Unit has a quality feel to it, and installation instructions were simple to follow.
Have no use for rear cam and it’s such a pity 4K products all seem to have that as standard.
great quality video pictures. This paid for itself within a couple of weeks of fitting one in granddaughters car. A bus cutting corner hit the front of her car. All on video, insurance co has reinstated no claims bonus and waived excess. So, I fitted this in my car, and another one in my daughters car. Brilliantly clear pictures, front and rear.
The cam was good. Easy to install by using tools included. The video quality was good. Only at night the cam video quality was not as good as I expected. Overall it is a good product to buy.
Got this for my son’s car and was really surprised at the quality of the videos especially at night time. Only slightly annoying thing is you have to delete videos when memory card starts getting full instead of it taping over automatically – otherwise fantastic
Nice dash cam. Works well and easy to install yourself. Only downside is you can’t seem to download the rear camera and not easy to get the gps tracking to work.
Rear camera interferes with the radio as I’ve fitted it at the top of the screen as advised in the instructions
And as it’s attached with the sticky pad as already attached to the camara it could be difficult to remove and mount at the bottom
Only connected front camera undecided presently whether to install rear camera. Looking at utube fitting suggestions which at the moment look a bit daunting. Picture quality vg can read reg’s easily. I prefer to download and check footage with a reader onto my PC and use the free download app VLC to view etc. Incidentally in VLC the playback is practically seamless across the downloaded segments. I like the touchscreen options. Overall pleased its certainly a vast improvement on the one I replaced which cost a good deal more.
Works really well. Easy to fit. Playback videos are good.
For info: If you want to play the videos side by side along with GPS coordinates, you need to install Witcam player for windows or Witcam pro for android, the links for which will be in user manual. The front camera videos will have suffix A and rear cam videos will have a suffix B in the file name. Hope this helps someone.
I bought this dash cam because my old one broke and I needed a temporary one while I researched dash cams. However, I’ve decided to keep this its so easy to install and the quality is fab. I can’t believe how good it is for the money!!!!
Love it best buy for my car a must have.!!!!
Good quality camera .Very easy to install .
You tube video helpful
Need to buy sd card was the only niggle
It does what it says, also takes a large capacity SD card 128GB, has a built in battery.
Small that does not block view out of windscreen, also does not distract you when driving as the screen go dark but still recording.
Great product, high quality recording, easy to setup. I did I by myself in under half an hour.
This is my second one no complaint about either of them. Perfect for peace of mind, just make sure to get correct SD card for it.
I dont use the app so can’t add any comments about that.
The picture quality is excellent, you can read license plates and colours clearly.
The only minor issue is using it but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it after a while.
I highly recommend!
Didn’t find anything to dislike, it’s a great price, for the quality Camera captured video footage & photo shots, (Day and Night) easy to read instruction for installation and correct useage. Very pleased with purchase . It’s a safe robust system that’s trustworthy accurate, providing you set it up correctly
Purchased in April 2021 and fitted into my wifes car. Rather than use the DC5 V 2A charger I also bought the kit to hardwire it. Fixing it into position and wiring it in was fine, the earliest problem being the rear camera becoming detached from the back window. The car is a hatchback, so I assume with the constant opening and closing it was too much for the adhesive tape supplied. I sorted that out with clear silicon.
More recently the reversing grid has been showing on the front camera view as well as the reverse and a reset does nothing to change this. In the last week when the camera is running on the hardwired kit the image at the start of recording is flashing between front and rear cameras and only when it runs (briefly) on it’s internal battery does the image stablise. All the wired connections still appear to be ok between the camera and the battery, rear camera etc. In a nutshell it was generally fine for 12 months but sadly does not appear to be built to last and I will removing it as it is becoming a distraction for the driver.
EDIT As I was taking the wiring out I noticed that the wiring to connect the rear camera to the front had become frayed in a hidden location, thus causing the screen problem, so my fault for not making sure wire was not securely in place. Changed review from 2 stars to 4 as since disconnecting rear camera it is working better.
Got this for my first car and it is just what you need nice and small easy to fit and use . I have told people to get one
Quick dispatch, quality of recording is great. Easy to set up.
You can set the rear camera up and change the view to reverse to be able to read the number plate of the car behind you instead of trying to read it backwards.
Front mount is good & very secure. You can change the angle in the X and y axis which makes it easier to set up the right angle to record. I do find it difficult to remove the camera from the mount as it so have left it on display instead of putting it away each time.
