Review on AKASO V1 WiFi Dash Cam: 1296P Full HD Camera with GPS, 16GB Memory Card, Phone App & Night Vision by Justin Reedy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad camera, cute and small

I bought two of these and installed them in my wife and I's car about a week ago. This camera is beautiful and very compact, you can put it next to your rearview mirror and it's easy to miss. I can't even see it from the driver's side of my wife's Highlander. I ended up buying a fuse tap kit for this so I could run the wires down through the headliner and APiller without showing the wires. Night time quality is okay (not as much light as I was hoping for, but pretty good) and day time quality is good. I've uploaded a sample clip of a short trip so you can see the quality for yourself. You can extract footage from the camera's WiFi, but it takes a while to load a 5-minute clip. I usually use a 128GB card. You need to format it after inserting it into the camera. When you upload clips via the app, no GPS information is included. It looks like you need to take out the SD card, download it to your computer and play it using their video player app. Haven't tried it yet as I haven't had a need. It would be nice if GPS information was included in the WiFi/mobile data transmission. This might be hard to see in my sample video, but I can zoom in on the license plates on my phone when watching the video. This device has a cycle function (3 and 5 minutes I think) and no cycle. This means clips will be recorded in 3 or 5 minute segments until the SD card is full and then it will start overwriting old clips. If you select no loop, the camera will record until the SD card is full and then stop recording until the card is formatted. worked perfectly: Meknic dash cam cable set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078T5T21G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_d-PaEbQYMBHQM
