I travel a lot, and you just never know what can happen! This cam is great, and the quality at night is even greater when you turn on your headlights. It captures a clear video.

I bought this camera to test out to see if I really wanted a dash cam. So far i have enjoyed it. For the price I really can't complain. I just recently captured my first accident and was able to provide video to the insurance company. So far I am pleased with the investment.

Got during pre Black Friday deals. Works pretty good. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to set and track the gps feature.

Installed in Chevrolet Volt. Works very well and has a wide view that includes the width of the visible windshield, and of course, what’s outside. Can discern license plates in stored footage. Using a 64GB SD card.
Downside is that, on occasion, hot windshield causes suction of holder to lose grip and “fall” off windshield. It only falls an inch or two because the charging cable holds it (the cable is routed through the headliner so only the “slack” gets taken up).
Upside is, we’re protected with video of events occurring in front if us. Like insurance, I hope to never need to use it because of a crash.

This is the first dash cam I have used that has GPS built in, which includes some cool features like displaying your speed, setting speed warnings, geotagging fixed speed traps/red light cameras, etc. I also like the motion detector feature, that will record a short video any time that motion is detected in it’s camera range. Easy setup and operation. Hopefully it will last longer that my last two dash cams...would highly recommend purchasing protection plan, as this was used to replace my last two dash cams that died.

Great dynamic range on video and really good sound quality. The only thing I don't like is that the power button is so small I have to use a pointy object (I use a pencil) to power down.

I bought this for my tractor trailer. Unfortunately, the g-force sensor is extremely sensitive even on the lowest of it's 3 settings, and would automatically record as an "event" after almost every bump. I can manually push the "event" button as long as it's within the current recording (I have it set to 5 minute segments) to save it from being recorded over. Unfortunately, if I don't catch it before it begins the next segment, there's no way to go back and protect it. I can review it until it runs out of space and records over it, but I wish I could manually protect segments that have already recorded. I upgraded to a 32gb memory card (largest this camera will handle), and it gets between 4 and 5 hours on the highest resolution setting. Not quite enough to continue filming before I can upload it to my laptop at the end of the day if I need to save a segment I couldn't protect. Otherwise, very WIDE angle, sees a lot. Bracket doesn't wiggle or move going down the road, so it feels very secure. Records speed as well as sound, but you can change these in the settings. I'm pretty happy with it so far besides what I mentioned above.

I found out I can’t change the date format, and the time never seems to be current no matter how many times i change it.
I’ve had to reattach to windshield twice since buying it. There should be a better method.
The manual should have better explanations of unit functions.

PLUS: It is easy to setup. The video quality is excellent.
MINUS: There is a camera detection feature that is poorly documented. The camera detects other cameras but it isn't clear what the purpose is for this or how to turn it off.

The camera is fairly simple to use with a lot of features. The "accident" detection is a bit sensitive, and it tends to record in "emergency" mode a lot while traveling on bumpy roads. It's easy enough to stop it and start recording normally again. I really like the video quality, and I am somewhat of a photography buff. I bought it on clearance for $104, and I think it is an excellent camera for the price. The mount is not bad either - the suction cup adheres to the windshield well, and I have not had an issue yet.
