Is it possible to display the right and left side views on the display in split screen? That would be a great option for highway driving on a road with multiple lanes to enable lane-changing easier (covering the Left and Right blind spots)? Also, any plans for a larger screen? A 5" screen is pretty small and can be difficult to see well if you have older eyes. Thanks
They not have that option yet also they didn’t make compatibility with other side cameras so you need to buy from they
I was planning on buying a viofo A139+ a800s to get a 4 channel view.
This review saved me from wasting 300~ USD (converted from me currency + tax), ordered it and now waiting for this.
Glad to hear it helped and here is my follow up video showing all the menu settings and how to use them ruclips.net/video/0c8GoBEIA4Q/видео.html Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, waiting for next Akeeyo product which may have 5 camera for front,rear, both sides and in cabin option. These innovative products are making our car driving experience better.
You're welcome S Arora! yep same here, can't wait to see what they come up with next! 😎
when parked and know the cameras act as a security system. Can i use my ipad inside my RV to see live what's going on outside with this system ?
Hi junior! nope this system does not support Wifi. But here is another alternative ruclips.net/video/DlfSYpaad_o/видео.html that does support Wifi If you want to see a live view using an APP on your iPad. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Any chance they'll (or anybody) make a duel side camera for a mirror dash? I'd even take one without a front camera at this point
Hi valiantred! Here you go ruclips.net/video/u7jhNVtxQdM/видео.html and if you want to run dual side cameras ruclips.net/video/Wb_PAPdFfZc/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Yes this is the best 4-channel stealth cams for cars. Thank you! Is there a discount from your channel? They don't sell this brand at Amazon or anything like it for cars only big bulky 4 camera kits for RV's and Trucks. I'll need to find an installer and a quote for labor to see if it's worth it. Craigslist?
You're welcome Larry! I don't have a discount code sorry man (I keep asking for one but no luck LOL), regarding install, I would recommend using a professional installer licensed and insured who will guarantee the work, that way you are more protected in case you have issues with the install. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thx for the review, i have been holding off buying dash cams, cuz i was waiting for something similar to the top view 360. Just like some OEM camera systems. And this one seems like a good substitute. 😁
You're welcome LazyQ8i! yeah this definitely is the closest will get to a top view 360° system (Which I do hope to see in the future but it's years out due to the complexity of the setup)
Honestly, the top-down 360 view is really only practical for parking and off-roading, where you only need to see what's within a couple of feet from the side of your vehicle. You really don't get a very wide field of view with it, so it wouldn't be of much use on the highway where you want to see a larger zone around your vehicle. Also, since it requires stitching 4 images together that must be focused at specific angles and distances from the vehicle in order for the software to compensate for distortion, and then produce an image that doesn't have a lot of aberration, a software that could include a large field of view, along with much higher-end camera systems would be required and much more expensive. The only drawback I see from the system in this video, is the screen size. 5" is an awfully small area to view 4 images. I would think at the very least, an 8" screen would just barely begin to do it justice, with a 10", or 12" screen being preferable.
Fact is, I'll probably purchase this system and hope that AKEEYO will offer a larger monitor sometime in the future that can simply be swapped out. Aside from the small screen, this system offers everything I'm looking for in a camera/DVR system.
I'm wondering if it can record when parked in a loop, and for how long. My concern is that if someone were to scratch my car, the motion might not be enough to trigger the motion sensor. So I want something that can record for say an hour or two. Is that possible with this camera?
Hi Dan! Ah yes this dash cam system does not support motion detection (it only supports impact detection) To capture people passing near the vicinity of the car or walking to it, here is a system that does support motion detection ruclips.net/video/vUEsIYEBVck/видео.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Yeah, the "Rydeen Tombo 360X Mirror Dash Cam 360° VIEW" looks like a great system. I watched your video and thought...Yeah, this is the one to get. But, then I realized that there was one crucial thing missing and that was "side view" capability. Love that it can look around 360 degrees, but that is from inside the cabin, and you can't see what's happening in the blind spots along the side of the vehicle. The motion detection is a great feature, and almost enough to sway me away from the AKEEYO, but, not quite enough. I can't tell you how many times I've wished I had a side-view camera when driving on the highway, or backing into a parking space, showing me a view down the side of my vehicle. Honestly, I'm not sure why auto manufacturers don't offer the option of rear/sideview cameras that can be operated on-demand. Seems the DOT should mandate that capability as they did with backup cameras in all vehicles as of 2018. I think it would prevent a lot of accidents from happening.
