Wait what happened to the rear camera, how did y’all install that? And how did the hardwiring go? I’m gonna grab this for Prime Day and super excited!!!!
As the video memory continuously loops, how do I trigger a ''save clip''? Say you witness accident, is it voice command or button press? Long video, provide a time stamp please if it's covered. Thx!
Great video. Just got mine today for my F250 Super Duty. Saw your video and immediately bought. Within 3 days of purchasing truck, someone at Lowes hit the back tailgate and reverse camera. I immediately got on researching best options and found your video. 3 days later I'm about to install thanks to your information! Definitely a polarized lens a must!
By the way, this camera has a park mode so it definitely has the capability for 24 hour surveillance and recording. However, you have to use the hardwire kit with it. Fortunately my F250 has the Aux switches and easy to locate to add the necessary wiring.
I just wanted to comment on your production value/quality on this. First video of yours I’ve ever watched but with the switching between the dash cam, camera, phone footage, audio, etc… looks like it was very involved process to edit this and it’s fantastic! Thanks for that, Oh and the video was great too in general :)
My first purchase for my new truck was a dash cam, this one looks awesome 😎. Small bit of advice if you have a crash that’s your fault “It Happens” get rid of the footage 😂
Funny, I have a friend that was in a road rage accident. The guy had a dash camera and police asked for the footage, but he claimed the camera wasn't working(likely deleted the footage because he's dishonest). Funny enough someone else caught the incident on their camera and the guy is now sitting in jail for reckless driving and assault. Dumb ass didn't think someone else would have a camera too. 😂
I bought the F7NP and unfortunately discovered that it only really works with the associated power supply. If you drive an electric vehicle, there is no cigarette lighter, only USB-C charging points. If you connect the dashcam to these and try to supply it with voltage, it unfortunately doesn't respond. And since this is a company vehicle, I'm not allowed to add anything about the vehicle's technology (Redtiger F7N dashcam hardwire kit). So no function without a cigarette lighter.
Cool dashcam video. That puts out a pretty crisp video. We put one in our rig, not too long ago. The vantrue N4 is what we have. It really does give you a little extra comfort/relief knowing it's there.
I know this is a older video. I wanted to know are you able to see and read the plates of cars in both directions? How is it at night time? Also thanks for the video!!
You can see plates in the front camera. I haven't checked the rear camera. Night time is actually really good. We were surprised. With the lens cap, it really cuts down on the light glare.
I had a Ventrue dascam, which was held with a suction cup and kept falling off. I don't want anything to do with suction cup cameras anymore. Now I have the Garmin 67W dashcam, which sticks to the window and a magnet that holds it in place.
If you have a RAM (and I think you do) and you want to plug in the hard wire into the fuse box (which I think you will) you'll need some kind of mini to micro fuse adapter (if you know of one, let me know), I'm still looking for that. Also, the rear camera cable length is about 2-3ft to short and my RAM is standard bed, not long bed.
I cut the cable and lengthened it but I'm handy with a soldering iron, shrink wrap, wiring shit & tools. Unless you aren't (which you probably ain't) redtiger sells a 33 foot extension for around $20 on their website. That's at least twice as long as the default that comes with it. They also sell a 50 footer if you install it to a pull behind RV or something.
Hello, the cigarette lighter socket in my vehicle works even if the vehicle is turned off. If I connect the camera there, will the parking mode work without purchasing an additional kit?
@@1StrangeAdventure awesome. Did you ever end up hard wiring it or just using it normal plugged in . Any upgraded memory card. Looks like a 256 is biggest can get with it. Are you still using a 32gb
Great review!!! I see u are very close to my location in your video . I’m in Blairsville,Ga . Are u still liking the dash cam after using it for a while? And how easy is the hard wire install? Thanks
Question on the built in Wi-Fi. Do you need to have a Wi-Fi service in your truck? I have BlackVue 900plus & I can never find the Wi-Fi ip anymore. I had a sync drive from T-Mobile & I can’t connect it to Wi-Fi. Also how does it do sitting in direct sunlight? My BlackVue front camera doesn’t record sometimes I think due to heat. I’m considering this cam or a lte that can take a SIM card.
Thank you for the video. I am trying to decide whether to buy one of these. Did I understand correctly: if the unit is not hard wired, you have to turn the camera on and off every time?
I would recommend removing it from the dash or making sure you put a windshield sun visor up when parked. In direct sunlight, it can overheat but I think that will be true for any camera.
@@1StrangeAdventure so wait, the usb c connector goes to the dash cam, but the other end, isn’t it supposed to be a cigarette lighter port connector? In your video it seems you had a usb c connectors on either end of the connecting cable? Thx
