Good all round dash cam difficult putting in cable from back to front for cameras otherwise this works very well
I bought my Vantrue dash-cam in 2019. Everything works fine and I am happy with the product. Recently I had to have my windscreen replaced and only later realised that the fitters had not transferred the windscreen bracket for the cam. I contacted Vantrue customer support and was amazed and gratified when they immediately shipped me a replacement without charge. For a product that is already a couple of years old this really is superior customer support.
Branche avec le hardwire kit, tout fonctionne mais difficile de comprendre le parking mode. Le hardwire kit n’a que la connexion permanente donc oblig de couper automatiquement au bout de 30 minutes de mmoire.
The camera was so easy to get set up the front camera automatically manages the rear camera just had to buy a good memory card and its set up ready to be installed.
Trs bonne Dashcam facile installer avec une longueur de cble qui s’adapte mme au grosse berline. Le petit moins sera pour les petites voitures, y aura du mou de cble cacher. Qualit avant comme arrire assez bonnes. lecture de plaque et dfinition suffisante! on fait pas un film non plus.
Petit moins la connectique qui peut s’inverser quand on rebranche aprs avoir enlev la dashcam pour X raisons et du coup les 2 sont pas identiques et on peut l’abimer.
Firstly, I will start off saying that I also own the N2 Pro which I use for my daily driver. The S1 I use for my ‘weekend’ car, which, for preference, I’d rather have a camera right on the rear giving as much of a rear view image as possible.
The N2 Pro has done very well, is very good quality and so I believed I knew what to expect with the S1.
I wasn’t disappointed!
I will state, I did have a problem, which I will go into in a bit.
The camera was very easy to setup, didn’t really need the instructions-the camera guidance is plenty self explanatory, as it is easy to navigate through it’s options.
It doesn’t come with an SD card, you will need to get one yourself. But for a further 20, you can get yourself a very good micro SD card which is transferrable between other cameras and devices, so no issue there as far as I’m concerned.
The recording quality is flawless for both front and rear. Night vision is also very good and easily reads car number plates.
Now onto the issue. Which I’ll add now, was my fault, but it may aid others in knowing this as they may find the same issue but blame the camera.
I installed the rear cam cable behind interior trim panels, being mindful of not crushing the cable or trapping it against anything. It went under the headlining and out the top/rear to the camera which was located on the top middle of my rear windscreen.
The initial front to rear cable I received had 2 right angle connectors on it (one at each end).
This caused issues with the cable coming out of the rear camera-upwards straight into the glass, which applied pressure, making the cam rotate and putting strain on the connection (this part is not my fault but I’ll get to this in a bit too).
The cameras worked for a few weeks, but then the issue started. The front camera would freeze the entire time it was connected to the rear. If I disconnected the rear, the front worked perfectly fine. I tried ordering a different connector extension so to provide a straight connection out of the rear cam so it didn’t go upwards into the window. Not sure which cable had the standard universal size, as both Vantrue cable and aftermarket adapter cable have the same exterior size of male connector but the innards were smaller on the vantrue, or the aftermarket one was larger on it’s innards of the connector itself, so it didn’t fit. So, failing this, I took the front to rear cable out of the car and checked it. It had been crushed between the headlining meeting the side of the car. It hadn’t been split, just squashed. I contacted Vantrue customer services, stated the cable had been crushed and the rear cam didn’t work anymore. I offered to pay for a replacement cable (my fault for crushing), but they sent one out free of charge.
They have always replied very fast, are polite and very helpful, so respect to them for that! A lot of companies out there couldn’t care less or make you jump through hoops. Vantrue aren’t like that (not in my experience).
Tried the new cable, and also, to my surprise, it had only one right angle connector on it, and a straight connector!
The rear camera worked again! And also, the straight connector enabled the rear camera to be positioned as it should, without strain being applied or pressing up against the window.
Turns out, other people have had this issue. Rather than ignoring customers complaints like, again, a lot of companies would do and make you make do with what was in the box, they changed the cable connector on one end and dealt with that problem.
