eBoTrade Dirct Dash Cam, Car Camera, 2.5" Wide Angle 6 LED Night Mode Dashboard Camera Recorder with Sony Exmor Video Sensor, Loop Recording (Black)

When I saw the price I first thought "This must be Junk" then I read the reviews and decided I'd trust them and give it a try.1st - The battery cover only snaps closed when the supplied battery is not installed; when its installed the cover does not completely lock closed and shakes off periodically.2nd - I installed a 64GB card and the unit wouldn't record. I read the instructions and its limited to a max 32 GB slower speed card.3rd - The unit is advertised to have a 270 degree field of view; It actually is barely able to capture the whole rear end of the car in front of you at a stop. More like a 40 degree field of view.4th - The unit is advertised as recording at 1080P but I think it records at 240 and just enlarges the output file to 1080P.5th - The video file quality was so bad that you can't make out the plate number of the car in front of you except at a stop.6th - The video quality is worse than the original Apollo moon video; You think I'm being facetious but I'm not.7th - The video records based on motion and creates a new file every X minutes, but on the way home there are periods that were not recorded at all; multiple 4 or 5 minute periods just completely missing.8th - I doubt the quality of the recorded file would be good enough to capture important details of an event or cross traffic due to being out of frame and may not be high enough quality to be useful in court.9th - I could only change the settings from the unit when plugged into a PC USB; when plugged into the car the unit auto records and menu button didn't respond.10th - I can't imagine a single person being happy with this unit and I suspect all reviews that had more than 2 stars are fake.I recommend you take the 17.00 and buy a notepad and pencil and sketch the event as you remember it.The ONLY positive thing I have to say is if you park your car toward something you want to monitor the motion capture may record some event. Although unless they walk up to the car and stick their face in the windshield you probably won't have any evidence useful to the police.

This seemed like a pretty good deal. The picture quality was ok and adding the needed micro USB card, it seemed to have a decent field too. After checking the camera out to make sure it worked, I then started to install in my car. Unfortunately the retaining nut ( made of plastic ) which is meant to tighten the gimbal, split in two pieces though I had not over-torqued it. So needless to say, I never got to use the camera. It sat on my desk for months and recently, having no way to find or replace this needed part, I gave the camera its final resting place in my trash. Caveat Emptor, Let the buyer beware. I would have been better off had I given twenty bucks to a homeless person.

With traffic where I live getting worse and worse, I decided to pick up one of these dash cams so I could be prepared in case I got into an accident. So far I haven’t had to use it in that way yet (knock on wood), but so far it seems like a great little camera for the price.It’s pretty easy to get going - I was able to start recording things pretty quickly. I still need to play around with the menus a bit more to get a feel for all the different features though. I like how you can fold the screen in a and still record so it’s not distracting while I’m driving. Picture quality is really good as well. Overall I think it was a good investment.

The jury is still out on this one. I got this yesterday and I'm having a really tough time trying to figure out how to program it. It will come on when I start the car but after about a minute, the screen goes black and I'm afraid it's not recording anymore. It's almost like it has a short it in somewhere. I have one almost identical to this one that I paid a little bit more for and I've had no trouble with that one. I guess you get what you pay for. :-(

I got this as a gage gift because my dad is a horrible driver. I installed in his car to prove to him how bad he really is but it captured so many things we didnt see ourself. He loves this thing and I actually think it's pretty sweet. Just wish the screen was a little bigger.

The idea was nice but this is low quality and it shows construction. Mounting bracket was loose and wouldnt tighten so camera moved on every bump, which is kinda pointless cause i risk having a accident to readjust it everytime. Never got a chance to put sd card it cause i couldn't keep camera straight. Wish i could get a refund. U can have this back.

This is awesome. Works with an sd card and fits perfectly in our Camaro dash. NICE AND DURABLE MOUNT

The product information is falsely advertised - this is not HD and definitely not 1080, the highest it goes is 720 and it still looks pretty bad. Can't see the the license plate number at all in the recording! The battery doesn't keep a charge so you need to keep in plugged in and it takes a standard size SD card, not a micro. Will be returning asap.
