Dash Cam 1080P Full HD 3 Inch Dashboard Camera Car Recorder with 32GB Card 170°Wide Angle Dashcam Driving Loop Recording G-Sensor

****UPDATE 3**** I have been running this unit constantly for the last 9 months. It has given me 0 problems. I have also used it on several offroading trips in my Jeep. The only issues I have had on the wheeling trips were: 1, a dirty windshield (inside). (Not the camera's fault) 2, The Jeeps alternator did something funny, the voltage spiked up for half a minute or so. It scrambled the dates on the camera, (weird) but it still kept recording.All in all, a solid camera, I like it!***UPDATE 2*** I gave it the 5th star today. I have been running the camera for over 2 months now and it works like a champ. My only comment is this, if you are driving a truck (i.e. BIG RIG) turn the crash sensor or whatever it is called OFF. Even with it adjusted to max, it saved too many files, thinking they were wrecks. I do alot of urban driving, and am on 7 axles at 105,500, so it MAY not be as bad if you are a strict long hauler and/or running a standard 5 axle rig that is all on air...maybe. I would just kill it and be done with it.The wreck save files eventually filled up the card and the camera would not work...it got, like hung up and couldn't figure out what to do. I had to make sure the battery was charged, unplug it from the power cord and reformat the card using the built in software. Not hard, but took some thinking about it to figure out. Don't know why it being plugged in was keeping me from getting into the menu, but it was. Just an FYI, if it happens to you. That is the only issue I have had since I bought it.**UPDATE** I have had it for over a month now, and it has worked great every time. I run a tanker, so my camera is on 12+ hours a day, 5 days a week, and the only "issue" I have had with it was the power cord popping out of the lighter socket on a bad bump. (Not it's fault, just saying it is that solid and reliable.)1 of the other reviewers made a comment about the blue LED light. It is horribly bright and distracting in the dark. I covered mine with a tiny piece of electrical tape. Problem solved.**ORIGINAL REVIEW** I have only had the camera 1 week. I am holding back 1 star until I know the unit is going to last. I will update this after a couple months, and if it keeps working like it has been, I will add the 5th star!If you are a truck driver, you need to set the crash detection setting to HIGH. The default is Medium, and an unseen pothole will lock it into accident mode. To get it to resume, just hit the ok button and it starts recording in standard mode again. I am posting this first, because, as a driver, this is the kind of thing I want to know when reading reviews.The camera is SOLID. It feels like an aluminum body, instead of a plastic body, so I liked that right out of the box.Setup was easy.Video quality is really good. It works well from false dawn until the sun is completely down. In full dark, it works less well. You can still make out some details, but it is not as sharp. (Obviously!)It does not get hot. This suprised me since the last 3 units I have used have all gotten at least warm, and 1 of them was hot as a pistol after a couple hours.If you have a truck that the cigarette lighter shuts off with the key, the camera will shut off when the power goes away, and will start back up automatically when the truck is started again. In my Pete, I unplug it at the end of the day, but you could let it run.Overall, I really like the unit. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is I wish they had made a way to attach the mount to the bottom, so I could mount it at the bottom of the windshield instead of the top. It has a better view from the top, but if I could put it down low, it would be out of my line of sight.

The media could not be loaded. Whenever I’ve seen dashcam footage on Youtube or the news in the past I’ve always thought “what a weird thing to have in your car as an every day person. What reason could these people possibly have to record every moment of their driving”? Then I was involved in 3 uninsured driver/ hit and runs in one month and realized I should probably start documenting some of these instances because there is no way my insurance is going to continue to believe my luck is this bad. My husband is the more techy/ gadget person in our house so he was really excited to get one of these and set it up for me. He insisted that I know how to set it up and operate it since it was going in my car so we went through the whole set-up together. Inside the box the camera also includes usb cord, car adapter, suction cup mount, and even came with it’s own memory card which is AWESOME- I hate getting something for myself and immediately having to buy another add on just to make it work. It was actually SO EASY! The suction cup installation was a snap and took about 30 seconds- all you do is stick the suction cup to the windshield, then push the leaver away from you which lock the suction in tight, and adjust the camera accordingly. Last, I just had to plug it into my lighter outlet thingie and I was rolling!. Once we got out on the road and started playing around with it we couldn’t believe how many cool features it has and how easy it is to use. It has a wide angle, almost fish eye lens- like, so the field of vision is huge, (it may be even bigger than my own...) You can easily zoom in and out with the click of a button to choose your desired view. It has the option to record sound or not, which I thought was cool- ya know... just in case you want to hear the soundtrack you had to your accident:) Most of all the picture is AMAZING. Neither my husband or I could believe how bright, clear, and defined the picture is. It was like watching a movie. Ive seen videos of a lot of dash cam videos and they always look like a bad convenience store security camera robbery video. This thing is like Hollywood blockbuster quality. My husband said its 1080i, which is what the picture quality of our TV is! As long as the camera is plugged into your car outlet it will automatically turn on and off with your car, which is great because there is no way I would remember to turn it on and off every time I get in and out of the car. It has 3 different time save settings of 3, 5, and 10 minutes segments which didn’t seem like enough to me at first, but the more I think about it there is rarely a situation that you’d need more than that recorded- plus, you wont have to worry about searching through hours of footage just to find the thing you're looking for! Theres also a great feature called “accident auto detection” which it tells itself to not write over a certain clip if it senses an accident (luckily I haven’t had to use that yet). You can also switch it into a mode when your car is off so that it will record surveillance video while you are away from your car if you are parked in an area you don’t trust. It came with a 12 month warranty and lifetime support which is always a bonus. Ive included two video clips, of day and night driving to show the resolution. Im not sure if uploading it to Amazon will diminish the quality, but trust me, the picture is AMAZING. Honestly, it’s probably a little too good to just be recording me sitting in traffic all day.
