Review on Supercapacitor Infrared G Sensor Recording Supports by James Yarbrough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great DVR - value for money

This was the easiest DVR to set up; My other two died in the Texas heat so I'm hoping the built in capacitor will pass the Coxpal test. You can download their app and connect to the Coxpal dashcam WiFi to download the saved videos. Pretty easy to manage. The DVR is not too big and is easy to hide behind the rearview mirror, and the interior camera sticks out to the side. Doesn't affect visibility at all. A D-Pad for navigating menu functions is a huge benefit over the array of buttons down the side of the DVR that you see on other types. That's intuitive. One thing to mention that I don't see in the ads is that if you record the dash cam alone while driving, a black screen will automatically appear after about twenty seconds showing only the time and your GPS speed . It still records front and back, but I thought it would be nice if the screen changed to a simple layout - it's not distracting when driving and is also a secondary indicator of how fast you're going. Press a button to return to the video stream and menu options. But of course you shouldn't operate the dashcam while driving, so the black screen with speed and time indications is a nice touch. Customer service is great - I contacted them to fix GPS issues that were actually my fault. to ensure the USB-C is firmly connected and the metal pins are fully connected between the mounting plate and the dash cam. You must ensure that the DVR is installed correctly as indicated! If it doesn't make full contact with the mount, you could lose your GPS. They were very nice and gave me advice on exposure value (0 is the best balance between day and night) and video looping (1 minute is best so looping from a full SD card doesn't remove the first 5 or 3). minutes, total 1 minute). At the moment this is my favorite DVR. I really hope that with the capacitor it will last much longer than dash cams with lithium batteries.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Hard to say