@@jesuslovesbass3944 Yeah explained very well my friend, that is one of the reasons I tell people I can't tell them what the best dash cam is since It really depends on what features are important you. In this case side camera, on other cases some people want the backup to SDD, and others want the real night vision option, and so on. So you definitely hit the nail in the head, the best dash cam is the one that meets your main needs and everything else (in terms of additional features) are just gravy on the top LOL Cheers!
This was a great review and seems close to what I am looking for. I have a 2 year old BMW X5 that already has built in cameras in front, mirrors, and rear for parking assist, driver lane change assist, and heads up display. However, it does not have a dashcam for while driving or for taking videos while parked. I really like the Tesla Sentry system, but no one seems to have it for other cars. I want a dashcam to record the front, rear, and especially the side doors and side panels to see who scratches my car doors and dings with shopping carts it when it is parked in shopping center parking lots.
The Blackvue and Thinkware dashcams are nice but have no side cameras like the Tesla sentry system. Is there a 4kfront 2k rear, and side camera system I could use for my car when it is parked. Also, is there a system that monitors the car battery level when it is parked so the battery doesnt run too low? The Akeeyo seems good, but no side cameras with their newer 4k/2k dashcam system nor does it have a sensor to record when someone approaches your car to scatch it or dings it in the parking lot on the side when they open their doors in the parking spaces. Is there another dashcam system that has all this? If not, is there a 4k/2k system that I could add the exterior side cameras?
Thanks Charles! Ah regarding 4K side camera systems, there are currently none on the market. There are some systems like this one amzn.to/44XHgWX that have 4K for the screen itself while the cameras are FHD. Same with 2K, now I will tell you that from FHD to 2K the difference is very small (1920x1080 in FHD and 2048x1080) so most people can't tell the difference between them. The big jump that is noticeable is 4K but as mentioned there is currently no side camera system with it. Likely we will not see one for a long time since side cameras are normally used for viewing the road first and as a dash cam second. So for the main priority of seeing the road 4K will not be beneficial since the screen that the side dash cams use are small in size where FHD will be more that sufficient (due to the size of the screen). To enjoy the benefits of 4K the screen would have to be much larger to see all the details. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Makes sense. I agree, the 4k is not needed for the side cameras and 1080 would be fine for side cameras. I was wondering if the 4kfront and 2k rear systems that are useful for identifying license plates also happen to come with side 1080 resolution exterior cameras. And also whether any systems with side cameras have the buffered video with motion detection on the sides of the car while parked. Thinkware and Blackvue are nice dashcams with motion detection but they have no side camera systems.
@@charlesg6583 Hi Charles! Ah yeah there are currently no 4 channel systems with 4K or 2K (front, rear, 2 side cameras) this is likely due to the amount of processing power required for 4 channels with 2 of them being 4K or 2K and bandwidth limitations (this is also why rear cameras are limited to FHD, current dash cams use AHD 2.0 for the rear camera signal and that standard does not support 4K or 2K, not long ago the same company that developed AHD announced that they have began working on AHD 3.0 which will support higher resolutions (however considering 2.0 took years to be released, it will be a while for us to see 3.0), so once that standard comes out, we will eventually see dash cam manufacturers began to use at some point in the future. Regarding buffered parking mode with side cameras nope there are none, buffered parking is somewhat of a rare option on dash cams but it is a really good feature to have, here are 2 systems that support it ruclips.net/video/lwoSbiwjSik/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/SD5AEbR0fLI/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Great work mate. I plan on ordering this for my Jeep. A few questions if you could help - Can I mount the front camera to the exterior of the car (near the number plate?). What are your thoughts on the durability of this product? Does it come with any kind of international warranty (I doubt though)?
