Dash Cam Front 1080P with Hidden Design, Mini Car Camera Video Recorder with 170° Wide Angle, Dashcam for Cars with Night Vision, WDR, Parking Monitor and G-sensor (No SD Card)

UPDATE 17/01/2025I think that I am quite lucky with this dash cam as it is still working. It was a cheap £24 dash cam and so I was not expecting much.Nothing much to report other than it still works.Just a reminder that I leave it in the car as it is quite a small device and you don't really notice it from outside unless you really look carefully. We have the rear window tinted so it makes it harder to spot.So it has experienced our hot summers and contrasting cold winters and yet still works.UPDATE 26/8/2024I had always wondered how long this cheap dash cam would last. It is now coming up to one years since purchased and we are still working and with no issues. I do frequently check the footage to make sure it is recording and check a random few files to ensure that they are all the same length and play back.Just a reminder that it is installed as a rear dash cam that starts when the car starts. I do treat it as equal importance as the front main cam as both can tell the whole picture or capture as much as possible.You could argue why I did not buy a dash cam that can manage both front and rear streams. My front dash cam was also purchased on Amazon and is sub £50. I am the believer in keeping things simple. The two dash cams are not linked so if one fails then I may be lucky with the footage with the other but also a dual capture of streams is more complicated so my gut feeling with these cheapo dash cams is that it is probably asking a little too much for them to be 100% reliable.When I check the footage I do eject the sd card from the cam but do not delete or format it. I think you are meant to format on a regular period. I dont know what you would need to do this as I never format my laptop hard drive and reinstall Windows every year and it seem to still work.If and when this dash cam becomes landfill material then I will update this review but here is hoping another year of trouble free dash camming.I should point out that the car is used around 5 times a week, mainly for journeys lasting less than 1 hour but now and again a 2+ hour journey is made.I should also point out that I never remove the dash cam from the installation point so it can get very hot inside the car where it is placed.UPDATE : 8/3/2024Just thought that I will add an update to this product. I bought it back in August 2023 and is always used as a rear camera for the car. It is still working with no issues and the video quality is still as good as it was when it was new. Will keep updating.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Already had a front dash cam but now wanted a rear facing one but had produce reasonable video without costing a lot of money.Found this one and I like the design format. It is similar to the one that we already had at the front. It is small and relatively discrete. I am able to wire it to the the rear cig socket to switch on with the car engine.Video quality is good for the price (just under £24) and seems to work ok. Had been installed for just over the month now and has operated each and every time. Naturally I will review my findings if it does fail.The mounting strips that are supplied are good as our surface is hard plastic with some kind of embossed pattern so not 100% flat.

+ The dash cam is small and doesn't obstruct my vision when it has been installed. It's also discreet enough that I am happy to leave it mounted in the car when parked.+ The picture quality is good; there are certainly better quality dash cams out there, but most will be at a much higher price. (I bought this one for just over £20 while on sale)+ The adhesive mount that is provided is very strong, just be sure that you are happy with where it is prior to placing it.+ The customer service was excellent! The customer support staff I was in contact with (Daphne) was quick to respond to my emails and helped me to get the free USB cable that is available.+ The dash cam has an internal battery, allowing you to keep using it (albeit briefly) after it has been disconnected. That's great for adjusting the settings/formatting the sd card outside of the car's mount.- The cable is a decent length but something to note is that you won't always be able to just push the cable into the edge of the upholstery as the video shows. This isn't a fault with the product but I felt I should mention it as some cars (particularly if they are cheaper or older) will not support this for a variety of reasons. In my car for example, the upholstery around the top of the windshield is frayed, meaning that it cannot hold the cable in place). Therefore you should be prepared to explore alternative cable routing options.- The dash cam's design doesn't really allow you to push the micro-sd card in far enough (it would have been nice if the exterior plastic had a dip in it around the micro-sd card slot). Because of this, you may have to use something small and thin, like a key, to get the micro-sd card to click in properly.- As mentioned in the "positives" section, the adhesive is very strong. However, as it is an adhesive mount, it will probably be far harder to adjust than if it were a suction mount (though that probably helps its low profile).

For whatever reason the initial camera I bought had a couple issues. The seller did agree to replace the item so this is the review it is based on.This is a very neat and compact dash cam, which for me, I particularly like. It does fix directly to your windscreen so that may put some people off, but the camera can be removed from the mount to get access to footage.The lens itself rotates and allows you to he able to adjust where you want to film accordingly (this is where my initial camera failed), plus the quality is stable and clearThe screen itself is also small, but to me that's a bit of a bonus, as I wanted something compact that would sit out the way and not look to garish sat on the windscreen.Really easy to setup and the manual is pretty easy to follow.You will need to format the SD card when you buy one.My only real complaint (if I can call it that) is that so many cameras these days come with USB cables as well as 12v cables, or at least an adapter. This only came with a 12v cigarette cable.I did need to buy a USB cable separately, but in all probability, even if it did come with one, I would of needed a longer one to run it the length I wanted it to to hide the wires (pet hate).All in all its a good little device and for the money I really don't think you could go wrong. As for the 'sensor' applications......I a little dubious but would rather not find out if they work or not if that makes sense.For less than £25, its neat, compact, good resolution and not bad build quality.If you want a camera that doesn't sit in the middle of your windscreen looking daft, take a look at this option.
