Sent it back for a refund, just wouldn't turn on, Probably a faulty unit was going to get another but at the time out of stock, If you bought from Amazon Rog if anything goes wrong with it you got 30 days to open a returns request for a refund or replacent.

Yep, Amazon. I was getting some other things and thought I'd add this. Looks like a bit of fun, most other dash cams I've seen have been very much more cash, so see how it goes. I'm not expecting too much for £13 ! Thanks for letting me know

That one is very similar to my cheapo car cam ( £13 too).  Here's some vid from mine

They fit quite well above the rear view mirror facing forwards if you custom make a mount with a magnet or velcro.  The advantages are the price and that they are fully auto, just power up and they begin recording and they loop on a micro sd card (just over 3 hours on a 16GB)


The drawbacks are
1) not very good at night - the 'IR leds' are useless and not IR,
2) not very wide angle - I added a cheap chinese wide angle adapter designed for iphones,
3) not very robust (don't wire directly to 12V like I stupidly did without thinking - it needs to go through the cigarette plug transformer).
4) the quality is not good enough to record a numberplate unless you are inches away from it.  Still you can read it out aloud and the audio will record that.

On sd cards I just use the cheapest, they don't seem to need a fast card.  About £8 for 16GB.

Thanks ! Still worth a go at such a low price. I'll have some fun playing if nothing else

I can see how handy it can be, Funnily enough i had a pack of bikes following me up close then some overtook all caught on my little cheap camera. Although you'd need a front camera as well for number plates and such.. Think i might keep this camera till i can afford a good quality pair