Rear camera is attached with sticky pad which I thought looked good but has started coming loose about 2 months later so I’ll need to get something else to help stick it in place (there is holes to add screws but I didn’t want to have to add holes into the inside of the car)
It was overall a very nice dashcam but the stickiness wont stick though
In my opinion this dash cam is a very good quality one, the footage is excellent a doddle to fit it, it has a split screen so you can see front and rear at the same time and I fitted mine to the left of my rear view mirror for less distraction and the rear one in the middle of my rear tailgate at the top.
Easy to fit behind rear view mirror so does not get in driver’s vision excellent picture quality it does need to be plugged into car with battery back up, I haven’t fitted the rear view camera as yet.
I have had several dashcams over the years but never had a Front & Back camera system. Firstly I was impressed with how easy it was to set up and use, all touch screen & if the GPS unit is used there is no need to set date & time etc. I was then extremely impressed by the clarity of the video/pictures. I have had several types of camera ranging from cheap to expensive, this camera produces the best picture quality I have ever had on a camera that even the more expensive ones i have owned.
The seller is very good, very fast delivery, and brilliant communication throughout.
Overall, this is the best purchase of a dashcam I have ever made from a brilliant seller – I am very pleased with it.
Highly recommend this car camera set up as is a quick installation process then high quality picture on back and front cameras in both night and day and once you set the app up with the cameras you then can use the rear camera as parking camera if your phone is in a holder if you cant see the rear camera footage on front camera scree
Quality is enough, number plates are visible even at nighttime. This product can save you a lot of money and hassle and for the price is a value for money.
Camera quality realy good, light weight. Loads of features, night vision, photo, reverse parking if wired into reverse light, parking sensor if hard wired, screen saver, WiFi and witcam Pro app on my phone work great. Bought this for piece of mind while up against rush hour in Newcastle. Very easy to install. My first dash cam, realy impressed.
+ The two cameras built in is really nice, its holding well 9 months later when I’m writing this.
+ Does the base job at recording while you drive well.
– You have to use their software to get the GPS to show. (Which may need constant internet connection but not 100% sure)
– Wifi didn’t work, wasn’t a problem as I like just putting the micro SD card in my pc.
– For advanced users planning to use this more than just a dash cam, the GPS points are encrypted. So you won’t be able to get the points. I sent an email to iiwey 6 days ago but haven’t had any response.
I received my camera quickly but unfortunately the rear camera didn’t work so the company sent me another rear camera. This camera didn’t work either so the company sent me a new front and rear cwmra, both of which are working. Very happy.
Camera is excellent quality and the touch screen is easy to use. I like the WiFi too.
Nice and simple to use, highly recommend!
Installing it in my car was very simple!
For Android users, you can use the AZDOME app, which is not even for this brand but it 100% works on my Samsung smartphone.
Just to clarify, you won’t be able to see your camera remotely from elsewhere, it will only access your camera videos when you’re in the car, without having to remove the SD card and all that, which is still pretty useful!
I bought this as a replacement for my old one with a different brand, which stopped recording. The quality is amazing, and records perfectly, however, I’ve noticed that when the car is at a stop, i.e. at traffic lights or in slow traffic, the camera display shows a countdown timer to turn off. I don’t know if it’s a setting I’ve not changed or if it’s the camera experiencing a problem? Some advice from the seller would be great!
So, I’ve been using it for a few days now, the first problem I had was with the suction cup, it just wouldn’t stick, so I looked on youtube and saw if you heat the cup with a lighter it makes the rubber more sticky, and yes it works, I saw a defect on the cup which may explain why the camera kept falling off before using the lighter trick.
The GPS speed monitor is around 10 MPH out at higher speeds. Location is fine using the Windows software but on Android you can see for yourself why it has a poor rating.
Picture quality is OK, nothing to rave about. Overall its OK, I doubt very much it could be used for any insurance claim if you was to have an accident due to its inaccurate speed monitoring.
The manual is rubbish. Thats the only downfall of this dash cam. The good thing is that the kit is that easy to put together and use, you wont need the manual. I got this bundled with a 128gb Samsung Micro SD and the front and rear cameras. I placed the front and rear cams in position and then ran the cables. To make a neat job of it, you may come across a crevice or a compartment to hold any slack cable and then tuck the rest of the cabling behind the weatherproof seals etc.
Once the cables were installed and everything was connected, i quickly tested the two cams to make sure all was working fine,and could see the image on the small screen on the rear of the front cam. Now I was happy all was working fine, I disconnected the front cam and ran through the settings for time and date and quality prefernce of the video for cam etc.
The Android app is called KaKa, whilst it isnt great and has a poor GUI, it does the job.
Activate the wifi AP mode by stopping any recording and clicking the wifi symbol, then follow the on screen instructions for the password.
