Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This camera has all the features of a much more expensive model. I’ll admit it’s not as polished and perhaps not as advanced, but it does a good job at capturing video, and the rest of the features are just gravy. The one thing that caught me off-guard is that the camera is bigger than I expected. I guess it’s because of the dual lenses, I just thought it’d be smaller. I made the mistake of reading all of the description on this camera, and I noticed that there was a note in bold letters about searching for and ordering a $5 item if you wanted to mount the camera with a suction-cup on your windshield. Well, I tried to be proactive and ordered the suction-cup at the same time I ordered my camera... Wouldn’t you know it! The camera already comes with a suction-cup mount as well as a bracket with double-sided mounting tape. Lesson? DON’T BUY THE ADDITIONAL SUCTION CUP. I like almost everything about this camera. These are my favorite things: • It doesn’t have a battery that would get damaged in a hot car (uses capacitors instead) • It begins recording as soon as the car is turned on • Can record sound, or not • Can record outside and inside, or just outside • It has a gravity/motion sensor that will automatically lock images/video in case of collision • Can be mounted on dash or windshield • Built-in WiFi to access images without removing SD card • Inside camera has built-in IR lights for recording in a dark interior • Each lens swivels independently to let you adjust your angles • Screen can turn off, but you can still tell it’s recording via a blinking red button There are other things to like about the camera, like the fact that most functions are accessible directly from the buttons without having to go through the menu. Like turning on the WiFi hotspot can be done by holding down the record button for a few seconds… Another button turns the IR LEDs on and off the same way. But here are the few things that need improvement: • The camera still uses the ancient miniUSB power port. These are harder and harder to find because devices moved to microUSB years ago, and now everything is migrating to type-C • The loop-recording option is just illogical. The menu options let you turn it off, or set the loop recording option to increments no larger than 3 minutes. However, I’ve found that turning it off makes the camera record in 15 minute increments. I don’t know if that means it will stop once the card is full (I hope not), but this needs to be addressed with an update ASAP. My last item is not really a knock; it’s more of a wish-list item. The only thing I wish this camera had that it doesn’t, is a GPS receiver. The cameras that do, record your direction, location, and speed along with your video, so that would just knock this thing out of the park, but I didn’t expect it to have one at this price.
