mated with the unit lacks good documentation on its use. The minimal instructions with the camera were not very clear. I think a little more information could have been provided. Overall, good camera and I would recommend the camera especially if you own an Escort detector.

    A good addition to the escort radar detector and works with the drive smarter app BUT the recording quality is abysmal especially when in motion. It can capture license plates only when very close and even then the image is blurry and pixelated. Would be nice if there was an option to change the bitrate to increase video quality.

    $200 Piece of Plastic- Simply Awful

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I very rarely write reviews- I'll typically only write a review if an item far exceeded my expectations or if an item is so bad that I feel like I have an obligation to warn fellow shoppers. Unfortunately, the Escort-M2 falls into the latter scenario. This dash cam (for me, at least) is 100% unusable. For $200 I would expect a dash cam that is at or near the "top of the list" compared to other dash cams in terms of features, connectivity, support, and so on... Personally, I'm surprised they even decided to put this thing out on the market- it's that bad! It legit will not connect to the Drive Smarter app and since there's no physical screen on the dash cam it means there's no way to view any videos or adjust any settings. I tried to connect it for over an hour and it didn't connect once, so I gave up and decided to try again later. Several hours later I tried again for 45min and again, it didn't connect a single time... I tried to contact Escort for support but I couldn't get through and the phone would just disconnect. This is the product and support that you provide for a $200 dash cam? For $200 you'd expect a product that allows you to set it up, access your videos, adjust settings, access support, & so on... But, this Escort dash cam doesn't even warrant a price tag of $20 (and that's not an exaggeration). There are several other dash cams on the market for significantly less money that will actually do what they say. If I were Best Buy I would stop selling this product until they make it functional, because as it stands now it's just a $200 piece of plastic and, to make matters worse, Escort provides no support... Needless to say, this thing will be returned tomorrow. FYI- I have an iPhone 13 Pro w/ the most recent iOS software and the most recent Drive Smarter app downloaded. Maybe you'll have a better/different experience with a different phone, but I doubt it considering I'm using the new iPhone.

    I have had this for over a year and have not had any issues with it. It's a little confusing at first to sort out if the app is talking to the camera or the radar detector but it become more obvious after using it awhile. The moount is good and everything works fine with it.