Thanks Raghav! Ah regarding the front camera, not it cannot be mounted on the outside since it's not waterproof. Here is waterproof camera that may interest you ruclips.net/video/Ht9Q-0HlKMY/видео.html Regarding warranty Akeeyo says they include a 1 year warranty and while I have not had any issues with my Akeeyo systems, you are right warranty may be different if there is a need to return the system since shipping costs maybe higher than shipping something domestically. And here is my follow video showing all the menu features of the this system ruclips.net/video/0c8GoBEIA4Q/видео.html Cheers!
Thanks Alex. Yeah the auto vox camera looks like a nice solution.
Do you know of any wifi camera that has some kind of android auto app which could be used on my android auto infotainment directly, thus taking away the need for an extra display?
You're welcome! Ah yes the closest I seen to that is this one ruclips.net/video/DlfSYpaad_o/видео.html Cheers!@@raghavgulati1119
I have watched your videos about WOLFBOX 880 too. Thank you. I want it like my tesla I used to have. I want the mirror like this? The three channel is available but I just want rear and side cameras on a after market radio or mirror not a extra display. I really want the turn signal feature but will settle for mirror. Not sure if Amazon aftermarket cameras will work with the WOLFBOX. Thanks
Hi! Ah yes in mirror style here is how I done ruclips.net/video/Wb_PAPdFfZc/видео.html and here is another alternative in HUD style ruclips.net/video/b2JXMQyU-24/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you for the videos when I go to the HUD website, it says pre-order I’m not even able to purchase the brand. Is that two separate items? The two side cameras in the back up camera is not the same brand as the HUD heads up display?
@m.webster8226 Correct, Hudway has a long line to be able to get one. So only go for it if don't mind the wait. And yes the side cameras and rear radar is a separate add on also sold by Hudway, here is the full review for it ruclips.net/video/z-m_ez2a8o4/видео.html Cheers!
Hey you actually got it, that's kool. You know what they say, great minds think alike even though I actually got the camera for RV's only because the screen is actually wider allowing me to use it as my review mirror. It's an amazing feeling knowing that you have all sides covered on your vehicle & knowing you can't lose an insurance claim ever!! Unless of course you're the one actually at fault lol. Nice job bud.
Thanks Dominic! yeah the more coverage the better!
do they have a cord for rear view camera long enough for 40ft RV?
@@JrEss408 If I remember correctly the longest cord was about 63ft or so.
pre configured best camera system for car
As of 5/14/2023 - I have a 4ch but for right now I'm doing a 3ch - back - and both sides for now.
All cameras are hidden, just a normal looking car driving by.
Nice!
Can we put the front camera outside? the front of the car?
Hi E! Nope, it cannot be mounted on the outside since it's not waterproof. Cheers!
That would be perfect for my brother in law and the Honda Oddyssey van as it did not come equipped with any backup camera
Hi Jahalang82! yeah it definitely helps specially on larger vehicles like the Odyssey where there are more blind zones. Cheers!
Thank you for your helpful videos. Can these mirror dash cams be helpful with parking to the front/side view? It can be difficult judging distance to objects in our Honda minivan. Can these provide a view “down and to the side?”
You're welcome ScottBird1999! yes the additional views this system provides makes parking tremendously easier. You can see how much additional view coverage they add during the test drive portion of the video at the 14:30 mark. You can also further adjust the view by placing the rear camera in a different location. The side cameras can also be be lower or higher on the car and placed with a different angle (since they adhere to the side of the car with the VHB 3M Tape) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Looks great but I'm just worried about somebody breaking into the car and stealing the screen? Then the footage will be gone. Maybe the screen could be fitted somewhere hidden away in the car?
Hi Derelict Detective! Correct, the installer can potentially hide the main unit somewhere in the car. And what I usually recommend (if budgets allows) is to run dual dash cams, so I would pair this dash cam with this stealth dash cam ruclips.net/video/TvKRKYA7cgQ/видео.html which ensures both redundancy in the case one fails and also in case one gets stolen. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Nice review. Some pieces of info .. Front/Rear camera.. 1920x1080p/2MP/25FPS...side cameras-1080p.
No indication of whether you can change resolutions and fps. Didn't see any information on their parking mode, if all 4 cameras record, buffered parking/motion/event detection and other parking mode options.
