Less than satisfied

I feel compelled to write about my experience with this Car DVR. First and foremost, it lasted only about three weeks. After which it would no longer turn ON. The car cord was still providing rated output Voltage and the internal battery was fully charged. No turn ON. Secondly, the recorded video is not true 720p HD. I'm convinced the camera is lower resolution and the image is software up-converted to 720p in MP4 codec. This makes for poor image quality playback. Does not come close to true 720p image standards. Third, the internal speaker makes this horrible screeching noise at startup or when a button is pushed. Fourth, the buttons on the back side of the case rattle while driving and this sound is picked up by the internal microphone. In addition, the button back lighting is off center which give a cheap impression. All in all, I'd say this camera's price point should be around $20. I returned the unit.

Great DVR

Except for the night vision it is an excellent little dvr. Forget about recording at night unless your directly in front of it or have good back lighting. The video quality is real good with the 120 deg lens. How ever the microphone is sensitive to driving noise. I would buy this again. I am interested to see how it will work on my motorcycle in the spring.

Good deal

While the screen is small, it's not an issue since I can just download and view the video on my computer at the end of the day. Very good price for a decent product.

Ok Product

I have not used much so far, but setting up seemed to be easy, features are good. Over all it is good for what I use it for in my motor-home. The screen could be a little larger for me and the price is ok but made in China it should be less money in my book. To bad not made in the USA for this price I would buy 5 more.. Like I said overall it is a good product, does what it claimes to do.

Easy Seyup and Op

Receive item quickly and found setup easy. Only used sparingly so far but no issues.

Some Concerns But Overall Good

Purchased a few of these for our vehicle fleet. This product doesn't have the quality of, say, an iPhone, but it does serve it's purpose. Once you set it up the first time it is pretty reliable. May purchase a few more if they keep the price at $99

Not Worth The Money

Maybe I just got a bad unit but the menu selector button did not work unless I took a sharp object like a toothpick and pressed it on the far left upper corner. Could not use my finger which is just plain inconvenient. The power button also didn't work. Turned off the ignition and the camera locked up. None of the control buttons worked and the screen defaulted to a grey, lighted background. The only way to get rid of it was to remove the power source, wait, then replug the unit into the cig lighter. Tried to view the video using the USB plug on the unit. No good. Computer just kept locking up and video would not play at all. I checked to make sure I had the right video drivers and software updates but the video still wouldn't play. Had to move the SD card to an external player to view the video. Overall, the product appears to be very poorly made with no real attention to quality control. Product was made in China. Overall grade: FAIL.

Very good features, easy setup. very good product.

One problem, it is very susceptible to heat if it gets to hot it will shutdown until it cools off.

Good Product - Review Below

I use it with a 8g Transcend SD Card and its works great. Its made in China and seems to be a good product for the price. Would purchase again.
