Review on 🚚 Pyle PLCMTRDVR41: Full HD 1080p Dash Cam Recorder DVR for Trucks - 7 Inch Monitor Blackbox with Rear Camera, Night Vision, Audio Record, and Micro SD Slot by Bill Lacy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

ZERO STARS! The best video in the car

My 2 - PLMTR5 (cameras) are connected to a PLCMTRDVR41 monitor, both from Pyle Audio. The rear camera is blurry but looks the same as if I'm looking in a rearview mirror. Front camera reversed (backward) Vehicles go left to right when they should go right to left and vice versa. I was told to call 718 (not even 800) for tec support. I got disconnected twice after waiting 10 minutes each time I was helped. When I met the ?man? - could have been AI, took 45 minutes to wait or ask questions, mostly on hold. I was told the camera must be defective and I would have to call back with the exact day I bought the camera and monitor. After I hung up, I swapped the front and rear cameras. Absolutely no difference. Both cameras show a front view, no rear view. So the camera is not defective or both are defective. There must be a way to mirror the image. If I used 4 cameras ch1 front, ch2 rear and 2 more on the sides of my truck I would have 3 rear views and one correct view. I spent over $150 on a terrible product. Not only are the images upside down, but the screen is really blurry. I couldn't read the license plate even if I had to. The buttons on the remote don't make sense. The owner's manual/instruction manual is a joke that tells you very little and leaves a lot of questions unanswered, which is why I've had so many emails to Pyle. Not that it helped at all. I want to return the entire system for a refund. Or solve problems. The system looks good at Revain with all their claims of "ULTRA HD VIDEO QUALITY", "Clearer picture on your car camera" and other nonsensical suggestions. They need someone who understands ENGLISH to write their manuals and advertisements. I have never been so dissatisfied with a product in 15 years at Revain. Customer service is so terrible it's not even worth calling or emailing. I've been trying to figure this out since I bought them in December 2017. They have kept me for so long that I can't return them or get a replacement. I put a camera on the back of my RV so I can see when someone is behind me. It may be blurry, but since I wasted my money anyway, at least I can see the blob following me. I bought another DVR with backup camera and installed it in less than 2 hours. The product produces a clear, crisp image that I can view and edit on my computer. It has a parking program in case someone hits your car when you're not around and all sorts of features, and you can even use it as a video/photo camera. The Denicer system is less than half the price of Pyle. Avoid this heap of rubbish at all costs. Update 10/25/2018: The whole system is dead. There is no picture anywhere. Pyle went silent, didn't answer my emails, and didn't speak to me at all. Avoid Audio Pyle at all costs.
