XTRONS Full HD 1080P Car DVR Road Video Recorder Dash Camera Car Driving Recorder with 140° Wide Angle, Loop Recording

When I first purchased this dashcam I could not figure out how to get its software loaded (but it had been answered in the question/answer part of this listing). I also had a problem with the loop recording (wouldn't work and videos were short then stopped). I ended up finding it to be the SD card as the issue (maybe too small, I switched from 8gb to 65gb) and it works perfect. The price was quite good, video quality is fine, and build is good. Adapts well to my Ztrons 10 inch head unit. I set it up to autolaunch and it just works.My recommendation for the manufacturer is to provide better install instructions, particularly regarding the software (how to find it by name and install using a file manager).

The only complaint that I have about this camera is that the microSD card slot is difficult to work with when the camera is mounted. Also, when I attempted to install my 64GB microSD card, I managed to "miss" the metal slot, and slid the card between the plastic housing and the actual slot. This required unmounting the camera and taking out the 4 screws that hold it together. Once I put the cover back on, I was able to install the card before I re-mounted the camera.I hope to transfer most of the video files via the Wi-Fi function on the head unit, so I hope I don't have to mess with installing and removing the card again.Pictures above show the mounted camera, the view on the stereo (Xtrons TE706PL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CPS731Y/ ), and the actual view out the windshield.Update 21st May 2019: I wish there was a feature to disable the blue LED on the camera, also a feature within the Camera application to upload files to a home based server. Beyond that, file management of the videos could use a lot of improvement. Being able to customize the way files are saved, altering default directory, etc. I believe most of these issues could be handled with a software update.Update 14th, Dec 2023: The camera has been running OK for all of this time. The adhesive for the sticker failed within 3 months in the hot Hawaii sun. I originally purchased this camera for $34.99, since then the price has gone up. Video quality is not the greatest, as the video seems "choppy", but it works well for the price. I had to purchase a different mounting system that uses an armature around the rearview. This cuts down on already limited space and is subjected to bumping anytime I adjust the rearview. Before each drive, I have to make sure the camera is in the correct position, otherwise I'll get video of the sky.

The media could not be loaded. Jan 2022 update:After two years this camera is still working great. I did discover that the date/time was not correct on the video but that was my fault. The camera gets the current date/time from the head unit (radio). I had the ATOTO A6 head unit set to auto update the date and time from the network. I seldom have a network connection. I changed it to get the current date/time from the GPS signal, problem solved.Jan 2019:Hooked this to an ATOTO A6 Pro head unit. That ATOTO DVR software did not recognize this camera but the camera includes software in its rom so loaded that and works great. The camera records on its own micro sd card, the included software can be used to view the recorded files and see the current camera view but does not record to the head unit. Good resolution but you can't read license plates except maybe a car you stop behind. The night time still shots I made from the videos don't do look that good but the video is better. As another reviewer said the SD card is difficult to remove after the unit is installed. But I have had dash cams for many years now and I almost never remove the cards so that is not a concern. For the price it works well and serves the purpose of proving fault in an accident. All in all I'm happy with it and would buy it again.

Install was easy with xtrons head unit. Took 10 minutes, mostly to deal with cables. Software on unit installed on head unit, works to view live video, but can only hear audio on past recordings, no picture. Will remove sd card to see if video available on PC.

Just like the $500 Radio and the TPMS Sensor. In only a few months it has also died. Refuses to come on, record, do anything. Just a useless hunk of junk stuck to my windshield attached the useless radio. AVOID AT ALL COST ANY AND ALL XTRONS BRAND GOODS!! XTRONS IS JUNK AND THEY HAVE 0, NONE, NADA CUSTOMER SERVICE.

For the cost I highly recommend this dash cam. It works perfect for android head units, but I have it set up for 24/7 security camera too by powering it off my always on USB outlet when the android unit is off, so even if you don't have a monitor in your car you can power it and then pull the memory card to view on your computer. I'm thinking of getting a couple more to use just for that purpose - like one hidden behind the grill powered off the under hood fuse box.

Installed today. Sticky adhesive does not work for this dashcam. Hard to see if it is in the on position. Not well built, however, cheap is cheap.

This thing is fantastic! Very high def, the app is on the built in storage.I wisg i could turn off the internal storage, so my head unit wouldn't load the drive each time, but regardless is it great.I do have one complaint, is the bottom of the camera catches the reflection of my dash at night, which messes up the recording a bit. I fixed it by putting a peice of plastic under it to block the light.
