Great little budget dash cam with some great features, my nephew passed his driving test last week and has just bought his first car so I said I would get him a dash cam and he was grateful but asked that I didn’t spend a fortune on it and got a little one he could fit behind the rear view mirror so this looked ideal.
It arrived in a plain flip top box with the dash cam in a little cellophane bag with a protector on the lens, it comes with a 16gb micro SD card another reason I purchased this one and unless you are storing up driving footage I find with my own 16GB more than adequate as it has loop recording which means it overwrites the oldest footage once the card is full, under the camera it had the windscreen fitting and two leads, one for fitting in the car and a USB to mini USB connector for transferring files to a desktop PC or laptop.
The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and I set it up indoors going through the menu settings via the button on the bottom right of the camera, apart from GPS tracking this camera had the exact same features as my dash cam which was well in excess of a hundred pounds and this was only £32.99 at the time of my purchase including the memory card.
I wanted to give all the features a good test before giving it to my nephew as he wanted me to go through how to use it with him and he had already purchased a fitting kit so I had offered to hard wire it in for him a very simple task with a kit and I would certainly recommend doing it, I tested the G-sensor with a bit of hard braking and it locked the files as it should, the wide angle recording quality is superb and captures everything both sides of the road including side roads and the paths. This camera is really small and sits perfectly behind the rear view mirror or down from it should you wish to view the screen, what I really like about the wide angle recording is you can locate the camera any place you like on the screen and you will capture everything.
I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, going through the menu and then going on to show some day and night time recording both of which were crystal clear quality but you should be aware the quality does tend to degrade somewhat when uploaded through the optimisation system so it is not really a great representation of the quality of the live recording.
What I liked
*************
- Tiny and a very discreet dash cam
- Very good quality finishing on the camera with nice push silver buttons
- LCD screen quality is very clear
- Easy to navigate menu system with a multitude of features and settings
- Recording quality both day and night is superb with 140 degree wide angle recording
- Comes with a 16GB micro SD card so it’s ready to use straight out of the box with no additional purchases apart from a car :)
- The price is great
What I Didn’t Like
********************
- If I wanted to be really picky I would say the cigarette connector is the moulded type and I prefer the ones that plug in via a USB so you can have a different connector that takes multiple devices but this is going to be hard wired in so not really an issue
Summary
**********
Overall a cracking little budget dash cam that has the features and settings of a expensive camera, has great recording quality and is ready to use straight out of the box and I have given it a full five stars. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