The quality of both camera’s is very very good. Easily pick out reg plates and even finer details. Both camera’s have a very wide viewing angle allowing to see a good range.
The internal mic is also of decent quality to record the audio from within the car.
So far, im very happy that I have pretty much all angles covered at all times of driving my car and know ill be able to use any footage as reliable evidence should I need it for insurance purposes.
Well worth the purchase and the price.
Bought this dash cam to start recording bad drivers etc the quality of the front cam is great very clear my only issue is the time will not set keeps returning to original time when received
Good dash cam. Clear pictures. GPS record works too.
If you use both cameras, the maximum resolution will be only 1080 (full HD) per camera. If only the main cam is in use, the setting can be 1440.
The manual mention an Android app what is not available. I use the recommended Roadcam app. It works with that.
A firmware update couldnfix some software problems:
– if you set the speed to miles per hour, it only change the unit but not how it calculates it. 50km per hour will be displayed as 50 miles per hour. I keep it on km/h, so if I need to use as evidence, I no need to explain.
– rear cam recording is mirrored, regardless the setting about it. You can change the settings to mirrored or not, the picture will be mirrored.
Fantastic, as good quality if not better than my high end nextbase!
Front and rear are ultra clear, reverse camera mode is so very useful, which I haven’t seen in a similar dash cam.
Customer service is again brilliant, after I received mine I realised the supplied cable wasn’t long enough for my MK1 Volvo XC90 and so the team arranged an extension cable for me without issue.
GPS is very accurate with speed etc and the app that is suggested for viewing the footage is also very good with exact position shown on a map.
I did purchase a 3rd party polarising lense to reduce glare from the dashboard and retrofitted it, as my dash is a light colour which was causing a reflection. This has completely sorted the issue and is not unique to this dash cam, any camera would have suffered the same (unless it had a built in polarised lense)
All in I highly recommend this dash cam, it’s slightly cheaper now than when I got it but even at a higher price I feel this is a great buy
It is so easy to install and set up. I honestly can’t believe people pay something like 50 to a well-known company for them to install the dashcam with how easy it is. I used the YouTube video for guidance, which helped by showing how to make the wiring tidy. It records a full journey and footage is displayed with a map reference and speed in side windows in the mobile and desktop app. Brilliant value for money. Highly recommended.
Ive had a few dashcams in the past that went so great. But this dash cam is great. Took a little while to install but is small and discreet. This dashcam has a h guy ood quality camera the wires are easy to conseal. Video playback is good too. Would highly recommend this camera with the gps.
Great camera. Only problem was the DAB radio stopped working when the rear camera is plugged in. Could not be resolved so just unplugged it.. TBH..wouldn’t bother buying again with a rear camera. WiFi handy if you need to download events to your phone via the app. No need to be removing sd card… over all, happy with camera.
After a couple of memory error issues I recieved a new camera and it works perfectly fine using the same memory card as previously purchased, easy to use touch screen, very clear image, easy to connect to the WiFi, easy to set up, comes with a tool to help fit the camera to your vehicle, i haven’t connected the reverse parking wire yet as I want to get the rear camera in perfect placement.
Only issue I have is with the pads to stick camera to the screen, I would of preferred a slightly different design for the rear cam and have screws as an alternative way of securing it.
All in all a good item and worth the money.
Bought this for my mother as she was looking to get one installed. Probably saved about 150+ Euro on buying this and not paying to have it installed by a technician. It’s very easy to install, just look up a youtube video on installing dashcams and you’re flying. The rearview is also a massive bonus as many of the dash cams don’t have this as a standard addition. All the instructions were very easy to follow, and after about an hour we had it fully installed and working with my mother’s phone etc. Great bit of kit, will be buying one for myself soon enough.
Great product but having problems to connect to the internet any experts out there can advise. I’ve a modern phone and I’m doing as the book says then whilst trying to connect message pops up saying cannot connect to the internet. apart from this I believe its a great camera, front and rear. would have been a 5 stars if it wasn’t for this itch.
Worth buying. I have searched for the best dash cam for my new car. It has two cameras, front and back. Also, It has GPS on the video recording. The only things that I can say, it does not keep the battery charge for a long time.
Nice camera, brilliant picture quality. Have only installed front camera at the moment due to time constraints. Yes it is not the best camera on the market,
but then it is at a budget price. If you want a straightforward dash/rear camera, this is really worth consideration.
After sales service EXCELLENT. Camera had fault that could not be overcome with service back up. Iiwey sent a replacement camera within days, no quibble. Thats what seperates a good company from the also rans.
