Great quality video capture with some really nice features, this is for my wife’s car for keeping an eye on the baby in the back seat, she is just coming up to two years old and has started trying to unlock her child safety seat so my wife asked if I could get her a camera that would also help her keep an eye on the baby while driving without turning round all the time or moving the rear view mirror, this seemed ideal.
It arrived in a white branded box with the camera packed to the side in a plastic pack and all the lenses having removable protectors, the main box contained the manual, cigarette charge lead charge lead adapter, screen mount and a USB charge/transfer lead. The manual is very clear and detailed leading you through a step by step guide of setting it up and using the features and functions, it’s fully in English so no mixed language on the pages or struggling to find the English instructions.
I put a 16gb micro sd card in it, the camera has loop recording so once it is full it overwrites the oldest footage, I find 16gb more than enough for my needs and as it has a G-sensor feature any sudden jolt the segment recorded is automatically protected from being overwritten and I tested this with a bit of hard braking and it worked as it should protecting the recording.
I found the recording quality very clear both day and night, the car internal camera works really well giving a good clear view of the back seat and as it is movable it does not matter where you locate the camera you can still swivel it round to get the desired view. You can easily select the view you get on the camera with the right arrow button switching from road view with a window in window, just front camera or just rear camera, this can be done while the camera is recording without interruption to the recording and no matter what view you select it will still record both front and rear if it’s selected in the menu.
The camera has a multitude of features and functions and with the wide angle lens it captures all of the road both sides including all the side roads and paths, I found the mount very stable once locked down and the camera also has an anti-shaking mode which should also avoid any shake in recording. The camera does have a port to add a GPS module so you are able to track location from the video although it does not recommend a compatible GPS unit and I am not sure if they are just standard or you need a specific one so have asked a question on this as I may want to add one in the future.
I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, going through the menu, day time recording also showing some of the in car recording although I have cropped this slightly so you don't have to view my ugly mug and night time recording, please note my original video is of high quality but the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded but hopefully not too much.
What I liked
*************
- Easy to follow manual all in English
- Great quality recording both day and night
- The in car camera is great quality even though it’s only 720p the record quality is great and very clear when displayed on the dash cam screen
- G-sensor works very well locking video footage from any impact or jolt
- Multitude of settings and features
- Wide angle recording capturing everything from any location on the windscreen
- Easy to navigate menu system
- The ability to switch the screen view by just pressing one button not interrupting recording
What I Didn’t Like
********************
More of a suggestion than a dislike as it does not advertise this feature
- The cigarette adapter is moulded I would have preferred a USB plugin to an adapter so you could use an alternative adapter with more ports,
Summary
**********
Overall a really great camera and my wife loves being able to keep a good eye on the baby without disruption, camera footage is crystal clear and has some great features so I have given it full marks. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
