Touch screen menu system is the best!
Having owned 4-5 other dash cams over the years, I must say without a doubt this is the best one I've owned yet. If for no other reason to purchase this one, it's for the touch screen. Do yourself a favor and don't buy any camera that is not touch screen...it makes life SO much easier.
My last camera was not touch screen and when I needed to replay a video after an incident; I spent 10 minutes pressing buttons trying to figure out the menu system. Because it's typically low light inside the car, and the menu buttons are typically not labeled and VERY small, it's really difficult to figure out how to navigate the menu system, especially if you're a bit shaken up by an event that just occurred, as I was.
The T4's touch screen menu system is so easy, you literally do not need to read the user's guide. And with the 4" screen, you can read a license plate when you play back the video. The rear camera works GREAT!! In fact, I use it as a back-up camera and just leave it on "rear view" only at all times, which is very handy when changing lanes because it will show you cars behind you that are in your blind spot. So, that in itself is worth the price of admission!
As far as setup, it's a no brainer. The 26' cable for the backup camera is more than enough for any car! I ran the cable under the trim from the front to the back and mounted the camera on the trim using the 3M double-side adhesive pad that came with it. Zero issues! I love that I can view the dash cam with Picture-in-Picture to show both rear and front, front only, rear only, or turn it off. But as I mentioned, I leave it on “rear view only” at all times. Regardless of which view you have it on, it will always record front and rear video at all times.
I can't stress enough the simplicity of a touch screen menu...once you use a touch screen dash cam, you'll never go back to buttons!
Video resolution/quality is great...no complains there!