Great bit of kit for the price, the physical set up is easy. Although the user interface whilst works perfectly well, is a bit tricky to work out. Once you get the hang of it and the order of things it’s great.
Picture quality is really good and app is easy but once you work out the order of how to.
I recommend this to anyone who is looking for drive and be safe on the road . The quality is very high, it has a big plus because you can add an sd card of 128 GB ,others are supported a maximum of 32 GB
Also,you can see on your phone every single video that is on camera
I really like it and I’m happy with my order
I added a screenshot of the app of my phone
I ordered this Dash Cam and received it on 9th March. I am so far really pleased with this. It looks well made and quite expensive. So the camera quality is excellent. It was very easy to fit in my car. The picture quality is very good, both front and back cameras are very clear. I cannot comment at present about the night vision as I have not driven my cat at night but I will let you know at a later date my view on this. So far I am extremely pleased with this camera, I just have to learn how to use it properly now.
I purchased one of these dashcams for my wife a few months ago. She has a C4 Picasso, so due to the high windscreen, it took a little while to decide where to install it (passenger side lower corner of screen). Its only small, so you can almost forget its there. Quality wise its great with all recordings clear and the wide field of view catching everything, even though it is at the bottom left of the windscreen. The rear camera is easy to install, once you have worked out a cable route, and again the quality if amazing. I am very impressed with the GPS also, with it being great to be able to use the PC GPS viewer to trace your route on the map. I did have a problem with recording being corrupt, but it turned out to be a faulty SD card, as using a different card solved the problem. This didnt deter me, as I have just purchased the same S1 dashcam for my own car, and am looking forward to using the reversing camera feature, once I have the courage to wire up the red wire to my car (C3 Picasso). I would fully recommend this well built, easy to use, fully featured dashcam.
Both cameras are of good quality and very easy to install if your not hard wiring, for me I hard wired and I found it rather easy but every vehicle is different. Picture quality is great day or night.
The screen is 3″ and I find it’s the perfect size and doesn’t interfere with your view. And the touch screen makes it easy and quick to navigate through.
Connecting to your phone via WiFi of the camera, ingenious idea!!!!! Connect your phone to the camera down load or view the videos is super easy, and makes life so much easier then keep taking out the memory card.
The screen does freeze if you go to fast but as they say less haste and all that. You do have to turn things off and on though like motion detector before you drive off and when your parked which is annoying really as it means you have to remember and go through settings to do it each time. It would be better to just be able to drive and not worry.
Very good product for the money, easy fitting and easy use.
I purchased this after moving to an area where you have to parallel park on cramped streets, and I was worried about my car being damaged. This has alleviated my worries. After trying 2 cheaper camera before this, which were inadequate, this camera was worth the extra money. It stays stuck on my window and it’s motion sensor is intelligent, only activating when needs be (I have it on low sensitivity). It’s easy to set up to, but I did purchased some sticky clips to install it and keep the wires near. Overall, worth the money.
EDIT:
After contacting the seller of this product directly, I have now been kindly offered a hardwire kit for free to make up for the product’s shortfall (see below).
It was never a complaint about the actual product (see my original post below), or the delivery. In fact the delivery was very speedy indeed. All in all I’m now happy how this has been resolved for my own particular predicament. I would like to add at this point that any prospective buyers please check your point to point measurements from power input to the actual camer (Dashcam connection) BEFORE you purchase.
Unfortunately I’ve really not had the chance to test this out properly because the power lead which comes with the whole package was not long enough to reach both connecting ends in my car’s set up. 3.5 meters of power cable turned out to be about a meter short for a comfortable fit from the dashcam fitted on the centre of my front windscreen, to the backend of the centre console in my car where the cigarette lighter port resides. The provided cable would have fitted okay if my car had a front (under the main dashboard) cigarette lighter port fitted, but it doesn’t, and that’s where the problem lies. If the manufacturer’s made the cable another 1 to 1.5 meters longer then everything would have been okay with this particular purchase. Unfortunately for me I’ve now got to send the item back as it appears there is no solution to this problem because there does not appear to be a LONGER cable to fit the needs available for purchase on the Amazon store. What’s even more frustrating is there is no obvious dimensions of the power cable’s length mentioned in the main description either, so I just assumed it would be a good fit anyway.
Brilliant dash cam. Love the rear camera as I have been using it as a reversing camera!
The touch-screen makes accessing and altering the settings very easy and intuitive.
Easy to transfer your video clips to your phone using the Wi-Fi connectivity and ‘Kaka’ app so you do not have to remove the SD card (not supplied) or take the dash cam indoors to transfer videos.
