Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Fumei 720p WiFi Car Rearview Camera with Intelligent Video Recording | Android & iPhone/iPad Compatible by Steve French

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good product, bad software

I tried a Samsung Galaxy TAB 2 dashboard mounted. Downloaded the V-Car app and connected to the car as described. The app is expected to run in the background and detect the Wi-Fi signal when activated by the reversing lights, switch to the app and show the backup image, and then roll you back to what you were doing when you switch back That's what he makes believe in the English instructions, but actually he doesn't do it at all. It turns off your existing Wi-Fi, connects to its own Wi-Fi signal, and then does nothing. . You can manually launch the app, look at a blank image of a car with a green Wi-Fi signal from behind, then tap the TINY, FAKE LITTLE ICON in the top right corner to turn on the rear view image. When you're done, you can exit the app, go into your settings and manually reconnect your existing Wi-Fi network, since of course it will be disconnected, and then go back to what you were doing before all the process started . It's more trouble than it's worth. If it did what it said it would be great, but it just doesn't because the software is poorly written. Which of course will never be fixed or open because it was basically alpha software written in a hurry and released without proper testing. Out of my return policy now and can't send it back.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
