Absolutely GREAT product and fast shipping. Clear picture and easy installation!

It is better now compare it with the 1st one i bought

I was a HUGE pioneer fan in my younger days. I installed so many pioneer head units in cars in high school... I digress. This product is a little different, and rightfully so for modern times. Everyone should consider a dashcam in their vehicle. It's like a little lie detector in case someone wants to blame you for something, and we all know how litigious 2022 can be. This product seemed well made. I was torn on the screen size, I wanted it to be bigger, or smaller, but the in between seems to work okay. The install kit came with everything needed, and the cable was plenty long to get to the rear of my medium sized SUV. After the install I powered it up and started driving. Then I wanted to review the footage, and that's where we went off the rails a little. I was honestly surprised when I couldn't find an app, and some googling/manual reading revealed I'd have to remove the card and go old-school into my laptop to look at it. This bums me out big time. At this price point they should have sprung for bluetooth or wifi, over the extras in the install kit, or the 2nd rear camera, in lieu of skipping wireless connectivity. I did notice that it has a feature to lock the video on the card in the camera when it detects a crash/sudden change in movement, and the built in GPS is also useful to display vehicle metrics when you're looking at the video.... on your laptop. Hopefully this is just a version 1, and version 2 solves all the world's problems. A note on Pioneer, they went kind of quiet for a while, and I was worried that they were going the "polaroid" route of selling/licensing their name brand. The build of this unit is in keeping with what I'm used to from past Pioneer Plasma TVs and higher end head units. I couldn't get past the lack of viewing/sharing on my phone however.

The Pioneer dash camera is a great choice for both front and rear video coverage. Included in the box is the main unit, rear camera, mounting bracket, power cable, rear camera cable, and 16gb microSD card. A quick start guide and cleaning wipes are included as well. Main unit features a 3” screen, along with a slim form factor and light weight. Rear camera is small, allowing it to be mounted with little visual footprint. 135-degree field of view on front camera and 128-degree field of view on rear camera allow for wide views of the road. Installation was quick and very simple. Front mounting bracket and rear camera attach with strong 3M adhesive. Mounting bracket and rear camera only adjust tilt. This allows for a simpler mechanism and was no issue adjusting the camera. 13’ power cable plugs into the mounting bracket, and the front camera clips into the bracket. 20’ rear cable has plenty of length for most cars and plugs into the front camera unit. Note that without the rear camera installed, the front unit periodically displays a visual and auditory warming, should be an option to turn off the warning. To view footage off the Dash Cam, one must either playback the video through the camera itself or obtain the video from the microSD card. Absence of app connectivity may inconvenience those without access to an SD card reader and those who want easy access to footage on mobile devices. Video quality is decent from the 1440p front camera. The smaller, 1080p rear camera has a lesser video quality. Sony’s image sensors with STARVIS technology allow for high-fidelity nighttime recordings. Date, time, location, and speed are all stamped onto each recording. Controls are intuitive and simple. Menu, mute, and change view buttons. Recording settings, system settings, and files are available in the menu. Overall, the Pioneer dash cam is a good choice for straightforward recording.

My new Pioneer dash cam it works decently I feel it should have better features like truly wireless I hated having to figure out wiring to install rear camera avoiding side airbags tires going straight up the middle of the roof & up & around doors the wire showing honestly drives me crazy looks so sloppy. Wish it had a remote & touch screen, also to reach the SD card was kinda weird. Picture quality is decent but not if the other vehicle is to close has to be about 5-6 feet away. So if your in an accident hope it picks up before the other car gets to close. And it requires another kit to keep recording non stop like over night. A 16 GB SD card is included, cigarette lighter charger is included, has wide angle recording also has gps records location, speed & time if there’s an accident it records & keeps in a separate folder. Also comes with quick start guide for camera placement even though I had to adjust position a little to make it more visible to see the screen if I wanted to. It’s okay for a basic dash & rear cameras comes with the wires & mounting brackets.

