Yea i bought one also. for the price how can you complain? I think the one i have does what is is suppose to do. I am buying a second one for my wife's car to.
I bought one identical for similar price and decided to have a 32GB mini card also from China. The instructions took a little understanding but I got there in the end and the cam works just fine. For the price you couldn't do better considering you will not going for an Oscar award but simply a piece of mind if you do need some visual evidence of an event. Installing was straight forward and discreet. I am pleased with it that now I purchased another cam for the rear window. To be sure, to be sure.
I know it's not great quality footage but Tesco were selling these dash cams off at £5 each on the run up to Christmas and even if the footage is bad quality it might be enough to determine whos fault it was in the event of an accident. Also when you get out of your car after an accident and some Guy says "That was all your fault" just point him to the dash cam and let him know it's been recorded, I bet his next sentence will be "Can we settle this out of court?" Thanks for the video Ryaniwk
I'm convinced that there are about 5 different versions of this camera. I got one for $15 USD & its different from yours in several ways. I've seen others that cost $30 USD & those come with a USB card reader. my biggest gripe was that the USB cable that came with mine had a very skinny wire & as a result, didn't work. luckily i had an old cable laying around that was compatible
Actually it does good job for that price. If you chose continuous recording then the 1 sec delay would be eliminated using a fast 32 GB class 10 micro SD card (not a fake SD card) which can record for around 4 hours. Another problem I have is with people buying cheap gadgets and then complaining about the performance. You could use it a rear cam and buy a more expensive for the front.
I brought one of these recently. I would say it's good value for money. I have another much, more expensive, dash cam which is the one I use most of the time. It's clearly a better cam but less good value for money. When this one arrived the default language was English and it seems the software has been upgraded. It does not appear to add any functionality but it does look a lot nicer to use. (This might mean you can upgrade the cam's software. I haven't checked though.) If your not sure if you would need a dash cam and want to try one out without spending a lot then this one does the job well enough.
Snagged one or a very similar one on Amazon for $7. with free shipping. The LED for night mode on mine is a white light LED, not infrared. It seems to work well with a class 4, 16G card I had laying around. The manual is practically worthless. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how the loop mode worked to no avail. The time counter counts to 3 minutes and restarts. I was trying to figure out how to make the camera save a video in the event something happened I wanted to capture. It never occurred to me that every 3 minute session would be saved. What's the point of the G sensor if every 3 minute session is saved anyway? I did notice that the left-most button triggered a circle/slash icon on the screen which was sort of described as a "lock". Perhaps this locks the file from being automatically deleted when the card is full?
Do they have a built in rechargeable battery because soon as I take the charger out it switches off only works when you keep the it plugged in, which I find odd I notice at 2:10 it happened with yours
I've tested it yesterday. With motion detection on, if the camera detects some movement it start recording for 10 seconds. It doesn't stop recording If the something keep moving in front of it. It will be nice if the screen could be turned off :/ and you will need continuous power for this...
Ryaniwk can you please make a quick video on the settings to make the motion detection work? I have the k6000 cheap dash cam, but it's the same menu system as yours, mine doesn't work :(
Can it be used without the car battery plugged in and if so, for how long . I presume it has a built in battery. What type of SD card does it take ? I guess it overwrites once the card is full ?
Hi Taki. You can use the camera without the plug but it wont last long. I'd say maybe 10 to 15 min. I had problems with the micro SD card. Try use a good quality one, 32gb tops. The files will be overwritten when the cards full.
Thanks for the comment!! I will do a cheap action camera review video pretty soon. Comparison with GoPro 4 include :) Any other suggestions are welcome!
When I plug my power cable into the unit, I get a brief second of camera-view on the screen and then it defaults to a generic, cartoon drawing of the apparatus. When I take the cable out I get a few seconds of camera-view again before it shuts off ( because the power lead has been disconnected. Why can't I keep the camera view on my screen????!?!!!
I wonder if mine is broken or whats going on with it. Menu and the keys to browse menu work. But how do I enter the selection. If i press ok button nothing happens..
Hello, my Full HD car DVR 1080p model 36751/2578538 turns off after ± 2.50 minutes, but the blue light keeps flickering but the screen turns black. How does the screen always stay on? Greetings Tony