Now, I am unaware if they included the updated cable in the S1 cameras produced thereafter, if they even do still produce them. If they didn’t, and you have this issue (having a cable with 2 right angle connectors and a sloping window that the cable presses against), contact them and I’m sure they’ll be happy to help.
Don’t waste time/money trying to order your own replacement at your own cost if this is creating an issue, as you may find yourself wasting money because of the inside of the connector potentially being slightly different as happened in my case.
My first picture shows the replacement cable with one right angle connector and one straight connector.
My second picture shows the camera with the straight connector coming out of the rear camera (imagine it was right angle and went upwards, thus, the strain then applied).
The front cam sits neatly behind my rearview mirror almost to the point I can’t see it’s there!
The rear camera is small and inconspicuous and doesn’t obscure your view when looking back.
The cable is soooo damned long, you could run it almost anywhere and still reach the rear.
TL:DR Excellent camera good value for money. Excellent customer service that genuinely look to improve their product to the benefit of their customers.
To the one person who gave this camera 1 star because it doesn’t do wifi or bluetooth connectivity/view on phone etc… everything the camera can do is stated in the item description. None of that stuff you say it doesn’t have, is stated. Therefore, you only have yourself to blame for buying it. It’s like complaining you bought a fridge with no ice dispenser, and it doesn’t freeze the food nor dispense any ice! Ridiculous…
To the person who hardwired it in and then had intermittent power problems, it sounds like there is a loose connection between your power source you’re tapping into, and the camera. Or potential contact with the metal bodywork of the car.
Having my old dash cam stop working i decided on this one to replace it
The unit is simple enough to set up , fitting of the front camera was straight forward , but the rear camera has a thicker cable for some reason making it difficult to bend if you need a tight bend, i’m giving this a 4 for this reason
But dont let this put you off , this is a great unit with a good dash board view taken with a pc you can see virtually everything , where you were on a map , and speed , and also see the footage you recorded front and rear.
You cant go far wrong buying this unit.
The Vantrue S1 dash cam produces excellent video. The wide angle lens covers both sides of the road and I found it easy to install. The front camera easily slides onto the windscreen mounting making removal of the memory card much easier. The cameras are unobtrusive and activate when in parking mode should anything happen when you are away from the car. I would highly recommend this camera system
The camera is very well made and produces excellent results and is easy to set up.
The back up customer service is also worth 5 star rating. I contacted them requesting a front camera mount so that I could fit front camera in my second car. I received a reply within 24 hours and the mount was ordered within 48 hours with tracking number.
Thanks again Echo.
Just what I’d expect from Vantrue, quality and lots of it. Front camera is easy to set up and install with a movable lense making it easy to aim. The rear camera is where the four stars come in, easy to fit, but, and it’s a big but, the cable provided isn’t flexible enough for a hatchback car. Even with the boot shut the cable is putting the rear cam connection under strain so I can imagine after opening and shutting the boot many times, the rear camera connector will fail. I will try fiitting a P clip to the boot to minimize cable movement and update this at a later date. Appart from this niggle everthing else is spot on, footage front and rear is clear as a bell. Update, the P clip did the job and removed strain from the connector on the rear camera, it also means the camera doesn’t move up or down when the boot is opened and closed.
I was using other dash cam few days ago I have had an accident my dash cam video helped me a lot which was cheaper one but it did the job after that accident I decided to install good one
It has great quality and result
I am v happy
I bought this as a replacement for another manufacturer which had dial cameras. This S1 has a separate rear camera.
Installation isn’t too bad though be aware that the cable connecting the rear camera to the front is quite chunky and you need to be careful when putting it under trim. Top tip is run it front to back along the BOTTOM of the car, not the top, because you can get in the way of side curtain airbags.
Be carful about putting stress on the rear camera connector as it can snap inside the unit – I did this and had to get a new camera from the manufacturer (who were very helpful indeed by the way).
Ita a decent discrete camera. It fastens to the window via sticky pads, I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I have to give the car back in terms of 1) removing the old fitting cleanly, 2) getting replacement pads for the new car. However if that doesn’t bother you then that’s fine, at least they will never fall off!