I used this for moving from Ohio To Florida recently and it worked just like expected, but in this range it needs more. Setup is super easy, no apps or anything, just choose your mount, insert the included SD Card, connect the charger and off you go. This is also part of the problem with this setup At 1440p it should be an excellent picture, it's decent at best, I found myself feeling somewhat disappointed. The rear camera is of similar quality. The cable to use the rear camera is really long making it easy to setup in most vehicles. It's a very basic dashcam and for a first time user that's ideal but in this range I expected more. No app for added options, no built in battery so no power = no recording. 1440p doesn't look like 1440p. No touchscreen and the controls are awkward. They are placed on the right of the camera which doesn't sound an issue but it's not natural and you have to take your eyes off the road to change anything. Overall a decent basic camera but missing many features that it really shouldnt

Great clarity 1440p (2560 x 1440) front facing camera and 1080p (1920 x 1080) rear facing camera. Camera features high dynamic range sensor to better capture fine light and dark details clearly. Front camera has 135 degree wide viewing angle and 128 degree wide viewing angle in the rear for nearly panoramic views and capture all of the surrounding events. System has GPS built in for geo-tracking and location purposes. The entire setup is easily powered through a 12 volt power adapter in your car or can be hardwired if you're a little more savvy with the installation. Comes with 16gb microSD card to get you started, can be easily upgraded with larger card size to be able to store more footage without downloading contents to a computer, but really not needed as recording the random driving occurrences isn’t important, you only need short spurts of camera footage for incidents and the system will loop back over old unneeded footage. It has a very simple and intuitive user interface and software, setup was quite easy and straight forward. The large three inch screen on the main front facing camera for viewing and programming features makes setup easy as well and excellent for watching back recordings on the fly as well as the live reverse camera feature. The set comes with everything needed for setup; front camera, rear camera, clip in/out mounting bracket for the front and solid adhesive mount for the rear camera (rear camera also easily rotates up and down for idea angle views) power cable with plug, extension data cable for connecting rear camera to the front camera/system – has plenty of length to reach the length of any vehicle, I installed this in a Yukon XL and no problems.

The Panasonic WREC-DH300D is a nice camera. I had some challenges with installation. Probably more user issue than product issue, but it does affect my review. You have to run the cord to the back camera from the front camera and it’s a lot of wire to try to tuck away. I have an older Ford Edge. The cord would not tuck up into the trim above the windshield, so it does hang down a bit. I may end up getting some Command strips to see if I make the cord less visible. I’m not usually the passenger in the car, but I imagine it would be annoying to have the cord in my line of vision. I was able to run the cord up through the trim around the rest of the car to the back window. However, I have a large amount of cord left over that I don’t know what to do with. It’s in the way of the cargo area. Again, I may end up getting some strips so I can tuck it against the wall of the cargo area. I followed the directions carefully as to where to place the cameras. It recommended putting the front camera behind the rearview mirror on the right side. This is annoying to me because I cannot see the screen unless I move the mirror. Even then, I have to duck my head a bit to see it. I understand that you wouldn’t want this to distract you while you are driving, but I have other dash cams that didn’t call for that and it wasn’t a problem. The rear camera, though, was broadcasting the image upside down. I have no idea why that occurred. Fortunately, I was able to go into the settings and flip the image so now it appears right side up. I am wondering, though, why this unit could not have a Bluetooth option to be able to access the camera on your phone. It is a good camera overall. Images are clear. The sensor comes on whenever I hit a rumble strip (construction) or my windshield wipers scrape a dry window. I would recommend the camera. Just be aware that it will come with a LOT of cable to deal with (both charger and for the rear camera) and to make sure the rear camera image is not upside down.

I decided it was time to invest in a proper dash cam setup because frankly, people cant drive these days. Nice kit here from Pioneer for those looking for a good quality dash cam setup. This system includes both front and rear cameras for better coverage. This does make the installation a little more daunting to achieve a clean installation, especially if you haven't done much car stereo work in the past. They do also sell a hardwire kit at an additional cost. If you add the hardwire kit you can configure the camera to keep recording after the vehicle is shut off, nice if you live in apartments or have to park outside. Front camera is 1440P wide angle and the rear is 1080p wide angle. Both cameras record at 30fps, and video quality is solid from both cameras. Has other features that you would want on a dash cam as well such as GPS and a g-force sensor. The software is supposed to automatically categorize videos if a impact is detected so it is easy to find, luckily I have not had to utilize this feature yet. A 16GB microSD card is included to get you started, can of course be upgraded to something larger if desired. Overall this system includes everything you need to get up and running with front and rear dashcams, and Pioneer has typically proven to be a good quality brand. I am happy so far, would recommend to a friend.

