I did a review on the Pilot Dash cam at the exact same spot. I think the Pilot Dash cam is better then this one. ruclips.net/video/5CQorpZPhRY/видео.html
For a dash cam under $25 it does the job. And turn the audio off. If you ever need it for court, or something along those lines, the last thing you want to do is let the judge/lawyers here you singing to Black Sabbath, -) .....
LOL I listen to the country cover of the Back Street Boys. Heard it at Pilot Truck stop and I was like damn BAck Steet Boys Translates great in country!
For $19 cant beat it if youre on a tight budget. Absolutely better than nothing. What settings did you have it on? My night time footage is not too bad.
I just kept the factory settings and put it in night vision mode. I think its on a 3 minute loop. I agree I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on a dash cam but rather have something then nothing. I rather buy other things like fund my projects
I just got it today , i love it. Works for its purpose. I do not need the most HD quality and i do not really drive at night much. I’m usually home before 6 pm
I'm too cheap to get a $300 dashcam lol. I say this is better then nothing. What inspired me to get one is at the gas station someone backed up into my car. Thankfully she was honest and her insurance took care of that. But after that I said I need a dashcam!
@@ashleynicole8757 Yes I like how you can play the footage right on the cameras screen and it's easy to lock the footage you need so it doesn't get erased during loop recording. When I got backed into at the gas station I was lucky enough that the person that did it admitted fault but I was worried she would lie. She did $600 in damage to my car and that would of sucked to pay out of pocket. So I said thats why I need a cam. I bet no one will ever hit you again now that you have a dash cam that's how life works lol
These cheapy dash cams are just crap at night. This one is a little clearer. The cheapest one I have is my favorite one ruclips.net/video/5CQorpZPhRY/видео.html
Go through the settings and increase all of the picture quality settings (ie: brightness, etc). And when you use it at night push the on /off button 2 times. The 1st time opens the camera and shows a sun at the top of the viewing screen for daytime driving. The 2nd time will show a quarter moon and a little star in the in place of the sun for night time driving. By pushing the on/off button once or twice will toggle between day/night driving. But you want to be quick enough when toggling back and forth or you'll turn the unit off.
There is a nighttime mode you can put the dash cam on by hitting the power button on the bottom of the camera, you will see that the sun icon turns into a moon edit: it should not look like that at night, I have the same one and it has the ir lights
Onn has been great. Got 1 TV, one headset from them. Not disappointed. And I did have a camera, it died when I got in a wreck. Had the camera for 3 years
I have an issue with mine, one of my footage got corrupted and wont play anymore both in the camera itself and computer when I tried making a copy of it in my computer. Any idea how to fix that corrupted file? Or any way to salvage that footage?
I have the same one but the sound quality is shit! Static and breaks up. Yours is clear! Plus mine doesn’t show the signages clearly the words are blurry. Did I get a dud one? Could you tell me all your picture/video settings? Like contrast etc!
Did they release an updated version since the one on the website is showing a different design? I'm looking at getting one or asking one for Christmas since my aukey dashcam literally fell apart from the heat 😂
I think I figured it out. It's the method you use to connect it to your computer. Some information such as video, audio, or both just doesnt transfer. I put the SD card into a go pro with the touchscreen attachment and was able to playback the footage perfectly. Also playedback just fine on the actual device. Try using a different way to connect it to a computer I guess. (I wasnt able to get it to my computer but I think thats the problem)
@@ZacharyTelesca Can you view footage on the screen itself? I just made this video for people wanting to view it on the screen ruclips.net/video/bQe5sj0_7z0/видео.html
@@JohnDrivesAnything its just the computer you plug it into I guess. I put it in my dads comp and it worked great. I'm 17 so no matter what accident I get into (or any 17 year old) its pretty much our fault even if it wasnt. Sooooo worth the $20 to potentially save thousands.
I think your night time quality is better than mine. I get a super noisy, pixelated video that is all but useless. I even bought a class 10 SD card, thinking a higher quality card might alleviate some of that issue…ha, nope.
You know you’re sitting here saying this camera is terrible but I’m watching the same video that you’re watching my dude and it looks great. I love mine and I got it on sale for nine dollars. You really can’t complain about that. I can see perfectly clearly the beautiful horizon that you’re looking at and a little foothills off to the left unless those are mountains in the distance …I’m watching on my phone so I can’t tell… each street sign is readable and considering that you’re in a Corvette which is a relatively loud engine you can’t expect amazing audio quality, but what you proved is that when you were talking to it it sounds just fine. More than enough to prove your innocence in a crash or to play James Bond on someone within range. Bottom line I think you’re being a little hard on this device, this is top-tier electronics for people who can’t afford anything fancy and over the top. According to my personal use of this thing, I’d rate this little guy an 8 out of 10. Only thing I wish is that it had 1 cameras to allow a wider angle so it would cover the entire front of the car.
I'm watching this through my laptop so maybe on a smaller screen it looks better. I didn't think I was harsh at all in this review. I say for the money get it. I have no desire to pay hundreds for a good camera and rather have something then nothing.
The recording came out well enough for me to pause this video in a couple of places and with a simple Google search come up with the area that the uploader lives in. Just a reminder to be careful what you put out there for the world to see. If the authority's wanted to pursue an "exibitionof speed" or the speeding tick it's self they wouldn't have to hard of a time finding out the real idEntity if this person. Just FYI. I wonder how long after this comment that this will stay up..... How long it takes to get noticed by the CA. Chips.... How long it takes or even IF a citation is issued.....
@@JohnDrivesAnything i got one for my dad ( the one I was asking if 64gb worked) and the picture was much worse than yours in daytime, haven’t testing nighttime
And furthermore, while you were hauling ass with all that wind noise it had bad audio… But once you slow down to 20 mph during the night shot it sounded fine. And also how could you not notice the difference? Before you hit the night vision but it was a black screen, after you hit it I can see the road and the yellow dots in the middle. You’re a hater. Lol I’m not Martin Scorsese trying to film my fucking car accident lol this is just to get me out of an argument with another driver. That’s what I bought it for, that’s what it’s gonna do, and as far as that is concerned it works perfect
Did you buy stock in this company lol. I didn't think I was harsh at all in this review. I even say buy it if you don't want to buy an expensive camera. It's better then nothing.