The rear camera may cause a bit of interference with your car radio (especially DAB radio) but I fixed that by fitting ferrite cores at each end of the rear camera cable.
Lamoe customer service was excellent; helping me out immediately with the above interference issue
Hi.
I really like this product.
Obviously you can see the overall quality isn’t as high as dash cams from big shops and big names but this one does the job.
What I like the most is g sensor sensitivity, it is so sensitive someone’s just touching your car while parked and cam starts recording. Some ppl might find it useful some might not. I like it.
The problem is built-in battery, very little capacity which is obvious really, but IMO would last enough to record around.. 4 “touches” to your car,
And now comes the question anyone tried to dismantle the camera and instead of built-in battery plug it into power bank?
I know it sounds ridiculous but I think it could actually work.
Many thanks,
Lm
Firstly, super quick delivery! Was dispatched and delivered 1 day earlier than expected.
Arrived well packaged and protected with an instruction/installation manual and a tool to help hide the cables along the trim.
Set up and install was straight forward. I would recommend plugging it into the cigarette lighter and laying everything out in an order to firstly make sure everything works as it should, and also to help you to figure out what you are putting where and on which part of the window you will stick the cameras and GPS receiver etc.
As stated in the description, you will need a specific Micro SD card (Not Included). I never ordered a specific one as I already had a few micro SD cards but none of them worked in this dash-cam. I ordered a SAMSUNG EVO SELECT 128GB Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 which works perfectly.
Took it for a test run and all seems really good.
Easy to download the files directly from the dash cam onto my iPhone.
*Will add another update in a couple of weeks, but so far, I’m happy with this purchase.
Camera arrived looking well packed and made. It’s sold as a dual camera system with a 2k resolution but you can only use that resolution if the rear camera is not plugged in. Lacks some controls like vide settings or the ability to rotate the rear camera orientation/mirror image that’s found on much cheaper cameras. Make sure you check rear camera position before sticking it on as it can’t be changed In software. Also it’s worth buying the hardwire kit as the camera is powered by 5V. Other than that for the money you can’t argue
Still early stages with the camera, but so far I’m really happy with it. Very easy to set up, small and compact and the app works fine when I’ve tested it.
The night vision is good and the lens is very wide angle, so captures quite a lot. The team rear camera is more basic, but serves its purpose.
For 80 I think this is excellent value for money and award it five stars. I’m likely to buy another one for our other car.
I broke the screen on my camera while installing it, the Company has since offered to replace the main Camera body at no cost even though it was my own fault, you cannot get a better Customer Service than that. Even with the cracked screen I have been able to test it out, set up was as simple as inserting the SIM card and plugging it in, recorded and played back easily and perfectly, very happy with the product and even more happy with the Company and Customer Service.
I tried 5 different dash cams prior to this one and all of which I returned, as there was always at least one thing that either didn’t work, or worked poorly. 2 of them could not get a signal from the rear camera, 2 had hopelessly inaccurate mph reading from the gps and the last one had very poor low light performance. This one on the other hand, ticked all of the boxes. Excellent image quality, extremely impressive low light performance and accurate gps speed reading. My previous dash cam was bought and fitted (hardwired) at double the price by Halfords but I decided to save myself some cash and attempt to fit this myself, which I did without too much trouble. The camera itself is much better than the one fitted by Halfords (Nextbase) and far cheaper too, so I’m glad I didn’t just cave and go back to them this time. Highly recommended!
Instructions worked
Rear camera appeared faulty, contacted Amazon – straight through to a person
Explained situation – passed on a techie – was cut off – rang again – straight through – explained – on to a techie explained I only wanted a replacement rear camera – could not do it, wanted whole kit sent back. Explained as it had been fitted into the car this was not easily possible – asked for a manager and after explaining a full refund was agreed. CC received the credit that day. Ordered a replacement dash cam, price had gone down!
Excellent service, cannot fault Amazon and replacement camera immediately worked when connected
The person in the cut off call sent me an email saying he had monitored situation and was pleased that it was agreeably sorted out – again what good service
Got this dashcam to replace an old Maisie dashcam which kept failing. It’s early days but it seems very good with a very easy to use interface and very clear pictures. The rear camera even operates satisfactorily through a heavily tinted rear window. I am very happy with this dashcam.
Dash cam with a lot of features not available on other cameras. I don’t use the reversing camera as the sreen is behind my rear view mirror, but is a nice feature to have. Easy to fit, good clear picture, rear camera nice to have. Once GPS player downloaded excellent feature of having map, speed, time etc. should it be required for an insurance claim. There is also a record of your driving history, to confirm you have been driving responsibly (or not) as the case may be.
