[@TrojanMars1]

One thing is for it to have clear video, but another thing is of what it produces is useful as in capturing clear license plates. Which from your sample footage it did not.

[@atlanshg1357]

Can we connect it with the car's infotainment system?

[@ALLICHTelectrotechniek]

Perfect.

[@Luiblonc]

Nice video Matt, I just received my Omni came yesterday and looking to install the 4G kit. You should do a video on the steps to do this, and the set-up of the simcard etc.

[@Sonny15-215]

Reading comments seems like 4G still unavailable in the U.S . You can’t use the features the hardwire gives AI motion detection, no real time monitoring,no insta App alert We’re paying exactly the same but not get same features, we believe its a ripoff.

[@priestlybride]

I may return my whole setup. My kit comes tomorrow. Not really liking the dash cam part either. For the price not any thing to write home about. Feel the system is not robust. Does not do what it says it can do on a consistent basis.

[@cmd8086]

I have it with 4G kit installed, it is very easy to set up, just put a nano SIM in the tray and through the app you set it to recognize the module. It got all the carrier settings automatically. I'm going with Brazilian carrier Vivo, and I know people that are going with Claro. No issues at all (although stores say it isn't available in Brazil).

[@hbharrison1984]

How is it in the cold? As in Canada cold lol

[@BW12149]

I just installed one in my pickup. If you set it up correctly, the recordings are clear. It’s voice operated and will turn 180 degrees and look behind. When parked it monitors the whole vehicle by sensing motion and movement. You can take stills and recording by voice command. Once it’s connected to power, ground and accessory it stays monitoring. The amp draw is very small and won’t draw down battery. If you’re concerned about battery draw just unplug it.

[@priestlybride]

Do you need the UP03 kit if you want to use night and day surveillance while the car is parked? Just wondering due to you saying that the battery draw was a small. I need surveillance mainly. Not sure how I feel about having a dash cam. Never considered it until now. It is the surveillance that I need first and foremost. Someone may be targeting my brand new car.😳

[@BW12149]

@@priestlybride I did get the kit that makes the connection permanent. You’ll need to identify 12vdc power and ground, and a power supply that is connected to the ignition switch. When the vehicle is parked and not running the camera records movement around it. When the car is started the camera powers up for recording while moving. You can review what the camera has seen and download the video to your smartphone.

[@priestlybride]

@@BW12149 Thank you! Will keep you posted.

[@chrisgraham2904]

[@wanderpete9904]

How does it detect rear collisions if it is facing front? Does it detect before impact and camera spins automatically?

[@zulazmi493]

Nice question im waiting for the answer...😂

[@Mr2pint]

[@UltraDoug]

Is there a monthly/yearly cloud service charge to access footage beyond the local storage?

[@mattgonzalez]

No, there isn't. But I believe a future model will have LTE connectivity

[@digitalparadigms]

@@mattgonzalez Yes, this hasn't been made clear in regards to NA.

[@1fishinghuman208]

With plastic parts, how long will it work sitting in the hottest place on the dashboard before it melts, warps and dies.? Probably not too long here in Florida.

[@Sonny15-215]

Imagine in Las Vegas NV 113 F every day on summer,Colorado,etc

[@chrisgraham2904]

It has a back up lithium ion battery, rather than a capacitor, so battery failure under extreme temperature conditions is a definite issue. If it's even close to 100 deg. F outside, the car interior can reach 140 to 160 deg. F. Here in Canada, they also fail when temperatures drop to minus 40 deg. F.

[@THEOFFICIALNRG504]

In parking mode does it monitor the vehicle completly front and back? Will this require a rear camera .Thanks for the video!

[@dan23haslin25]

YEs , I would like to find this out as well -thx

[@imbalancedstatus8824]

No. This monitor where the camera is pointing..that's is it

[@sheppardpat47]

When in parking, the dashcam will turn on if the car has been hit, and it will turn around 360° until it finds something unusual (another car moving, or an human with suspicious behaviour)

[@cmd8086]

@@sheppardpat47that's true, but it takes a while for the camera to scan the whole car.