It has some nice options e.g. those adjustable parking lines. I wonder when you're in reverse and the parking lines come up... Does it affect the rear camera dash cam recording?
Projected retail price of the 4 cameras is $568... That's pretty steep considering the lack of information .. yeah that might get fleshed out after the kick starter is over.
Something else to consider.. You can get Viofo A139 ( 3 channel ) -$270 and a Viofo A129 (2 channels) -$170 .. So 5 cameras for $410, or $350 when Viofo offers their sales. The question is if the extra features ( big screen, turn signal video focus, reverse camera with adjustable lines) worth the extra $150-$200.. Assuming they work out the kinks and add proper parking mode functionality.
Hi mpcp27! correct, all four cameras record in HD (1080), the resolution or frame rate is not adjustable however here is one that does have adjustable resolution & frame rate ruclips.net/video/ct4AUXNGvQk/видео.html Regarding parking lines, they don't affect recording on dash cams remember they are just an overlay that comes up on top of the video being recorded :) For pricing, I think you may be converting Yen or something is off, the kit with dual cameras is only $299 however if you only need 1 side camera you can get if for $269 here is the link again if needed www.akeeyo.com/products/4-channels-surround-view-dash-cam-monitoring-without-blind-spot-driving-recorder?sca_ref=2139840.S7pimDXRfb I do think is easy to put together a 4 channel system by buying 2 separate dash cams, the challenge is getting dual side cameras, running 2 separate dash cams won't have this option. Hope this helps and cheers bud!
@@AlexAutoFun not it was usd not yen but i know what the problem is .. That's for 2 systems... You are correct.. It's $269. Apologies.. Then $ 269 is a very good price. Looking forward to seeing what their parking mode had to offer
@@mpcp27 LOL it happens bud! I was like omg $500 buckaroos that's a lot! 😮I had to double check that to be sure. Yeah I have a video coming on the hardwire kit but it's standard park mode, noting fancy like buffered parking monitor, for that I recommend this one ruclips.net/video/SD5AEbR0fLI/видео.html Cheers man!
That's pretty impressive.
Hi alex! Any chance if you know if this is available in a rear mirror version??
Hi Salvador! Nope, the closest one in mirror style is this one ruclips.net/video/u7jhNVtxQdM/видео.html And I have another review coming for a system that is very close to what you are looking for, stay tuned. Cheers!
Very nice review. It makes me wanna get this dashcam. Just curious, where did you tap the left and right turn signal? thanks.
Thanks Ian! ah yes regarding tapping the turn signals, I did it on the harness that goes to each turn signal (it technically can be done anywhere along the cable for the signals such as the inside of the car but I found it easier to reach the wires under the hood of mine) Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Which side camera is better and easier to install (the silver or the black)? Akeeyo Global Store is selling it thru Ali Express for $163 (45% cheaper).
@@iansebastian4535 Hi Ian! both are the same imo since they both requiring running the cable and they both are applied with double sided tape. I think it comes down to which one you like best. Just be careful buying from global store, I seen cases where vendors that sell like that do not include support or warranty or the product is not the one meant for USA so it may be configured for another location (mine was a model meant for the the Japanese market and I had to hop thru hops to get it to work here in USA). Hope this helps, Cheers!
What about passive activation that would record any activity whilst parked up.
Hi Steve! Yes, as explained on the video park monitoring can enabled with the included hardwire kit. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks will take another look at the video.
@@stevedavis2541 You're welcome Steve and here is my follow video for this system ruclips.net/video/0c8GoBEIA4Q/видео.html where I cover it's full menu options. Cheers!
Dude I can't decide which to get. U make all these videos so good. Lol was gonna get 3 channel one.. but know might get this. Lol
Thanks DasShape! LOL yeah this system takes dash cams to a whole new level, and price is not bad either..
I've been enjoying your work for a while now
hopefully this is the product I've been looking for
you gave it justice with your review excellent work
Would love to know what size the screen
sincerely jay from England
Thank you Junior! ah yes the screen size 5.5" not too large not too small. Cheers from California!
Can you tell us mode is this got parking mode and 24/7 surveillance and recording? If yes, how long is the battery life? Any hardwire options?