The daytime footage actually looked better than whatever you were filming the screen with. Not bad for $20.
I picked up the revised version. I'll review it soon
This is actually surprisingly well in picture quality and audio! Plan on buying this
Right on man glad this video helped you out. Be safe buddy
I bought this and mine is shit! Not as good as his fir some reason the sound is static

@@JohnDrivesAnything b thank you
My 64gb microsd card wouldnt detect.
I just bought one of these a couple days ago. It's fine for the price. Night time quality produces a pretty noisy picture, but its at least usable.
Yeah better then nothing. All my rides have cheap dash cams. I rather have other things then nice dash cams lol
There is a updated version, see if that’s better than this one!
I bought it a few weeks ago. I'll review it soon
Mine makes everything look far away. (Wide angle?) Is it possible to change that?
can you make the screen turn off? i dont like seeing the screen on at night while its recording
Day time isn't to bad but night is useless. I wonder if it would be better with your brights on or in a well lite parking lot?

Up the Exposure for Night time and it gets a little better

Did you use the Memory card it came with ? Heard of some people having issues with it
Yeah I am but it's hit and miss it seems. I'd get a top of the line one
Got one of these for Christmas. Only a 8 gig SD card. With audio and sound, how long does it record in time?
If you run out of space it will erase older files so it can just record all the time. If you need to save a file just press the orange lock button.
@@JohnDrivesAnything it is viewing the saved video that is so hard to understand. Do I have to lock a video file before viewing?
Merry Christmas man
Merry Christmas buddy, going to road trip Christmas Eve night
2917 ft in 20 seconds = 99.44 MPH - Thats FAST MAN. What you running under that hood?
I was only going 65 MPH. Breaking the law is bad

What brand memory card are you using? You might be able to salvage the file if you run it through movie maker
@@JohnDrivesAnything okay, that might help. Thank you!
Try reformatting the card. Or you may have to replace it with a new one.
I have the same one but the sound quality is shit! Static and breaks up. Yours is clear! Plus mine doesn’t show the signages clearly the words are blurry. Did I get a dud one? Could you tell me all your picture/video settings? Like contrast etc!
I left things pretty much at the default. Sounds like you got a defect. If you got it at Walmart they have a pretty painless return policy.
Did they release an updated version since the one on the website is showing a different design? I'm looking at getting one or asking one for Christmas since my aukey dashcam literally fell apart from the heat 😂

OK Mr. Kilmer.

Same for me. I dont get audio or video. Just black screen and static. Pictures work for some reason though.

According to the paperwork you can't go higher than a 32gig card.
It does. I have a 64gb in it now. In fact you can put up 128gb micro cards in it. Gonna put a 128gb in mine.
Does it has a speedometer??
No gps on this just a basic dash cam
How do yall get the video that have already recorded
Memory card into laptop
