I've been on a hunt for a budget, yet good quality dual dash camera that has all the right features. This dashcam has WiFi, GPS, HDR, WDR, 4k resolution all for under $150, but is it a good value!?

I just bought this product the updated version with suction cup plus memory card included and it works great I use it when I’m on the road trucking. I believe they listened to the complaints and fixed a lot of issues

[@TOM2RN]

Nicely done. Thanks for pointing out the lower frame rate.

[@Reddylion]

Nice video.. is this the best or do you recommend any better one now !.

[@redtigerdashcam1806]

It was so useful! ! thanks for sharing.

[@troybrockmorales1444]

Thank you for the video! Very useful 👌🏼

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cantfindausernamedam]

is the video playback jerky or smooth? when I watch the video here its jerky. thanx

[@lepoldbuttersstotch]

If you use 1440p+1080p, it will record at 30fps instead of 4K+1080p @ 24fps

[@MrWestcliffe]

...so how its better to use it with 4K@24fps? or 1440p at 30fps? Just purchased one now and wondering how to set it up. Cheers.

[@lepoldbuttersstotch]

@MrWestcliffe it just captures more frames so potentially you can get a screen grab of a license plate if needed. The F7N is not true "4K" anyways as the image sensor isn't large enough. They just blow up the resolution. That being said, it's a bit of personal preference. During my time with it, I didn't have any issues.

[@MrWestcliffe]

@@lepoldbuttersstotch thanks. So is it true if I go down to 1080p on the front cam it will do 60fps? I couldn't find any official info on the Redtiger site.

[@lepoldbuttersstotch]

@@MrWestcliffe I don't remember if that's possible. I think the 60fps option gets disabled if you have the rear camera plugged in. Give it a try. I've changed cameras now to a 3 channel one. Good luck.

[@lisandrofernandez1503]

The secret of have the license plate numbers is just to keep the microphone on all the time and pronounce the license plate number and letters so that way you already have it recorded.

[@tomwilsonkeys]

Really well done video.

[@tjmexbc00]

Hello, good afternoon, thank you for sharing, a question, why does my camera suddenly freeze when I record in 4K and why can't I see the videos on the computer if I remove the card? Finally, how do you upload your video to KZbin? It takes me a long time to even see them in the application on my cell phone? simple curiosities thank you very much

[@andrewechang]

Is your SD card class 10? it looks like a C and will have a little number on the inside of it. Class 10 cards will have the highest bitrate so you’re able to record in higher resolution

[@tjmexbc00]

@@andrewechang Thank you very much, I will check the card, you are very kind.

[@tx1506]

Might need one of those lens which reduce glare. The polarizing kind.

[@wolfmannews]

How do you switch to the rear camera?

[@harshalgavali]

Thanks. Is there a physical button to lock a video clip in case of emergency?

[@noel7934]

it’s called a save file 🤦‍♂️

[@harshalgavali]

It lock that file on the memory card and prevent it from auto deleting. Dashcam saves videos in multiple small clips. Space for new clip is made by deleting older clips.

[@jason8anthony]

does the dashcam screen stay on all the time or can you have it off when you are driving?

[@BrayZap]

I heard if you use the rear camera with it, the front camera doesnt do 4k and drops to 1080p

[@perinthia6829]

The front camera isnt even capable of 1080p, its 2 options are 2k and 4k, its the rear camera thats only 1080p, and you can use both 2k and 4k options while recording with the rear camera

[@BrayZap]

@@perinthia6829 do you know that from experience? Everything I'm seeing, when you use the rear camera you can't record the front camera using 4k

[@gogojody765]

@simpleCarGuy - If you had to choose between this dual camera or Thinkware Q1000 - which one would you choose?

[@bobbyyy776]

thinkware for reliability

[@mitchryan5468]

​@Bob K had my x350 just crap out on me 1 day, I've got a second x350 that's older and still works but quality of the video seems to be grainy and hard to read plates. Going to switch to this

[@erickasantiago8514]

Thanks you. 👍👍👐🙏😇🥰nice video ❤

[@jagdish3455]

Is ADAS available in this dash cam ?

