Not happy at all! on car video

Far from worth the money. 1) Extremely outdated and slow. Setting up this device takes 20-30 minutes almost every time I get in the car. When that happens in 10 minutes I feel super happy. My phone takes 20 seconds to do the same thing as this device takes at least 20 minutes. Normal usage is also very slow. 2) The layout is not customizable, leaving most of the screen completely unusable. The auto music screen on the left just pauses but the play button doesn't work. 3) He will not use a SIM card in the US. 4) This device does not have a battery backup like many devices, so be prepared to make device settings each time you use it. Pairing a device can be painful. 5) When using Pandora, the device randomly turns it off and I have to reset Wi-Fi to turn it back on. This happens every 30 minutes to every hour. I drive a lot because I use it for business. 6) This device hasn't been updated in YEARS so the functionality is terrible. Oh, night vision? I don't see night vision. Looks the same as a normal rearview mirror. 7) There's no way to use the device with voice commands, which is ridiculous since you're using it while driving. 8) If you don't know how to operate it, you may need to pay hundreds of dollars to install the device properly, in addition to the $200 price tag, for proper installation. 9) When using rearview mirror mode, you must return to rearview mirror mode EVERY TIME after you engage reverse gear as it will automatically return to the main screen. 10) I paid for the SIM card and service because the manufacturer said they would pay me to improve the service in the US. When I agreed and gave them the update, they never responded even after all the issues I had with the device. 11) The functionality is so bad that I don't know if I have a defective device or it's just really bad across the board, but the manufacturers were unresponsive and I would rather get a refund for this device than me it didn't have an improved driving experience with it. 12) The backup pipe broke after a few weeks because it folded easily and rusted from the rain. I had to tape it to the car so it wouldn't get in the way when getting in and out of the trunk of my car. It must be placed in a place where it cannot be touched and something must be added to protect it from rain. 13) WHAT SHOULD DO - This device needs a backup battery so it gets configured and plugged in every time I start the car, this device needs an urgent update, the main screen needs to be configurable, the clock needs to have the correct US Have time and must not show 0:00 when it is midnight or noon. , add AM/PM only as a possible but not mandatory addition, have driver modes so with different drivers each driver can have their own device setting when they get in the car. Please fix this device and I will update my review. Until then, consumers should look at other devices before buying. To be honest, your cell phone will do the job a lot better. **Another update**. This device has remote access to the camera. However, since this device does not have a built-in battery, you cannot access the car camera footage when the car is not on. So if your car is getting jammed the only way to use the app to view the footage is to go to your car, turn it on and THEN open the app, which is pointless as you can just use the device. .

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
