Thanks DCR. I ended up purchasing one for $26.00 bucks off eBay in Chino California. I drive over 100 miles a day and I see some really messed up stuff out there from 100 mph plus racing to out right crashes.I also had to look around to find out what card to use in it. Turns out it uses a Ultra Micro SD HC Class 10 TF Flash Memory Card. You can pick up a quality 32GB card, the maximum the camera can use, for around $4 to $8 bucks. That would be nice for us newbies to know. My recommendation is to put that in the Description for us Newbies. I would like to have had you know more about the settings but overall I did like the review and gave you a THUMBS UP! Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. Best Wishes n Blessings.

Thanks a lot for the great review as l accidentally put the settings into Asian settings and you help me out with your great review and i put the settings back to English.
Hi I have had one of these DashCamReview - i1000 Dual Lens for 7 years. I need to reset the date which is via the menu button. The instruction state 'press the menu button twice under standby mode’. How do I action 'Standby Mode'? Thanks Steve
Thanks for the comparison. I just order one of the ebay specials since it was 30 something bucks. I won't bother paying any more since I had problems with another small one I bought before so I know the video isn't the greatest on these things. So I didn't want to bother getting another because I just couldn't find something that at least worked okay. Last week someone bumped me when I got off the freeway so I figure it was time to get something else. So I'll be giving one of these a try and see if it's any better. I have another camera that uses the .mov and I hate those large files myself, but do look okay from what I remember. It's that apple movie time software. It will be nice when they make both the front and rear camera good on something this small. It's just moving slower than I thought it would. By the way I noticed some look lighter than others. Are both cameras the same colors? The other difference I noticed aside from now the file type is the rear camera. One seems like the simple metal bracket and the other seems to be larger but plastic looking bracket. Is this correct or are they both metal?
+myshots101 Good choice!! You can convert mp4 to mov only by changing the file extension for video editing usage. About the look.... It depends on your seller but I think they all comes in plastic!! The main camera sometimes comes with metalized colors but the most important is to see the spects before purchase. There are a lot models using the same housing. Always prefer .mp4 or .mov recorded files with H264 codec. Class 10 SD cards!!
I recommend giving the battery a full charge and then drain at least a few time before going on constant on/off power from the car. This should help with battery life.
I bought two of these, both cameras show the video and record "backwards" as if recording off a mirror. Any suggestions. Plus neither one of mine came with remotes
My problem with this device is secondary camera is showing but not recording. When I open the folder for the second camera in my computer is there are no files in it. please help me solve this problem. Version XD310-160709-V2.9 Reply
I got one of these a little while back i1000s pretty much the same only recently got around to installing it but I am having an issue where it freezes up after about 30 seconds and only gives me 2 second videos both front and back, not sure what the issue is
Yeh I've just received mine.... bought from eBay "company in Nottingham" Anyway up to now, only issue I've encountered is it's not charging up & the 4 leds don't power up at all, then another odd happening there doesn't seem to be the continuous video option it's 1-5min or continuous 'but in 5minute segments only' other then that Yeh am happy..... I'll be happier if I receive a fully as it should operate camera but I'm awaiting a reply from the eBay seller 1 question tho... what's the flash bulb type thing on the top right??????
Good review! Do you think the rear camera is good enough for when reversing? Does it show the distance of the objects behind accurately or a bit closer or further away than they really are? Thanks!
I would not uese this for a backup camera. You would have to go into the menu to set it up, then go back in when driving forward. the monitor is also very small.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement rear camera mine with this type of lead connection, never worked correctly from date of purchase. Badly let down by the supplier in China. Nice simple video explanation. Thank you.
+David Longworth Are you sure about the wire?? sometimes it is damaged in the installation because it is delicate!!. My 2012 seller could sell you a separate unit.

