    I am really impressed on how reliable this setup has been on our Minivan. Video quality at both day and night is probably the best i have seen at this price point. i also highly recommend getting professionally installed by Geek Squad. They concealed the wiring so well, and the parking mode recording works flawlessly!

    Great dash cam, records both frontal and rear part of the vehicle. On hot days where it reaches 95F the camera worked fine and there wasn’t any problems with it. I’ve been using it for a while and I really like how it flags the bumps in case it was a accident.

    I waited for this dash cam to go on sale before I bought it. I’m so pleased with it. Didn’t come with gps antenna had to buy one for $40. I paid less for the dash cam and the gps on sale then it was for regular price.

    The sensitivity is very good, the shooting is clear, and there is a parking video recording mode, which is very practical. My friend bought one and I thought it was very good, so I bought it here

    Good camera over all. Easy to install as long as you purchase the item that hooks up to your obd. And make sure to update the software on there website so your battery doesn’t drain. Clarity could be better but I have yet to see one as clear as a go pro or a 2k item. Purchase thinkware to plug into obd so no hard wire needed. I would recommend it. 2k on each camera.there are options to save battery as well. Records separate front and back camera when driving or car is hit

    Camera is constructed very well. The ips screen is bright and detailed. Reviewing footage captured looks great and clean. Giving 4 stars however as the camera is extremly sensitive to bumps and will cause the camera to switch recording from continuous to incident. Also, camera overheats and shuts down on extremly hot/humid days even with A/C on. Not sure if moving camera to a different location would help on one or both of these issues but am going to see. Other than that no other problems and overall enjoy using the camera and having for the unfortunate time of a incident.

    There's a lot of choices in dashcams out there and for the price this is decent. It allows you to go through the menu to setup and make adjustments on the screen. Good options and way easier to setup and adjust than most of the cheap dashcams. Great having front and rear views and recordings. The parking mode works well too.

    Good quality easy install. My first dash cam. My only issue so far is that the cords plug in on top, against the headliner of my truck. It can be difficult to plug them in. In the big picture I shouldn't need to remove it too often.

    Good dash cam, but not enough compared to others this dash cam has to be hardwired to the car and no GPS included kind of difficult for a hybrid really like the dash cam. My older version has GPS and regular 12v plug very easy to setup.

    * The dash csm is nice but lacks GPS unit. * The resolution is not 4K (front or rear). * Touchscreen is good but cannot delete recorded files from the screen. Files can only be deleted on the computer. No owner manule is provided.

    Great Dashcam for the money

    I did the installation myself, I hardwired the camera to my iVolt External Battery so I can have parking mode without draining the vehicle's battery. Install was a breeze I'm glad I did it myself versus a professional install so I saved some money there, the hardest part of the installation was hiding all the wires, overall the front and rear camera work really well they capture license plates and the night vision 3.0 is awesome, I also purchased the filter lens, GPS, and the Radar Unit which allows you to extend parking surveillance for up to 4 days. The only con of this camera is I wish they would have just included the GPS and radar module built into the camera system itself, so be prepared to spend a little more money if you're opting for my setup just a warning on that, it all depends what you are looking to do with your setup.

    Good quality video being recorded front and rear. I have hardwired it into my vehicle. Do not use Bestbuy install service, since they put the wire to interfere the airbag. They claimed that it breaks when air bag is active, but in fact, that's only for thin wires used for smaller cameras. I had to re-install mine. The camera itself is very good.