The Pioneer VREC-DH300D dash cam comes in a kit with a front camera (1440p) and rear camera (1080p). If you ever need proof of what happened during an incident, this no-frills camera will do the trick. PROs • Decent image quality. • Rear camera includes very long extension cord that should work for even large vehicles. • Rear camera TRRS jack is straight, making it easier to snake the cable through the wiring hose of SUVs and hatchbacks. I have another dash cam whose rear camera jack is an elbow joint that was too difficult to deal snake, and so left unused. • Front camera is easy to remove from the mount. • 16GB micro-SD card and SD card adapter are included. CONs • It’s not obvious if the rear camera can be installed with the cord in either direction. The documentation is not clear on this, as well as other features. • No plastic wedge included in the kit to help tuck in wires. Every other dash cam I’ve ever had included this. • No polarizer on front lens to adjust for reflections. • No app or player support. That means video files can’t be played with a map overlay. The GPS coordinates, however, are stamped on the video files. • 27fps recording is an odd design choice. Plenty of dash cams on the market with 1440p at 60fps, resulting in a less blurry image. • No touch screen. All the controls are on the right side of the camera, making it difficult to use from the drivers seat. • No image stabilization. • Dash cam does not have a built-in battery, so it can’t record any incidents with the car turned off. If you’re looking for a basic dash cam with a rear camera, this Pioneer model may fit the bill. But once you get a dash cam, you’ll likely want more features than what’s offered here.

From the moment you open the box, you'll see and feel the quality built from Pioneer. Package includes everything you'll need from the start (i.e., 16GB micro-SD and SD adapter and generous cable extension). While the features of this unit are very good for its price point... it does lack a few common features in other units. It does NOT have an internal battery, so if the car is off, the cameras are off (There is a $60 hardwire kit available from Pioneer (RD-HWK200)). For a 2K Front/1080p Back camera setup, I find the video quality to be below average. You can make out the details but it's still a bit grainy. I'm sure if the refresh rates were higher, it'll improve the quality and raise the price. And the lack of App support amazes me coming from a company like Pioneer. While it's not a big deal for me since they did make it easy to detach and attach the camera off the base. It might be bothersome to others who prefers a dedicated WIFI connection to download videos off the camera. While I did name "CONS", I can live with them since it does a good overall job for what I'm looking for in a dashcam. A simple, well-built front/rear camera setup to protection myself from all the crazies and liars on road now and days. 3.3/5. Thanks.

Just installed the Pioneer VREC-DH300D dash cam with front and rear cameras. The installation was pretty much the same as the one I use in my daily driver. The kit comes with everything you need to complete the installation. First thing is to try it out in a few different spots so that it doesn't interfere with the driver’s view or as in my daily driver, the black dots on the glass obscure some of the video. Once I decided where to mount the unit, I used the alcohol wipes to clean the glass for mounting. I then ran the cables to the rear camera under the headliner and the power cable upfront to an auxiliary power outlet I installed behind the dashboard, tapping into the existing cigarette lighter. Since I never use the lighter, tapping into the hot and ground shouldn’t affect it. After getting the unit installed, it was time to take it around the block. The camera works great, just like the one in my daily driver. It’s another brand, but pretty similar in features. One thing I like about the Pioneer is the large display. The resolution of up to 1440p (front cam) or 1080p (rear cam) makes many small objects visible on a PC. This old guy still has problems seeing such a small video, but it’s about twice as big as my other one. I typically take the SD card out and view it on a PC. That’s another thing I like about the Pioneer. The SD slot is all by itself and easy to remove the card from the side of the display. My other one is like that, but the power adapter plugs in next to it and the cable or plug always gets in my way. Nice job Pioneer! This unit also has a built-in GPS that records driving speeds. I like that because if you’re given a speeding ticket and you know you weren’t speeding, what recourse did you have back in the day. But now you have a recording of your trip, and it shows how fast you were going. Also, it has a 3-axis motion sensor that will record 20 seconds of video before and after an accident. What else? Well nice of Pioneer to include a microSD card. The wide-angle lens on both cameras records more than just front and back. It includes some side views too. Although I currently don’t have an RCA video input, the camera specification states that it is compatible with receivers that do. Specs also state it works with Android and iOS, but I was unable to locate an app with this model listed or a QR code on any of the sites I visited. All in all, this is a bit better than the one I currently use, but I didn’t want to uninstall it and then have to do 2 installs afterward. So, for now, they stay the way they are and I’m good with it. I like knowing I have some chance of capturing what happens in case of an accident or worse. I’d recommend this to any driver worried about getting hit and then having to prove who’s at fault down the road.

