Review on Upgrade Your Car'S Safety With CHORTAU'S 2023 Dash Cam - 1080P FHD, 170° Wide Angle, Night Vision, And More by Patrick Lets

When I first opened the box I was impressed with the build. Metal body, weighty, felt good. My hopes were high. Instructions were brief but adequate and operation is simple enough if you've ever had a small camera before. After the initial, in-vehicle test I was shocked at how bad the video was. I considered returning it RIGHT NOW. I decided to make some adjustments and try it again. 100% improvement but still less than I'd hoped for. What I did was drop exposure value to -2 and turned on WDR. I might up exposure value to -1 and see if that's better.The video is not great. It's pixilated and contrasts are not handled well. A tree-lined road in bright sunshine, where you're going in and out of shadow, is especially tough. The video is adequate for recording possible "situations" but don't expect GoPro or smartphone quality and I'm not sure about reading license plates at any distance or under movement.The camera is easy to operate and well laid out. It's small enough not to be intrusive, if well placed and holds well to the windshield. Audio is pretty good if there isn't a lot of ambient noise but suffers in my loud, airy Jeep. An enclosed car would probably be fine.All in all, I'll keep the camera and keep playing with the adjustments.Thanks for reading and have a great life!
