the thing I like was the speed camera alert at .2mi with no smartphone used,

[@479gemgirl1]

When using the rear camera, can the front camera still record in 4k or is it forced down to 2k?

I was thinking about changing to this dashcam from the very recent Q200 since my return window has ended. But the night time flare/glare/overexposure looks to be the same. This review and others i’ve watched don’t show any night time footages when there’s a car right in front stopped at the red light with the license plate at headlight level. Complete license white out. Even as the car moves ahead, still can’t read the license plate. I have the latest firmware and no improvement. Now i’m trying different setting changes and will buy the CPL; doing all this self testing. But why should I be doing all this.

[@ixhxrnrqjoo]

Do you recommend using a CPL filter always?

[@Berzilla]

got any footage of the rear camera at night through a smoked rear window like my F150?

[@vakasali5013]

Is it worth upgrading from u1000

[@eggr17ify]

Can you still hardwire to the fuse box? I already use a hud with my Obd2 😂

[@littleninja5736]

You can buy hardwire kit

Just cut the OBD cable and cut the connector. Double-check to ensure it is fused.

Great vid, Sir. I need this dash cam at all cost. But once again i want highlight my only concern being the security of the dash cam itself. Please help me know if it's equipped with GPS to be tracked when stolen. This is because anything can happen after accident or during parking. No bad person or thief is predictable.

[@BestBuyBlog]

Hi, this camera is equipped with GPS that can track location and speed.

[@godisgr8466]

​@@BestBuyBlog thanks, but it's not the exact answer i need. Can the dash cam itself be tracked if stolen?

[@gregwilson5902]

@@godisgr8466. No it cannot.

[@tcc815]

Flare looks serious

[@Sky1]

Video here is not very good. I think when you rendered it you lost a lot. I have the U1000 and use that video in my vlogs on occasion.

OBD hookups are TERRIBLE. Consider yourself lucky if you use it and don't have problems.
