A step in the right direction

A lot needs to be done to create the ultimate dash cam. For me that camera needs to have Higher frame rate better low light footage,night vision,good microphones, local and remote wireless access,a cloud option and accept high capacity storage solutions. Basically a video camera combined with a surveillance camera capable of capturing footage while driving or in parking that can be used to document journeys as well as for security. This camera and all others in the market that claim 4k produce very poor quality footage. Quality wise they barely compare to 1k footage from 10 year old smartphones. This camera has a nice form factor, very easy to use and it’s the best one yet for capturing number plates in its price range. It runs a bit too hot and aside from number plates recognition and a really good mic the footage unfortunately it’s unusable no matter what you do in post production. All in all works fine as dash cam. Parking mode it’s easy to set in the app and with the OBD cable. Nothing to impress. Just another run of the mill dash cam. I personally use my phone to record while I’m driving and then use this camera for parking mode.

Almost Needed it in the First Month

It was super easy to install and it is nice and can be mounted out of my line of sight. I love how the video is saved and recorded. I almost had someone make a left right in front of me so i looked at the video and it shows so much important and helpful information if it ever needed. Really happy with the purchase!

Exactly what I was looking for. 1/ Pocket size, 2/ Easily removable, 3/ True 4K. As wishlist for improvement. A/ Suction holder as an option, B/ Holder closer to windshield (though depends on windshield angle), C/ Some battery capacity.
