Forget about the dash cam for a moment. What a wonderful video guide this is. Very well explained and includes almost everything which should covered.EXCELLENT!!
Excellent ... I've had 2 of these for many years ... and I've never had them set up properly before ... Great instructions ... much easier to follow than the 'instructions' included with the dash camera ... Very Well Done !!!
I have one of these and in the UK the instructions are in Chinese too. I didn't have a clue how to get the infrared to work on this Dash cam... Now I know :) thanks the video is a great help I thought I'd never know how.
This vid is way better than most of the 'love to hear the sound of my own voice' vids out there. No waffle, just clear concise instructions - thank you! This helped me a lot with my Chinglish booklet. But do you know where the Reset button is? I'm guessing at the bottom of the 5V DC hole???
[December 2020] Thank you very much! We bought a used vehicle and it came with a dash cam. We do not know how to use it so I searched on RUclips and we found your video with the same type of dash cam ! Thanks again!
You are very welcome! So glad to help you! Hey, that dash camera is pretty old tech. If you ever want to upgrade to a much better, newer Dash Camera with 5 times better video quality, you can check them out here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
Thank you for this video. I was about to toss my Aduro dash cam because I have been having a heck of a time figuring it out. This video may help. I need to go try after watching.
He said he will send you English instructions Also Take a picture of the instructions with your cell phone and then enlarge the picture for easier reading
Excellent tutorial, clearly explains the confusing menu tree with examples and clear narration. Other videos are done by flipping through the screens at the speed of light, with loud techno music and no narration, totally useless. I could not figure out how to select an option or do much of anything with the unit until viewing this tutorial. Then I figured out that my "REC" button was very stiff and required an extra hard push, now all works OK. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
What a cool video! You've cleared up all my doubts concerning this gadget and after watching it I've just ordered one. Thank you! Cheers, from southeastern Brazil.
Thank you. Your video was very informative as I found the instruction leaflet that came with the camera was not very easy to under stand. I read in the previous inquirer that you no longer recommend this item ? May I ask why as I have bought this item today, perhaps I should send it back ?
I do my best to let customers know exactly what to expect. Subscribe to see more great demo videos for Dash Cameras, Spy Cameras, Surveillance Cameras, Nanny Cameras, and anything having to do with Cameras in general!
best demo video ever. hey i was looking at your NEW! 1080P Swing Lens HD Dash Cam Video Recorder Car Camera Vehicle DVR LCD i would love to use that a a field monitor for my DSLR does it have an HDMI input?
I have an supposedly newer version of your car DVR. Although there are more items to select from you did a damn good job of describing how to set it up and use. The problem I'm having is that all of a sudden it stopped recording and instead of the little record dot showing up an icon that looks like a page from a book has shown up. The instructions, in a simple word suck! They explain NOTHING. Anyway, what does that mean? Do you have a video for the version I have?
I have one of these but do not have the buttons you show. I see your video is 10 years old and I got my dash cam only a few years ago (2-3). Mine didn't come with a battery like some videos show for this model. So maybe I got jipped? Instead of an SD card mine has a tiny "card" for recording. Just frustrating that I am not sure if my camera will work or not.
Hi i purchased mine elsewhere before I found you. What do I need to get to make it work? The SD card? Also mine won't stick to my window or car itself, what do you suggest? Do you sell either the sd card or what I would need to make it stick. I buy ALOT of technology I subscribed and marked your web site I will check you out 1st. Thanks
Hi, i'm Q about the HD infrareed Dash cam DVR with 2.5" LCD, when when u close the LCD screen the camera still recording with with power still on? Thanks
Hi... excellent video. I received this dash cam (without infrared) from my manager for Christmas. Unfortunately, it only came with the Chinese directions. Are you willing to make just your directions available? Thanks!
I need to know if I can view the LCD in real time when mounted. I need a way of seeing that the light has turned green and that I can go. I am too tall to be able to see it change colors. What I need to know is if the 2" LCD can be set to play in real time or does it only play when displaying recorded video. TYSM!
