Car and Driver - CDC-646 Dash Cam - Gray

The car and driver dash cam is an inexpensive camera to use for everyday driving. Great picture and once you have the button positions memorized it is easy to use. Good product for the money so far.

Had tried several dash cams, love that you can removed this one very easy and install on another vehicle as it doesn’t have one of those 3M tape mounts. The videos are super sharp and the motion sensor is awesome to record at night any movements around your vehicle

The instruction booklet is printed so small that I can hardly read it. Camera is supposed to come on automaticaly, but only does it about 80% of the time... expensive for what you get and complicated. I still cannot figure out how to play it back or why I needed a big SD card when it only records 3 minutes. I was hoping I could record my road trip, but can't figure out how. Instructions suck...you need a magnify glass to even read them. Guess they saved 50 cents on paper that way. The lane changing alert beeps all the time, even if you don't change lanes. Had to turn this feature off...

I had replaced my thinkware F50 for this and so far so good. I haven’t really had it for that long to really give it 5 stars but again so far so good. I don’t really care so much for the LCD screen for any dash cam for that matter. The suction cup is cool because you can remove it and use it to any car unlike the F50 I had which left a little sticky mess on my windshield when I tried taking it off.

The quality of the camera is great and it is able to capture the entire front of the car 180 degrees, the G sensor is on point, it detects if the car is hit and starts recording and locks the recording meaning it won’t erase and you’ll be able to view the recording.. A huge con is the battery never seems to be charged? It has to be connected to power the whole time you drive or it dies and powers off, another con is the date and time has to be programmed every single day and I’ve had this device for a good 5 months... as far as the installation it was so easy! Just read your manual or else it won’t make sense and you wouldn’t know how to operate the device.. I haven’t seen the night vision in action so I’m not too sure how that is.. it states it has lane departure? But I’ve never seen it in action, I really don’t think it works? Because my car has lane departure, not a bad driver but it has alerted me a couple times and the device didn’t For $100 maybe it’s worth it but $180 is too pricey for the “features” it so call has.. overall I’d rather get a cheaper device, it’s not worth it... I would’ve returned it but too late and it does what it’s supposed to anyway

This is a nice dash cam, but since I have Subaru Forester I had to order a rear view mirror mount since nothing can be suctioned to the dash or windshield. Installation went very smoothly at Best Buy. Camera is good and will accept up a 128 gb SD card. The negatives: Red light around camera is annoying and makes it obvious. Supposedly it is to prevent theft but I think it invites it. Pricey considering other dash cams, however I got this one because I had a credit at Best Buy that covered much of the cost and it took a big SD card. I also like the larger screen.

This dash cam is nice but not perfect. The instructions are lacking info. I can't get the audio to work and sometimes it doesn't record when I want it to. It has a wide frame and good picture. I just wish it were a little more user friendly.

Quality video. Sturdy well made camera. Adjusting settings is a bit awkward due to the buttons on the bottom being small. Operator manual is out of date. Found this out after trying to make the initial set up when I called customer service. The red light around the camera lens is annoying.
