Thank you, thank you. You didn't have any annoying music, and you did a good job of explaining what you were doing. Greatly appreciate this video that you did. Thank you again.

[@GeekyStuff]

My pleasure, thank you.

[@CalladsEssence]

Thank you for this nice review. I especially liked the calm way you explained everything. Also the footage was nice to see. Greetings from Charley, the Netherlands :)

[@GeekyStuff]

Charley S Thanks Charley :)

[@eLio.q]

thank you for a full review. respect your work, it is here all what I need. keep the good work

[@Want0nS0up]

Yours was the best clear explanation (after thorough searches elsewhere). Thanks.

[@7alafawzy]

Thank you, you showed me how to work it simply clearly without fuss, i'll just go pop this in the car ready for my journey tomorrow. :)

[@Aussieshar]

This is a really great video. Thanks for taking it on a 'test run' .

[@kawaomarAGHA]

Thank you for the nice video, I will buy it for sure. Thank you for sharing.

[@craig-kx1ov]

I had this dashcam about 18 months ago & had problems with playback ,however upgraded to the class 10 micro s/d card which cured all ...good video by the way

[@AChi__]

Mine never turn. Not even once 😂

[@TysonCapel23]

thanks for the review, I ordered one through your link!

[@khlistofer1817]

Gidday! Excellent job, mate!

[@stephenbranley9633]

Much appreciated, great to find a video with someone speaking the Queen's English. Good info, clear and precise. Ta muchly...

[@GeekyStuff]

Thank you mate! :)

[@christph3118]

😂

[@Michael-mq8gy]

VERY nice "how to". Although it was a challenge to understand you at times, (I speak American), I was able to follow the setup and spent a lot of time on this before finding this video. As you folks would say, "bravo"

[@adidasP4]

Not sure how to play back the footage, put the SD card in my PC & tried to play, but it says unsupported format. I even tried converting it, but nothing worked

[@youcdtube]

can you delete videos directly from the dash cam or do you have to down load to lap top first and 2nd question how to delete videos from the dash cam?

[@ruthparks7199]

Just got mine, didn’t come with a SD card or SD to USB thing. Bought a 32gb SD card. Followed your instructions and it works great. Thanks for review from Australia

[@kellywest3989]

Wich size sd card? Mine didnt come with one either

[@reneerenteria9134]

How do you put in sd card. Seems so cheap

[@andrewconlow5627]

Thank you for making this video!

[@SarahPoulin]

Thanks for posting this! Just by curiosity, did you open a video file in your computer with something like VLC Media Player and go to Tools > Resolution, to check if it is indeed 1080p? It looks much better than the local one I bought from Napa. It's fake through and through. Says it's HD, when the top resolution is 480p (according to my computer). But it looks as bad as 240p (could be upconverted).

[@KADU1978]

Good video, tks! Question... When camera is set in "parking mode" recording night time or at any dark parking there is a way to set it to light the flash "LED" on when sensor detected a movement? If so, how to set it? Tks!

[@SlurpEee25]

I have this camera now for about 2 weeks. I noticed this morning it said full memory so I went into playback mode and deleted all the files. It still says full memory and will not record....any idea what's wrong here?

[@chrispilkington9216]

Thanks for the video. Mine has come with NO instructions or card reader, are these readily available to buy ?

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

Hi, What happens when the memory card gets full, will it automatically start recording over the original file or just stop till you manually delete?

[@boogiebusby]

Hi there I have one of these and it is as you say pretty good but what I can't set is it auto switching off when I switch off the ignition. Should it? or is there a setting that I should have it set at? I have it plugged in continuously to the cigarette charger. Thanks

[@abrahampretorius2531]

I am having problem as it keeps on turning on and off while driving. Any help as to what to set to stop this from happening plz

[@flamesimcox8397]

Great video. Thank you so much! I purchased 2 of these in the US but 1 doesn't seem to work at all. The screen is split almost in half with the right side displaying a clear image,r while the left side has streaks running down it and green stripes in the middle. I can get to the Video page and the Set Up page but cannot select any options, or get back to recording when turned on. The power button will not turn it off or on. Is there a mailing address to send it for repairs?

[@JereWhitehouse]

Thanks for the video. I am just now setting up my camera. Can't set the date. In the menu settings there is the choice of "date stamp" Yes or No. But when I click on yes there is nowhere to set the date. Please help. Thanks!

