Easy set up
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. With all the recent burglaries and close calls with traffic I decided to look into a dash camera. I chose this because of the price and the decent reviews. For me the set up was easy to do, it didn't take long to get it up and running. The user interface on the camera itself is a little cumbersome, but from the size I would expect that. I run a Samsung 128Gb micro SD in the unit and I haven't had any issues with it moving any footage to the card. I don't record audio because I talk to myself while driving, it's purely to hide my embarrassment.I've enclosed a small video of driving in the sun all the way to driving at night so you can get an idea of how it records in those conditions. I unfortunately left the protective sticker over the lens on the back camera without realizing it, and it was looking out a tinted window, so it's much brighter than in the video. I also want to point out that the 3M adhesive that comes with the mounting hardware is really sticky. I used a different double sided tape over window, I didn't want to mess up the rear tint if I ever tried to remove the camera.The image is pretty good, but I cant really enhance license plates and as you can tell by passing cars can get a little blurry as they go by. For the price I don't think you can get the quality that you can with this camera, it's a solid unit for the price.******Update******Still works well, except make sure you format the SD card in the unit, because when someone breaks out your window it won't record, so I have learned.Also when it's hot out the display comes on, I want it off but it won't stay off unless it's cool, which is weird. It will even lock up and won't try to turn off if it's really hot out (80°f)******Update*******I sent Aukey and email about the issue with it staying on. I got a reply immediately and then tried to diagnose what could be the issue. Figured there was something wrong with the unit, so they sent another one promptly to replace it. I put it in and it works great! The customer service is fantastic and I know that they'll do whatever it takes to make it right. I have confidence in the product because they care enough to take care of the customer

Good picture in light; Soft picture at night; About 12.5 hours with 128gb card
Overall I'm pretty happy with it.Picture quality/lens:In optimal lighting you can make out plates within about 10 or so meters. About the center 60 degrees of the framehas the best quality as the image becomes slightly distorted towards the edge because of the wide field of view. Not to the point of plates being unreadable on the front cam, but you may have more difficulty making them out on the rear cam.Night driving:At night, the distance you can make out plates from is reduced as the picture becomes softer. The front cam is pretty good at night, but the rear cam gets very dark.Storage:Using both cams, I've approximated that you can store about:128gb — 12h 20m (my card size)64gb — 6h 10m32gb — 3h 5m16gb — 1h 30m(Calculations are based on the total actual driving time from both cams, not the gross total footage. My card can storejust over 24h 40m. That's shared between two cams, so the actual time is halved.)Collision detection:I changed the collision detection to medium but that just gave tons of false positives from potholes and bumps.

I have mixed feelings about this camera
I have mixed feelings about this camera. I have one installed in my minivan. I hardwired the camera, though not to be “always ON” (I may switch it to the “always ON” fuse now, after reading positive responses about it). In my case all wiring is hidden, and in the minivan is was difficult to do. While putting the cable via ”easy” path between the front and the back (in the floor trim near the door), I discovered that the cable was too short. While manual says it’s a USB cable, the manual is WRONG. I contacted support, which was very responsive, but was told that 1) the company does not sell or make an extension cable, 2) the company cannot provide me with the layout of the cable that connects front and back, and 3) it’s not possible to buy a replacement cable, in case this one breaks. It APPEARS to be a 10-pin cable, with possibly proprietary pinout. The support was cool about it, and offered refund if I did not want the camera anymore, but I kept it and rerouted the cable between the driver-side wall and the ceiling (via “blind” channel, which was an interesting exercise).Pros:- The image quality of the front camera is good, even at night.- The images are correctly time-stamped.- The camera is light and small. It’s not going to fall off the glass.- The camera is easily removed/put back, if I need to do it.- The sdcard is easily accessible, if I want to remove it/put back.- The power connector is a standard USB, so it was easy to hardwire.- The support is responsive.Cons:- The image quality of the rear camera is not bad if there is a light at the back. But if your rear window is factory-tinted, as it is on minivans, and there are no car behind you, the image will be pitch-black.- The buttons are not very intuitive. Of course, you can read the manual and figure it out, but it’s not something you would do on the road.- The cable that connects front and back camera appears to be proprietary. There is no replacement for it, and no known pinout.- Support cannot help you much if you need technical information about the camera.- The sticky pad that comes with it is greyish, which is not very inconspicuous. I bought black gorilla tape pads and used the spare mounting plate that comes with the camera. With those unless you look close, you will not notice that I have the camera installed.

Quality dvr
Very compact and quality product. Must have to help document and/or protect your vehicle.May 19 Update: I've been using this now for a few months. The quality of the video (both front and back) are great. The mount design ensures minimum vibration of the units and thus better quality of the output. My only issue is that the unit reboots as the engine is started (turn the ignition on and the unit goes on, then start the engine and the unit reboots). The display screen is smallish too.

Rear view camera is coming out frequently. Though the base of rear view camera fixed in trunk door, the camera fixing is not sturdy . It’s becoming loose and hanging frequently
