- The build quality is okay, I guess – nothing special, but it didn't feel flimsy either.
- The shipping was pretty standard, nothing to complain about.
- The price was competitive, but that's about where the positives end.
- The camera itself is pretty lightweight and easy to install.
cancelCons
- It just plain died after two weeks, with no warning signs or issues beforehand. That's not what I call reliable.
- The customer support was pretty unhelpful, suggesting I update the firmware without any guarantees it wouldn't happen again.
- The build quality isn't as sturdy as I'd have liked, especially considering the price.
- The app had some weird connection issues, which was frustrating.
- The battery life is pretty average, nothing special.
- The return process was a bit of a hassle, but I'm glad I did it.

A Reliable Dash Cam for a Few Weeks, Then It Just Died
I picked up this dash cam after a friend suggested it, hoping it would be a solid choice. At first, everything seemed good - it consistently captured video, and the app worked okay. There were a few weird issues with connecting now and then, but I figured it was just a minor glitch.
One thing that did impress me was the video quality. It was pretty solid, and the app worked without too many issues. If I'm being honest, the two things that worked well for me were the video quality and the app itself.
But then, out of nowhere, the dash cam just stopped working after two weeks. I mean, it just plain died. I reached out to customer support, and they told me I needed to update the firmware. Yeah, there's a fix, but who's to say it won't just die again in a few weeks? I decided not to take the risk and returned it.
Might be a fluke, but I'm not gonna risk my money on a device that might not last. If you're looking for a reliable dash cam, I'd say keep looking. For the price, I expected a lot more bang for my buck. The shipping was okay, but the build quality felt a bit cheap. I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting a lot more value for money.
Now, I know some people might say, 'Well, you just got a bad unit.' But the thing is, I'm not the only one who's had issues with this dash cam. I've seen plenty of reviews online complaining about the same thing. It's just not worth the risk, if you ask me.
So, if you're in the market for a new dash cam, I'd say do yourself a favor and keep looking. There are plenty of other options out there that are more reliable and offer better value for money.