[@joelmck]

Very helpful and much appreciated.. Thank you.

[@youkidandthat1205]

I won one of these on an auction app for £9 delivered. Great review.

[@franklinty2216]

HEPL!! when done setting time , video quality etc. ok for just one drive but when turn off all setting won't​ stick it back to default setting. did I miss something ???

[@mattis09]

how long time is it functionally with a full loaded inside battery? is it possible to connect a powerbank?

[@carrottopplayer6971]

Good evening I bought one of these today . I can not get it to record . Soon as I turn it on it doesn't work ? What could be happening. Thank you for your help

[@FelipeMeirelles]

Thank you for all instructions What I would like to know is how I set it up to not be needed to format the SD card all the time, thank you and congratulations!

[@jimstonehouse203]

Was I supposed to get the SD cards and the converter with the dash cams? Hoping that we just misplaced them.

[@MySlamma]

How do you get the dashcam up to show up as a pc cam using windwos 10

[@homeautomation8682]

Hey, great video. Thanks for it. :) I was looking to buy the camera that can record at night time from the inside of my car. Now as I understand this camera has option to switch on by itself on movement and record even if the car isn't moving. Would you say it would go on if somebody is taking windscreen wipers off? Did you maybe test it like that? So night time, not much light and somebody is trying to steal the windscreen wipers?

[@collinetteosbourne8095]

My gt 300 not turning on most of the times when my ignition is on and there's light in the adopter any help

[@dcervantes4916]

hi i got this but no sd card just a blank white screen do i need the sd card to make it work

[@maninavan.2043]

Hello, I have just had my Dash cam arrive and have been going through the settings, but after plugging the the small USB lead in the camera. But can access the menu! can this only be access when the battery is charged and not plugged into my laptop. can you advise - Gary

[@daisyequine]

Hi! Mine appears to be in Chinese/Japanese and I have no idea how to turn it off?! Can you help?

[@donnaglynn2545]

I got one of those but no card came with it and it doesn't have any buttons on the sides. Just the slot for the TF card and the power input cable. How do I get it to start?

[@TibbsYCod]

My seams to be making a really loud noise whilst charging? Any ideas of what this may be?

[@blackmetalmagick1]

Does it only record the fees minutes loop than record over that every fees minutes or does it record the few minutes loop into segments for the whole video time? I understood it to be the later

[@troypurnell7479]

Nice video,all I need is to record and play back, thanks for showing how

[@MetallicDannyR]

Hello, how did you get your quality so good ? mine was fine then i had a mess around and its not as good now quite blury what settings did you have yours on if you remember?

[@CityGuyGoesCounty]

I keep getting an image on the screen indicating that the mic is off does the mic automatically turn on when the video is recording ?

[@nutstercool1322]

Hi I have this model but it keeps locking the videos every time it starts recording. Do you know how to get the lock off thanks

[@RaymondRobinson]

Mine did not with a separate video card USB Adapter can I kurschase those separate? Also is it OK to leave it attached on the windshield in the summer when it really hot inside?

[@2012Aragorn]

I am thinking of getting one of these. May I ask how the loop system works on this, as I read you can simply leave the camera to write over the previous recordings so as to reduce messing about. Yet I wonder what a 10 min loop can achieve if the accident occurs just as the loop is about to end/begin again?

[@CityGuyGoesCounty]

I bought this I don't think it's the best thing on the market, I want to get something a little more technologically advanced I wouldn't buy it again ..

[@philiparmistead1594]

Hi Just bought one of these and your vid helped a lot. Mine came in an unmarked box unbranded not even the GT300 for £12.73 free p+p from eBay. There seem others out there under various brand names NOVATEC, TOGUARD, STREETWISE at £43 + £2.70 p+p. and no card. Mine appears to be like yours. The instructions say the P is “Emergency Lock Button - manual lock vedio (sic) if very important. It also functions as you explain except the P is displayed in a box. Is this a dual function? Also if the loop is off does the recording fill the card then over right or just say card full and stop recording? And lastly how long does it take to fully charge the battery on a mains phone charger? Thanks Phil

[@georgebarrowman9509]

I set mine so that Loop was off, and once the card is full, it just stops recording and shows a big blue full message. It looks like it wont auto delete. My other camera is a cheapie K6000 and it autodeletes fine with no loop setting. Any ideas?

