    The video is very good after i figured out how to stabilize camera when moving. Better instructions on how to use different functions would be nice,

    $200 Piece of Plastic- Simply Awful

    I very rarely write reviews- I'll typically only write a review if an item far exceeded my expectations or if an item is so bad that I feel like I have an obligation to warn fellow shoppers. Unfortunately, the Escort-M2 falls into the latter scenario. This dash cam (for me, at least) is 100% unusable. For $200 I would expect a dash cam that is at or near the "top of the list" compared to other dash cams in terms of features, connectivity, support, and so on... Personally, I'm surprised they even decided to put this thing out on the market- it's that bad! It legit will not connect to the Drive Smarter app and since there's no physical screen on the dash cam it means there's no way to view any videos or adjust any settings. I tried to connect it for over an hour and it didn't connect once, so I gave up and decided to try again later. Several hours later I tried again for 45min and again, it didn't connect a single time... I tried to contact Escort for support but I couldn't get through and the phone would just disconnect. This is the product and support that you provide for a $200 dash cam? For $200 you'd expect a product that allows you to set it up, access your videos, adjust settings, access support, & so on... But, this Escort dash cam doesn't even warrant a price tag of $20 (and that's not an exaggeration). There are several other dash cams on the market for significantly less money that will actually do what they say. If I were Best Buy I would stop selling this product until they make it functional, because as it stands now it's just a $200 piece of plastic and, to make matters worse, Escort provides no support... Needless to say, this thing will be returned tomorrow. FYI- I have an iPhone 13 Pro w/ the most recent iOS software and the most recent Drive Smarter app downloaded. Maybe you'll have a better/different experience with a different phone, but I doubt it considering I'm using the new iPhone.

    The idea is great, camera thoughtfully attached to detector. . . Execution is just bad. Bad enough it is expensive for what it is supposed to do, the Tech is behind (no 4K, etc) but it’s that the integration is not there (app and features don’t work and are just far behind market). Really is too bad, I was excited about this item and extremely disappointed. Love the radar and just hate their camera.

      Thank you for your valuable feedback. The M2 records in Full HD 1080p, providing clear resolution, and we want to make sure you’re getting the best experience with it. If you’re having trouble with the Drive Smarter app, please check that both the camera and app are updated to the latest versions, and that the camera is paired under the Devices tab in the app menu. If you still need help, give us a call at 800-543-1608. We’re happy to walk you through some troubleshooting steps and get everything working smoothly. cedarelectronics-escort

    I have an Escort max 360 radar detector and wanted to add a dash cam. Escorts M2 was the perfect solution for me. Setup was incredibly easy.Once setup, you're done.

    Great product for only $200.. however now that 8k is available I’m shocked the new M2 version didn’t come with at least the 4K version instead of the 1080p. Makes no sense! Besides that it does it’s job.
