Great package overall. Will not disappoint!
Has everything you will need in my opinion. It functions as it is supposed to, but did run into that beeping/slow card error. With this error I advise to contact Viofo and tell them the error and ask for a different firmware made for slower cards. I am not sure if it would've worked, but in my case I just reformatted it 3 times and it somehow helped and haven't gotten that error since, with a Sandisk max endurance card.With that aside, the camera quality is exceptional and all most would need to be honest. I almost went with 4k, but realistically you get all you need from a 2k camera. I did not hard wire it so I'm not sure as far as that goes, but if you know how I expect it to run well. I have no problems connecting to the wifi of the camera and extracting videos. It does take a bit of time to do so, so beware. For this reason I set it to capture 2mins every loop (going to be around 200+mbs of storage). If I need more I will just grab more video from the storage, no problem. I will also suggest if you put it just to the left of your mirror, make sure you put it far enough away or low enough so you can access the SD card or you will hate yourself for not doing so at some point. For example, if you need to install new firmware or your card fails, you will need to access that port. An even bigger reason for wanting to do that is because this 3M adhesive is ridiculously strong. When putting it on I needed to remove it and I negligently took it off and I had to remove the adhesive from the camera, which took 30+minutes of alcohol scrubbing. Luckily they pack an extra 3M adhesive, which saved some frustrations. Very easy to install the wires in your car (even SUV). Once you get used to how much pressure to apply on getting the wires to fit behind the airbag slots and other plastic areas, it moves very quickly. I would say it took roughly 25minutes to get the wires snug where I wanted them. The audio is also very good along with the video quality and I honestly have nothing bad to say about those two things. They perform with ease and exceed expectations in that manner. I have owned it for a couple months with no other flaws, besides that card speed error. It feels like a very solid package overall and would recommend it for anyone who constantly runs into negligent reckless A-holes on the road.*Would have uploaded a video of it's performance, but Amazon degrades the upload quality, so no point.*

I’m very happy I bought it.
This things great!I’m still getting used to it, but the video quality is good and the interface on its screen and the iPhone App are relatively easy to use.The sticky mounting tape it comes with is good. It’s fall now and not too hot. The real test will be the blazing sun in summer. I can always replace it with some heavy-duty 3M double-sided tape from Home Depot if needed.I am not sure what length video files to choose. Default seems to be 1 minute video clips for both front and rear camera. I think I will make it 5 minute intervals for my use. 10 minutes long, if the file gets corrupted, I’ll miss out on a lot. 1 minute long, and I have a million tiny video clips to go through. 5 minutes would seem optimal.The first day I used it, I accidentally plugged it into a power-port that is on all the time (I did not know I had one of those!), even with the keys off and out of the ignition switch. I had installed the maximum size 512GB SD-Card for storage. It ran for the entire day!It loop records so it overwrites older files and films forever until you stop it or remove the SD-Card.At first I was mad, thinking about my car battery draining. But then I viewed the footage. It recorded all night! It stayed on all the time. If anyone had hit my car or been on my property, it would have recorded everything, even muffled sound from inside the car!I think I will add a second car battery and a dc to dc charge controller now. That way my car’s starter and power battery will never be damaged, and this camera can always be on using the secondary ‘house’ battery and record 24/7.I only bought it to record someone road raging me or for evidence in a car crash. Now I know it can protect the car and its surroundings all the time!My own private security camera.I chose this unit because of reviews it got on YouTube. The screen quality is good. I can easily read road signs and see good details like license plates in the daytime. I’ll be running my own tests.A minor annoyance is the SD-Card port. I’m used to ports with a positive spring loaded action to remove the card. The cards engagement in this port is not crisp like I prefer.I do need to double check it each time I remove and install an SD-Card.Overall, this has been a very satisfying product. Time will tell if it continues to be that way.I’m very happy I bought it.

High quality dashcam
I've tested a cheaper dashcam, and can say with certainty, after researching this and watching multiple reviews, that the camera quality here is among the best that can be bought at this price point. The quality of the video is quite high, although a bit over-sharpened sometimes, but that's possible to fix when editing, and has made it easier to see numberplates in quite a few occasions where the visibility wasn't great.The dashcam has quite a lot of settings, including higher bitrate recording if you have sufficient space. It has a high enough framerate, and provides some useful information visible on the video itself which can be removed, decreased, or increased depending on what information you would like to see.The GPS seems to be used to detect speed, and the accuracy of the speed reading is quite good.Installation was easy. I suggest using the trim tool and hiding the cables, but be careful not to hide the cables in-front of an air-bag.I have yet to use this for long enough to see its longevity.The speed functionality is an added bonus for recording track days to see the speeds that worked best at different corners in addition to being a great dashcam otherwise.