[@andyb2920]

Hi mate, I have the same dash cam and was hoping if you could give me some advice on whether or not it's possible to clear the SD card whilst in the dash cam. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box when it comes to gizmos. Much appreciated pal.

[@videostar07]

Thank you this video, very helpful. My dash cam looks the same but doesn't have all the same features. I got it from Hong Kong so it must be a cheaper but almost identical looking knock off. Watch out for the location of the buttons being different to tell the cheaper versions. The tip about the USB cords being for charging only was very helpful as I couldn't get it to show videos and you clued me in on that. The cheaper version does not appear to have a park feature, a big disappointment. Lesson learned, do some research before buying.

[@raybol3035]

I have a few questions I am hoping you can answer. I bought one of these, and so far for $20 I am pretty happy with it. However, there's a flashing icon in the bottom right corner that I haven't been able to figure out. I am also having trouble with the playback on my PC being slowed down. I can't figure out how the parking mode is supposed to work. I am also confused about how the lock/unlock function works...do you know anywhere that I can find more detailed instructions for this? Thanks!

[@briananderson6316]

Very helpful review 👍

[@toshii]

When I am connecting it to PC and choosing either Memory or Webcam it goes stuck with blue screen and noisy sound. It is normal how can I fix it or what is the solution.

[@doug1070]

I have the same camera and I have the looping set at five mins, however all videos are locked so it will not write over them. Once the memory card is full I have to delete all files before I can record new files. Can I set the camera to lock all files? thank-you

[@Joasfotografo]

Would be great to have a camera with motion sensor, so I wouldn’t need to switch on and off every time I get into my car to drive, it’d automatically start. Do you know any dash cam with this feature?

[@rickkitamata4947]

My version of this camera came set in Chinese language mode? How can I change languages? It seems my camera has very different screen/menu graphics as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@alanfscott]

Many thanks for your clear, precise instructions -- very helpful. (I can't find my instruction sheet which came with it.)

[@GeekyStuff]

Alan Scott no problem mate :)

[@famtone47]

How do you play back recorded videos. Thanks

[@tammyphan8773]

What happens if the sd card full recording? Will it roll over automatically? Or delete the old recording n recording new one automatically?

[@franciskennedy1782]

Hi my dc200 is saying please insert sad card, when I have one in, any ideas?

[@Mani_6886]

I have same dash cam but it records for sometime stops stating Sd card full. As card is 64 gb and whenever I check card in my computer there is no video. Any suggestions?

[@Colwray1]

I’ve been given this with no instructions.. of say you have an accident and you want to ensure you save the video.. is there a a button you press to save say the last few minutes?

[@KF0ICI]

Why does mine dont save date and time? I have it plugged in my car and my car lighter plug is always on even when the car is off. Thanks

[@ronniesuperx]

So how does the camera shut off? When you park and turn your car off, the car's "power outlet" will still have power going to it, so why wouldn't the camera just keep on running? Does it know to shut off at some time?

[@irishtexan6636]

How do you put the SD card in? No matter which way I put it in, the camera tells me that there is no SD card inserted.

[@fshimao]

Hello there! Nice videos! Wish to known the divice night vision quality.

[@aircraftsandtrains2309]

hey so i have one and when i turn mine on it says no card and there is a card inside.

[@2011thetemp]

I own this and have been using it a few days but I haven't seen any footage while parked. I don't know if the parking mode works or not though

[@PL-mu8gs]

how do you adjust the date and time?

[@roshanweerasinghable]

does it have a erase function once the card is full?

[@LawrenceKeeley]

mine will stay on if it is not connected, is there a battery

[@dlhusk]

What are the exact specs for the SD Card? Thanks for video

[@jamesroberts2420]

very good review

[@jeffaz83]

hey, thanks for the review, I would like to know if it turns on automatically with the ignition on? thanks

[@mikesegura3653]

with PARK mode on, it starts when the car moves. in the video, you see him confirm it is in park mode, turn it off and shake it... IT RECORDS

[@williecoachman6387]

Can you tell me where I can find my battery for my dash cam at?