Great video, but no mention of whether this cam loops back when the SD card is full and records over old clips, or do you have to format the card every time it is full?
Hi, someone who bought this from you years ago recently passed this dashcam to me and pointed me to this video, everything is easily to understand but not how to set the correct date. After I put the right date and time what do I have to press??? Tried all but still stuck in the year 2136 lol
does night vision is set to automatic with the light is off? and also with motion detection does it record and stop when no motion has been detected? and also it function in night vision also? thank's you have a great demo
+that one guy --- I would avoid this particular model. It used to be decent when I was selling them a few years ago, but they are old technology, and also the market is now saturated with Look-a-like clones which are not even as good as the model I am demonstrating in this video! Click the link below the video to see much newer and better models. Each model has it's own demo video on the listing.
I've bought one of these but it doesn't seem to work the same. The box, contents, and even the camera look identical to yours. However, the menu has come up in Turkish or Greek so I can't find the "language" option. Please can you demonstrate how to navigate to the "English" tab? Thank you.
You didn't buy from WATADEEEL, so who knows what you got? There are look-a-like clones everywhere. When you order from WATADEEEL, you get exactly what you see in the demo video.
thanks a lot! i found this video extremely useful, i dont have a same camera but the same menu and i couldnt understand a think when i read it.. until i watched this. GREAT VID!
how is the sound quality from the video playback? if i'm playing music in the car, will it record and playback clearly or will it sound distorted n choppy?
Thanks for your helpful video. I wud like to know when u said u pushed record do u hv to push that everytime u go out or start the car or is it automatic?
Is there any chance I can buy YOUR instructions on this dash cam? I've tried the manufacturer and all I get is the small folding piece of paper that explains next to nothing.
Thank you! I got this camera as a 'bonus' gift at work. I've nearly lost my mind trying to figure it out! I finally got it set up only to find I had captured audio only. ##!#;&:;;;%%==/;! I don't understand why an 'Audio Only' option would be included on a dash CAM ! The mfg didn't understand that ppl who buy cameras would want pictures? smh. Thanks again! This gift may be useful after all!
A question please. I have 2 of these dashcams. The one I use does this: I charge the battery, put it in the dashcam, take the dashcam to the car and plug the lighter cord into the dashcam and the lighter socket. The dashcam will NOT turn on! It WILL turn on if I remove the cord and use the battery only, which only powers this for 30 minutes. Please refer me to a specific setting or tell me what the issue may be please! The red power light DOES turn on when I plug it in the lighter. Thank you VERY much!
I have no idea what could be wrong. The first thing I suspect is the car charger cord. Maybe try a new cord? You can get one here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
Will it record when car is parked...? If so than what abt car battery? How long the car battery could charge it ? Pls explain? Since some one is puncturing my car tyre at night.😰...🙏
There's tons more instructional videos and demo videos coming! Be sure to stay subscribed and turn on notifications so you don't miss any future uploads!
Quick Question?? What if you want to mount it on your actual dash & not the window will it record upside down or does the picture flip & reorient.? The cord would drive me nuts hanging in my view. I so want this for my new business. I advertise companies on my car. & I want to also make videos for clients & my pages.
+EmperorJinx151 It will record and play back upside down so you will need some type of video editor to rotate the file 180 degrees if you want to play it on a pc.
Do not leave this unit installed on a really hot day because it can break. I live in FL and this unit crapped out after two days last summer. Other than it not liking direct sunlight, this dashcam is great!
It would be helpful to have a tutorial video for the other version of this camera. There is evidently another version than just what you show. Ours has a different menu and different settings. The camera itself, the box, everything else but the menu settings look the same and are the same.
Did you buy the item from me? One of the most difficult aspects of doing demo videos is that the manufacturers inevitably produce newer versions, and usually this involves new menu structures. Since the quality of the resulting video is virtually the same between both versions, I will probably not do another demo video. However, when I got the newer version that I am now selling (Click link below video), I made up a whole new instruction set for my customers so they know how to operate this cool little gadget!