It consistently works, it is discrete without silvery bling to attract the attention of others, the screen is touch and not just the buttons. The image quality is good and wide without distortion. the finish quality is good I have not tried the rear view camera yet but will get back when I do..
This is packed with features and I thought would be excellent, but when I got it and read the manual I was out off for following reasons. I returned it for a prompt refund but if I’d known the following I would rather have paid a bit more for a better known brand.
Amazon bundled it with sandisk memory cards, so I bought one. Manual says specifically sandisk won’t work, only Samsung and Kingston recommmend. That should be in description and especially not offered by amazon in a bundle that won’t work!
Secondly the manual seems to infer product could overheat and freeze in use if use certain settings. I can’t be bothered fiddling with loads of options to keep it stable so sorry not for me.
Thirdly, I didn’t realise just how many wires. I assumed when it said WiFi, it would be wire free installation. That just means for downloading videos to phone via app.
As said in title I’m sure this is a fantastic product at the price but not for me.
I can’t rate actual use as didn’t proceed further than reading the manual.
I decided to buy it for my daughters car first last year and it is a great camera so I had no hesitation in buying one for my new car . We are very pleased with it the camera seems very good quality and the images are more than adequate. We had this installed professionally in a Toyota aygo, and also in a hyundai i40 the camera is small enough to have just behind the rear view so it’s out of sight and not a distraction, the guy who fitted it originally tried to sell us one of his cams but they started at 200 so I declined, when I picked up the car after installation he actually commented to say how good the camera was.overall very pleased.
Having tested several more expensive dashcams over the years I thought I would try something a little less expensive and I was not disappointed. This is a great camera kit for the price.
Firstly the customer service from IIWEY is excellent. They always respond within 24 hours. Support advised a software update which once done solved most of the issues I had during initial set up.
Picture quality is solid in day and night, front and rear. I would love a higher resolution from the front camera (1440p would be nice especially for night time) but 1080 is fine. The touchscreen is very easy to use and gives the camera a more premium feel than the clicky plastic buttons you find on most dashcams. The cables are more than long enough and the cigarette lighter socket even includes USB ports.
The red wire on the rear camera activates the rear camera on the screen when you engage reverse gear (you need to wire the red wire to the reverse lights). This is a handy feature which also overlays proximity lines which can be helpful when reversing. A neat feature which many more expensive cameras do not have.
Ensure you format your SD card properly on a computer first – use default settings. I formatted using manual settings and the camera would fail to record properly on it until I formatted again. It was a brand new premium 128gb SD card. A 128gb SD card will keep around 10 hours of footage on the camera at all times.
If you have a DAB Digital Radio system in your car, you may need to add additional ferrite cores to the power cables to and from both cameras and the GPS unit. These are available cheap (3mm works fine) and stopped my DAB signal from dropping out every 20 seconds which is common with many dash cams.
All in all a great camera I have already recommended to friends and family and I will purchase again from IIWEY in the future.
Well made, easy to install. I didn’t give stars for night vision as I haven’t used it after dark yet. The menus work well and are easy to follow, no weird stuff or unexpected responses. Very wide angle front lens, I put it on the left side of the screen to make hiding the wire easier but still covers all the road from there.
Camera works well. The seller response was excellent. To those trying to hide these type of cameras, don’t! I was targeted in a crash for cash scam that wrote off my car. You want the scum to see you have a camera and avoid deliberately crashing you rather than using it as evidence afterwards.
Easy to install. The camera comes with a little plastic tool to help poke wires in behind interior parts of the car, so it was very easy to add to my Sandero Stepway.
My set up is Cigarette Lighter charger -> GPS -> Front Camera <- Rear Camera. [There was also lots of extra wiring, particularly for the rear camera, which ended up being tucked away so it would definitely fit larger cars!] The camera records in good quality and the GPS is very accurate. The GPS connected to the camera provides you with a speed stamp in the video, next to the date/time stamp, as well as providing a route view when using the app. NOTE! For those who don't want their speed/location being associated with the video you can opt to skip the GPS connection and just record video without it being a part of the video. Without speed tracking you can set it up as Cigarette Lighter -> Front Camera <- Rear camera. Lamoe-UK have also been brilliant for responding to any queries I have had.
Bought this for my wife’s car as it had rear facing camera as well (check orientation before using sticky pad, I originally installed rear camera upside down, Doh!) Included trim slide tool very useful when hiding cables, nice touch. The software is fairly self explanatory but the one niggle is the Time Zone setting is not in the device setup menu with the date and time settings, it is in the RECORDING SETTINGS. So it took me some time to stop the GPS reverting the time to six hours earlier. App allows Wifi access via mobile to check recordings and software also available for PC.
