Review on GOODTS Recorder Dashboard Recording Detection by Alexander Roberson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Decent product but needs improvement in a few areas

This camera has been used for almost a month. Video quality for day or night shots is decent. The camera itself is small enough not to block the driver's view. That's where the camera's advantages end, however. As for functionality, it has a number of disadvantages. Because the camera is small with a very small screen, it is difficult to read the menu items.2. As with many other viewer complaints, there are very few camera instructions. You must understand the functions yourself.3. The USB cable exits the camera to the roof of the car. This should be fixed. After long-term use, the cable will have a kink and eventually fail.4. Now the last and most important point and the reason why I should return this camera. In loop recording mode with 5-minute recording intervals, the last minute and a half of recording is frozen. Sound is audible but no picture. Until the camera finishes recording the current file and starts a new file, the video is almost 2.5 minutes short. That's the biggest minus for me. In the event of an accident or similar situation, the recording of the event may not be available because the camera was processing the video and missed either all or part of the event. The camera creates files of about 75 megabytes on the SD card for every 5 minute recording interval, even if the actual recording time is much less than 5 minutes. It's a waste of SD card space, but it doesn't matter.