Quality of the recording is good event night.
My car has a start/stop system which interrupts the power to the camera very briefly, the camera seems to then record for another few seconds and then turns itself off. I have to disable the start/stop system on the car for the camera to operate correctly.
Good product for this money, work stable, rear camera make video with good quality too. And without rear camera front one can do a 4K video. About night vision i expect more, but it’s the same like others dush cam. Generally speaking i like it because it’s small and not really visible, what I’ve been looking for.
I recently purchased this as I needed a dash cam for my car after there being a few issues on the road, I ordered this and it looked well built and when I unboxed it I found that it was well put together and built, installing this was very straightforward and just plug and play for anyone to simply put it together. The image quality of the camera is amazing and you can record in 4K too to give you crisp images and I’ve even used them for a wedding video. It is also quite small and hides away nicely. Great produc
Fitted this with hard wire kit and works as it should. Looks good and is compact.
Buona dashcam; occhio necessita di una sd apposita vi consiglio Samsung evo. Peccato non avere la connessione col cellulare, vi consiglio di cercarne una che si connette col telefono per una maggiore praticit.
Tres bonne qualit du produit. L’installation par le tuto est simple. J’ai achet le kit qui permet aussi une installation propre et cache (a contrario de l’allume cigare). La qualit est trs bonne. Le seul dfaut que je peux ventuellement faire remonter est que l’optique de peut pas tre rgl plus vers le bas. En effet sur des vhicules avec le pare-brise trs plongeant ( horizontale), l’enregistrement peux-tre un chouille trop haut.
J’ai eu un problme technique sur la camra arrire qui a t rgl trs rapidement par le SAV de Comfyer. Un merci toute l’quipe et un merci spcial a Ilse qui a gr mon dossier avec le plus grand professionnalisme !
come si regola la velocita delle immagini registrate?la riproduzione nel computer troppo veloce!qual? la procedura per modificare?’grazie
Fitted by Lexus service department unobtrusive alongside the rear view mirror
Good quality
Vantrue S1 Dashcam dual cam easy to install.20ft cabling for rear cam took around 30 mins to install. Strong 3M tape attached to cam so no screwing in needed.Stealthy design discreet.You can slide off front cam if its not hardwired and keep hidden.
User screen menu behind the front lens is clear and easy to operate and understand.
1080 HD footage in both cams producing excellent footage.GPS is build in the camera if you go to vantrue website you can download the windows or Mac GPS Player.
Park monitoring mode is avaiable on this cam but its needs to be hardwired in Vantrue does a hardwire kit brought separately.
Overall a robust and well designed product very pleased with its footage and ease of use.
Thanks Vantrue for a another excellent product.
P.S Kitty Cat wasnt included in the package
Very clear video quality front and rear. Fairly easy to install and menu system is OK as long as you read the instructions carefully.
It would have been five stars except for the time spent trying to get the GPS player initially linked on their website to function. Lots of suggestions by customer services about what I may have done wrong, one of which was driving at 200mph or more. What mystified me was no metadata showed up in file properties and this was probably required by the player I originally downloaded. As a last resort I went to the player download link again, this time it was a completely different player that actually worked presumably using metadata stored in a non-standard way on the video files. Be warned opening this player exe file to install it produced multiple danger warnings from the virus checker which have to be ignored if you want it installed. It also stated that it was less than a week old which confirmed that it was not available when I originally downloaded the other non-functional player. This player is, in fact a nicely designed piece of software using Google Maps.
One other annoying feature is that the GPS position information stamped onto the video appears to be in decimal notation which would have meant my house had shifted a considerable distance on a north south axis (no fracking near here). It is in fact degrees hours minutes with no spaces or symbols. May not seem important but could cause legal confusion.
Dopo che mi hanno salvato da un incidente dimostrando la mia NON COLPEVOLEZZA, sono alla costante ricerca della dash cam perfetta ed in questa (LUNGA) recensione vi spiego pregi e difetti di questa camera. Vi invito a munirvi di dash cam, al momento del bisogno avrete il coltello dalla parte del manico con le forze dell’ordine, io senza il filmato della dash cam sarei stato spacciato.

