  Very good for the money. Good quality picture both front and rear. I used Best Buy's Geek Squad for the install and they did a nice job hiding all the wires and getting power to the camera cleanly. Glad the SD card was included.

  Until know everything is ok. Any explanation and manuals are not included in the box. You have to look them through the web. If you have doubts ask the installer.

  Finally an easy rear camera to mount

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  First impressions - very well packed. Box was tight with everything inside, no wasted space. Plenty of cable. And even an extra mounting pad for the main dash cam - I really liked that touch. I was going to detract a star because they're using an ancient USB mini plug on the dashcam. And I immediately take away a star for anything at the end of 2025 that uses anything other than USB C. But there are just so many other good points with this kit I noted right out of the box, before I even started getting things hooked up to test, that I decided I'd let this one slide. I've had dashcams for years. Many types, but the only ones I stuck with were my Cobra radar detector that included a dash cam, and what replaced it, an Escort MAXcam 360c radar detector with an integrated dashcam. I liked the simplicity of radar plus dash cam in one. But I've always wanted one for the rear. And the problem with rear mounting is the lines on the window for the rear defroster. That leaves it impossible to use suction cup type mounts, and I wouldn't use a two way adhesive type thing over those since it could damage them especially during removal. This has an absolutely perfect rear mount design. It's a narrow oval with an adhesive base that fits easily BETWEEN the defroster lines, so you don't have to worry about anything. And the magnetic connection of the camera ball to that oval mounting point means it's easy to position the spherical rear camera just how you need it. Brilliant. I saw in some reviews for this that one guy took it to Best Buy to install. I wouldn't get a system that can only be installed by a pro. But a little search, and I found my new vehicle that I got this year has a nice 10 pin power plug for the rearview mirror behind a simple little pop out panel. Found the adapter online that is that 10 pin cable male and female to go in between, with a USB power out plug that can be tucked behind the mirror. Perfect for this since it comes with a short USB cable that will let this give me the cleanest install. Only downside now is the cable for the rear camera. I don't mind it on the floor in back and on the seat, my kid graduated and moved out three and a half years ago, so I have nothing to deal with in back seats anymore. If I had this mounted low on the dash, I could just tuck it between the dash and window around the sides and down to the floor and under the seats and such. But if I mount it up high by the mirror now with this adapter, I'm going to have to do a better job of hiding the cable to the rear... Oh well... Playing with it powered off of my computer, it asked me to format the SD card after the initial insertion. Then when I pulled it out of my Surface Pro's USB port to let it be powered somewhere else, it did a little shutdown like everything does. But immediately said the SD card is bad and required it to be reformatted. Since this is the exact same thing it will experience when I turn off the car (power loss) this was a bit concerning. So I did it again. And this time I had no issue. And the multiple times afterwards it had no issues. And after three or four weeks of driving, no issues. I love the muted little tone for powering on and off. My Escort has a loud, "Camera ON" and "Camera OFF" when the car starts and turns off. But you can also completely mute the sounds from here in the menus, which is what I opted for. This is a pretty basic system, no bells and whistles. It's only 1080, but still is enough for what you need it for. No wireless to pull videos off, you have to yank the card. But in a way that's also one of its strengths. I've had the complex ones, and they were usually more hassle and trouble than they were worth. But having the rear camera plugged in, I can never get it "seen" by the main camera, so I only have the single front cam going. Working through the menu options I see nothing else. Had no need to update the firmware, what was on their website showed the same version. But their website was flaky the night I was looking, lots of page not found errors there, so they may have been dealing with some server side issues. Looking the next day I didn't experience those problems. And absolutely nothing still is getting me the rear camera. I've got it plugged in fully (since on the barrel cable part of the short cable from the rear camera, there's actually indents on the ends that have to mesh to fully insert it. Otherwise it seems like it's connected but it isn't. Even verifying that, this system will NOT see my rear camera at all. It took me about 10 or 15 minutes of unplugging, replugging, unplugging, replugging, before it finally recognized there was a rear camera connected. And yes, I was powering off the dash cam every time since it warns you to only disconnect or reconnect the rear camera when the main unit is powered off. The following day my little rearview mirror power adapter cable arrived, so I got that installed, tested with the dash cam, and it powered it just fine. So about 10 minutes worth of mounting and I was up and running, including the rear camera. I cheated for now, have the cable along the roof using the spring loaded hand holds on both driver and rear left passenger door to run the cable out of the way for testing, and then used a Velcro strap to hold the majority of it coiled up behind the rear seat where the cargo cover goes. Ultimately if I keep this active in here I'll get it ran better. But for testing, this worked well. The rear cam was as expected a piece of cake to mount. Took it for the first spin at night. Front cam worked well at night. I have a 2025 Hyundai Kona Limited with excellent lighting at night. So the view was good, and the camera had a clear view. The rear cam, however, really suffers at night. The picture has a TON of noise - I've posted photos showing just how much noise is scattered through the image. And if you're like me with a center mounted rear brake light that has been mandated for decades, when you hit the brake, the rear cam becomes basically useless. But during my night drive test, when I was in a place with more light (such as a corner by a stoplight with lots of streetlights around) then it wasn't as bad. Next day during daylight, all looks better, even the rear, but the rear still has issues. I don't know if it is from the sensitivity they set it for to try to see things better at night, but the front camera is obviously right against the front windshield, but even with sun glare, it's not bad and not getting reflections of light off of the windshield. The rear still gets totally washed out sometimes on one side or the other depending on where the sun is positioned in relation to my vehicle. When there aren't issues like that, the rear camera is at least OK. Not as good as the front, but better than nothing. Interestingly enough, if you wear polarized glasses, the screen will be not visible during the day - looks like it is turned off, unless you lean to the center and get right behind it, then you can kind of see it again. So this is a really mixed bag. I love having a rear camera, but it's uninspiring at best, useless at worst. Love the fact that they had such a great way to mount it and position it, but the picture quality just suffers so much in dark light. But it's at least better during the day, when the sun isn't glaring at the rear of the vehicle. I've kept it installed, and am happy for the video coverage of the rear of the car I never had before. I'd give it 3 stars normally, but finally having something to easily mount in the back between the defroster lines earns back one of those stars despite the lackluster video quality depending on the lighting. It's still better than having no rear cam at all like I've done for year.
