Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this and my husband loves it it caught someone that hit his car

Good video during the day. Nice and small. Great price for a Dashcam.

The camera works great so far. I wish the sales person new more about the product. It does not come with the cable for GPS which would show your location on a map when it recorded. It does not come with cable for parking mode which records while car is parked if it detects motion or vibration. Parking mode is why I bought it. $30 for parking mode cable.

We bought 2 of these for each of our cars. Fairly easy to install. Great, if all you need is video. If you want GPS, or want to hardwire you have to buy those accessories separate. Which was no big deal for us. Video seems to be pretty clear for 720p. Installs pretty easily on my Windows 8 laptop. We purchased a 32 GB sd card for more storage because it only comes with 8 GB card. We got it at a sale price so far they are good for what we need them for.

not what I was looking for..the sales associate made it look like a fantastic product when it wasn't in the end.

Unfortunately, I never even got a chance to view the video from this unit. It would turn on with a green light, but video folder was empty when I connected to computer. It is a very small and cheap dash cam compared to others, but at the very least should be expected to record video. Had to return and am still on the lookout for a dash cam that works reliably.

I really wanted a simple to use dash cam. This does not have the features I wanted.

dont waste your money very unhappy with this product.

This item is suck, I wouldn't recommend to anybody

This dash cam is a good performer in day time conditions, however the night time performance is an F, make it F-. You can't even make out details, you would need such bright lights other drivers on the road would be blinded just so the video would work. You see spots that are light sources, but everywhere else is black. The dashcam comes with a 8GB micro SD card, 2 different adapters one a microSD to SD Card adapter, and a usb adapter that accepts the microSD card directly. The MicroSD card comes with all the software you need to view your files. The program installs on your computer in moments. The cam uses a proprietary video recording file that cannot be seen (probably just hidden) but only viewed and exported on the Video Viewing software. You can change the setting for the cam through this software that saves it to file that is loaded by the dashcam when it is powered on. By default the cam records in 1 minute segments and cannot be changed. The default (middle) sensitivity is still rather sensitive, the setting is either low, middle, or high. You can turn off the mic if you don't want to record the ambient sounds while your driving. Mounting is relatively simple, however the mount is very basic. Make absolutely certain you have it oriented level and where you want it as once it's on the windshield it stays! I was ever so slightly out of level and it will not move. However this does not impact what is seen that much, it's just not quite there. This cam support GPS antenna, but doesn't come with one. One can be ordered though. The cam also comes with power adapter and cord long enough to be routed to your power adapter port. In conclusion i feel this dash cam is way overpriced for it's performance alone. I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives that offer the features and similar performance. For the money I would have expected a slightly better sensor that does better at night.

Doesn't work reliably. Camera will not take bigger SD card. Records in one minute segments. The video quality is not that good. For $80 there are far better options. The voice it has is really annoying. Whenever there is a problem with the SD card it won't shut up. Constantly complains and then reboots and then complains etc... I will be purchasing a different camera ASAP.

Camera works as advertised and it is very reliable. My only complaint is, this camera needs a proprietary software to watch and/or save the videos. This means, videos are not recorded on a standard format that any video editing software can read. There is a way to convert videos to a standard format but that didn't work for me. I contacted customer service and they said they will work on this issue in the future.

Installation of the H50 was a breeze. The charging cable was just right in length (I want to say it was 13-14 ft) so that I was able to hide the cable out of complete eye sight and plugged into a hidden cigarette lighter port. Picture quality seems very good as well, with a great field of view. For the price this makes a great dashcam that is small yet very well made.

I've been looking around for a camera for a while doing some research and decided to go with this one. Is super easy to set up great picture the only thing that took me a while was viewing the video I had to go to the manufacturer website to download other than that is great. I am thinking of hardwiring it let's see how that goes

I am extremely disappointed in the product. 1. The sales representative at BestBuy was completely misinformed or ignorant about the product (she said it had a battery). 2. The package was factory sealed and encased in a security wrap so I could not look at the product until after I purchased it. 3. There is absolutely no way to conceal the power wire in a Mercedes Benz. 4. With my other dash cams (and I have several) I can charge the unit at night in the garage, remove the cord when I leave. The battery will operate the camera all day in driving AND parking mode and I recharge it again each night.

This is a great item. I feel secure knowing it is recording.

The video recorded by the Thinkware H50 was great when I first purchased this dash cam. Unfortunately after less than a year of use, the video being recorded is choppy at best with a lot of artifacts and ghosting affecting all recordings. The video sometimes cuts out altogether. I have tried using new memory cards and I always purchase the Class 10 professional cards made for recording video. The manufacturer has not offered a single firmware update for the H50 and doesn't seem likely to in the future. The software needed to watch or convert the video does not allow for the videos to be deleted and formatting in the unit doesn't even delete the old recordings. Setting the time and date is useless as each time I have tried, the unit seems to default to sometime in 2012. I am greatly disappointed in the rapid degradation of this little dash cam and will not consider this brand in the future. I guess for $50, you get what you pay for.

Good dashcam; however, occasionally purges video..

Bought it after reading so many glowing reviews but I ended up returning it for two reasons-1) image quality, especially at night, is terrible and 2) there's a really annoying and LOUD greeting on startup that can't be disabled.
