Overall I’m very pleased with this dash cam especially for the price. Despite what other reviewers say it DOES RECORD AUDIO you just have to turn that setting on. It is off by default.
I have two complaints about this device.
1. The media is stored locally, not on the app or cloud. This means you have to connect to the cameras built in hot spot to access the videos. The problem with that is a. You have to be in your car or bring the camera inside and plug it in in your house to see any of the videos (or even access the settings) and b. Since you must be on the cameras wifi hot spot to access it you can’t be on your wifi internet to download the videos so you’re using cell data which is slow and costly (if you don’t have unlimited data).
However, you can bring the micro SD inside and use your computer to access the videos, but app settings always require direct hotspot connection.
2. The incident sensitivity is too high/can’t be disabled. This camera has a feature that records video/takes photo in addition to the regular constant video when it senses a sudden stop or serious collision that it saves to a separate folder. It’s a good idea but: a. It’s way too sensitive. Even on the lowest sensitivity it would announce that it was recording an emergency video when I hit a speed bump. I disabled this feature entirely and it still does it. B. It’s really not that helpful anyway. If it’s recording an incident from the moment of impact, the information you need leading up to the incident wouldn’t be included so it’s kinda useless.
Quality is great, constant automatic recording, cheap price, easy to use and set up. It does everything I wanted, so overall I’m very satisfied.
