I've gotta say, I was pretty happy with my old iBox GTS model with camera bases. It lasted me years without any issues, so when it finally died on me, I decided to stick with the same brand and get the iBox RoadScan. Two months in, and I'm really pleased with how it's performing. The video quality is top-notch, and the display on the unit is great.
One thing that's really impressed me is the polarizing filter on the lens – it's adjustable, and it makes a huge difference in reducing glare from the sun on the windshield and dashboard. I remember having some issues with glare on my old model, so this is a big plus. Now, I know some folks might think it's a hassle to use the unit's built-in power cord, but I've been using it from the 12V outlet just fine. I recently picked up the manufacturer's adapter for a more discreet installation under the dash, which is nice.
I did wish the manufacturer included both power cords in the standard package – it's not a huge ask, and it would save us all some trouble searching online for the right adapter. But overall, I'm really happy with the iBox RoadScan. The build quality is great, and it's been a total value for money so far. I'd give it a solid five out of five stars.