TEST E CONSIDERAZIONI:
Premetto che sono circa 6 anni che provo svariate decine di dash cam, su tutte le auto di famiglia (5 auto) ed ho avuto modo di provare aukey DR01, BC Master DC10, Aukey DR-02 singola e dual, DBPower svariati modelli e l’ultimissima Viofo A129, sia in versione normale che in versione IR ed alcune pi economiche. L’unica con cui ho avuto problemi seri (si sciolta al sole praticamente e ne avevo acquistate due, ma aukey ed amazon mi hanno rimborsato entrambe le camere ad onor del vero) la aukey DR-02, le altre sono state esperienze abbastanza positive con le BC Master decisamente ben funzionante. Questo per dire che ne ho provate di cotte e di crude e dopo circa 10 giorni sono in grado di recensire questa Vantrue S1 Dual, ottima sotto il profilo qualitativo delle immagini e costruttivo, molto solida ma anche MOLTO ingombrante nelle dimensioni.
Acquistata ad agosto 2019 ad euro 139.99, anzich 169,99 euro, usufruendo dei 30 euro di sconto che c’erano in fase di acquisto sul carrello copiando il codice sconto direttamente dalla pagina della vendita sulla sezione offerte speiciali e promozioni, al carrello.

Comincio con il dire che la dash cam non presenta in confezione gli utilissimi (a mio modo di vedere) passacavi a scatto con biadesivo 3m, utili per tenere i cavi in ordine durante l’installazione, tutti i concorrenti ne mettono 3 o 4 in confezione, anche su dash cam che costano un terzo di questa. Non c’ neanche nessun attrezzo in plastica per il passaggio dei cavi nelle guarnizioni, alcune concorrenti lo inseriscono in confezione e devo ammettere che comodo.
La dash va precaricata per 4 ore prima di installarla per far caricare il supercondensatore interno, condensatore che anche il motivo dell’ingombro di questa camera ad ogni modo. La MicroSD invece va formattata dalla camera alla prima configurazione. Prima configurazione che vede presente anche la lingua italiana e traduzioni del menu fatte alla perfezione. La Micro SD inserita sopra comoda per essere sfilata al volo quando vi serve estrarla.
Io l’ho sistemata dietro lo specchietto, ma lato passeggero, avendo il telepass lato guida ho trovato scomodi i cavi di alimentazione e quello di collegamento dalla dah anteriore a quella posteriore, davvero troppo sporgente, 3 cm oltre la sagoma della camera che mi va a sbattere sullo specchietto ed ho dovuto decentrare troppo la camera per farli entrare in sede.
Comodo ad ogni modo l’obiettivo che si snoda nella direzioni alto, basso, destra e sinistra, ma non ruota su se stesso, sarebbe stato utile per raddrizzare leggermente l’immagine con dash cam decentrata come nel mio caso, ma non possibile ruotarlo neanche pochi gradi. Valuter la durata nel tempo e se si allenter lo snodo col passare dei mesi.
Il cavo di alimentazione/dati che dovrete passare dalla camera anteriore alla posteriore lungo circa 6 metri (un enormit se lo fate passare dalle guarnizioni laterali sopra gli sportelli, giusto e leggermente abbondante se preferite far passare il cavo sotto il battitacco, nel mio caso l’ho montato su una Seat Leon 1M del 2005 dalla lunghezza di 4,18 metri per darvi un idea. Il cavo spesso e molto rigido, farlo passare bene impiegher molto del vostro tempo di montaggio, io parecchio infarinato con le dash cam ho impiegato un ora e mezza per montare tutto decentemente. Nel mio caso sono passato dalla parte superiore ed ho dovuto annegare circa 2,5 metri di cavo nelle plastiche posteriori del lunotto, non stato per nulla semplice onestamente…
Ho montato le dash cam anteriore sul vetro e posteriore sul montante in plastica, NON con il biadesivo fornito, seppur ottimo, ma con 3M dual lock nero (il biadesivo simile a quello del telepass, ma molto pi tenace esszendo quello di colore nero con potenza 4 su 4) per poter rimuovere facilmente le camere semplicemente tirando proprio come il telepass, perch so per esperienza che con il tempo le basette in plastica a scorrimento prendono un p di gioco facendo tremolare leggermente l’immagine ripresa.