I used a Kingston microSD U3 as recommended by manufacturer. I have also purchased the hard wire kit amazon list above but have to wait until my daughter returns with the car from a short trip away to install.
Bought this with the hardwire kit, fitted without any problems so it powers on/off with the ignition, very happy with it.
2 minor points, when using the GPS if you want your speed to also show, throws to he clock time off by 4 hrs, turned off the GPS and the time stays stable. Other point to mention is it states to use a u3 speed SD card as freezing on U1 cards can occur, the bundle of cam, hardwire kit and SD card, has a U1 card and I didn’t spot this, however it works ok and has not froze on me yet a few weeks in.
The camera is great! I bought this for my brother and he is extremely happy with it. He said that the quality of it and the fact that it offers both back and front view as well. I hope he won’t need the evidence and everything will be ok on the roads but considering how easy it is to set the whole thing up, it’s better to keep it on just in case. Also, it holds on very well, because I know that some cameras keep flying of the window, but he is confident about this one staying on sturdy.
My brother bought this exact model a few weeks ago and it’s really good. The nighttime vision impressed me so much I have upgraded from ours and bought the same one because we wanted a slightly bigger screen. I cannot install it yet as our new car doenst arrive for another month sadly but I removed all the parts to check everything was working and take some photos. The cam itself has super clear recording detail and as I say night vision is really clear and if unfortunately you do need the receding as evidence in the future this is essential. Very happy thanks
The video quality is excellent and very clear once played onto the laptop or monitor with high definition screen. I found it really easy to operate and navigate through menu options. The rear camera has been a challenge in installation down to my poor diy skills but I managed to get it sorted at the end. So overall happy for the time being and didn’t observe any issues at the moment.
The app on the phone is brill to sync the driving route with on drive speed and GPS coordinates. This is very much useful in an event when you need to challenge certain incident so I would recommend installing the app and regularly sync through the WiFi connection of the dash cam which is very straight forward.
So far so good. Installing the dash cam is straight forward. Setting up the dash cam is easy enough to do. Only used for a short time now. Video quality is good. GPS seems to be accurate. When I’ve used it for a few weeks then i will update this review. Update on this dash cam. I really like this dual camera set and the quality is excellent. I’ve also purchased a 2nd one for our other car. Customer service is excellent. I would highly recommend this dash cam.
Iiwey camera review
I had never heard of the brand before this purchase, so I picked this based off the great reviews. I needed to replace the mirror dash cam that we had because the rear camera (which sits on the mirror itself) has a tough time seeing out the back of our rear windows due to their shape and size.
Setting it up was straight forward – the supplied cables were long enough and tough enough to be tucked away tightly within the trim of the car. The front camera is small and has a great little adjustable suction cup to keep it on the windscreen. The rear camera has a 3M adhesive part to stick it to the rear window. The rear camera had to be carefully fitted due to the car I drive being a car which has “van doors” – it made things a little awkward with wiring due to it requiring extra slack, but within 20 mins it was all sorted.
The user interace is simple and intuitive. The touchscreen is responsive without being too sensitive. The camera switches itself on and will start to record automatically. It loop records and so a lot of footage gets stored on the mini SD card. The footage itself is great! The quality is very good and images are clear allowing number plates to be easily read (I deliberately attached images which didn’t show other people’s number plates so as to not be invading on anybody’s privacy). Both the rear and front dash cams will record and they are saved to separate files. The built-in G-Sensor will also automatically record what it feels to be any accidents or incidents to a new video file, so as to not override any existing footage.
This is the best dual dash cam setup that I have owned.
A Unique Dash cam thats built with high quality material. The HD resolution of 1440p and 1080p have ability capture sharp and clear footage of recordings. The GPS tracker which comes with it is very helpfull especially when i need to monitor my sons driving I love the feature that allow me to access the dash cam and recordings via mobile app; the app shows complete journey map speed and Live video instantly on your phone. So this dash cam is highly recommend also was delivered on time so thank you Amazon.
I must say I’m not that sharp with car stuff but this i may was great and easy to set up and it fantastic u don’t even really need to spend money on installation it grea
This camera was perfect for my needs, which were to upgrade the basic recorder I already had to one with a rear facing secondary cam and a GPS module to record speed. It was the best priced cam on the market offering the features I wanted.
I was surprised with the overall quality of packaging. The user manual was actually very helpful too and worth reading. I would never have figured out you can swipe the screen to change camera between front and rear, for example. Watching back the video and it’s good quality. The GPS app is quite fun, and it’s really useful when you’re out exploring and find somewhere worth remembering for a future visit. I haven’t bothered using wifi mode yet.
