Traffic Light Change and Vehicle Performance Tracking EPIC FAILS

I returned this camera as in my experience the core features are not even in beta status. The picture and video quality is superb and probably the best I've had in a car panel. Cameras, and I've had a few in my cars over the years. The overall size of the camera is larger than expected, but it can be hidden behind a mirror. Changing the light only reports green light (at least for me). So this should help you if you're distracted by something else while expecting red light. So he's "encouraging" you to distract yourself by letting you know when the green light comes on?! Okay, I'll admit it's been helpful here and there, but the problem is that it just can't be trusted, and at least one in ten reports doesn't even work in perfect lighting, and that would be epic. After a short while, at another far stop light almost 90 degrees to my street, on the other side of the level crossing, he reported a green light without reporting a protected left green light, reporting a green light before it actually happened. actually (happened when I first set up the camera and it was cool for a few moments). The bottom line is that you can't trust it, and at the very least it should be disabled by default. It is even more dangerous to follow the vehicle in front. It makes fewer mistakes than a green light, but it's dangerous because it turns on at a millisecond threshold and makes you race instead of driving. This epic failure includes a suggestion to keep up with a vehicle turning into an intersection while I want to keep going straight. I didn't have any problems with any of the station transitions, but I assume that would work as well. The camera really pleased my fellow passengers waiting for the next 'guess', but that wasn't their original intention, so better turn it off, and with major features disabled, it didn't deserve the price.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Socket Required