The Pioneer VREC-DH300D comes with everything you need to monitor your vehicle while on the road. You receive the front camera/controller, rear camera (with wired lead), all adhesives, a microSD card (16GB) as well as a cigarette power. Front camera has 135* viewing angle while the rear is a little less at 128*. Both cover plenty of space so long as you mount them centrally and don't have things on your dash or rearview mirror covering any areas you want monitors. There is also a STARVIS CMOS sensor for night/lowlight situations. This constantly adjusts to provide optimal video quality and the two times I have had my camera go off (g-force sensor activation both times) the night video was perfectly clear and crisp, all license plates in the clip were clear as day. As far as those sensors go, it is a 3-axis system with seven adjustments. This is helpful if you are a heavy braker or do a lot of stop n' go, you can alter it so that it isn't constantly going off. The unit also has built-in GPS for tracking the information and location of all your clips. At this price point to have both a front and rear camera included in the kit is amazing. The quality and amount of features packed into the controller is also astonishing considering this is really not all that much money, plus it is a Pioneer so you have that peace of mind, too. Easy recommendation for anyone looking to not break the bank while monitoring their daily commute, road trips, or vehicle while parked.

The Pioneer DH-300D has a lot going for it, with some caveats. The Pioneer has a really nice form factor, with a small monitor and front-facing camera and a small rear-facing camera. Both are designed to be mounted directly to the glass, and I saw no other reasonable way to mount them. The display fits nicely alongside the rear-view mirror and is about the same height as a standard mirror. Build quality is what you would expect from Pioneer, that is very solid. The glass mount will create a problem if you live in or drive through a state which prohibits mounting anything other than your mirror on the windshield (e.g., California), but for the rest of us it will work. If you live in a state where windshields need to be replaced frequently (e.g., Colorado) you will need additional glass mount glue or tape to reinstall it. Installation itself is a bit complex. While the wiring is simple enough, it requires some skill to hide all of the cables. You’ll want this professionally done to avoid having cables hanging through your passenger compartment. Our family owns a station wagon, a sedan, a hatchback, and a convertible. There was no way to mount the rear-facing camera in anything except the sedan. Mounting it in the wagon or hatchback required a length of cable left loose so that it did not pull off when the rear gate / hatch was opened, creating a hazard of extra cable hanging down when driving. Mounting it on the rear glass of the convertible was impossible, as it would crush the camera when the top was lowered. Once installed, the system works well. It displays and records crystal-clear images front and rear, and the included micro-SD card makes it easy to transfer videos to your PC. If you can live with the above caveats regarding local laws, installation, and vehicle type, then this is an excellent choice in a front/rear dash camera.

The various viewing angles available are great as it gives you a wide-option of angles to choose from and includes audio as a part of the recording. You can set “continuous recording” at variable time intervals and video format is “.mov” at H.246, meeting the most current industry standard in use. This utilizes less space while recording, but the unit is capable of supporting up to a 128GB SD card. Currently running a 64GB (class 10) card with no issues. While the unit did come with an SD card, it did not seem large enough for me and how often I road trip to be sure I caught the most. Powering the cameras is done via the “cigarette”/charger/accessory port on the vehicle and can be easily wired into the car if taken to a local specialist for install to hide the cables to provide a cleaner view. Setup is easy and use is easy; cabling may be the biggest issue in how to hide and route it if you do not have the unit installed by a specialist, for now it’s temp installed until I can have it professionally put in place. Maybe a 30-minute specialist install and will max out the SD card when this is done. The kit is designed to be easily installed and setup, with everything included in the packaging.

The rare camera does not work and by the time I had my son returned from college to help me install the cameras the refund policy at Best Buy expired. We tried unplugging and plugging it back and it still hasn’t worked and I bought the cameras to have the rare one.
