Great camera, best value for money

I've only had this camera for a few days but I've used it enough to get a pretty good impression. This is a replacement for the Mini 0903 which I had to return due to lens focusing issues. Installed on a 2016 Civic. The camera looks very well built and everything is included for easy installation. I connected it to the fuse box and everything is very well hidden. I really appreciate that the lens block and barrel are all black and very unobtrusive from the outside. Pros: -Great daytime high-definition video quality -Easy installation, set and forget, invisible from the outside -GPS activates almost instantly -Screensaver mode allows you to turn off the screen and all lights while recording -Rotatable lens allows you to adjust orientation according to the customize installation. Cons: - Night time quality is grainy. a definite improvement over the A118, but not quite on par with models with Exmor sensors. - no CPL filter yet - GPS mount causes the device to protrude so it's not flush with the window - uses an outdated mini USB interface - sound not very clear Overall I'm very happy with this camera. It does everything except the Sony sensor, which is a bit better at night but has a higher resolution for daytime shots. So far, the lens has sharply focused both cold and hot. The only other model I considered was the Street Guardian, which cost twice as much. There really aren't any comparable sticky mount and condenser models in this price range. I will update this review if I encounter any issues. So far I can highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