[@freestanding1000]

I’ve had this item 1 month. Now the screen shows nothing. Any suggestions?

[@nkklm23]

I was wondering why mine kept switching back on every couple minutes. As it seems it was on Park mode!! Thanks so much for this very informational video! :)

[@GeekyStuff]

lol yes it will do that in park mode :)

[@delebalogun6818]

Does it record inside car action

[@MichaelCrutcher]

Is there a kit to plug this directly to the fusebox in the vehicle? Does the camera automatically turn on and record upon starting the car?

[@SANTANA1deep]

Automatically turns on when the car starts, if it's plugged into a power source

[@craigswan8782]

How can i make the screen brighter

[@mlagathomason2555]

does the gt300 have infrared nighvision?

[@emiliolarriu2161]

Hello ... could you help me configure the camera in parking mode ... there is a wretch in my community that is scratching the paint on the car ... in parking mode you could configure it so that when you approach the car and grate it camera record it thanks and regards

[@1478pablo]

Thank you for the video excellent, just a question about the micro card, can I use a 64 Gb card for the camera its compatible for it ??

[@kimfloyd9329]

Not a recommended option, best to go no more than 32 gb

[@johnsmall7252]

Hi Thanks for video. What is the LED light for ?

[@tomsmithjr1]

AND, how do you turn it off?

[@francisjohnpetrie8639]

Worked fine till the SD card filled up now when I touch the mode button it shuts down can't get menue

[@WilL-rq9rx]

Good instruction, I have one of this, you said you don't use the loop mode, does that mean you need to format/delete the file everytime the card is full?

[@GeekyStuff]

Wil L Hi, yes it would mean that. you can always turn it on when its near to full. I like to keep my recordings.

[@Sapphireinsong]

excellent well paced and easy to listen to instructions...thank you!

[@jowen59]

Your video is a great help, as the "user manual" leaves a lot to be desired. We have one problem. When we turn it on it says "SD Card Full". Have tried formatting, it states "Please Wait", but after 20 minutes it still says full. Any idea what I can try? Thanks in advance.

[@vutovyou1]

only use 32gb

[@runnerres9206]

I have this exact model but currently it just stalls with power still on, how do I switch it off and restart?

.....find your dad's hammer. :-)

[@miracleflame]

Where do you get firmware update? I could not find it anywhere... what key words to use? Also how did you turn off the sound during startup/shutdown? I have annoying chirpy sound everytime I launch it.

.....you're better off to "launch" the camera out the window! It's garbage.

[@roamizane1484]

It sucks that I can't use it with my Joying Android radio, because the regular USB cable just treat it like it's hooked up to a computer

[@trinidarkstealth]

I have one question tho..how does it preform at night...how clear is it..

[@MrBobWareham]

Nice but how about night time driving is it good at night as that is when you get more accidents on the road please give your opinion at night thanks Bob

[@allotoi1323]

Can the camera be mounted on the dashboard instead than hanging from the windshield? Thank You.

[@SANTANA1deep]

Yes, but it will be upside down

[@jacquie.ec.2012]

Got this cam and it’s less than a year and the date gets stuck on a certain day and even though I reset and set the date correctly it goes back to the way it was. Has anyone else had this issue?

[@Danzwain1]

Does it auto switch off and on?

[@thewatchers325]

the photos I shot am seeing it on the computer yes no problem with the still shot but the videos nada file error help thanks

[@GeekyStuff]

Maybe you have a cheap sd card?? which card do you have?

[@BeholdtheTruthBrandon]

How do you take the memory card out

[@poukereios]

Mine is recording the sound only but I can’t see anything,I was confused about it.,and it’s my first dash camera 📷

[@coloradohispanicrepublican2191]

Not too sure about this camera. How does the recording time affect what you get to save? I don't understand. Are you saying you only get one hour of recording? Then what? Does it record over what is already in the memory? I guess I should have done my due diligence. I drive for Lyft and need something that will record for the duration of my driving time, then be able to download and save the videos daily. But that another thing that I can't figure out. I tried connecting the cable that came with it supposedly for the video download but nothing happens. Can't open the file. Luckily its not that much money that wasted.

[@robertbozzanca2812]

NICE JOB

[@youdoer]

There is another version that does not have the parking feature and the buttons are different. Many eBay posts show both. Thanks for your video.
