You have to love simple, plug and play devices.
Love them even more, when they deliver what they advertise.
Very nicely presented, this kit comes fully loaded. It even features a hardwire kit (12V to 5V step-down) and a fuse splitter, meaning that provided you can find an ignition supply fuse in your board, you can fit this in an hour easily. – I’d recommend using a 10A fuse if you can find one.
It also has the more traditional cigarette lighter male end connector, thoughtfully fitted with two spare USB slots for phone charging etc.
Fixing to the dash is simple. There are two supplied methods: A suction cup with full articulation and a sticky pad connector. You can fit this cam pretty much anywhere, as it has a 170 degree viewing angle. I chose to fit mine behind the rear view mirror.
The camera itself is feature packed with an array of adjustable settings. The menu’s are intuitive and the button pushes are precise. The GPS is automatically enabled and requires no setup, other than plugging it into the camera and sticking it on the dash.
I was curious as to why all the camera sockets were in the top of it, meaning the wires trail over it, then down, but I realised it’s because of the hardwire option. By plugging in to the top, the wires can all but be hidden in the roof/windscreen seals and run behind the dash. – There’s plenty of length.
There’s very little to worry about with this camera. It self actuates when the power is on and switches off just after you do. Just add a decent micro usb card and you’re good to go. -From box to recording can be accomplished in under 5 minutes. You don’t even need to worry about saving those important clips either. The system will overwrite if the disk is full, but any accident involving a bump will trigger the g-shock system (if active) and automatically lock the relevant video. You can also lock a video manually with a simple button push if you are witness to an event you’re not involved in.
I tested this in high def, low def and at night and it performed beautifully. The footage was crisp and clear, but sadly, uploading it to here reduces the quality and doesn’t do it justice I’m afraid.
Overall, the simplicity of the set up, coupled with the myriad of accessories and camera features makes this an excellent buy. The hardwire kits aren’t cheap to buy as a standalone and this has one as standard.
Brilliant.