Hi Blashazo! Correct, you can enable park monitor (monitoring your car while it's off) using their hardwire kit. Here is the video for how that is connected ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Cheers!
Great Video. Excellent Camera.
Thank you Digital!
Hi,love the videos I am not going to do any wiring is it goona help with blind spot
Hi Nafis! thank you! ah yes regarding blond spots, yes this system definitely helps with that. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I cant find it when i click the link. Id love the ones that goes on side of car.
Also your stash caught me off guard aha
LoL! Just checked the links, both are working. I placed two links, one to Amazon and one to get it direct from Akeeyo in the case Amazon does not carry it in your area. Cheers!
If you want i guess you don't have to use the front camera or GPS. I'm only after a constant passenger side blind spot view and also rear view
Hi @michaelheath3725! Yes some installers will leave a camera disconnected if requested by the customer (so only the connected cameras records) Same with the GPS some people choose not to have it installed if they prefer additional privacy. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thanks. Looking at some of your other vids, the Akeeyo 360 probably best for me actually as it has that long rear view image split with smaller side view. Been searching but most seem to offer front and rear only. Thanks again
@@michaelakrawi1114 You're welcome!
It’s the same me :). Tablet was linked to one email, phone another. So not some random joining in :)
Can you please make a video when this camera when we could buy the camera
Hi Giovanni! ah yes It shouldn't take long, the 360° one came out just in time and same with the 720° (both started on Kickstarter) and this one is looking the same as far as progress, they seem to be right on track. But yeah I can let you know when it gets past the pre-order stage bud!
Nice review, just a quick question for you, possible to have both side signals assist? Since my car already has a backup cam and don’t need another parking assist, can I use that channel as the other side signal assist?
Hi Sams97! unfortunately only one side camera input supports a trigger wire. That being said, the rear camera input as you mentioned supports a trigger wire. Technically it may be possible to connect the second side camera to the rear camera input (while I had other viewers mentioned they have connected different cameras to it, I have not confirmed which ones would work or any long terms effects of running a different camera) I would recommend to contact Akeeyo and inquiry about putting a different camera just to make sure you are not going to damage your system or void your warranty. Here is also good alternative that does supports triggers for both turn signals ruclips.net/video/b2JXMQyU-24/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thanks for your reply and your recommendation!
@@Sams97 You're welcome!
Can I get 2 side cameras that look the same?
Hi! Yes you can customize your system when ordering, remember I placed the link to it in the video description. Cheers!
Hii new to dash cam scene, was wondering if this is a good pair for like somebody like me who’s never used one, I really want one that can pick up plates or anything like that in case of a collision. Thank you !
Hi Light! This would be a good choice if you want dual side cameras, if you don't need side cameras and want a mirror style here is another good one ruclips.net/video/7UbJk32_k5Y/видео.html and if you want a more traditional dashcam that can be mostly tucked high in the windshield ruclips.net/video/lwoSbiwjSik/видео.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi. i finally received my Akeeyo AKY-Z3GT. I chose the silver camera for the 2-side cameras for easier placement. however, both silver side cameras have the "AV" connector but the dashcam unit only has one AV input. Looking at 7:25 of your video, the silver side camera doesn't have the AV connector. The main reason I got this camera is for the side cameras. I already have a 2-channel rearview mirror dashcam I am not planning to remove as I use it as my rearview mirror. My excitement now turns into frustration.
Hi Ian! Oh wow that is very strange, both the black and silver cameras should have the circular connector you saw at the 7:25 mark, if you take a look at your manual (I think page 15 if I remember correctly) you can see one side camera connects with the circular connector directly to the main harness from the monitor and the second side camera is connected to an adapter (they included) that takes the circular connector and turns it into AV so it can connect to the back of the monitor. I would recommend you contact Akeeyo to see if you received the incorrect cameras or if they have revised something. Please let us know what you find. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun i contacted Akeeyo directly and here's what they said. "The place indicated by the arrow can be disconnected,
Please rotate hard and pull it out, please be sure to pinch both ends, (do not pinch the cable, otherwise it is easy to damage the cable)". Did you have to pull it on the unit you got? I was wondering why don't the manufacturer ship that part already pulled out? They should know that the customer will connect all 4-cameras upon receipt. Why have the customer pull it out and risk damaging one of the cameras?