[@mookyyzed2216]

I just got mine today on Amazon for 125. They had a 20 dollar of coupon. Frame rate really doesn't make any difference to me. It's not like I'm playing God Of War on a PS5, I just want it to capture footage if I'm ever in an accident it some other unfortunate situations.

[@williambillus1225]

I just installed mine, rear image looks cleaner/better than the front does when viewing on the app….front looks grainy…factory settings. Also, it won’t save any files to my iPad mini for some reason. Any ideas?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Did you remove the protective film on the front lens? As far as the iPad, did you allow access to photos on the phone?

[@williambillus1225]

@@SimpleCarGuy yes, film off. And allowed access.

[@philkane4390]

Just go one in 2024, it's far better, Back cam not like that one. It is also 360 rotation and can stay inside the vehicle. Problem with outdoors use is they always get covered in crap so no view.

[@PlumbersSon]

Can I use my own usb charger for the camera instead of the traditional 12v charger???

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Sure, why not

[@jackwebb5917]

I’m getting ready to install mine, how does that clear piece attach to the windshield? I get how the camera attaches with the 3M pad, but don’t see what keeps the clear film from coming off

[@SimpleCarGuy]

If I remember correctly you just peel off the sticker part and then it just sticks to the windshield using friction and surface area. There is no adhesive. Pretty cool how it works, just have to make sure your glass is clean

[@jackwebb5917]

@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks!

Is there a way to turn off the beeping sound when starting up the camera?

how to install rear camera

[@javiersalas7670]

How about if the car is parked and turned off??? Will it still record???

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Only if you wire in the hardwire kit. Otherwise, no. It does not have a battery, only a capacitor.

It will delete old videos once it’s out of space and keep looking like that. You don’t have to manually delete anything

@@SimpleCarGuy my understanding this dash cam doesn’t not come with memory card is that true …thanks to your response

[@bobgeisendaffer968]

Does the video invert?

[@gagevieu3254]

Has anyone done 1080p on this camera to maybe get better frames. That frame rate is pretty bad

[@antoniosantiago2770]

Can you see inside the cabin

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I guess if you turn the camera around

[@Masterown35]

Camera is nice but I wish it had a USB plug instead of the car adapter

Can we see live streaming of this cam by using tabs....🤔🤔🤔

Whats your favorite 4k dashcam thats over $150?

[@2ad516]

Vantru is very good. On Amazon

[@Qwijebo]

That frame rate just made my decision not to purchase this one

[@FrostyBrew]

Just an FYI. I’ve seen videos from this camera that look flawless. I think it’s only 24 FPS at 4K, but 120 fps at 1080p.

[@Nightrider6977_Malayali_Driver]

60 fps in 2K resolution 👍🏻✨️

​@@FrostyBrew.. so we may as well buy a cheaper 1080 DC instead of overrated 4K like this one here..?

@@budget.diyguy.australia if you want - 1080p at 120 fps is still just fine.

You start by contacting the OEM, not some guy doing a review on KZbin.

Are you sure you have the right card rating? Class and speed? I used a wrong one at first and kept getting that message.

Sometimes you have to delete the memory on the card using your the dash cam

[@billfoster6809]

So at the beginning of your setup, you show that it records at 2160p & 1080p. But then you are saying that it looks like true 4K. It’s NOT! You showed it can only do 2K when you are using both front and rear cameras. 😮oops

@@Thebebop2008 Unfornutaly it is not, it's 2 K. K stands for kilos which are thousands, such as in kilobytes, kilograms, kilometers.

[@greggchaffin1596]

the frame rate alone makes this camera unusable

[@Ntv768]

this camera is garbage. I have connected the wifi and it gives me about 30 seconds to find the video before it shuts off. This is my second redtiger because the first one stopped working out of nowhere. I got a replacement and now I can not retrieve the video. My wifi is good so i'm not sure the problem. Frustrated and can't get a return or help from customer service since I purchased this a year ago. Never needed to look at video today until when a teenager on a bike swerved in front of my car. Sad that I don't have this evidence.

[@soapboxearth2]

I can't see plate numbers, so it's useless

[@pelphrey]

Just say the plate number so it’s recorded
