“Why is this listed as a 4K camera (3840 x 2160 - 8 million pixels) when it uses a 5MP image sensor. It's not really 4K video - they are just using software to make the files the correct resolution at the expense of "real 4K" video quality.”

Hello! This is a great question as the megapixels is related to the output it can make as far as resolution. The label of a camera as "4K" typically refers to its ability to output video at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. While it’s true that the image sensor's resolution is an important factor in video quality, many cameras can utilize advanced processing techniques to upscale or enhance video. This makes sense in situations like for a dashcam for example. In this case, the 5MP image sensor is designed to produce 4K video through digital processing, which may include techniques like interpolation. While this approach can achieve the desired resolution, it might not match the quality of video captured by cameras with native 4K sensors. After all, a native 4K camera may yield many times the size of a video an optimized/upscaled resolution while retaining more or less the same grade of quality. We encourage you to consider both the specifications and the intended use when evaluating video quality for your needs.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a cheaper model dash camera. They will be doing some technical fudging in order to make it technically meet the claimed specs.