Nice video & truck. Watch your video last night at work and decided this was the one. I just received my new F7NP dual cam early this morning. This is intended for my new 24 Camry Hybrid LE that’s in transit. Should be received it in a couple of weeks. In the meantime I installed the front cam in my 06 Tundra SRD. I’m not going to install the rear because the window slides down to open fully. Of course it only comes with the 32gb micro card. I’m going to purchase the 258, but what special sd micro card do I get for this cam? I read it needs to be a class 10? Anything else I need to know before I purchase it? Thx.
Just had this installed this week. But when I get in to drive it goes black after 10 seconds., Is it supposed to stay on while driving. I have found once I connect to the internet it has footage of me driving. Just a question. Didn't know if it should still be showing while I am driving.
All I wanted to see the car plate number showing clear because if someone hit the car and run and I want to see the plate number through my dash cam it doesn’t show clear
I use Waze for my GPS. Can this unit's gps be shut off or not displayed? Do you know if the gps is recorded along with the video? I'm looking for a unit for my wife's new car and this one looks good. Thanks for the video.
Did you ever hardwire this and is it hard? I heard if you use the rear camera, the front camera drops from 4k to 1080p which is weird can you confirm that?
Been looking for a dashcam for awhile, found your video. Thanks for the info. And noticed you are filming basically next door. Must be staying at Talona. Stay safe!
Great video! I also have a ram and was thinking about getting this camera. While recording, can the screen be turn off while driving? Do you also have a video on how to install the back camera.
Great video! I was wondering where to put it in my RAM, not much room around that mirror I must say but doesn't seem to intrude much on visibility.. From what I see, for the money, this one is worth it. Thanks for the video.
It has worked out pretty well there. Any other place and it's too far to the side and with the windshield angle, you don't get a full clean view. Happy to help!=
@@1StrangeAdventure so I am not 100% sure. Does staying ON means it will be ON but will not record? You will have to physically press a button to record each time you want to record? This is not very convenient
quick question, so will it record 4k in 60 fps or just 30 fps? or do i need to record in 2k in order to get the 60 fps? planning to change my old dash cam which stopped working after 8 months lol
Hey there, would you happen to have a video on hiw to do the hard wiring?! I'm located in Germany and will travel to California in July and I would love to use the parking mode, but I'm not quit sure if I would be able to set up the hard wiring on the rental car...would love to see that upfront 🫣 any help would be highly appreciated 🥰 Greetings from Bremerhaven in Germany. Bye Ina 👋
It doesn't have to stay connected. You only connect if you want to see the footage on your phone. I typically just take the SD card out and load the footage on my computer.
You can leave it on while parked so that it continues to record. However, you can’t access it remotely unless you’re close enough to connect to the cameras Wi-Fi signal.
Depends on how you install it. If it’s just sitting up there plugged in to the top of your dash and you don’t go through the trouble of hiding wires, then it would be simple to move. If you want to hide wires, I would suggest a second wire kit/ mount. The camera removes easily from the mount so it would be pretty easy if you had a window mount in both vehicles.
@@1StrangeAdventure You should be able to read numbers or letters on license plates or tags of other cars day and night otherwise footage maybe useless for hit and run!
Hello- the front facing dash am is in 4k. The rear facing camera is the lower resolution. That camera is separate and does not have to be installed in order to use the 4k camera.
Personally I’d recommend the Viofo A139 with the Starvis 2 chip. It has _actual_ 4k, unlike this one, and the video is far, far less grainy. You can even clearly see license plates. It’s only $30 more than this one, too
This thing has flash memory for all your settings. And that includes of course, wifi. Just leave it ON. Unfortunately you did NOT go through the process on the phone of connecting via settings, wifi, etc. I suppose that's where you enter the default PW (12345678). You also didn't have the rear camera connected and by default BOTH show up in the little monitor there. the rear camera shows up in the top starboard quadrant (but its pretty small). I think you can turn it off though. If you actually need to show an accident to a LEO its gonna be a bit involved using a phone as this app is NOT very intuitive. I need to work on that. You can also connect the entire camera to a USBC charge cord that's connected to your computer. Or you can remove the microSD card and read it that way. There's a directory called "cardV" and inside that it shows all the files separately under directories for "F", "R". Set your file length to 5 minutes (the default is 1 minute). I have the 128gb card (by sandisk) and each file on the forward camera is about a gigabyte so you have quite a bit of time before write over begins. yeah about 21 hours of recording before the rewrite.
@@1StrangeAdventure I don't how to mount it to the outside of the car in the back, how to wire goes and stuff, cause the rear cam has to be wired to the outside and its waterproof, stick is inside won't work.