The only thing holding this back from 5 star is the parking mode. It’s just not really practical. More expensive cameras will use the GPS module to detect you’ve parked and automatically switch between normal driving and parking mode. This camera will not do that. If you want parking mode you will need to switch it on and off manually every time you park. Because of that I didn’t bother with the parking mode feature and just wired on to a switched fuse for a simple life.
It took me a while to install both front and rear cams ‘invisibly’ in my new car. 128G TF card was inserted, so the highest video and pic quality was set. The quality is better than I expected, the traffic condition and car plates were clear, and GPS module helps to track the route. Also received software update alert from the seller. Do recommend.
My current dashcam is no longer working all of a sudden, and that is why I needed to get a new one. This dashcam is by far the most expensive, yet the best dashcam that I have ever got. The video quality is amazing and you can clearly see the details of the cars and roads even at night. The GPS and Wifi functions are also very good because I can now access the video directly instead of fetching the micro-SD card and replay it on my computer. The cigarette plug is also very good because it comes with a USB charging port. Overall it is a very good dashcam, and I am hoping that I can use it for a few years before I need to replace it with a new one (my old one only works for 4 months).
Very crisp image playback, the screen is very high resolution and is also camera so the whole thing is amazing, when scrolling through the settings it is very responsive. The screen is touchscreen very simular to a phone and not the old fashion things.
Every time a button is pressed a noise is sounded to acknowledge its been pressed.
It has everything that is needed from a dash camera.
I havnt setup the rear camera as of yet but I’m sure that’s just as good. But even if it isn’t the rear camera doesn’t need to be as the main one is important.
At slow in town speeds you can see the oncoming traffic registrations but at high speeds like all cameras they becoming too blurry. Not even the top dash camera can do this yet.
The playback if you have the GPS enabled you can see where each clip has been recorded and at what speed. Very impressed playback system. I used the Kakaok app which was in the instuctions to use and worked perfectly and very simple to use.
I bought this dash camera to replace my old faulty one.
This dash cam appealed to me because it has both front and rear recording and also WiFi so you can download any images straight to your phone.
Set up was very very easy. I fed the cables round my door trim and u.der the roof headliner which was very easy to do.
The cable for the rear camera is huge at 18ft so you will have plenty of cable.
Once installed in the car I set up the dash cameras time and date and recording preferences. I always like to record qith 3 min clips as they are easier to deal with when you need them.
I put in a 32GB micro SD car which is plenty big enough as the recordings just loop record once it’s full so you don’t need to worry about constantly having to remove the SD car to erase data and make room for new recordings.
I downloaded the app and connected it to the dash cam so I can view the live video on my phone and also download recordings and screen shots straight to me phone. This is a great feature if you ever need to get the video quickly and don’t have access to a pc.
The vidwo quality is exceptional, I have it set up to recors front and rear so the quality is 1080p for both, I have included a clip so you can hopefully see how good the quality is. Reading of number plates is very clear.
All in all I am very very happy with this dash cam and hopefully it will last me for a good few years.
I have to give it 5 stars because its so easy to set up and use and the quality is brilliant.
I bought this dashcam as I was in need of an upgrade
My old one was pretty crap quality and kept cutting out.
I was drawn to this as it had so many great features like GPS, WiFi, front and rear cameras and even the option to use the rear as a reversing camera
I have attached a shirt clip to show just how crystal clear the recording is. Ideal for both busy city streets and secluded side track roads where you could encounter wildlife at any second.
It was so simple to install and both the on camera settings and the app are intuitive to use.
One additional positive is the power source has an additional USB slot so you. An still charge a phone or similar and don’t lose out on the functionality if your car console.
Really impressed and blown away with the value for money.
Makes me feel secure knowing I’m covered for any eventuality.
*Edited to add that I had uploaded a video to show the clear quality but Amazon had compressed it so much it was not a true reflection. The picture is flawless viewed either on the camera itself, on the smartphone app or on a computer.*
I have always wanted a camera that had GPS and wifi built in and this seemed to tick both boxes. It had the added benefit of having a front and rear camera. I used to have 2 cameras but it was really annoying trying to time code things and this made it much easier as the time comes from the main unit. I have it set to full hd as I need a quicker card to make it do the higher res. But as you can see, it is still clear.
I am pretty happy with the quick setup and think it is small enough not to be a destraction.
My only gripe is the fact that the cable to the rear cable is not quite long enough for the way I wanted to cable. But I worked it out in the end.
