Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay, so I've been using this for over a month now. Driving for Uber/Lyft to make some extra money and wanted one of these for my protection. Pros: Fantastic picture! Seriously a great picture. Easy to use and setup. Dual cameras - in the car and out front if you want - or whatever you want! They are adjustable! Audio Has an internal battery so it will save whatever video you are working on before it shuts off. Loops records over old video so you don't have to remove the card to delete old stuff. The card (32gb) holds about a days worth of driving on high quality setting. Cons: The suction holds really well, but the unit slides off the suction mount too easily. It has fallen a few times - annoying. It needs a tighter fit. I removed a star for this reason alone but added a star back because the price is just way too good! The audio isn't that great. It's okay but could be a lot better. I didn't buy this for the audio though, so all is good. 32 gb sd card is too small imho. I wish I could use larger. Too many flashing lights on the unit! A little distracting. Okay, so for the geeks out there you will figure this thing out pretty quick, but reading some of the reviews I realize not a lot of you understand technology well so let me give a few tips. #1 - you need to buy a mini SD card. Buy a 32 GB card. Here is the one I bought here on Amazon: SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Memory Card With Adapter (SDSDQUA-032G-U46A) #2 - Don't try to watch any of your videos on the tiny little screen! The best part about the screen is to make sure you have your cameras pointed in the right direction. Pop the micro card out, place it in its adapter, then stick it in your SD card reader slot on your computer. If you don't have an SD card reader slot, but a USB SD reader. It's worth it and only cost a couple of bucks. But don't try to use the screen for viewing! #3 - Formatting - lots and lots of questions about formatting. Don't format the card when you get it. Just stick it in the slot. Yep, you heard me - the SanDisk micro card slides right in and starts taping from the start. Ignore all format instructions. #4 - Some people have shared that they get the message that the card is full. This MAY happen. Yes, the unit is supposed to loop record but it may, at some point, not do this. Why do you ask? Well, there is a setting on it where it purposely won't write over certain clips. It records in one minute clips. If it encounters heavy movement (like a car accident) it marks the clip as one that can't be written over. This is a feature to protect you if you do get in a car accident, that way if the recorder keeps recording, it doesn't copy over the accident! So, if you accidentally bump the camera, it will mark the file as "do not copy over." These can add up after a while and, who knows, maybe other glitches, but you may eventually get an "SD card full" error. If you do, simply go through the menu on the camera and choose "Format Card." Yes, now you can format the card. (I know I said no need to do this, but this is the exception to the rule.) The format takes about 2 seconds and you are back on the road. #5 Viewing. If you want to watch your videos you need to know how to find them on your card. Pop your card out (yes, it's a pain to get it in and out, but just push it down slightly and it will pop back up.) Put the micro card in the adapter and put it in your computer. If you computer does recognize it right away, just set it to open the file with file explorer. If it doesn't, then simply go to file explorer or My Computer, and look for your SD card. Once you open the file menu, plow down until you see two sub folders. One will have first camera views and the other will have the second camera views. You will notice the pictures are awesome. Really decent quality. You can delete all of these files right there if you want. I do whenever I view a clip. Okay, I'm sure there are a million questions I didn't answer, but this should help get you started. Great camera - so much so I bought one for my wife's car! And the price! OMG - just buy the thing.
