    Pro: small, Hi-res. Con: very cheap quality, broke after few weeks (less than three months); broke as in the camera sensors did not capture proper colors anymore and night vision was gone soon too. Waste of money :-(

    Grainy video and not worth the price

    I purchased this product from Best Buy in hopes that it would be decent enough video in case I was in an accident. The price point was $61.99 but its not worth that. It comes with an 8GB SD card which gives you about 30-45 minutes of recording. It creates multiple 10 minute videos that are 1.5 gbs each. It can be upgraded to a 32GB SD card which is basically a must. Menu was difficult to navigate. Really not user friendly and would be absolutely impossible to change any settings while driving. Would immediately cause an accident.....but you wouldn't be able to go back and watch it because the video looks like its in 120p. It's incredibly poor quality. Sound is amazing but the video in "1080p" looks terrible. If you are going to buy a dash cam, spend an extra $50-100 and get one that would actually have video you could watch.

    Garbage

    I should've heeded the bad reviews and save myself time and money. I'm extremely disappointed and angry with this product. It worked for the first day, now it continuously freezes and stops recording which kind of defeats the purpose of the device in the first place. I will be returning this to the store! Do yourself a favor, don't buy this!

    This device has a steep learning curve

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had this camera for more than 6 months, and I have been frustrated by the seeming illogic of the device. I have "erased" all at least six times, and have the camera set on loop record, and ten minutes later I get the message "card full". I tried buying a "bigger" card only to find out I "overpowered" the device. I guess the next step is to go to my friendly BestBuy and pitch it in the recycle bin and buy something else. P.S. I tried going to the Uniden site, but I regret I don't speak or read Korean. I guess I pitched out the owners manual with the trash. It's too bad because I had thought Uniden was a highly rated company.

    I've had $200 dash cams before. The picture quality on this isn't as good especially in dark. But even my $200 dash cam quit after a while. This one at $40 is pretty good. I don't think it's worth more than that. At least it has lasted longer than my $200 one.

    Simple. Go to their website download the update for it and the video viewer program. Very good during the day not to much at night. I have LED headlights so decent viewing but not amaxing... Talks to you so that's cool. Golds 32 GB which you'll need because it only holds like two days of driving. The "accident" sensor that saves video when its activated oa very touchy. I live in Ohio so lots and lots of bumps and it'll go off a lot.

    Good Deal for a Dash Cam

    I got this camera for $49.99 and I am not regretted for this purchase. In these days, it is important to have a camera to prove your right during any accident occurred.

    I bought it 1-22-16 on 2-5-16 I can not turn it off. It is like the button is broken inside. Before that I connected to the computer once it was like 15 three minute videos was the whole 8gb memory. I will never buy anything with the name Uniden again.

    Break my ac relay..

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    At the first day, it shows internal memory error. Then the black screen issue came up. Then followed by freeze screen with loud noise(see picture), this time it also breaks my 2012 toyota ac relay(immediately after the freeze, my ac switch light started blinking).. It costs me $50 for an OEM new relay.... This is totally insane.. I will definitely keep away with this brand.

    Not Impressed

    Page 9 of owners manual states "A compatible microSD card (not supplied) is required to record and store videos and photos. The unit can support microSDHC cards (High Capacity SD) up to 3". But wait! Website says it's included. So? I'll let you figure it out. Menu was hard to navigate. Unit barely fit in mounting bracket. Settings kept going back to default when unit was off. I'm not a "technical" guy, but I thought I could figure out 6 buttons. Shame on me. Guess I'll go get myself a jitterbug.

    This unit is worthless

    I gave this to my husband for Christmas 2015. It has already failed - only records a black screen now. He has only used it a few times and now I discover that it never held the correct date. I spend several days on hold for more than 45 minutes each to get through, and now Uniden won't stand behind its product because it is now one year old. I ordered it Nov 23rd - it failed exactly one year from the date that I purchased it, so that is the date they conveniently use, even though it was shipped Nov 25th and I did not have it in my possession until 3 days later; it was not out of the box for 30 days after that. Stay away from this product even if you think it is a good deal because it won't last and the company is not helpful.

    A waste of a lot of money

    Paid $90 for the camera and card. It didn't work so the store gave me another on. After getting it ready for a cross country trip and it didn't work I purchased another camera from another company that worked fine. I returned it to the store at my destination and they said too late. All I could do was tell them to throw it in the garbage.

    I've tried 4 different dash cams. This is the worst. Failed after 10 minutes. Very poor construction. Difficult to get sd card in and out of slot. Thanks.

    I bought two of these cameras, have them for 8 months and both are freezeing, I need to unplug them and connect them again, I set loop recording to 5 minutes but the recording stats every 10 seconds, and the recording stops with no reason frequently.