My son bought it for hubby and me as a gift, so I have no idea where he got it. Your video was the most informative we have seen, but it had been a different menu-type. Thanks, Serena
This was the most informative operations video. Very well explained and understandable. For how the instruction print out was unreadable and explained, I might as well had tried to read the Chinese version! I would like to suggest that anyone who lives in hot summer extremes (like I do in Texas) think about not mounting the camera suction on the windshield where it can be as extreme as 200+ degrees on the surface, but instead mount it on the rear view mirror. You still have the view you need and it's within the shade and ac of your vehicle. I put a window shade up when parked and this also allows me to keep the camera in place without having to remove it for that purpose. The view from my mirror is largely unobstructed too and my eyes trained to the section blocked in the middle like looking through binoculars or eyeglasses.
Question. I got a 4sight dash cam for Christmas. I recorded videos on it Xmas day. The next day I filmed a few more vids, assuming that the older ones were still saved. On that day, the 26th, I put the SD card into my home computer and found that only the videos and pictures from the 26th were on the card. Kind of a bummer. I was recording myself rhyme. I'm assuming that the Dash Cam automatically records over old material everyday? Is there a way to set my dash cam up, so that it stops recording when the card is full or set it up so that the camera doesn't reset on a daily basis? Could more videos from separate days fit onto an SD card with more gig space on it?
This item is a dash camera, typically used for recording only the last few hours of driving. This is why it "loop records" and writes over older files. If you set the camera up to stop recording when it was full of mundane video, then what if you got in an accident, and all you had recorded on the SD card was last weeks driving? Now, if you do some driving, and for some reason you want to save some clips, for whatever reason, then you can just copy them to your computer, okay? That way they are safe. I hope this helps to clarify things a bit.
to prevent loop recording, go to recording menu and set 'record time' to OFF. Likewise, to loop record, set 'record time' to to loop after 1,3, 5 or 15 mins.(as in the recording menu.
The audio only mode has to be turned on in the menu first. Then it will show when you switch in between the modes. You will recognize it because the screen will show a microphone and a timer on the screen.
I have been charging this camera for 2 days and it won't even turn on or light up red when I plugged it in to charge it when I first got it. What is going on with it?
Morning, I am looking at options for dash cam's. Does the LCD screen on this model have to be open for it to be activated or can you keep it closed? Regards Doug
TheKingdoogie I do not recommend this dashcam anymore. It is older technology. Click the link below the video to see much better options that this old model! To answer your question, the LCD display can stay closed and out of the way while recording.
Just bought one. Its a great and cheap option. However, the panorama of the shot is somewhat reduced. I had a previous camera (also a cheap one) in which you could see the entire front end of the vehicle, so it gave you a larger view reach widely. This can be a disadvantage or not. Just wanted to let people know. Great review, Thanks
Hi i just watched this video after purchasing my unit off ebay..my unit does not have a bunch of those features you have on yours. they ad says mine is the latest model im wondering if you still sell these and if the model i have is not supposed to have those features.i have the dvr027. Also i clicked your link and theres only a repair kit in the ad for it..whats the link to your product and how much are ypu charging? Thanks
I no longer offer this product for sale. I have discontinued this item. There are better models which have replaced it that you can find by clicking the link below the video!
Marcello Santilli You can't update the firmware. I recommend updating to an entirely new dashcam. This cam is really outdated. Click the link above for much better quality dashcams that we now offer!
I have this exact model camera, and sometimes the screen goes bright... you can still kinda see what the camera is picking up but it's highly annoying... any thoughts on why this happens?
If you turn on the camera it start filming automatically. You can stop recording by using the record button. Once you pressed that button you can't restart filming unless you turn off the camera and turn it back on. Is that normal?
If you buy one for $15 then that is the junk version. Listen, if you buy something from my store (WATADEEEL) then you will get exactly what you see! If you buy from somewhere else, thinking you are getting a good deal, then there is a bad chance you will be severely disappointed!
