High quality recording with plenty of options and added extras, the dash cam arrived in a nice custom made black box with a Junsun sleeve, the main camera at the top of the box protected by a foam cut out and all the listed contents under this including the 16gig micro SD memory card which is something most cameras don’t come with.
After I had opened it all up I had a good read through the manual, I found the manual to be very clear text and had supporting images with labels to identify all the buttons and functions on the camera, after setting it up indoors and going through the menu getting familiar with the settings and features I fitted it into the car, it comes with a suction fitting for the window that screws into the top of the camera with a locking system that is a very secure fit to the screen.
The rear camera plugs into the top of the camera and you need to run the cable to the rear of the car, I set it up on the top of the rear screen to the left corner, I was pleased to see it captured the full road behind from that point, the rear camera gives a in picture smaller screen on the main screen of the camera but the storing of the recordings is separated on the memory card in their own folders called ‘F’ and ‘R’ to indicate front and rear camera and each recording corresponds to the rear recording for example FILE180130-082234F.MOV and FILE180130-082234R.MOV which makes matching the recordings very simple.
The first thing I did on starting it up was to go through the LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System) calibration clearly explained in the manual, this can be turned on and off in the menu as can the FCDS (Forward Collision Detection System), both give verbal warnings when you are either too close to the car in front or drift out of lane. Once this was set up I went for a drive to test it out, I was very pleased with the recording quality which I found to be crystal clear on both of the highest level settings and although lower quality recording levels are available I can’t see any point or need to use them as the camera has a loop recording feature so you won't need to keep changing the card or deleting it's contents.
I was really pleased with the quality of the rear view camera capture and tested out the G-Sensor mode with a bit of sharp braking and this worked how it should as did the parking monitoring and motion detection putting the files in separate folders on the memory card which is also a nice helpful feature and you can view the clips using the mode button.
I have added a short video going through the menu system and giving day time and night time footage from both front and rear camera, my original video is of high quality but please be aware the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded.
