Best little investment I ever made. I had a car accident last Tuesday. Other driver was at fault and tried to argue with me. All I said was let's exchange info and your insurance can argue with my dash cam video. Submitted the file to the insurance claim and the other guy's insurance accepted full liability within 2 two days. Video quality was amazing

[@JuanCamacho21]

So glad it worked for you in this situation.

[@SoraqaMalik]

@pdq NO, any good dash cam must have a lock feature where it locks the moment of the collision and does not override it.

[@taton5]

No police report?

[@orochikaiba]

@@taton5 police told me that unless the vehicle(s) is immobile and/or someone was hurt that they were not coming out for "just" a crash.

[@orochikaiba]

@@taton5 one thing I forgot to mention was that also because of the video my deductible fee was waived and they went for it out of the other guy's insurance. Which made me super happy

I’m glad I found your video review on this DC However 5:01 I was feeling anxiety watching you place the camera on the windshield without ......... 5:26 doing this exactly 👍🏽 I have the same dash cam but haven’t actually activated it . (I just have it on my windshield so people can think it’s on )😬 but not used it yet, watching your video gave me a push into actually activating it and using it. It’s a good quality dash cam for it’s price and functionality.

[@JuanCamacho21]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@snowbros5640]

does it alert you when it’s not recording?

[@Xenoyer]

Thanks for the video review, and the laugh. I laughed too when the cam fell off. I am looking for a good dash cam for my car because of bad interactions with the local police. I want to make sure that there is a record of any future interactions.👍

[@JuanCamacho21]

Glad you enjoyed

[@SohailKhan-gi4vx]

Nice video! One question about installation. Did you install the back camera later? How difficult is it?

[@JuanCamacho21]

No I haven't done that yet

[@atrevetehazloyaprende]

Saludos y bendiciones Juan, pero yo quería ver como se instalaba completamente, cables y cámara trasera, lo que dijiste en este video, YA LO SABÍA. 😔😔😔

[@randymiller3949]

I've been wanting a dash-cam that wouldn't break the bank...I saw good reviews & a good video on KZbin, so... Just bought this dash-cam at my local Wal-Mart here in Mobile Alabama for $37.99. I had to go back & buy the Mini SD card for $15.99...I thought it came with the dadh-cam...but I was wrong. Set up was easy...that's good because I'm not very "Tech-Savvy". We'll see how it does. Much love from Mobile Alabama.

[@JuanCamacho21]

Glad it was helpful

[@Elwooddudes]

This cheap/great quality little camera saved me a couple of years back! Someone wrote my van off by hitting the rear frame! They said they didn’t even hit me…. Luckily I had the front camera installed a couple of week before! The combination of this and a few witnesses helped me claim money 👍🏼 Pity I didn’t have the rear camera fitted…. Not sure if it can go on the outside of my van at rear? I’m hoping it’s waterproof?! Anyone know? I want the rear camera installed for sure now. Great piece of kit even now!

[@felixchen220]

I have a question and I hope u can answer it… whenever I keep it charging aka when I turn on my car, the camera turns on but it’s stuck in a boot loop of the logo, and I can never see the 2 cameras on the small screen. Idk why that’s happening

[@jameskirkwood1305]

What about the rear camera? How is that wired up??

[@pc14thenumber9]

Good video but music is too loud at 3:14. Thank you again for doing the review of this product.

Sorry about that. I have been ditching the music in my new videos.

So I've recently purchased this but it's not available on Amazon anymore. I'm trying to use a 128gb SD card but I'm not sure which format it uses. It currently informs me to format the SD card

Google what’s a good sd card for it. I know for a garmin it specifically said what type of sd card works best for it. Speed and etc!

[@mrbeanz6451]

Check compatibility .you need a class 10 or the newer equivalent. I have brought a 64gb for mine and works fine. It's possible some devices do not work with her higher memory capacity so check spec

[@lukecleaver7462]

It's recommended to use class 10 and it needs to be formated to fat32 before use in case u didn't know

[@willitine]

Hi do you know if it still saves recordings if I accidentally turned it off while on pause mode? Thanks!

[@joshuamoore24_7]

The dash cam companies need include a preprogrammed SD card with dash cam or a device & SD card for the consumer to use to program it from a computer. I took my C420 because it does t include a programmed SD card. Plus the camera should be a way to program an SD card!

There is a ( Parking Mode ) in the menu that you have to turn on and if it detects any movement or vibration it will turn on automatically. Hope this helps.