Evidently Daryl No you do not have to have the screen open to record. However, I STRONGLY suggest you purchase a camera at the link above, where it says "BUY DASH CAMERAS HERE:" There are much better options available now.
Does it need a memory card in order for it to work. Also I've just switched it on via the USB and inserted its battery but all its showing is USB and a diagram on screen, is this right?
Looking for help . I ordered this item but my features are slightly different and I need help .No booklet of instructions . It works but does not light up on outside.
Uh oh. We get this kind of message all the time. What you bought is probably one of the cheapy clone versions. We do not have any instructions for the cloned copies. Next time please buy from a trusted source, such as us here at watadeeel. We have some awesome sales going on right now: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
Yes, a larger IR LED array would certainly increase range. The camera lens is already IR sensitive and sees IR light. So if you put up a big giant IR LED array and shined the invisible IR light on anything in the camera's field of view, the camera will see everything the IR LEDs are illuminating. Note that you would not have to have the auxiliary LED array next to the camera at all. In the same way that you can see a tree in the forest at night if your buddy 50 feet away is shining his flashlight at it, so too an IR sensitive camera lens can see anything illuminated by IR lighting.
A minha travou na abertura da foto das duas motos e não sai disso... O que posso fazer para ressetar? Mine caught in the opening of the photo of the two bikes and it does not go away ... What can I do to reset?
How long is the record time? and does it have a feature where it erases the previous recording file and makes newer ones so you don't miss stuff when card is full?
Poochie43124312 Yes this item will Loop Record. However, I no longer recommend this dash camera, because there are much better options available presently. Click the link below the video to see NEW and BETTER Dash Cameras!
+shon jon -- It used to be a good dash camera, but it got cloned so many times and watered down that the original manufacturer's were unable to keep producing it because nobody was buying the higher priced original version anymore. So now the market is flooded with cheap low quality imitations. This is why I no longer stock this model. For much better quality dash camera options, click the link below the video!
Hi. I've purchased one of these in car cameras in the UK. However even after i've inserted the SD card and turned the unit on it says on the screen "No Card". Ive changed the SD adaptor but it still says the same message. would you think it's a fault with the unit of am i doing somthing wrong. Can you help please
It's 50/50 chance the unit itself is at fault. If you had purchased from me, you would have gotten a 100% tested unit. I test each one before shipping, and include a Quality Control Sheet to show what was tested. I run into units like yours regularly. I get the "No Card" error. I try a couple more cards, and if I keep getting the error, the unit is put in the DOA box and does NOT get shipped to any of my customers. It goes right back to the supplier for replacement! Sorry for the bad misfortune.
Ah! I see you were distributing these? Fair enough. For the price I got if for as of 2018 it serves my purposes. Great video. Thank you... BTW... The sound record works for me? I simply put the micro phone mode and pressed record... Gave me a .WAV file. Not great but it seems to work.
Excellent! They are old technology, but they still serve a valuable purpose. If yours ever bites the dust, check out our newest models here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
@@cryptohunt2552 I'm so sorry for assuming. My instructions have Chinese on one side of the fold out instructions and english on the other side. Mind you I'm still confused as hell trying to get mine set up.
+christopher murphy --- I do not recommend this dash camera any more. If you want a FAR BETTER replacement with superior 1080p video, wide angle lens, etc, click here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras. However, to answer your questions, all of my dash cameras have "Loop Recording", sometimes known as "Cyclic Recording" in which the dash camera will erase older files to make room for newer ones. This happens automatically.
I recently purchased a dashboard camera , it worked out of the box so I charged the battery and it won't come on now . The instructions mention that if the DVR hangs itself to use the reset hole and gently reset . HELP where is the reset hole ??? thanks
+Richard Secor --- If you do not have a reset hole then you certainly didn't purchase from me. Many sellers sell cloned copies of these dash cameras. If you want to make sure of exactly what you are getting make sure you purchase from a reputable seller. I have much newer models than this camera if you click the link below the video you will see the latest prices. I know this doesn't help your present situation, but chances are, unfortunately you have a bad one and will be sending it back to whoever you purchased from?

