Don't waste your money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for. This camera was cheap in cost and in quality. The first one I received lost it's mind within one day, starting and stopping recording randomly with no control buttons working. I took it back to Best Buy and they gave me another one. This one worked fine for about two weeks and now it's gone brain dead. I'm not returning it again. I'll take my loss as a lesson. You get what you pay for.

Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works I guess. It takes too short clips. Usually under an hour. This product needs to be able to record for hours. Not enough max storage capacity at 32g.

worked for about two hours
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.about 2 or 3 minutes after the unit powers on and starts recording it just freezes up and becomes unresponsive and I have to remove all power and hard reset it. after following all directions on unidens website and in the printed manual for correcting this issue it continues to happen. with no foreseeable way of fixing this problem the camera is completely useless

Stopped working after 60 days
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this dash cam for about 2 months and it all of a sudden stopped working. The cam would power on and show the logo on the loading screen. Then after about 5-10 seconds it would look like someone smashed the screen of the cam.... too bad it's past the 30 day mark or i would have just returned it.

It would record a couple seconds of video and then stop recording then start again. Tried to take it back but the store would not take it. Even if you think you should buy it, PLEASE DO NOT BUY.

Be wary of this product. Not recommended.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera locked up after a day and a half of use. Best Buy was kind enough to offer to exchange it. We'll see how long the replacement lasts. Apparently the product has a history of problems. Steer clear.

Crappy Dashcam!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 3 of these and all 3 started freezing like crazy! When the first once started freezing after the first month, I thought it was just a defective one. But one after another they started freezing. Don’t buy!

Delivered broken
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Geek Squad team is great! I hooked up the dash cam to my pc and through the remote hook-up, the squad determined that the camera was delivered broken. The Best Buy Tech Service Plan definitely is the way to go!

It Only Worked For A While
