Great camera (wide lens)

For the cost this is a very nice little camera. Build quality is very good, looks to be made of metal. Suction cup is nice and strong also. Night vision you see what you okay but signs are a little blurry but I have seen much worse from cameras that cost much more. Daytime everything is nice and clear in front of you, does get blurry the on the edges because of wide angle lens but you are seeing more than most cameras so it is the price of a wider lens from a cheaper camera. You must use a…

Pros
  • Seamless Loop Recording & G-sensor
Cons
  • No built-in Wi-Fi for easy file transfer

Good enough best in my review

This device worked as advertised until the return window had closed. It worked as designed recording started when ignition turned on but now when the ignition is turned on this screen comes up and it requires choosing an option before it will start recording. This is difficult to do when in the driver's seat and the unit is hidden behind a mirror. Night recording is very poor but is acceptable for the price.UPDATE.UPDATE. UPDATE. UPDATE.I was premature in my posting. CHORTAU responded to my…

Pros
  • Practical, good quality
Cons
  • It is good, but it doesn't have emergency record and app.

Great video quality

I do deliveries and recently got into an accident. Thankfully, I wasn’t at fault, but I thought for the next time I should be safe and have evidence. This cam sits really nicely in my car and isn’t too big so it doesn’t take up much space. The image is really clear in the camera. The camera has a nice wide angle to see a large range to record. I definitely feel safer having this in my car for my job if an accident ever happens again.

Pros
  • Its a great cam and highly recomemded
Cons
  • The device can be expensive compared to other dash cam options

Nice but. in my review

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…

Pros
  • Car & Vehicle Electronics
Cons
  • No audio recording capabilities

Peace of mind on the road

It is a basic car dash camera. I installed the camera in my car as soon as I received the item. I set the resolution to 720p in order to save memory card space. It works as advertised and the video quality is just right. A car ran into my house a couple of month ago, so I decided to have a dash camera for additional peace of mind in my daily drive. I really don't want a high-end dash cam in case someone breaks in for it at a place like SF.

Pros
  • The product is value for money! Used already 5 months, every day and st
Cons
  • No GPS functionality

Excellent product and customer service

Product works great and customer service for a minor issue was promptly taken care of. Just an all around solid product.

Pros
  • High-speed USB connectivity for quickly transporting data
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand extreme shocks or vibrations

Nice little camera and great quality

This little unit is compact, great video quality during the day and pretty good at night. Needs a hdxc sd card, but they only cost $5-$10 more. The suction quality for the window is superb and the dash suction cup is also quite good. More difficult to apply on a bumpy dash surface. The power cable to use is the cigarette light 12v option, as it is about 6-10 feet long and capable to be hidden under trim up to the window. Worth the buy. Also got it on sale (30% off). Nice buy.

Pros
  • Motion detection to provide security while parked
Cons
  • Does not come with its SD card

great car camera for the price

1. instruction manual is well written and easy to follow.2 after reading instruction manual, installation was very easy.3. after first powering up camera, I installed 32GB micro SD card and formatted it per the instruction manual.4. camera is now ready for use. I noticed that the video screen is sharp and the information on the screen is very helpful for determining the operating status of camera.5. I am very satisfied with this camera, especially the picture quality.6. I would recommend this…

Pros
  • Ability to capture license plate numbers effectively
Cons
  • The device may not be able to capture sound from outside the car

It’s decent on my review.

You’re getting a very basic setup here. The camera isn’t the best when it comes to much of anything, but it does record video and audio. It’s fine for my purposes.

Pros
  • Advanced level of safety for your vehicle
Cons
  • Does not have a built-in backup battery to save files in case of power loss

It's not worth it in my review

The battery for the camera dies to quick, you have to manually put the motion sensor on. There's ko parking guard . Can't even see the license plate on. I would've returned it it had a scratch and I'm not sure if it was already there or not.

Pros
  • Anti-glare feature to prevent sunlight interference
Cons
  • No magnetic mount option

If you spent double, you wouldn't get a better camera.

Small in price so it doesn't drain your wallet. Small in size so it doesn't obstruct your view. Suction cup mounts to windscreen with the flexibility to position correctly but solid enough to stay pointed in the correct direction. Video quality is excellent, audio quality is good. Night vision is good for night vision, but of course, it can't be as good as day. (I removed audio before uploading the video because I didn't want to share the family dinner plans.)This is exactly what I wanted in a…

Pros
  • Top-notch customer support and assistance
Cons
  • Requires regular firmware updates

Nice clear picture best in my review

Excellant quality camera. The picture is great. Couldn't ask for a better quality picture. Nice small size not obtrusive in the windshield Th charger went bad on us and the company responded quickly and efficienty and sent us anther one that was even better qulity. Would recomment this company.

Pros
  • Car Electronics
Cons
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep clean

Happy with product best in my review

I bought this because of the price and reviews. I like the camera works well thinking of buying another one for my other car. Easy to use. Would like to have something other than a screw in mount to attach to window mount sometype of clip or magnet would make it easier to remove to set up and change settings also when parked not visible may help deter theft. Other than that very happy with product.

Pros
  • Built-in microphone and speaker for easy communication
Cons
  • May interfere with the car's electronic systems

1st Dash Cam - my new review

I just received my (2) Chortau (one for each of the family vehicles) and the units seem well built and robust. Screen is big enough to view even without my glasses :). I missed the part in the description that mentioned the SD memory card was NOT included but with this review my expectation is this will be remedied in short order. In sum good 1st impressio, well packaged and it even come with directions! Updates to follow.

Pros
  • Loop recording for continuous coverage
Cons
  • The device may be too sensitive, causing false alarms

good for price on my review.

Menu a little strange, but that's ok. The movie file works best on my Mac but little issues on my PC. But all in all, great price. Garmin is five-times more expensive, smaller, better, with more functions, and great software - I just needed a cam with memory. All I want is a video cam to catch something strange in front of me while I drive. I assume I will not look at the memory card for years

Pros
  • Backed by a warranty for customer peace of mind
Cons
  • No two-way communication feature

The cheap plastic fittings are nearly impossible to tighten

It also doesn't come with much of an instruction manual.It can't be turned off without unplugging it. It's a cheap camera. If that's what you want, this is it

Pros
  • Streamlined design that blends with the interior of your vehicle
Cons
  • No voice commands option

For the price it will cover you in times that matter

For the price, it’s not terrible. The suction cup hated influxes of weather. Picture quality isn’t the highest but if you’re on a budget but want to be covered in cases of accidents, it does the job!

Pros
  • Large capacity for storage (up to 32GB
Cons
  • The device may collect personal data, posing privacy concerns

Dash Cam stopped working after 6 months!

Have been using the camera for a little over 6 months and camera stopped working. It will power on for about 5 minutes and then shut off. Adjusted the Auto Power Off settings and no change. Tried resetting to factor default and no change. Good luck getting customer support, no response. Just not worth the money in my opinion

Pros
  • camera seemed good but the power jack is too cheap had to rig to maintain power
Cons
  • Not eligible for all car insurance discounts

Does not Record All the time

I got this dash camera just a precaution in case of any incidents. Well I got into a car accident and the camera was not even recording. I am not sure what triggers it to record/stop recording but it stopped recording right before the accident. Now I do not have any footage. I brought this camera exactly for this and it didn’t hold up to what I needed it to do. The picture quality is pretty good but other than that I would beware of the recording functionality.

Pros
  • Maintains high standards for safety regulations and certifications
Cons
  • Does not have a low-light sensor