@@iansebastian4535 Hi Ian! Ah that is a good question, normally I see manufacturers who send their cables pre-attached to other cables (such as the cameras, power cables or GPS cables) and sometimes there are not. Seems to really be all over the place whether cables will come separated or if I have to separate them (I usually don't separate them unless the installation process requires me to, such as when routing the cable thru small spaces) So to answer your question since it's common for me to be connecting and disconnecting cables, I don't recall if I had to disconnect any cables from the adapters or the other way around. If I had to guess why a cable is shipped mated to another cable (such a rear camera and rear camera extension or in this case side camera and AV conversion plug) maybe due to the supplier of the cable shipping the mated cable to the dash cam manufacturer. To avoid cost (by reducing the labor of having to unplug a cable before shipping and repackaging) they probably just place the component in the main box as received from the supplier and since this can very from supplier to supplier this leads to what I see, cables coming in mated or mated across the industry LOL But that is just my guess from my years in the Manufacturing industry. Hope this helps, Cheers!
You needed to show the unit size and mounting inside the car as we can only guess the mounting,size and lighting it gives off during day/night usage. Otherwise, a good video. Thank you.
Hi D B! I went to the vehicle and took measurements of the unit for you, here you go: The main unit is 5.75" wide by 3.75" tall, adding the stand adds another 1" for a total height of 4.75" As far as mounting you can see the mount and how it works at the 1:30 mark. However there is a standard 1/4" screw hole on the bottom of the display if you do not want to use the stand and prefer to use a standard camera mount. As far as how much lights it gives off during driving this is going to depend on what brightness level you choose to run the display (I run mine at maximum brightness like my mirror dash cams however I know some people do find the display brightness distracting at full blast and run it at a lower brightness) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Alex! Love your videos. Keep up the excellent work in making me spend more and more on car gadgets :). And now I have to get this one as well!
Would you be able to help me with the dimension specs of the monitor? I checked the website for specifications, and it only mentions a screen size of 5.5 inches. L x B X H will help me determine where this fits the best.
Thanks Arjit! Here you go: 5.75" wide by 3.75" tall, adding the stand adds another 1" for a total height of 4.75" Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Hey, Thanks for sharing the details. I just need one more help. I am committed to making Honda a Tesla for monitoring parity and plan to get AKY-V720S and AKY-Z3GT. I will get hardwire kit for both of these. In some hardwire kits, we can replace the fuse with the kit and then put the fuse next to it. Is the kit Akeeyo provides stackable, i.e., can two kits be combined at the fuse connector or by soldering the wires so that both can power from the same fuse selections? The reason for this is that only limited fuse slots can be used for this.
@@ArjitDhavale You're welcome Arjit! Correct, the hardwire kit shown on the video will need to have fuse taps installed if the installer wants to tap the fuse box directly, here is my video on how those are installed ruclips.net/video/Qzw9yUYN7zo/видео.html Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun You are the best! Thanks for helping me out.
You're welcome!
How is this installed on the top mirror seems big in size? ?
Hi Edwin! this is not mirror dash cam, it is mounted with the included mount or with a standard 1/4" mount. However here is a great alternative that is mirror mounted ruclips.net/video/o8begcmPA2wm/видео.html Hope this helps, cheers!
This is a perfect setup in a variety of ways but feel like akeeyo dropped the ball with the exterior side cameras, should’ve ran the cable differently makes it hard to hide the wires even if you drill into the fenders
Hi Bryan! The silver side camera has the cable coming out the side as shown on the video only for those who are looking to avoid drilling a hole into the fender. If you are looking to drill a hole to conceal the cable completely, the cable actually comes out more towards the middle of the back of the side camera (under the double side tape adhesive). Here is my follow video where you can see the cable exit underneath the camera around the 3:50 mark ruclips.net/video/Wb_PAPdFfZc/видео.html And while I seen installs where a hole was drilled to fully conceal the cable, I had my car next to that setup and people couldn't tell there was a difference unless I pointed it out (since my cable immediately bends into the inside panels of the car as shown on the video, so I like to stick to the non-drill method but drilling is definitely another way to do it. And here is another side camera system that may interest you ruclips.net/video/b2JXMQyU-24/видео.html Cheers!
what about a camera you can use when your car is turned off.