I have the same camera but with Loop setting at 5 minutes but all files are recorded and saved as Locked so it will not loop to write over oldest files (any files) How do I change the camera setting so recorded files are not locked automatically. thank-you
Great Video and information. I just received my "vehicle blackbox dvr", the identical dash cam in your vid, and while it is a cheap piece of crap, for $10 it's worth it. Thank you for changing the language to english. I would have never figured it out. Also, this cam probably cost 0.50 cents in materials to make, it is easily breakable. And, the cam operates of my phone recharge battery, so it's a neat bodycam too. Thanks again for the excellent and informative review.
Good enough for me. I just bought it for €14,95 at the Action. I'm happy with it. I don't need an expensive 4K Dashcam. It would be worth more than my car, haha.
I have the same camera, but i don't know if it came with an SD card. On the screen in the upper left corner there's a silver and green thing. Is that the SD card? Could you please show how to set it up better please? What size SD Card do i need? Help please! Where do i put the SD Card? Please help!
I think your 170 degree lens needs an adjustment in the aspect ratio setting. You have it set to 1:1 which is a square crop like Instagram. Try 16:9 for a wider angle.
I bought it. I don't like it. Bad quality, and it´s not a 170º's camera... I don´t know why, but it seems that the camera has made a "zoom in"... and I can´t remove it... 😩 Any suggestions?
Could you please tell me what the key means on top of your screen does it means lock and what does the p red. Means the red dot in the middle of the camera that says p on it what does it mean and what does it do please let me know thank you
Hi Donald. Yes, the key symbol means that video is locked. The camera I tested doesn't have the red P buttons. It has an OK button instead. I'm not sure what the P button does on yours tbh
1 question mind doesn't record anymore I don't know why and it keeps saying there's no SD card in in it when there is one in it if anyone have any answer today very helpful thank
Hey Ryaniwk, I have the exact same camera but I have an issue where during the day my videos are blown out/over-exposed and at night they are too dark. I've noticed at night they display the Sun symbol seen at 2:20 in your video and during the day they have the Moon symbol. I've tried changing the time on my dash cam to different hours to see if that would fix it but no success. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, great review!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback! The only way I found to change to night mode is to press the very right button when in record mode. It wont make to much difference. It just a small IR that only works at a very close distance. The night quality footage is really poor.
ryan my SD card reads full, btw i had this camera in my truck for about 4 years now. I just cant get that reading SD card full off my screen. any ideas? Do i have to buy a new card or can i erase and reuse the old one, i thought the card just keeps deleting the data as needed,
i got mine today, different to yours and different to manual, but thankyou you have shown me how to use it. im disappointed its not in 1080 but will make do. as you say get what you pay for
Just got one of these for £10..I can't figure out how to save a video clip...as none are in the playback menu...I'm thinking it's the card...I fomated it...but it's only a class 4 16gb...does that sound likely to be the problem??
Yes, it could be a faulty card. Try a original (good) card, also do a reset on the camera. If the problem remains you have a faulty camera, unfortunately.
I bought this dash cam (or very similar) and spent so much time and effort trying to make sense of the hopeless printed instructions that I didn't get around to fitting it in the car in time. Guess what! A driver, stationary in a right turn lane didn't bother to check their mirrors or check their blind spot before crossing my lane to turn left. My car got bashed in the side. I made a non-fault insurance claim and am anxiously waiting to hear the outcome. Do not delay, don't let the same thing happen to you! There are a lot of drivers out there who haven't got a clue how about the rules of the road and how to drive safely. Please do not delay, don't let the same thing happen to you! Most of the cheap dash cams from China have similar features and controls so check out how they work on RUclips if the instructions that come with yours are rubbish. I wish that I had spent more and got a better dash cam with proper instructions, I could have saved a lot of money in the long run.
I have the same exact camera does anybody know mine does not record video only voice when I take the SD card out and plug it into my computer it's all black only voice anybody know why and how do you play automatic like feedback when you're driving you want to stop and look at what you recorded and what size and what kind of SD card do I need
Bought one yesterday but i bring it back. I was already having troubles with instalating this thing ! I can go to the menu, but the arrow buttons don't respont. So can't set up the date or other things. Cost me 29,- euro's by a Dutch shop called Gamma.
I think you will need to press the red button. You’ll see a key lock symbol on the screen. If is not the red try another button :) The clip could be overwritten yes, but depending on the SD Card size, it will take hours of driving until it loops back...