However, when I got the newer version that I am now selling (Click link below video), I made up a whole new instruction set for my customers so they know how to operate this cool little gadget!
My son bought it for hubby and me as a gift, so I have no idea where he got it. Your video was the most informative we have seen, but it had been a different menu-type. Thanks,
Serena
This was the most informative operations video. Very well explained and understandable. For how the instruction print out was unreadable and explained, I might as well had tried to read the Chinese version!
I would like to suggest that anyone who lives in hot summer extremes (like I do in Texas) think about not mounting the camera suction on the windshield where it can be as extreme as 200+ degrees on the surface, but instead mount it on the rear view mirror. You still have the view you need and it's within the shade and ac of your vehicle. I put a window shade up when parked and this also allows me to keep the camera in place without having to remove it for that purpose. The view from my mirror is largely unobstructed too and my eyes trained to the section blocked in the middle like looking through binoculars or eyeglasses.
Question. I got a 4sight dash cam for Christmas. I recorded videos on it Xmas day. The next day I filmed a few more vids, assuming that the older ones were still saved. On that day, the 26th, I put the SD card into my home computer and found that only the videos and pictures from the 26th were on the card. Kind of a bummer. I was recording myself rhyme. I'm assuming that the Dash Cam automatically records over old material everyday? Is there a way to set my dash cam up, so that it stops recording when the card is full or set it up so that the camera doesn't reset on a daily basis? Could more videos from separate days fit onto an SD card with more gig space on it?
This item is a dash camera, typically used for recording only the last few hours of driving. This is why it "loop records" and writes over older files. If you set the camera up to stop recording when it was full of mundane video, then what if you got in an accident, and all you had recorded on the SD card was last weeks driving? Now, if you do some driving, and for some reason you want to save some clips, for whatever reason, then you can just copy them to your computer, okay? That way they are safe. I hope this helps to clarify things a bit.
to prevent loop recording, go to recording menu and set 'record time' to OFF. Likewise, to loop record, set 'record time' to to loop after 1,3, 5 or 15 mins.(as in the recording menu.
The audio only mode has to be turned on in the menu first. Then it will show when you switch in between the modes. You will recognize it because the screen will show a microphone and a timer on the screen.
can you use a usb power cable to power it?( you mentioned charging with an pc right) and what ir vawelenght does it operate on? :)
I like how this video included my house on Queen Ave lol what are the odds
Odds are pretty low!
I have been charging this camera for 2 days and it won't even turn on or light up red when I plugged it in to charge it when I first got it. What is going on with it?
If you bought it from me, go directly to eBay, contact me via message, and I will send you a replacement.
What would be a good size storage card for this unit? I'm a trucker, and drive 12 hrs a day. Thanks
8-16GB. It depends on what you are trying tro catch on video. If all you want is the last hour or so in case of an accident, 2GB might even do it.
if i bought a separate more powerful IR light would it boost the range of this cameras's night vision?
The Lewis Emporium Yes if you had supplemental IR light it would definitely enhance the night vision.
watadeeel cheers thinking of purchasing a IR light made for cctv cameras and using it with this. it has a range of about 65 feet.
Morning, I am looking at options for dash cam's.
Does the LCD screen on this model have to be open for it to be activated or can you keep it closed?
Regards
Doug
TheKingdoogie I do not recommend this dashcam anymore. It is older technology. Click the link below the video to see much better options that this old model! To answer your question, the LCD display can stay closed and out of the way while recording.
Just bought one. Its a great and cheap option. However, the panorama of the shot is somewhat reduced. I had a previous camera (also a cheap one) in which you could see the entire front end of the vehicle, so it gave you a larger view reach widely. This can be a disadvantage or not. Just wanted to let people know.
