Nice little camera if you only need to record the front of vehicle and is easy enough to move between vehicles. Everything works as expected, it turns on and off with vehicle power (assuming you're vehicle disables power to the cigarette lighter when the engine is off, otherwise you would have to plug/unplug it manually).I like that the video embeds the time/GPS coordinates/speed on the bottom.The only thing I don't like is that the speed embedded in the video is shown only in "kph", which is fine, but I would really prefer to be able to change it to"mph" for use in America. Also it uses the older style "mini USB" plug and the cord it includes is rather short. So if you want to use your own USB charger, you may need to find a longer cable. ( For example I only have 1 lighter plug, so I use a dual USB adapter, so I can power this camera and charge my phone at the same time. My lighter plug is near the floor, so the cord that came with the camera didn't reach)Most of the buttons are dual function, so quick pressing a button does something other than long pressing the same button, and they perform different functions depending on what mode you are in. The instructions aren't very good at explaining the many functions of the 4 buttons on the bottom, but it's pretty easy to figure out by playing with it.For example, the arrow down button mutes the mic while recording, but while playing videos, it lowers the volume, but if you hold it down, it rewinds. While the video is paused, is skips back to the previous file.Also, the first time you power it up, you have to let it sit there and charge for a few minutes (do not insert memory card yet). If you plug it in for the first time and insert the memory card before it's charged a bit, it will just keep rebooting.

I bought this entry level dashcam month before and I liked the functionality of this dashcam so far. It comes with two options for installation, a sticker, and a suction mount.I installed this camera with Suction mount since I don't want to paste the sticker on my car's windshield. Installation was very easy with the crowbar which comes with the package. Using crowbar I was able to hide the wire inside the roof. The charging cord is long enough which allows you to take it all along the windshield and reach the plug to the dashboard.It comes with Resolution customization, G-Sensor feature, Auto Power off, Auto Screen off functionality. Quality of the videos looks good in the daytime and can capture the number plates of the vehicles easily in case of any mishappening.It also has the features of Resolution customization, G-Sensor, Auto Power and Auto Screen off. Its a value for money deal for the entry level dashcams.

This is obviously a budget dash cam. I've had mine a little over a year, but it finally broke today. I've had issues with the camera coming on our testing itself randomly since I got it. Today the cheap plastic bracket finally gave out and broke completely in half. I could probably replace the bracket or attach it another way but the other issues make it not worthwhile. I'll look for something higher quality instead. I would recommend skipping this and buying something built better.

It is a really nice budget cam but it does not record every second that you drive.I almost crashed one day and wanted to posted online how that idiot drove but when I was about to check on the cam, it was not recording I had barely started driving. So I hit the ok button and it started recording. I wouldve been liable for everything if I had crashed. At least come out with a software update that I can download to the device to fix this issue.

 Update: the camera quite rarely, but sporadically would stop recording. You need to manually press the button to restart recording process and then it works fine again. The manual says it happens when the card is full, but I don't get the logic - it supposed to rotate loop-ed clips. I set mine sequentially to 3 mins, 2 and finally 1 min long, still see the stoppages once in a while. Could be dangerous if it stops right before you get something happened that's worth to be recorded.When my previous ($99+) camera got broken in less than a week, I returned it and decided to try something less expensive.I was also looking for a model with GPS, so that I don't need to worry about setting up a correct clock time anymore.And this unit comes in my search results. Nice design, GPS, high quality of video, and good price made it a great candidate for my tests.I am well-satisfied with the results. The picture is clear and view is wide-angled. Night mode is also fine. Although, you almost never can see a license plate symbols (especially in night when plates are well-lit), but it is rarely needed as long as everything else is recorded. I mean, yes, it would be great to have a clear license plate number, but it takes much more storage space and resources to capture it, so I bet it only works in high-end cameras now.Overall, the usability is properly planned, and the manual is very informative and written in many languages. Buttons are ergonomic and you can easily click one to lock a video or to mute the audio recording (if you want to keep your conversations private).Like I expected, the date and time are synced with GPS, you only need to set your timezone once.And one minor issue, that is easily solvable though, is that GPS tracking the unit is storing, comes in .gps format and they provide a Windows App automatically (yes, it's already on your SD card when you need it. Well, if you're running Windows at you computer).I'm using MacOS, so I googled and found this program GPXSee. It is capable to read the .gps format as long as you say it "open ALL files, not only supported extensions".P.S. I'm attaching a video file from the camera as is, but I'd be surprised if Amazon won't alter it and downsample the quality.

Received dash cam that someone returned after using for a while. Screen is really scuffed up, instructions (one large sheet) all tore up.Payed a full price for used item. Not even trying to power it up - RETURNING. Disappointed.

Great product!