Had mine a month and it stopped working at first it kept saying SD card full despite having loop recording switched on and now it keeps switching itself off.
Looking at the lens on left side of the cam there is a very small hole with RST a bit of a fiddle to get a non metal "pin" cocktail stick maybe with power on press and hold reset button ✅
chadergeist82 Everybody knows that. It's called a joke. Also keep in mind it isn't just the US where we drive on the right side of the road. Also all of Europe except UK and Ireland, almost all of Asia and so on.
I have one of these, but i cant get the AVI to playback on my mac or pc. Ive installed VLC, any suggestions plz? What software have you used in the video?
I have also bought one of these cameras, only trouble is that the picture is upside down on the screen! has anyone any idea how to get to the right way up ???
For the price. The video is ok. The let down is the software. I have often not been able to read the recorded clips. Sometimes it just fills up the memory card and locks up and doesn’t record anymore. For the purpose of a dash cam. It’s worth spending a bit more for a bit more quality and reliability
literally hour ago bought this same camera, mine says CT TEK Car Dash Cam HD Portable DVR with 2.4” TFT LCD Screen and was $39.99 but on sale after left over Xmas stuff at a gas station (U.S.A.) and paid $22.49. anyways, other than it has CT TEK™ printed on top right face of cam, it's exactly the same dash cam 😁 thanks for the video review. I bought this as a 2nd dash cam for my back windshield to video rear view when driving. I think at best it is only good for that, especially since I think theres no way to zoom in n out 😐 and the "1080p" quality is so great it's meant for a 'rear viewing' dash cam. I subscribed also and look forward to other video reviews, thanks again!❕😁
Thanks, Ryaniwk, very helpful. I bought what appears to be a similar unit from Morrisons, £18, 720 res. If it doesn't suit for frontal quality may put in it back and get a better unit for front.
Hi, I bought two but the first time I tried them for a few seconds, it started recording, the second time is no longer past the start logo, could someone help me?
got one of these "free" with €1 postage, after using it for 2 days pure shyte tbh. where to start? terrible field of view, night vision is shocking, time/date stamp resets to 00:00 every time I turn on car ignition! seemed to be recording 3 minute segments but unable to view any recordings, if i try on the camera it freezes up on the "mode" screen. Connect to mac- folder full of .avi files, try to view any of the files using VLC and all are unreadable with times of 0:00. waste of €1 :(
Thanks for a great video. Very informative, but short and to the point. It's a thumbs up from me. The camera looks compact & well designed, I was thinking of getting one for £8.78 (no SD card) on ebay, for my rear windscreen. But the video quality looks so crap I suspect it's a rip-off copy of one with a better lens etc.. This one would probably do the job in case of a rear shunt but it's not for me. Do you have the video chip and/or processor number? That's often a give away.
So it's worth noting that I bought this across the pond in the USA after buying a new car 7.5 hours from home, and needing a dashcam for the ride. This was on August 8, 2022. It was sold at a gas station for $30 USD. It is not worth that. It isn't worth the $18 you paid. You nailed all of the issues with the camera. It auto turned off one time. The first time I used it. And it turned off...not the screen, but the entire unit! I had to manually turn it back on to restart recording. Lastly, the only other thing you missed, was that I cannot get either G-shock to auto-save videos, and the motion sensor that you left off. If you turn it on and save it...it turns RIGHT BACK OFF. There is no way to turn on and keep on motion sensing (not like it would work anyway, see previous sentence about G-shock not working. Fairly certain it doesn't have it.) Thanks for the review!
I just got one of these and the battery does not charge. It always has to be plugged in or it will not work. It shows it can be charged but it refuses to charge. Other than that it’s good for the money. It will show an accident if there is one and that’s what you need right?
Works very well. I’ve had mine for 2 years. Still working fine.
hahahha! The surprised cat at 4:34. Now there's a ringing endorsement !
Cool video mate.
LOL Thanks mate!!
That video recording is honestly not bad for $13, the quality is good enough to show what happened in an accident. thanks for reviewing it!!
Thanks for the feedback!
The Finder, The same! ;-)
Yea i bought one also. for the price how can you complain? I think the one i have does what is is suppose to do. I am buying a second one for my wife's car to.
For $13 camera it has no way not to be bad, so it's bad => the quality is bad enough :)
I bought 2 and both of them just didn’t work
I bought one identical for similar price and decided to have a 32GB mini card also from China. The instructions took a little understanding but I got there in the end and the cam works just fine. For the price you couldn't do better considering you will not going for an Oscar award but simply a piece of mind if you do need some visual evidence of an event.

