Maifang Full HD 1080P/720P In Car DVR Dash Cam Camera Review

Nice looking solid camera with high quality recording and a good display screen, this arrive in a large red, black and yellow stripped branded box with the camera packed in a foam cut out in a plastic sleeve and the additional leads and camera mounts in a separate black box, the cigarette lighter adapter has an additional USB port so it does not totally tie up the cigarette lighter and you can attach an additional USB device although I would have preferred the camera also connected to a USB port it is better than tying up the whole port.


After unpacking all the bits I had a read through the manual and then set it up indoors with a 3 pin plug to cigarette lighter adapter I have and just as a side note these are very handy devices if you have anything from the car you want to use indoors. The screen is a good size and nice and clear making it easy to navigate through the options using the menu select on the left of the camera and up and down buttons to cycle through the options then pressing the ‘OK’ button on the top right side of the camera to select, you can adjust and set a multitude of options depending on your needs.


I put a 8GB micro SD card in the camera although it will go to 32GB again it depends how much footage you wish to save, it has a loop recording feature again adjustable and this means it will overwrite the oldest footage once the memory card is full, it has a built in battery for emergency use such as park mode and setting up the menu while not connected, I often see people moan about the battery in dash cams not lasting very long, none of them do they need to be plugged in while in use the batteries are small to keep the size and weight down being for emergency use and park mode activation and being connected means the camera starts recording as soon as you start the car.


I was very pleased with the footage from this camera both day and night time driving, good and clear capturing the whole of both sides of the road including the paths and side roads it does not miss anything, you can place it virtually anywhere on the windscreen and it will still capture everything. The camera has a mini HDMI port in the top so you can plug it into a monitor or TV watching footage directly from the camera or even adjust the menu settings but you do need a lead as it’s not supplied.



I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking the camera, going through the menu, setting the date and time and formatting the micro SD card, driving during the day and driving at night, please note my original video is of high quality but the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded but hopefully not too much.


  • Extra USB port car charger and Luxury metal shell body: No worry there is no USB port to charge your phone, this new design charger will solve this problem. Metal shell body design prevent broken when falling or other impacts.
  • Full HD 1080p30fps: Video recording 1080p30fps/720p30fps/VGA30fps. Picture: Max to 12MP. Versatile Shooting Mode: video mode, photo mode, burst photo, time lapse, and loop recording .Different mode choices suitable for all your footage needs.
  • 3-Inch HD display+ 6G 170degree lens: Derectly view video and photos on dash camera, more convenience than without screen cameras. The 6+glass lens can shoot more details than the plastic lens. More clear and wide angle in both video and pictures.
  • WDR technology and night vision: WDR technology can automatically adjust exposure providing a better view in dark environment.
  • *Motion Detection and G-sensor: Auto recording moving target without any operation. Impact file protection technology. Automatically locks all the important video files.


What I liked
*************
- Very good quality recording both day and night
- Wide angle capture which also means you can put it any place you like on the screen
- Good solid camera with a brushed metal shell
- Easy to navigate menu system
- Good budget price
- Multitude of settings and features
- G-sensor and Motion Detection work very well and are adjustable
- Wide angle recording

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- More of a suggestion than a dislike as it clearly shows what it comes with, I would have liked the cigarette adapter lead to plug in via a USB connection rather than being molded giving the option of connecting to a different USB adapter.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a very nice dash cam delivering very high quality video with loads of features and functions at a reasonable budget price and the reason I have given it full marks. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