Hi its me !! This dash cam supports a hardwire kit (to enable it to record incident when the car is parked and turned off) And I have more dash cam reviews (with parking monitoring support) on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Where can I get the hardwire kit?
@@elainelabrooy3438 Hi Elanie! I put the link to the system (the hardwire kit is included with the kit) in the video description. Hope this helps, Cheers!
MRP Kiya Hai Ji
Hi, I have a question about parking mode on this camera. Does the parking mode also give you both side views of thr car?
Hi alwaysrerei! correct, this dash cam records all 4 cameras (front, rear and 2 sides) while in parking mode. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun wow that is awesome. Thank you so much for the quick response!
@@alwaysrerei You're welcome!
Which computer software did you use to access the video footages?
Hi Elaine! The media player software that is included with some computers can playback the videos, or you can also use the Akeeyo dedicated player which also shows the GPS information (moving map) along with the video or you can use one of the several media players that are available in the internet to playback the video (such VLC) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I'm not sure why my Akeeyo LCD screen overheats easily.
Hi Elanie! That is strange, the system is rated at a maximum temperature of 160°F assuming you are not close to that, it should be good. If you are still having overheating issues I would also recommend contacting Akeeyo for support, they may just be able to walk your thru some trouble shooting steps. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Oh snap was not expexting that stash
LOL!
Hey I am Trying to get 1 of these, but I'm Not seeing it on Amazon.
Hi Kevin! Correct, Currently Akeeyo does not sell on Amazon. I placed the link to the system in the video description. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Oh OK Understood.
Thank you much for the update and information, and the Quick Response 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@kevinthorne9892 You're welcome!
Does it have parking surveillance mode and low battery shut-off function to prevent killing your battery ❔
Hi THE PRESLEYS! Correct as long as the hardwire kit is used. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun
Great, thanks for your help 👍
Your channel is the best I've seen for dash camera reviews.

Thanks THE PRESLEYS and welcome to the channel!
Question:
Alex, is there a high resolution 4 channel mirror dash camera with tiny stealthy cameras like this model that records all 4 channels simultaneously in parking mode as well - I can't use the 360 systems as I can not take interior shots of the vehicle - just exterior video (front, rear, left and right sides.)
@@Elvis_Pond5 Hi Elvis! Ah yes a 4 channel mirror dash cam is very rare but here is one that does supports 4 cameras amzn.to/43ugWm2 Hope this helps, Cheers!
Very nice review
Thanks Edwin!
They only record while the car is on? Someone in my parking complex keeps hitting my car doors I already have two dents and want something that can record while the car is off.
Hi B! Yes it can, as explained on the video park monitoring can enabled with the included hardwire kit. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun oh thank you I just subscribe to your channel

Hi . I got doubt 🧐 I just got this dash cam so haven’t able to change the micro as card it says as no inserted I’ve tried to different brands and speeds but it works with the factory settings as card , why ? Anybody somebody with same issue please
Hi Pete! Some dash cam are very sensitive to low performing cards (and sometimes even the brand) Here is the card I use amzn.to/45HublL I would also recommend contacting Akeeyo for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps if your are still having issues. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun hi thanks for replying about this issue my friend I did contact akeeyo so I went to their store and no available as cards anymore
@@AlexAutoFun I’ll order that sd card to check this out in future
@@peteschmitz1587 You're welcome Pete! I just checked their store and still shows memory cards available (I placed the link in the video description). The memory card (if you want to get it from Akeeyo) can be ordered at the time the dash cam system is ordered or as separate accessory. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I did order the micro sd card u said but also says card not inserted and on the website akeeyo out of stock
Dose it record 24 hours when it parked? Someone hit my side when I’m in class for school
Hi Hoang! yes it does support parked monitoring, if connected with the optional hardwire kit. Here how the hardwire kit installation looks like ruclips.net/video/K2iKXj82354/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thank you. Just ordered. it’s time to catch those sucka that hit my car
@@hoanganhhuynhthanh4254 You're welcome! I hope you get them, it really upsets to see some people don't respect other property ugh. Cheers Bud!