Great review,
Thanks
Hi i just watched this video after purchasing my unit off ebay..my unit does not have a bunch of those features you have on yours. they ad says mine is the latest model im wondering if you still sell these and if the model i have is not supposed to have those features.i have the dvr027. Also i clicked your link and theres only a repair kit in the ad for it..whats the link to your product and how much are ypu charging? Thanks
I no longer offer this product for sale. I have discontinued this item. There are better models which have replaced it that you can find by clicking the link below the video!
watadeeel How can we update the firmware?
Marcello Santilli You can't update the firmware. I recommend updating to an entirely new dashcam. This cam is really outdated. Click the link above for much better quality dashcams that we now offer!
I have one of this and I can not turn on the lights of the camera .... How can I do it, please?
Simply tap (do not hold) the power button when in record mode.
I have this exact model camera, and sometimes the screen goes bright... you can still kinda see what the camera is picking up but it's highly annoying... any thoughts on why this happens?
It sounds like the camera is faulty. If you had bought it from me I would have sent you a replacement.
Excellent Demo it helped me a lot (Y)
+The Great!!! ~~~~~> Okay perfect! Glad to have helped!
Does it records the back of your vehicle, just in case someone hits u from the back?
If you turn on the camera it start filming automatically. You can stop recording by using the record button. Once you pressed that button you can't restart filming unless you turn off the camera and turn it back on. Is that normal?
fantastic video mate helped me out loads, just 1 question, can you set it to run on a loop, so once the sd card is full it starts again
I saw the same camera on ebay and it was 15 dollars. I was wondering if that is the same model. And do you have newer models of this product.
If you buy one for $15 then that is the junk version. Listen, if you buy something from my store (WATADEEEL) then you will get exactly what you see! If you buy from somewhere else, thinking you are getting a good deal, then there is a bad chance you will be severely disappointed!
This is soo cool! Bec. You watch in its LCD screen too?
BEST VIDEO FOR THIS PRODUCT
Hi, do you have to have the screen out in order to record? I'm concerned that it will use up a lot of space.
Evidently Daryl No you do not have to have the screen open to record. However, I STRONGLY suggest you purchase a camera at the link above, where it says "BUY DASH CAMERAS HERE:" There are much better options available now.
Do I have to press the power button everytime it's night to record in the dark? Or will it automatically do it?
Does it need a memory card in order for it to work. Also I've just switched it on via the USB and inserted its battery but all its showing is USB and a diagram on screen, is this right?
Looking for help . I ordered this item but my features are slightly different and I need help .No booklet of instructions . It works but does not light up on outside.
Uh oh. We get this kind of message all the time. What you bought is probably one of the cheapy clone versions. We do not have any instructions for the cloned copies. Next time please buy from a trusted source, such as us here at watadeeel. We have some awesome sales going on right now: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
would a larger ir illumination unit possibly increase the night vision range?
Yes, a larger IR LED array would certainly increase range. The camera lens is already IR sensitive and sees IR light. So if you put up a big giant IR LED array and shined the invisible IR light on anything in the camera's field of view, the camera will see everything the IR LEDs are illuminating. Note that you would not have to have the auxiliary LED array next to the camera at all. In the same way that you can see a tree in the forest at night if your buddy 50 feet away is shining his flashlight at it, so too an IR sensitive camera lens can see anything illuminated by IR lighting.
A minha travou na abertura da foto das duas motos e não sai disso... O que posso fazer para ressetar? Mine caught in the opening of the photo of the two bikes and it does not go away ... What can I do to reset?
My one froze. This model doesnt seem to have a pin reset button anywhere on it like my previous camera.....
How long is the record time? and does it have a feature where it erases the previous recording file and makes newer ones so you don't miss stuff when card is full?
Poochie43124312 Yes this item will Loop Record. However, I no longer recommend this dash camera, because there are much better options available presently. Click the link below the video to see NEW and BETTER Dash Cameras!
The video above looks so good, but why so many negative reviews and it having low quality?
+shon jon -- It used to be a good dash camera, but it got cloned so many times and watered down that the original manufacturer's were unable to keep producing it because nobody was buying the higher priced original version anymore. So now the market is flooded with cheap low quality imitations. This is why I no longer stock this model. For much better quality dash camera options, click the link below the video!
