A118-C 1080p HD Car Dash Camera with Capacitor G-Sensor 1.5" HD Screen 170 Degree Wide Angle Lens Records at 60 FPS with Loop Recording

Bought this dash cam for peace of mind in case we were ever in an accident. I chose this particular product over some of the other dash cams because this was very discreet sitting right next to the rear view mirror. It has a slim profile and camouflages well with the rear view camera.Installation was simple, and I managed to wedge the cable around the side of the windscreen, under the passenger footwell, and down the centre console into the cigarette lighter. Once plugged together, and a sd card entered, it was able to record right away. I am fairly happy with the quality of the images - quality was good enough for me to pinpoint where exactly my meet and greet airport company asked my car near Heathrow.Note it wasn't entirely clear to me what the capacitor did, but essentially it retains some charge so that there is enough battery to save the data to the sd card when you switch off the car. I'm happy with this product and have no hesitation recommending this on.

very easy installation to my carvery good picture qualitygood quality producti connected it to my cigarette plug which the power only works in certain positions of my ignition keywhen i turn the key to accessory position its fine the camera powers up and goes into auto record modewhen i turn the key to ignition on position its fine the camera still in auto record modebut when i turn the key to starter motor position it temp disconnects the cigarette plug from powerwhich stops the camera auto recordingso in order to get it to work first time on auto record i have to turn my ignition key through all 3 positions in one turn( that means put the key in and turn it fully into starting position in one go )this seems to work finethe only other alternative suggested to me was to hard-wire the unit so it stays powered up all the timeas i am unsure if this will run down my car battery during lack of use ( i have gone for the first option )all seems ok so far

Had this for a couple of months - seems very reliable - fit and forget device. It seems to loop record as described - some other units require you to constantly erase the memory card. It hides very well behind the blacked out part of the windscreen behind the mirror. Worth buying a hard wire kit to make it almost invisible. I would recommend the Nextbase hard wire kit (£15) as many of the others seem to have quality issues that could result in melting or fire. Video quality is excellent with number plates visible clearly.

The camera started recording ok but after a few minutes the recording would stop and the unit had obviously crashed (displaying a purple, blue, green or black "screen of death"). The camera can be reset but after approximately the first 8 attempts even the reset function did not reboot the camera, leaving it in a locked state with a black screen and the only sign of life was the power light.The instructions are just about usable, but the buttons and controls are extremely unintuitive.Overall a very poor quality item, which I returned for a refund as I dare not risk a replacement for an item that malfunctioned in the first few minutes of use.

It’s a good camera but the lack of instructions is a problem. It would be helpful to add an SD card or explain that the SD card needs to be formatted before use. It would have saved some time.

After searching the web and looking at many cameras I chose this model. It's a Great value,Good quality unit.I found it easy to install &set up. I would suggest operating your wash/wipe to give you a guide line on the windscreen as to the top of the area covered by the wipers.(you need to ensure the camera lens is below this) I would recommend holding the camera at the indended position on the windscreen & video for a few seconds then play back the image on you pc to check you are geting the best view of the road ahead with the minimum of the dash & windscreen edges showing.Overall a good little unit.

Seems to work fine for the most part but has issue where it restarts one or two times when ignition is started so hopefully it isn't a problem in the long term.Edit:Camera now repeatedly restarts while driving and is just over a year old so disappointed concidering my main viofo cam works perfectly. I would recommend getting something better for a rear camera

Bought this for my son's VW Golf as he is a young driver and we both wanted piece of mind provided by a dash cam. This particular dash cam is great. He hardwired it into the fusebox which was extremely easy to do using a fuse piggyback kit and once fitted, the dashcam is hard to see from the outside - its certainly a very discrete looking thing!There were a few teething issues but that was mainly to do with SD cards being corrupted (not the dashcam's fault but the SD cards being fake!)Overall very happy with this purchase and it looks OEM, unlike those dashcams that use a suction mount on the windscreen!
