Great dash cams. Bought one for my 2019 Subaru forester and one for my 2021 Subaru Ascent. Easy to install and run cables yourself. Took maybe 30 minutes to install cleanly running the rear wire up over the passenger doors behind the trim to the back window. Highly recommend. Clear picture, and I like how you can see the front and back cams both on the display. My picture isn’t the best, as my phone kept glaring onto the dash cam display haha.

Everyone should have a dashcam. I had not had one for a while tho. So I’m glad I did and glad that got this insignia 4K front and rear dash cam set up. Insignia is a Bestbuy brand ( just in case you don’t know ). I have had an anker in the past while it was good it was only 1080p. I wanted a higher resolution dashcam this time around since I had an incident in the past and couldn’t see the plate clearly. And with this unit I know I will see everything clearly and not have to worry if that were to happen again. Its more of a peace of mind thing. And you should take into consideration that factor as well. Better safe than sorry. As far as this dashcam goes. It works very well nice screen. With easy to navigate buttons to adjust any setting in the menu. Very easy to use. easy enough to set up(if you know how to run/hide wires of course). Which I have done several times over the years. Picture quality is great in both day and night. These sensors allow a lot of light during the night drives. I drive about 80 miles a day in my vehicle for my small business and I didn’t have any issues myself. I am using a 128gb micro SD card. I wish insignia would have included at least 32gb card but it’s fine. I do recommend however that you format your micro Sd card inside an actual camera. As this might be the issue some other users might have had with card error msg. This is common among most dashcams. Also I will say I don’t think you need a 128gb card as this unit will re write every one min or so. You can change the clip time I believe in the menu settings. This dashcam does have a g sensor built in. But you will need either an always on battery source or in my case, a car that allows power(usb port) when the vehicle is off. I’m lucky because the unit will turn on when it feels vibration. And auto turn off after a short while of no activity. So it won’t drain my battery. I love that feature. That’s good for when someone bumps into your car when you are not there. It will catch those people and their license plate. Well worth the retail price in my humble opinion. You are covered front and back. You never know with how badly people drive nowadays. And not everyone is truthful unfortunately! Also this unit has an auto emergency detection feature. Tho it has gone off and saved the file twice lol. So while it was a false reading and kinda funny. It’s not a huge issue. All in all I’m very happy I got a dash cam again. I can relax a little bit more. I know I’m covered if anything were to happen. Try it out and see for yourself.

I have previously tried a few inexpensive dash cams without being able to find one that wasn't overly compromised in some important way. I'm happy to say the Insignia 4K Front and Rear system is much better than I would expect for what you are getting in the box at this price point. You do miss out on some convenient features that you can find in higher end cameras - but you might be able to accept these limitations with the knowledge that you are getting 4K front and 720p rear cameras in one box for a low price. Installation was pretty simple in my vehicle (a BMW 5 series) - the included cable for the rear camera was just long enough to get from the passenger side of my rear view mirror to the rear camera stuck to my center brake light in the rear window, hidden under the trim of the A and C pillars and the trim along the passenger side floorboard. I ended up with about 8 inches of cable to spare. The included cable is a Mini-USB tip on both ends so you can possibly find an extension if it isn't long enough. Quality wise, the video is technically 4K, but the compression rate is high enough that you aren't getting that kind of quality when the vehicle is in motion. Quality is good enough, although I had hoped that it would be good enough to make out license plate numbers - not quite, at least when you're in motion. You can easily make out vehicle models and colors, though. The biggest frustrations with using it are things you'll have with a lot of low end dash cameras - there isn't a voice assistant to automatically tag clips while you're driving (when weird stuff happens that you want to watch later, but didn't necessarily trigger a G shock clip), and there's no app based/wifi functionality for copying the clips off the camera. All you can do is take the micro SD card out and plug it into a card reader. Fortunately, my main laptop has a micro SD slot so this is no big deal for me. Also, not necessarily a frustration, but there's no GPS built in which isn't weird for an inexpensive front/rear system. I think the Insignia 4K system is a great way to add front and rear camera coverage to your vehicle for emergencies, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends and family who want to protect themselves in the event of a crash.