Thanks. The camera you are using is really cristal clear (on Hannspree HS249 monitor).
Is it possible to view the cameras on the app, if you are away from the truck? I can’t find the answer to to this

I had a Ventrue dascam, which was held with a suction cup and kept falling off. I don't want anything to do with suction cup cameras anymore.
Now I have the Garmin 67W dashcam, which sticks to the window and a magnet that holds it in place.
Thanks for the review, does it show the license plates clearly?
For some reason my dash cam stopped displaying the speed correctly. It’s saying I’m always driving 0 mph.
So you have to physically turn the camera on every time you start your car to drive somewhere?
If you have a RAM (and I think you do) and you want to plug in the hard wire into the fuse box (which I think you will) you'll need some kind of mini to micro fuse adapter (if you know of one, let me know), I'm still looking for that.

Put in the rear window of your truck…duh.
I cut the cable and lengthened it but I'm handy with a soldering iron, shrink wrap, wiring shit & tools. Unless you aren't (which you probably ain't) redtiger sells a 33 foot extension for around $20 on their website. That's at least twice as long as the default that comes with it.

Can you do a video of the rear cam. Curious if you can use it behind the RV
Question can you watch parking mode clips away from the camera for example like at home and get live footage?

With the GPS module.
In the setting on the app there’s a few option for quality are you running 720 or 1080p
So after 6 plus months of use would you still recommend? I want to upgrade our setup to a 4K dash cam and possibly use travel footage from it.
How does this dash cam hold up in the arizona heat? I want to get one for my girlfriend and this is a huge factor in determining what to get.
I would recommend removing it from the dash or making sure you put a windshield sun visor up when parked. In direct sunlight, it can overheat but I think that will be true for any camera.
It claims to use a super-capacitor rather than a lithium battery for backup power, so it should hold up better in extreme temperatures.

The dash cam is in 4k so you can zoom in if needed and catch details you may have otherwise miss. It's not optimized for producing video content.
But the most asked question: can you read license plates on playback???
Thanks for the review. I'll give it a miss thanks, it can't capture clear writing, such as signs, plates etc i.e, @8:17 @8:28
so no one installed the rear camara
We haven't yet but plan to in the near future.
@@1StrangeAdventure I was trying to find a clear video how to install the rear cam but no luck yet, thanks for replying !!!
Gotcha. It plugs into the top of the front camera. So where ever you mount it, you need to be able to get it back to the front camera.
@@1StrangeAdventure I don't how to mount it to the outside of the car in the back, how to wire goes and stuff, cause the rear cam has to be wired to the outside and its waterproof, stick is inside won't work.