Can this show the cabin too? Does it have a night vision?
Hi Edwin! the front camera can be installed pointed to the inside of the car if you want to show the cabin instead. Regarding night vision, nope this does not have it, however here is a great alternative that does have real night vision (I.R.) ruclips.net/video/JJKbUu_egiE/видео.html Hope this helps, cheers!
It says on the website (as the time of this writing) that all 4 cameras has night vision.
I just bought this, and waiting for it to arrive.
@@itsMizaa Hi Ice.Pianist! ! yeah I noticed that many dash cams love to throw the night vision term around (meaning they can record video at night, which technically all cameras can to a certain extent) Some dash cam do offer true night vision (Infrared Lighting) in the cabin camera like the G880 dash cam I linked earlier. Now technically most people won't need I.R. night vision it's normally only desired by people wanting to capture images in complete darkness. Congrats on your new dash cam system by the way! the AKY-Z3GT is definitely a cool system to upgrade to, just a tremendous amount of coverage from pretty much every side. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks! been waiting for this one since I saw your video about their 3 cameras.
very much needed it since I live in NYC 😅
Does it record 24 hours even when it's parked at night? Someone tried to break in my car just yesterday 😕 hoping to catch whoever it is when this system arrives
What is cost in India and how can purchase in India sir
Hi Shashi! The price changes often, depending if it's on sale or they have a coupon going. I put a link to it on the video description, if you like to check it. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun have u any coupon. Bcoz its costly in india
@@shashi60 Hi Shasi! Nope unfortunately Akeeyo typically does not issue coupons. Cheers from California!
I hope the next future of car cams would be plug in play
Hi Maxmil! yeah that would be pretty awesome, like Tesla how they come like that from factory..
@@AlexAutoFun What about the Night vision on this thing is it Clear thank bro love your videos more power : )
@@maxmilbredes897 Thank you Maxmil! ah yes regarding night vision, this dash cam does not have that feature (this feature is somewhat rare on dash cams) but here is one that does ruclips.net/video/JJKbUu_egiE/видео.html in mirror style and one that has it on stick style ruclips.net/video/I2M0RgzI0S8/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun is the black cam also water proof and if i direct it to the fuse box will it drain the battery.
@@maxmilbredes897 Hi Maxmil Bredes! I'm assuming you are referring to the black side camera? if so, yes it is waterproof. Regarding connecting it to the fuse box, the Akeeyo hardwire kit for this system has low voltage protection to avoid draining the battery (video on the hardwire kit coming, stay tuned) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I really think that they need to make the cigarette lighter adapter with usb outputs for phone charging and any other options
Hi ban annah! yeah I really like when they add USB ports to a cigarette lighter plug, that way I can still charge my phone and not have have to run a cigarette lighter port splitter or hardwire the dash cam. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun exactlyyyy right? Lovin your vids!
Thank you ban!
@@AlexAutoFun say, can you see on the screen only the 2 side cameras on split screen? Like without the back camera above
@@bigkaki000 Hi Ban! nope, remember the aspect ratio of the side cameras, having both of them on the screen by themselves would probably not gain you much (the view would be the same as the one with the 2 side cameras split screen except without the rear camera above, the side cameras would just be in the middle of the screen with large black lines on top and bottom) While I think it maybe be interesting to force both side cameras to fill the screen, it will distort the image quite a bit as they would have to be stretched up and compressed on their sides. Or the view for each would have to be cropped to fit the profile of both of them fitting on the screen but in either case I don't think it would be look good or be very usable, but who knows, maybe we will see a firmware update in the future adding one of those views! LOL Hope this helps, Cheers!
Akeeyo forgot sumthin. It should be 5cameras. Side cameras, front, inside and rear.
Hi Francis! ah remember this system support four channels (four cameras): two sides, rear and one front. The front channel is the camera that can be placed facing any direction (front if you want to be a front camera, or cabin if you want it to be a cabin camera or another position you can think of) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Very nice 👌 💕💕🙏🙏U.K.
It would be nice only if it was full english.
