The best I've ever used. Period.

I had so many cameras I lost count. My previous one was Junsun and he was great but he died as soon as the car stopped. I decided to get a new DVR, especially one that stored files. I also have a Vantrue fuse adapter which is even better. I am very happy with this DVR. He has three cameras. The first camera shoots from the front, the second from the back, and the third from inside the car. The interior camera is great for drivers like Uber and Lyft. The interior camera is also equipped with LED night vision lights, which makes it much easier for passengers to record. It's also great for capturing car sides. The video quality is fantastic. I don't mean "good". I don't mean "good". That's incredible. There are several "Quality Settings" you can choose from to get the best quality compared to your SD card space usage. As for storage, I have a 256GB card because I plan to record in parking mode so I can review the saved content after a night in the parking lot. However, I would go for a lower capacity card if I was only going to use it while driving. Also, I use the highest resolution to get the best video quality. The quality of the rear camera is top notch. I can easily see the number plates on the rear camera. The camera in the cabin is top notch. The front camera is top notch. Really fantastic. The camera uses a supercapacitor instead of a lipo battery and this is much better in the long term as lipo batteries lose their function over time and in extreme sun heat or extreme cold. The main reason I got this camera is that I wanted to record the car's surroundings and catch someone if the car was scratched or hit from the side. The front and rear cameras cannot do this. This one, facing into the cabin at a wide angle, can see the sides of the car. There is a well written manual in the box with simple instructions but honestly I don't read too much of it as everything is pretty self explanatory. However, the instructions and pictures are intuitive and easy to follow. The camera comes with a 12V charger, rear view camera and cable, USB cable and window mount. There are three large buttons on the top of the camera for navigating through the menus. On the side there is a microSD card slot, an input for the rear camera's USB-C port (also used to receive video from a microSD card), a reset button and an HD output. The inboard camera can be rotated up and down to get the best cabin angles. The rear camera mount also rotates up and down to get the best exterior angle. The rear camera comes with a long cable. I had no trouble transitioning from the rear of the car to the front. The mount has a very handy swivel feature that allows you to attach the suction cup to the window. Overall it was very easy to install and run. The menu system is very intuitive. Also, I have a Vantrue backup that powers the camera 24/7. Set up motion capture. Now if something moves in front of the camera or a car is hit, it will be recorded so I can check it later.