Beautiful explained.great bro thanks
For a small car can this dashboard camera also be used as reverse camera? or do you have any other product in your ebay shop?
We have much better dash cameras here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
Hi. I've purchased one of these in car cameras in the UK. However even after i've inserted the SD card and turned the unit on it says on the screen "No Card". Ive changed the SD adaptor but it still says the same message. would you think it's a fault with the unit of am i doing somthing wrong. Can you help please
It's 50/50 chance the unit itself is at fault. If you had purchased from me, you would have gotten a 100% tested unit. I test each one before shipping, and include a Quality Control Sheet to show what was tested. I run into units like yours regularly. I get the "No Card" error. I try a couple more cards, and if I keep getting the error, the unit is put in the DOA box and does NOT get shipped to any of my customers. It goes right back to the supplier for replacement! Sorry for the bad misfortune.
watadeeel I also found if you try different cards you will find one that works. Thanks
Michael Slaughter Cheers. Ive returned it to the supplier and got a replacement. I'll let you know how it goes. thanks for the help
I would say it's the unit. When it does read card error , change cards.
How long could you record video at lowest resolution with 16gb card. 3 hours?
Hi there, do you need to have the LCD flipped open in order to record? Or can you have the LCD closed and it will still record automatically?
It records with the screen closed and open.
mr watadeel hope i spelled ur name correctly just brought one of these can i buy yr instructions for the 2.5 inch dvr?

Nice demo...well done!!
Ah! I see you were distributing these? Fair enough. For the price I got if for as of 2018 it serves my purposes. Great video. Thank you... BTW... The sound record works for me? I simply put the micro phone mode and pressed record... Gave me a .WAV file. Not great but it seems to work.
Excellent! They are old technology, but they still serve a valuable purpose. If yours ever bites the dust, check out our newest models here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras
Thanks for this. I have ne of these, but had trouble setting it up properly die to the bad Chinese instructions.
ENGLISH ON THE OTHER SIDE
@@andreawilliams3016 There isn't any English.
@@cryptohunt2552 I'm so sorry for assuming. My instructions have Chinese on one side of the fold out instructions and english on the other side.
Mind you I'm still confused as hell trying to get mine set up.
@@andreawilliams3016 No worries.
I orderd one of these but can not get the loop record to work any tips afer it records what it wants it shuts off
It doesn't sound like you ordered from me, because I test ALL outgoing units. Hopefully your seller will replace/refund for the unit?
hi there can it be set to loop record back on it's self when memory card is full because as a truck driver 32g memory is just not enough thanks.
+christopher murphy --- I do not recommend this dash camera any more. If you want a FAR BETTER replacement with superior 1080p video, wide angle lens, etc, click here: watadeeel.com/product-category/dash-cameras. However, to answer your questions, all of my dash cameras have "Loop Recording", sometimes known as "Cyclic Recording" in which the dash camera will erase older files to make room for newer ones. This happens automatically.
I recently purchased a dashboard camera , it worked out of the box so I charged the battery and it won't come on now . The instructions mention that if the DVR hangs itself to use the reset hole and gently reset . HELP where is the reset hole ???
thanks
+Richard Secor --- If you do not have a reset hole then you certainly didn't purchase from me. Many sellers sell cloned copies of these dash cameras. If you want to make sure of exactly what you are getting make sure you purchase from a reputable seller. I have much newer models than this camera if you click the link below the video you will see the latest prices. I know this doesn't help your present situation, but chances are, unfortunately you have a bad one and will be sending it back to whoever you purchased from?
Very comprehensive review, explaining how the dash cam works. Well done....
I do my best! I have several new dash cameras that I am reviewing now, so SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss any new reviews!
This is a great Dash Cam and this overview is done very well.
+Chris Hopon ---- I do my best to show exactly what product you are getting when you order, so there are no surprises!
Hi, can I download your instructions somewhere?