– QUALITA’ IMMAGINI E FUNZIONALITA’ :
Di giorno la qualit delle immagini davvero ottima, leggere una targa con doppia camera in uso facile, persino nel mio caso, pur avendo i vetri neri posteriori con pellicole a gradazione 100% (la pi scura disponibile) la ripresa di giorno quasi perfetta (leggero sfarfallio dell’immagine ripresa ma nulla di importante), anzi non ci sono fastidiosi giochi di luce e riverberi grazie al vetro nero, di notte invece la camera posteriore nel mio caso con i vetri neri, il filmato presenta vistosi riverberi e molta rumorosit. si riesce a vedere la sagoma dell’auto ma non di pi, abbastanza deluso da questo punto di vista, ma tenete conto dei vetri oscurati che incidono parecchio. Anteriormente invece nessun problema, leggerete la targa dell’auto che vi precede, seppur a fatica, anche di notte con sufficiente dettaglio anche della zona circostante, non aspettatevi miracoli per senza un illuminatore ad infrarossi, di cui queste camere sono sprovviste
La camera anteriore a mio avviso non v oltre i 160 di angolo di ripresa a discapito dei 170 dichiarati (la ripresa non arriva a prendere entrambi i montanti bassi anteriori quindi inferiore ai 170. Posteriormente invece i 160 ci sono tutti, ottima cosa, anche in altezza risucirete ad inquadrare, ad esempio, un tir che vi sta a 2 metri di distanza, ottima cosa per vedere gli autisti in faccia (mi capitato di essere stato tamponato da un camionista pezzo di me.da che poi e fuggito, ma grazie ad un delle prime dash che montavo ho beccato le targhe e denunciato lo str.nzo, da quel momento dash cam tutta la vita).
La risoluzione FullHD ottima qualitativamente ed a livello di pesantezza immagini, vengono compresse senza perdere qualit.
L’azienda nelle istruzioni SCONSIGLIA MICROSD SANDISK a favore delle Samsung PRO Endurance, io comunque l’ho accoppiata ad una microSD da 128GB modello Sandisk High Endurance con specifiche classe 10 – U3 – V30 e A1 e v che una scheggia, credo che il fatto di sconsigliarle siano solamente giochi commerciali.
La camera prevede la funzione parcheggio che attiva la ripresa quando rileva movimento o una botta all’auto, grazie a g-sensor integrato che pu essere impostato a sua volta su 3 livelli di sensibilit, bassa, media e alta, io consiglio media per non avere continuamente filmati da pochi secondi in memoria derivanti dal minimo movimento dell’auto, anche con il vento, che si avrebbero con la sensibilit massima.
Personalmente nel menu non ho trovato la funzione di attivazione della registrazione al movimento in maniera separata dalla modalit parcheggio, ovvero quando la camera rileva un movimento fa partire la registrazione per non stare sempre continuamente in registrazione e riempire prematuramente la memoria.
Memoria che quando piena viene in automatico sovrascritta “in loop” dal filmato pi nuovo che cancella il pi vecchio. Potete decidere la durata dello spezzone del filmato tra 1, 3 o 5 minuti, avrei gradito anche 10 minuti per non avere troppi spezzoni data la memoria da 128 GB installata.
La camera nella memoria salva i filmati (tutti in una cartella), della camera anteriore mettendo una “A” alla fine del nome del filmato e della camera posteriore mettendo una “B” alla fine del nome del filmato, per capire al volo i filmati girati da una e dall’altra camera.
L’alimentatore da accendisigari molto ben fatto come materiali ma non presenta prese USB aggiuntive come altre dash, utili ad esempio se volete caricare il cellulare con lo stesso caricatore, io non le ho mai utilizzate per questo scopo comunque.
