  I've had nothing but problems since purchasing this product almost a year ago. - You will need to separately purchase a battery charger/maintainer because this device will suck your battery dry quicker than a sponge soaking water. DroneMobile will tell you that you need modify your record settings in parking mode, but no matter which setting you choose, your battery will still rapidly deplete even if you drive your car every day like I do mine. - The quality is horrible. The field of view is not nearly as wide as it boasts and the picture and video quality is sub par. You're better off taking a mental picture of whatever you see and putting it on an Etch A Sketch! Forget about viewing anything if there is even the slightest bit of sun glare from any angle. - There is a massive delay between when the camera decides to begin recording and the video captured. Meaning, when you view the live video and/or recorded video, whatever you are viewing happened about 4 seconds ago. What's the point of having live viewing or capturing video when it's 4 seconds too late? Someone walked down my driveway to my car (from the rear) and got in front of my windshield to place something under my windshield wiper. I should have been able to see his face as he was walking toward my car. Nope. I did get to see him walk away, though, as his back was turned. - Though it's fixed now, for many months, the time stamp on videos (live and recorded) was incorrect. I bought this camera setup because someone broke into my car. Thankfully, it hasn't happened again. Imagine submitting video evidence to the police with an incorrect timestamp. When I initially reached out to DroneMobile about this specific issue, their response was simply "Thank you for reaching out to us. There is currently no way to change the timestamp." - Many, many nights I would receive an alert on the app that a stage 2 impact occurred or that the windshield was broken. Thankfully, they were all false alarms. Do you have any idea how unnerving it is to receive an alert that your car was damaged or potentially broken into? - Here's the scam: In order to utilize some of the best and more advanced features, you have to pay for their LTE service plan. For the peace of mind, I was more than happy to. However, every time the alarm triggers, a capture gets uploaded to the cloud which is what I paid for. It does not distinguish between an actual alarm trigger or a false alarm trigger. With the amount of false alarms this thing triggers, you will burn through your data plan faster than you can blink. And when you do, your account gets locked. Meaning, any data reliant features are unusable until your monthly cycle ends. AND, you have to contact DroneMobile to tell them to unlock the restriction after the monthly cycle reset because they DO NOT do so automatically. - Now DroneMobile will tell you that if you don't want to drain your data plan due to false alarm triggers, turn off the feature where captures are uploaded to the cloud. Imagine paying for a premium plan to use a premium feature and being told that you shouldn't use it because of a faulty design on their end (false alarm triggers). I was a million times happier with my Viofo camera setup. The only reason why I chose to go with the DroneMobile setup was to take advantage of the live viewing and GPS location features in case it gets stolen. But, as one other reviewer pointed out, the GPS feature is wasted because it can easily be circumvented. I won't repeat how, but there's no point in buying this for the GPS location feature. DroneMobile got my money. Don't give them yours!
