Greets all,
I was asked to do a review of this dashcam. I would like to first apologize to Redtiger for the late review, work has been exceptionally busy recently and I thank them for being patient so I could get the time needed. I will break this review up into Main post & 2 replies which are "Key features and whats in the box", "Settings that stand out" and "Realtime videos and Summary" Here are the Key Features and whats in the box:
Key Features:
Triple-Channel Recording: Captures footage from the front, rear, and interior of the vehicle simultaneously.
Full-Color Night Vision: Offers enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, including in-cabin footage.
Dual Sony Starvis 2 Sensors with HDR: Provides improved image quality, especially in challenging lighting situations.
Wi-Fi 6: Enables faster download speeds for recorded footage.
Built-in GPS: Records location and speed data along with video.
Super Capacitor: Offers better performance and longevity than traditional batteries, especially in extreme temperatures.
24/7 Parking Monitor: Records footage when the vehicle is parked, with features like impact detection. (When used with the Hardware power kit)
Time-Lapse Recording: Allows for time-lapse recording of parking footage, saving storage space.
G-Sensor: Automatically locks footage in the event of an accident.
Loop Recording: Continuously records footage, overwriting older files when the memory card is full.
App Control: Allows for remote access to footage and camera settings via a smartphone app, the app is available for Apple and Android, I have an Android. The PC App from redtiger also allows for playing footage downloaded to a PC.
Adjustable Lenses: Provides flexibility in capturing footage from different angles.
Specifications:
Front Camera: 4K resolution.
Rear Camera: 2.5K resolution.
Interior Camera: 1080p resolution.
Storage: Supports up to 512GB of storage (128GB included).
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
Super Capacitor: 5.5V/3.5F.
GPS: Dual-mode (Beidou and GPS).
Wi-Fi: 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi 6.
Settings is done with the gear icon or the second button on the bottom. First off, we get resolution, and we are given the choice of running the front at 4K cabin in full high definition and rear at 2.5 K or we can decrease the resolution to 2.5 K for the front instead of 4K and the other ones remain the same in case you wanted to fit more on your memory card. You can also choose whatever you want sound to be recorded by default or not. And we also get a G-Sensor that is adjustable. You can adjust it to low sensitivity medium sensitivity or high sensitivity and this is what allows the dashcam to detect when you get into a car crash. We also get a fatigue reminder in case we wanted the dash them to remind us to take a break after a certain period of driving and for Wi-Fi we do get both 2.4 gigahertz and also 5 gigahertz options for faster video downloads start up some can also be enable or disable if you want the dash come to start silently. On the screen saver you can choose for the dash come to turn off the screen after a certain period of time it will continue recording in the background or if you want to have the screen on all the time you want to select.
You can see that you could also choose to disable the cabin camera in case you only wanted to record the front or the rear. You also can see the voice control command list and here’s where all the voice commands that are supported,
the next two option mirror flip and rear camera flip both of them are pertaining to the rear camera. The first one allows us to set that view horizontally, and the next one allows us to flip that view vertically, which can be very helpful for the installation position of the rear camera.
Moving over to park mode. You do need the option of hardware kit to enable this function, I for one won’t be using this feature for 3 reasons; 1) The Shelby GT500 drains the battery enough as it is and I would not feel comfortable having this run overnight 2) My car is covered every night so it would be of no use to me. 3) I have no interest in altering the Fusebox to hardwire this. One advantage I do have with the Shelby GT500 and this dash cam, when going to stores when driving around the Shelby Cigarette lighter seems to stay on and the dash cam still runs so this monitoring for the short term works out for me well.
You get two choices when you do hardwire this: either impact detection, which is this G trigger, basically if somebody impacts the vehicle when you’re parked that’s going to wake up the dash cam so it can make a record of it, or you can run it on time lapse recordings so you can stay on all the time recording a time lapse. And you can select for how long you want that time lapse to be created. You can select up to a 48-hour time lapse recording on the park monitoring. the next three options Date Stamp speed stamp and GPS stamps. Those are the watermarks that are shown on the video. You could choose to disable or enable either one of those independently in case you do not want to see any of that information. And the speed unit is also adjustable between kilometers per hour and mph.
As for languages, there is 10 languages you can choose from. The dash cam is GPS enabled so it can get the day and time automatically from the GPS. And they also given us the option for daylight savings time. Here you can enable that or disable that every time that time change happens. That way you don’t have to manually adjust the time.
The videos taken are crisp and clear as you can see in the videos even license plates are clear in the event you need it for anything. Everything is very Fluid being that the videos are in MP4.
The handsfree approach to voice commands to do functions is an added help and keeps your eyes on the road, between the 3 cameras you nearly have a 360-degree view around your car.
They give you 3-4 static cling for the windshield which is great so you don’t have to waste sticking it to the windshield and in the event you need to move it, makes it very easy to move it, after looking at this, I would suggest cutting them in half as I don’t think you need such large squares for the back camera since its small and very light, I believe half of it would hold the front camera fairly well, I’ll be giving this a try myself as soon as I get a chance.
One of the things that I noticed is the power plugs, I feel based on where I or other might end up putting it (Due to impeding sight, or as in some states they fine you for something blocking your sight, so putting it higher up on the windshield makes it a bit harder due to this, the USB C I feel should have been a 90 degree just to gain a bit more space without having to bend the power or back dash cam USB C connector.
A downfall at least for me (No fault of the companies) is the back dash cam, if your like me and have tinted windows, the back dash cam will become almost useless due to the light being considerably dimmer in the back. Some sort of night vision would be nice for situations like mine.
Another thing that I wasn’t a fan of was the back dash cam’s USB C cable, I like the length of the cable which even if its longer than needed makes the company make sure it covers nearly any car the one thing that I didn’t like is the thickness of that cable. Being this is a Shelby GT 500 I had no interest in taking apart the car to run the lines but I was able to over the door edges behind the weatherstripping but I still don’t understand the need for the thickness which I will look to get a narrower USB C cable to achieve the same thing. Its not a deal breaker but in some areas the cable being thicker does make it harder to hide behind because it makes that area not sit flush.
Another issue I ran into (more than likely attributed to the Shelby is my guess) is the G-Sensor. I had to turn off the G-Sensor as nearly any decent pothole the sensor would go off suspecting it had an incident, at first I had it at the default position, but I had to set it to low and still was not enough and had no choice to turn it off as the Event folder was filling up with regular video and doubling the spaced used. I figure if an event happens the likelihood that it will over write the clip is probably not possible, but with the cam recording normally and false events is just doubling the space used it would start over writing files but with a 128GB card and the ability to put a 512GB card I’m not worried about events being overwritten.
This Dash cam also has a Desktop standalone program to view the videos and even has google maps and other info As seen in the screenshot. But this program is quite buggy and really needs works, it constantly freezes, I would love if this program was stabilized.
The company as seen in the screenshots provided cable management clips, I couldn’t use it because my windows are tinted and I didn’t want to stick it to the tint. I wish they had edge mounting wire clips that had either double-sided tape or slid into the headliner to hold in place.
Overall this dashcam would be a nice addition for anyone looking for a good all around dashcam for those times when anything can happen, especially in this day and age when people are trying to do insurance fraud and you become the Guinea Pig without knowing it. I have been looking for an option without having to use my phone with an app, and now I found one.