I tasti della dash cam sono retroilluminati di notte, utilissimo per trovarli al volo quando serve senza andare a tastoni, ma meno utili perch rendono la camera molto pi individuabile al buoi con auto parcheggiata, attirando magari il malintenzionato di turno. Inoltre hanno un feedback ottimo e per nulla plasticoso, ma netto e marcato, sarete sicuri di aver premuto correttamente il pulsante essendo grande e facilmente utilizzabile.
possibile decidere se registrare o meno l’audio interno dell’abitacolo nel menu principale, audio di qualit elevata rispetto ad altre dash provate e decisamente di ottimo livello.
Inoltre possibile stampare sulla foto oltre al nome della camera anche data/ora, coordinate GPS e velocit.
C’ la possibilit di inserire nel menu la targa del vostro veicolo per far si che nei tag del video la stessa venga riportata, io personalmente l’ho fatto, valuter se tenerla attiva o meno.
Graficamente il men sul display bello e moderno oltre che ben leggibile ed intuitivo durante la configurazione.
Nel display della camera da 2 avrete sia l’anteprima della ripresa della dash anteriore che di quella posteriore in un angolino in alto ed possibile switchare e mettere a tutto schermo sia la visualizzazione anteriore che quella posteriore, utile per regolare a dovere il pozionamento della camera.
Il cavo che arriva nella camera posteiore fatto a L rigido e duro e sposta l’inclinazione della camera cambiando l’inquadratura in maniera accidentale, ho risolto con due pezzi di nastro isolante nero per fissare la parte mobile della dash cam posteriore alla parte fissa e non far spostare l’immagine, una mancanza progettuale a mio avviso.
Funzione che ho TROVATO UNICAMENTE SU QUESTA DASH CAM, la possilit di spegnere, oltre che la camera anteriore tenendo premuto l’apposito pulsante laterale situato sulla stessa, anche la camera posteriore sempre con pulsante posto sulla camera stessa, che ha pure un led rosso che ne indica accensione e spegnimento. Quando la camera posteriore spenta e l’anteriore accesa potrete usufruire di tutte le risoluzioni presenti in elenco, ovvero 2160P – 1080P 60FPS – 1080P 30FPS e 720P 30FPS, pi o meno quelle presenti in dash cam di buona qualit concorrenti.
Piccola considerazione, per entrare nel menu della camera dovrete fermare la registrazione premendo il tasto con la freccia lampeggiante di rosso, peraltro comodo e visibilissimo anche di giorno per capire quando la dash cam registra correttamente. Ricordarsi di ATTIVARE L’HDR nel men della camera, di default disabilitato.

PRO:
– Ottima qualit costruttiva delle plastiche, una spanna sopra tutte quelle provate finora
– Supporta fino a 256GB di MicroSD, nessuna dash cam provata arrivava a tanto, ottimo
– Filmati diurni eccellenti con camera singola in uso a risoluzione FULLHD 60 FPS, ottimi di giorno con doppia camera in uso a 1080P 30FPS e buoni in notturna sempre a 1080P 30FPS
– Antenna GPS integrata senza dover aggiungere nessuna antenna esterna, caratteristica rara, ma non introvabile (Vedi Viofo A129 e A129 IR)
– Resistente da -20C a +70C, dopo aver sciolto la aukey un ottima informazioni, mi capitato di misurare in auto sulle plastiche ben 60C con la pistola laser
– Istruzioni chiare e dettagliate anche per i principianti
– Menu intuitivo ed in italiano
– Caratteristica pi unica che rara, oltre che molto utile, quella di poter spegnere la camera posteriore tramite un pulsante posto sulla stessa senza dover staccare lo spinotto di alimentazione dalla camera posteriore, per poter usufruire della risoluzione massima con la camera anteriore, nessuna camera posteriore della concorrenza ha questa possibilit
CONTRO:
– Camera frontale davvero grossa, ingombrante e cicciotta, difficile sistemarla a puntino dietro lo specchietto e non vederla, si poteva fare di meglio
– Cavo di collegamento tra dash anteriore e posteriore veramente rigido e molto cicciotto, sono circa 6mm di diametro
– Non c’ la possibilit di eliminare la velocit tra le i dati gps scritti nel filmato, o ci sono tutti (coordinate geografiche e velocit) o nessuno
– Risoluzione 2160P ovvero 2K solo 24FPS, la differenza se dovete catturare una targa in movimento si vede, preferibile FullHD 1080P 60 FPS