[@chrisgraham2904]

If your car is parked with the camera facing forward and someone approaches from the front, the camera should use motion recognition to identify the person's presence and then should track them if they move to the back of your vehicle. If the camera is facing forward and someone approaches from the rear, it will not detect them. If someone or something bumps the car from the rear, the camera should swivel to film the rear. If you park in a garage, with your vehicle facing the back wall of your garage, you can rotate the camera to the rear position before leaving your car. If someone then opens your garage door and approaches from the rear, the camera should see them. Notice that I said "should" several times. lol.

[@kathyfann]

Mine only videos for about a minute and cuts off so it’s not showing anything as it goes down the road and furthermore, it requires Wi-Fi in the car or a hotspot on my phone and it only works when the phone is hooked up or in the car with the Wi-Fi so if you go into the restaurant you take your phone turn off your car how in the world is it gonna monitor any security like it says it monitors for an hour it does not

[@R3YVAH]

can I use it with a power bank for "Parking Surveillance" or this option only available with the "Hardwire Kit" ?

[@ChrisG-gl5st]

Only with the hard wire kit

[@R3YVAH]

@@ChrisG-gl5st but why ? That is, there is a chip in the camera that reads the information from which it takes power? The support service wrote to me in the same way and did not explain why not... my car is less than one month old, it also has its own installed security, such as a parking password, gps, alarm. In order not to violate the warranty contract, I cannot push any wires into the car's system. So I would like to just use this camera for parking surveillance, and it would be great if it could be powered by a power bank. I have 20-30k mAh power banks, I think they will be able to power this camera for several days...

[@ChrisG-gl5st]

@@R3YVAH that's what it says when I read it on the website and said the same on Amazon

[@ChrisG-gl5st]

If I use the hard wire kit do I need to use the power point in the car?

[@chrisgraham2904]

No. If you hard-wire, the 12 V socket will be free for other purposes.

[@hjohnson143]

If I get the "always on" kit, how does 70Mai Omni impact a normal 12 car battery over, say, 8 hours while I'm at work? I assume that if you drive an EV, battery draw isn't an issue.

[@Happylife-molly]

It Will continue to record through the car's battery . Unless there is a possibility of overload/hazard, he will automatically disconnect to protect the battery.

[@mat24ist]

@@Happylife-molly for the always on part you need it connected to your fuse box, if not it will turn on when your car turns on.

[@smsg83]

Consumption is around 150 mA, according to the manufacturer.

4G only adds live notifications to your phone and the ability to view the camera live (like a Ring device)

[@chrisgraham2904]

You can view on your phone what the camera sees from anywhere in the world that you have internet access.

[@seaman651]

It would have been omni if recording all around continuously, not just panning a limited field of view, while leaving the other areas uncovered. It's useless if facing backwards when an accident happens, of if facing forward when another car is ramming from behind.

[@avstryker]

Exactly .. this is garbage.

[@chocoescobar777]

That motion detector does not work, they always use the video from the ad

[@chrisgraham2904]

Yes, several KZbin reviewers have tested the motion detection feature and found it not to work. It also would not lock onto a person approaching the vehicle and track them as they moved to the side, or back of the vehicle. Some defective products, or all???

[@avstryker]

360 which means it has a 25% chance of actually be filming in the right direction. My cam has cabin, front and rear camera's recording simultaneously. Paid ad sellout

I couldn't read 1 licence plate in your footage .. if you can't even read the licence plate of a car why even bother buying this crap

[@Happylife-molly]

but Matt shows it can read road signs in rainy and extreme weather. I think it can certainly read the license plate while driving. this will not be a problem

[@hjohnson143]

You called it "crap" because you couldn't read 1 license plate? That's pretty coarse . You don't like it, don't buy it. But don't degrade it calling the item "crap". I've been using dashcams for quite a while and I've found them very useful even I can't read license plate information.

[@phatthanhtat304]

this camera? not for crap people to use。

[@smsg83]

Maybe the 60fps mode should be used then. I got mine but didn't had the time to test it.

[@chrisgraham2904]

To read plates you need to be running the 60 fps feature. Then it works well if your approaching a vehicle stopped in front of you or if your following very close. Not many on the market can read U.S. style plates of vehicles approaching from the oncoming lane.