I have one of these cameras and for the money am impressed...HOWEVER...I've had it for 2 months and now it has a fault. It turns off and on continuously, will NOT STAY on. Have watched another video on here claiming it's something to do with the battery, but was not exactly a tutorial on how to solve the issue, if you're not an electrician...Can anyone else shed some light on how to solve this on/off fault?
It may be due to the memory card. I had the same issue before with a dvr, in the beginning it worked fine then after a few weeks it would not stay on. Replace the memory card (different brand), see if that works.
HI guys, I just had a crash and can't access the film and I do need to get to it as the other driver did a runner and need it to identify them and the car. When I dump it on the laptop (avi format) it keeps saying codec might be wrong! also when I play the file its a lot of squeaky noises and no images. Please help as my car is in a bad way, and I want to get this person bad.heres a screen shot of error message...
hi i have the same cam, however i have struggled to view the files from the cam on my computer, it keeps saying it cant load it due to some format or file type, i just wondered if you mighta figured it out cause im confused D;
1.What editing software are you using? 2.What file type are you getting from the camera? Hover your mouse pointer over the file and a small window will pop up showing you the file type; ie - .avi .mov etc
HI.. i would like to know if this car dash have an option that it will start the recording when engine start and it will stop rec when switching the engine off. Or do i have to switch the camera on by pressing record button every time? And does it delete old clips automatically when the SD gets full ? Thanks For the video tutorial
Yes you can use the auto-record function to set it to turn on and off with the car's ignition. When the SD card is full it will either stop recording or in continuous mode it will "loop" and begin to record over the earliest files.
don't forget cars with permanent power on the utility socket or cig lighter these will continuously record if left plugged in "even if the ignition is off" you also have an option for recording when motion is detected
+Mal Peacock Hi Mal. I wouldn't recommend to implement this feature for long parking periods!!. This will shorten the camera's life. This is not a dedicated device for "survillance". It's just my opinion!! :-)..
Juliso35 Yeh I know, I was only mentioning the shock function mainly as a annoying function rather then being handy as its overall too sensitive even on a low setting...
no, it records in 2 separate files for both cameras, if you wanted a duel screen recording to show ppl you'll need to use a good editing package to allow the 2nd recording to be added to the main shot (easily done)
Hi after watching this video i am thinking of buying one of these cameras what size sd card does this camera use and how long is the video that is recorded on it.
yeh my memory cards not the issue only a dodgy internal battery. when i had the camera "now returned for a functioning one" i tested its ability to record & its done both front & rear views nicely... only the impact sensory i'd to switch off as it was triggered by heavy breathing let alone anything else so I found about 15 short clips just from carrying the camera in my pocket. anyway now im just awaiting the replacement to turn up for me to install the cameras, as the simple state of ppl's driving is getting me more worried, topped by the constant lying.. well "lie about this uknow!!"
i have this camara the rear camara is horrible quality especially at night i bought a rexing both camara are high quality on that camara now i have the i1000 as a spare in case something happens to the rexing dash cam by the way auto detect is motion detection on the i1000
Doesn't look like a "DUAL" camera?? Lol I'm ok happy w/ my AGPtek dual Dvr..love it besides the audio is horrible & now the gps map shows i'm in Japan?
The i1000 isn't a "taxi style" camera. The 2nd camera attaches to the rear window and connects to the main camera body with a 13 ft cable. I probably didn't explain that very well in the video - my bad.
DashCam Review Knaw, i was just looking at other dual cameras after i saw your AGPtek review. Thx for the reviews..... just wish my camera had some audio?? Lol
This is a bad and dysfunctional camera, it has a bad battery and a bad charging circuit; see 'x6 i1000 f70 dvr dash cam power off fix'. It stops functioning after a few minutes, and shuts off, recording nothing!

Thanks for your best wishes. I'm surprised this camera is still being sold today. I appreciate your suggestions.
I bought one of these and your vid helped me set it up right, thanks! It was quite cheap and it does the job so no complaints.
+daveartandmusic Glad to help.
I have this camera since 2012. No problems so far. Just remember reformat your class 10 card with some regularity
Thanks a lot for the great review as l accidentally put the settings into Asian settings and you help me out with your great review and i put the settings back to English.
+Johnny Frehley Glad to help!
Got mine today and it DOES record in VGA, 720p and 1080p.

Hi. Thanks for this great video. I bought a car with this Dashcam. Just wondering if you have a link to the user manual. Thanks mate.

1 question tho... what's the flash bulb type thing on the top right??????
Hi, do I need to buy a class 4 or a class 10 micro sd? What did you use? Will a class 4 work? Thanks

DashCam Review thanks!

vincenzo borrelli Yes, the second camera can be displayed on the LCD. The options for the camera are front only, rear only or split screen.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement rear camera mine with this type of lead connection, never worked correctly from date of purchase. Badly let down by the supplier in China. Nice simple video explanation. Thank you.

1.What editing software are you using?
2.What file type are you getting from the camera? Hover your mouse pointer over the file and a small window will pop up showing you the file type; ie - .avi .mov etc
You need to first format the SD Card. Go into the camera settings to do this while the SD Card is in it.

Hi, can you record the 2 cams on the same screen ?
no, it records in 2 separate files for both cameras, if you wanted a duel screen recording to show ppl you'll need to use a good editing package to allow the 2nd recording to be added to the main shot (easily done)
Hi after watching this video i am thinking of buying one of these cameras what size sd card does this camera use and how long is the video that is recorded on it.
David Stanley 32 gb max. The recording length depends on the video resolution that you select. Higher resolutions use more space.
it uses a micro sd, you can go upto 32gb they just slid on and then clip lock into place
+Mal Peacock Remember.. Only class 10 cards for dual recording!!
yeh my memory cards not the issue only a dodgy internal battery. when i had the camera "now returned for a functioning one" i tested its ability to record & its done both front & rear views nicely... only the impact sensory i'd to switch off as it was triggered by heavy breathing let alone anything else so I found about 15 short clips just from carrying the camera in my pocket.

One thing you can try is to drill out the mic hole. Just don't go DEEP!!
RT=recording time
Watermark is time and date
This is a bad and dysfunctional camera, it has a bad battery and a bad charging circuit; see 'x6 i1000 f70 dvr dash cam power off fix'. It stops functioning after a few minutes, and shuts off, recording nothing!
