The camera arrived in a nice branded box with a flip lid, everything was well packed and protected with plastic removable covers on the front and back screens. It comes with a nice glass display screen rather than the plastic ones on a lot of dash cams, it has a big solid lens on the front and the whole thing is finished in what I would describe as a brushed steel finish which looks very nice.
I gave the manual a good read through and then went on to set it up, it has a multitude of options and some settings depend on the preferences you have such as having the screen on all the time or having it auto switch off, the resolution you want it to record at, motion sensor on or off, G-Sensor sensitivity, if you want to put your car registration number in and loads more.
The camera has a suction fitting with a wind in screw to the top of the camera and the suction fitting has a locking arm and is very sold giving a good secure fit, it comes with a cigarette adaptor for the power long enough to conceal round the edge of your screen and dashboard if this is the way you choose to fit it and the end that plugs into the camera is angled to take the lead wire away to the side of the camera.
This camera comes with a HDMI out socket, this is requires a Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable (not supplied) and allows you to view footage from the camera on and screen that takes a HDMI lead such as TV or computer monitor, you can also set up the menu this way if you want to and in my video recording I have put the menu on my computer screen to show this and recorded it from there.
The record quality is really good both day and night capturing everything both sides of the road including all the side roads and paths, I have grabbed a couple of screen shot which give a better idea of the quality and I will be uploading these along with some additional pictures to the review, I tested the G-sensor function with some hard breaking which also worked very well and tested the parking monitor by rocking the car and that kicked in working as it should.
I have added a video showing going through the menu system and some footage of day and night time driving to show the road coverage but you should be aware that video quality degrades considerably when uploaded.
What I liked
**************
- Looks great with a brushed metal finish
- Good solid fitting system
- Very clear and easy to follow manual
- Easy to navigate menu system
- A mass of different options and features
- Very high quality footage
- G-sensor works very well and is adjustable
- Good clear glass display screen
- HDMI output socket (mini to normal HDMI lead needed)
- Wide angle 170 degree recording
What I Didn’t Like
*********************
More something I would have liked than a dislike.
- I would have liked to have seen the addition of some USB ports on the cigarette lighter attachment.
Summary
***********
Overall this is a very nice dash cam with very high quality capture giving you loads of features and functions, the glass screen gives a very nice and clear display and with the wide angle 170 degree recording you can fit this any place you want to on the screen and it will still capture everything. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