Well said!
I need a PDF of the instructions. Any idea where I can obtain this?

How do you make it continuous record once its full? Its called a loopback feature yeah?
Does the mic automatically turn on once it starts recording ? I have a symbol on the screen indicating that the mic is off. 🤯
I brought one of these recently. I would say it's good value for money.

How do I save footage in the event of an accident as I would not want the footage to be overwritten
Im trying to catch the button sequence after 2:34 as how to change back to English. any help most appreciated
Please check this video ruclips.net/video/HX--EG1j2Lc/видео.html
I wish you could see when you adjusted the settings at the bottom of the camera. It was cut off in the video.
Snagged one or a very similar one on Amazon for $7. with free shipping. The LED for night mode on mine is a white light LED, not infrared. It seems to work well with a class 4, 16G card I had laying around. The manual is practically worthless. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how the loop mode worked to no avail.

Mine does the same, but it says fully charged.
How does the motion detection work for this dash cam? Please reply
I've tested it yesterday. With motion detection on, if the camera detects some movement it start recording for 10 seconds. It doesn't stop recording If the something keep moving in front of it.
It will be nice if the screen could be turned off :/ and you will need continuous power for this...
Thank you very much sir!!! This is the only reason I need one of these, just to baby sit my car while parked. I can hardwire easy. Thank you again
Ryaniwk can you please make a quick video on the settings to make the motion detection work? I have the k6000 cheap dash cam, but it's the same menu system as yours, mine doesn't work :(
Not a problem. I’ll do a quick video
Ryaniwk thanks man, I figured it out, I posted a video of it. Than anyways man I appreciate it
Thanks for the video. What if your car doesn't have a cigarette lighter?
Can it be used without the car battery plugged in and if so, for how long . I presume it has a built in battery. What type of SD card does it take ? I guess it overwrites once the card is full ?
Hi Taki. You can use the camera without the plug but it wont last long. I'd say maybe 10 to 15 min.
I had problems with the micro SD card. Try use a good quality one, 32gb tops. The files will be overwritten when the cards full.
Ryaniwk
thank you for video :)
mine didnt come with Card. it say TF card but regular micro SD card work !?
Thanks so much for this excellent review. Wish there were more people reviewing Chinese stuff.
Thanks for the comment!! I will do a cheap action camera review video pretty soon. Comparison with GoPro 4 include :)
Any other suggestions are welcome!
When I plug my power cable into the unit, I get a brief second of camera-view on the screen and then it defaults to a generic, cartoon drawing of the apparatus. When I take the cable out I get a few seconds of camera-view again before it shuts off ( because the power lead has been disconnected. Why can't I keep the camera view on my screen????!?!!!
How does it work,keep pressing buttons but not sure how to record and stop and playback?
I have this camera but the buttons just stopped working, any suggestions?
does it need to be plugged in to work ? or its rechargable
Can the loop recording be turned off? In a bad accident the driver may be knocked out and unable to stop the camera and the vital footage writen over
I wonder if mine is broken or whats going on with it. Menu and the keys to browse menu work. But how do I enter the selection. If i press ok button nothing happens..
how to set time and date my menu doesnt work.When i plugged in its only recording

Do u know how to move it to another degree?
How can i do Automatic delate.
Because when i drive its allways asking memory fell and its quite hassel to delate manually everytime!
Thx in advance
What is the reason of the music?