– Cavo sulla cam posteriore che essendo rigido fa ruotare in sede la camera e non vi permette di mantenere l’inquadratura impostata (ho risolto con 2 pezzi di nastro isolante applicati ai lati tra la parte fissa e quella mobile per non far ruotare la camera posteriore e mantenere l’immagine corretta)
– Non ha il wi-fi integrato per visionare filmati e foto al volo senza staccare la microSD dalla camera a questo prezzo ci doveva essere
– Confezione di vendita con mancanze in fatto di dotazione atte a semplificare il montaggio della camera (mancano passacavi e leva in plastica per scostamento guarnizioni auto)
– Montaggio lungo complice dimensione del cavo posteriore importante
– Regolazione lente camera anteriore incompleta
– Connettori di alimentazione troppo sporgenti lateralmente in caso di montaggio dash cam lato guida
CONCLUSIONI:
Innanzitutto mi scuso per il papiro, ma voglio che conosciate perfettamente la camera che andrete ad acquistare o, perch no, che non acquisterete affatto.
La sto provando da diversi giorni ed in caso di problemi aggiorner tempestivamente la recensione.
Se volete una dash camera solida e che presumo duri nel tempo vista la bont costruttiva penso che questa faccia al caso vostro, considerando anche l’ottima qualit del girato, fate solamnte attenzione ad usare una scheda endurance o almeno certificata V30 per i video.
Molti contro sono piccolezze, ma le ho volute segnalare poich per me sono aspetti da conoscere.
inutile che inserisco un filmato con il girato della camera perch amazon ne riduce infinitamente la qualit e non avrebbe senso, inserisco piuttosto un filmato del menu della camera e relative funzioni.
Spero di essere stato utile e vi ringrazio per la lettura
Grazie
Stefano
I bought another camera, not mentioning the brand, at a much cheaper price point. I had a really close call with a tractor that failed to give way, but then found out that the camera hadn’t been recording since the day after I put it in two months before, even though the power light was on. I decided to push the boat out a bit and invest into a more expensive camera instead, given the cost of not having video of an accident could be significantly higher than the cost of the camera itself.
This dash-cam does not disappoint. By far the best quality camera I’ve ever had, the rear camera is twice the resolution of the previous camera’s front camera.
Installation – Very very easy. The camera comes out of the box, you stick a bracket to the windscreen and slide the camera into it. The Micro USB port is visible on the back of the camera, and the lens sits on a swivel head, so you can adjust the angle without having to remove the camera from the windscreen. It always makes me smile when a company puts effort into the smaller details that make a product a pleasure to use. The camera is already setup with the correct date and time, which I’ve never seen before. Once it’s plugged into the cigarette lighter, and the engine is running, it turns itself on and starts recording. It writes over the oldest data if the card is full, without changing any settings, works like the right out of the box.
Quality – Very rigid design, no sign of any cheap and nasty plastics, all hard and solid feeling. No rattling. Well packaged.
Video quality – The way I normally judge the quality of the camera footage is the visibility of other drivers license plates. In the unfortunate situation of a hit and run, this is the one thing this camera really needs to perform well on. Any camera on the market will be able to show you the car, in various quality levels, driving into the back of you – but the best cameras will show the license plate in clear quality. I can very easily see number plates, in high quality, both day and night, on the front and back cameras. Not only that, the angle is impressively wide, so the video covers the whole back of the car, and small amounts of the sides at the back.
Over the moon with this camera. I genuinely feel like I can trust it, and the video will be there if it’s needed.
I’ll be back for another when my wife gets a car!
