Pretty good dash cam for the price.
As of right now, this cam set is marked down to $56, which I have to say is a fair price for it. My only complaints are the video is not as good as the ones the ones they show in their ads, there is no phone functionality and that you can only record two video feeds at a time (not all three).
As for the install, I hardwired it into my Corolla with a bit of effort and know how. I definitely don't recommend someone to do this on their own if they don't have much experience working on cars. Well, unless you're not picky and don't mind a wire hanging everywhere, then go for it. I had to remove a lot of paneling to hide everything just right. I bought a kit that was for $15 and was pretty simple and self explanatory on how to install. The cameras were a breeze to set up themselves as well.
I switched out the 32GB for a 128GB TF Card and it has been working successfully. It loop records, so I am not worried about running out of space on it. The video feeds are also pretty smooth and capture quite a bit. I tested the parking recording feature and that seems to do as it is intended, so far. It seems like when it doesn't sense any motion, it just continuously records at a lower bitrate until it picks up motion and switches back to HD for a bit. The night vision isn't all that great, where I am in a rural area with nothing but the moon luminescence for light, but can't expect your battery to support IR. Speaking of which, the only concern I have with this is if I ever leave my car parked for a couple of days or weeks and forget to unplug this camera, surely it would drain the battery, right? However, it has gone a day parked without incident so far, but I still keep a booster in the trunk, just in case.
Anyways, I am pretty happy with it. Are there better ones out there? For sure, but at $56? Probably not.