Micro sd get a security one, good against lasting in heat

Hi. .I have identical cam...but my screen goes off after a few minutes..??
No idea if it's still recording. .how can I fix this..cheers.
Remove it from the car, rap up the cord , and toss it in the trash and get a new one .

So, I'm now your nr. 3,076 subscribers 😊
Thanks for the support, Mark!
Is there a button to instantly lock the clip you don't want to be deleted automatically? Or you have to do it from the menu?
Thanks for the video, some of these cameras will drain the battery if left plugged in without starting the car for couple days.
How do i play recordings on my phone or computet? Just got this cam
Night driving it’s crap, no night mode . Day recording to be tested .... can you do playback on it?
I have noticed if you take a photo it freezes lol
Thanks for making this vid. I received the same product from a friend. I will now pass this problem along to another friend before wasting my time.
How does it record in a loop? Is there an option to turn the loop on?
Does it work when your car is park? I park outside my job, been having a little issues with idiots.
I have the same exact camera does anybody know mine does not record video only voice when I take the SD card out and plug it into my computer it's all black only voice anybody know why and how do you play automatic like feedback when you're driving you want to stop and look at what you recorded and what size and what kind of SD card do I need
Is this Brum ? The very last bit at the junction looks like a road i know in Birmingham.
+disco2 yes, it was shot in Birmingham :)
Thought so i drive a van around Birmingham and need to get a dash cam with all the idiot around that area.
Bought one yesterday but i bring it back. I was already having troubles with instalating this thing ! I can go to the menu, but the arrow buttons don't respont. So can't set up the date or other things. Cost me 29,- euro's by a Dutch shop called Gamma.
How do i save a Video while driving? Like an emergency reason. Otherwhise it will be overwritten?
I think you will need to press the red button. You’ll see a key lock symbol on the screen. If is not the red try another button :)
The clip could be overwritten yes, but depending on the SD Card size, it will take hours of driving until it loops back...
Hi all I have problem with dash camera the blue light is always flashing, who can tell me where the problem is? thank you.
I got the same, but can't turn it from Chinese to English. Can you please let me know how to do it?

I have one but this one use TF card I don't know if I can use a regular season card.
If someone were to crash in front of me how do I save the clip?
Anyway to view the video files over a USB cable?
Terrific review, like the way you let us decide based on the images.
How do you reset this thing? Mine constantly freezes
Looking at the lens on left side of the cam there is a very small hole with RST a bit of a fiddle to get a non metal "pin" cocktail stick maybe with power on press and hold reset button ✅
YOUR ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD YOU MANIAC!!

Everybody knows that. It's called a joke. Also keep in mind it isn't just the US where we drive on the right side of the road. Also all of Europe except UK and Ireland, almost all of Asia and so on.

I have one of these, but i cant get the AVI to playback on my mac or pc. Ive installed VLC, any suggestions plz? What software have you used in the video?
That sounds like damaged files… Try another SD card Chris. Let me know if it worked
Thanks Ryan, ive have now formatted the card, from within the cam menu, ill let you know how that goes
I have also bought one of these cameras, only trouble is that the picture is upside down on the screen! has anyone any idea how to get to the right way up ???
how do you shoot at night?
Which one you recomend
Question: lets say that i have 3min mode recording and i just crashed the car .... next move is to push the red button to stop recording?
I have this dash cam and it keeps making a really loud noise on charge?
For the price. The video is ok. The let down is the software. I have often not been able to read the recorded clips. Sometimes it just fills up the memory card and locks up and doesn’t record anymore. For the purpose of a dash cam. It’s worth spending a bit more for a bit more quality and reliability
Got the same one and was told it should have motion detection when parked but i dont think it has this option. Can anyone confirm?
Now how to format the micro card ???
literally hour ago bought this same camera, mine says CT TEK Car Dash Cam HD Portable DVR with 2.4” TFT LCD Screen
and was $39.99 but on sale after left over Xmas stuff at a gas station (U.S.A.) and paid $22.49.
anyways, other than it has CT
TEK™ printed on top right face of cam, it's exactly the same dash cam 😁 thanks for the video review. I bought this as a 2nd dash cam for my back windshield to video rear view when driving. I think at best it is only good for that, especially since I think theres no way to zoom in n out 😐 and the "1080p" quality is so great it's meant for a 'rear viewing' dash cam.
I subscribed also and look forward to other video reviews, thanks again!❕😁

