    Decent compact dashcam

    This is a nice basic compact and lightweight dashcam that doesn't block your field of vision. Its optics are reasonably sharp, and the screen is decent albeit small. I had hoped that the internal rechargeable battery would allow me to operate the dashcam as a cordless unit for at least a 1 hour commute. Unfortunately, it will only record for about 15-20 minutes on its internal battery, so you'll have to connect your power source for longer trips. I wish it would continue to run on the battery after you disconnect the power source (by default, it powers off in 15 seconds when you turn off the engine). Upon mounting the suction cup to the dash for the first time, it immediately broke as I turned the locking ring. I e-mailed the manufacturer directly and they sent over a new mounting kit in about a week. The replacement has worked fine.

      Hi Kylerobert05,

      I am sorry to hear that there was a misunderstanding that this was a standalone unit, the dashcam does indeed need to be plugged into a power source at all times you'd like to use the dashcam. You also have the option of powering the dashcam using a power bank if need be. Thank you for sharing your product review. Please feel free to contact us via [email protected] with your Best Buy invoice, we will always be more than happy to assist you.

    This is a nice device, but I wish it had an internal battery so I don't have a cord hanging down. It does record well and has great video quality.

    The camera is nice and easy to use, however, I had to ask for a replacement immediately upon opening. It makes clicking sounds which are even louder upon playing a recording.

    It stopped working after a week. It's made of cheap plastic and the suction even broke. You get what you pay for.

    Already had a Nextbase camera with GPS but thought I'd try this one for the other car because it's cheaper. Nowhere near the quality, features or ease of use than the Nextbase 322GW. Never could get the MPH to show up on the recordings although it would show up on the screen. The latitude & longitude would show up in the recordings but no GPS. Took it back to the store & bought another Nextbase. Cost more but so worth it...