where you can buy that card for dash cam
+Quan Nguyen I recommend not to buy a cheap card. Try Ebay or Amazon but be careful. Have a look at the feedback first
Got mine this week, can't read the instructions, the print is so small.
Thanks, Ryaniwk, very helpful. I bought what appears to be a similar unit from Morrisons, £18, 720 res. If it doesn't suit for frontal quality may put in it back and get a better unit for front.
Thank you so much. My first time with a car camera. Think I'll go with something a bit better.
how does the auto Loop record start how do you change that
can you use the slimline dash camera for RUclips video's?
My Siskin dash cam HD will not over write, have to format sd card every 3 days..........
Ordering it right now. Thx for the review
How do I play recorded files. Can I play on device.
Can I use a microSDXC card
Hi, I bought two but the first time I tried them for a few seconds, it started recording, the second time is no longer past the start logo, could someone help me?
got one of these "free" with €1 postage, after using it for 2 days pure shyte tbh. where to start? terrible field of view, night vision is shocking, time/date stamp resets to 00:00 every time I turn on car ignition! seemed to be recording 3 minute segments but unable to view any recordings, if i try on the camera it freezes up on the "mode" screen. Connect to mac- folder full of .avi files, try to view any of the files using VLC and all are unreadable with times of 0:00. waste of €1 :(
Thanks for a great video. Very informative, but short and to the point. It's a thumbs up from me.
The camera looks compact & well designed, I was thinking of getting one for £8.78 (no SD card) on ebay, for my rear windscreen. But the video quality looks so crap I suspect it's a rip-off copy of one with a better lens etc.. This one would probably do the job in case of a rear shunt but it's not for me. Do you have the video chip and/or processor number? That's often a give away.
+Clive Grant thanks!! I don't have any info on the chip or processor. I can try to open it!! Sound like good fun to me :)
Thanks again Clive
Have a look at this Clive > ruclips.net/video/Kv9-yKPlKvA/видео.html
I installed nextbase fhd cam at front, I will use this cam for rear & side view capture.
Is there a night vision mode
So it's worth noting that I bought this across the pond in the USA after buying a new car 7.5 hours from home, and needing a dashcam for the ride. This was on August 8, 2022. It was sold at a gas station for $30 USD. It is not worth that. It isn't worth the $18 you paid. You nailed all of the issues with the camera. It auto turned off one time. The first time I used it. And it turned off...not the screen, but the entire unit! I had to manually turn it back on to restart recording. Lastly, the only other thing you missed, was that I cannot get either G-shock to auto-save videos, and the motion sensor that you left off. If you turn it on and save it...it turns RIGHT BACK OFF. There is no way to turn on and keep on motion sensing (not like it would work anyway, see previous sentence about G-shock not working. Fairly certain it doesn't have it.) Thanks for the review!
Yeah. G sensor does not work for me either.
I just got one of these and the battery does not charge. It always has to be plugged in or it will not work. It shows it can be charged but it refuses to charge. Other than that it’s good for the money. It will show an accident if there is one and that’s what you need right?
What size tf card did u use. How were we seeing playback? Computer or camera?
+TheHmurveit 32gb tops. You can play the videos on camera or computer
Ryaniwk I was asking ur video are u showing it thrucomputer?...also how many do u lock? choice is 1 or all... I would prefer more options like last 5
