Dash Cam Front with 32G SD Card, CHORTAU 2K FHD Car Driving Recorder 1.47'' IPS Screen 170°Wide Angle Camera for Cars with APP, Night Vision,24H Parking Mode, Loop Recording, Motion Detection

Great device, easy to install and great deal for the money! Below are my comments: 1. Easy to install – installation of the front facing camera took about 10 -15min to attached to windshield and run the wire along the headliner, pilar, under dash to plug in socket. a. The rear camera took a ~15 to 20 min to install. I installed it on the rear window as it would have taken another 10 to 15 min to run the wires through the hatchback frame. I don’t have the back-up camera feature implemented in this install as the car already has a backup camera. I had the camera attached to the back window frame but it fell off because of lack of a good attachment surface. 2. Ease of use – it took a little to get use to the menu buttons which uses the left side buttons to navigate the right button to “apply” or “ok.” Even the default settings a sufficient to start recording immediately. 3. Clear video - the video looks clear and license plates are visible. There are times in direct sunlight where the camera tries to adjust and it may be harder to make out the letters on the plates. I can’t comment on the night time video yet. 4. Turns off when car is turned off – great for saving your battery. 5. Files saved off in separate folders for front/back cameras. 6. Great customer support – response to my email question was within 1 business day.

Great camera! Good quality just a downside only turns on while driving but not parked… but great item

Setup was a breeze. While choosing my desired settings, it was clear this dash cam is high quality compared to others I've owned. It feels durable and well made and the video quality is excellent. Before the first trip, however, I ran into a snag. I could not wake up the camera after the screensaver kicked in. I was initially very frustrated, disappointed, and ready to leave a bad review but I took another look at the instruction manual instead and found a reset button and used it. After that, no problems at all, but I turned off the screensaver just to be safe. As it turns out, that issue might not have actually happened at all. Confused? Check this out... Through the lenses of my particular sunglasses, I cannot see the video at all, no matter how hard or closely I look, but I can see the video just fine without my sunglasses. So that issue I had? I'm pretty sure I was wearing my sunglasses and that was the cause, but I'm not 100% certain on that. Idk if this is a safety feature to prevent distractions while driving or a happy accident with whatever type of screen protector they put on this thing. Obviously it would only be effective during the day, when people usually wear sunglasses. I've yet to drive with it at night, so I can't comment of the night vision capabilities yet, but so far, I'm impressed. Update: The main reason I got this particular unit was for the advertised heat resistance and it has held up remarkably well in the Arizona summer heat compounded by being in a hot car for over a week. The night vision is actually pretty good as well. The main problem I've had with this unit is the motion detection. It needs to be more sensitive. I've had cars and people pass right next to me and sometimes the motion detection does not pick it up. Other times I've had the motion detection stop recording a mere ten seconds after it picked up movement. This happened a few times sitting at a red light when the intersection wasn't that busy. This is potentially really bad if someone hit me at that moment or some other incident occurred. I've also had the unit turn off and on for no apparent reason even though it is receiving constant power. Lastly, any time it randomly resets or you open up the menu for any reason, or you hit the"OK" button to manually start recording, it automatically turns off the motion detection so you have to make sure to turn the motion detection back on EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you rely on the motion detection, you have to check it before you start driving just to be sure it didn't go back to the default off setting. Because of these things, I am knocking off one star. I am very tempted to knock off two stars but I'll hold off unless something else negative comes to light. The backup camera, however, works great provided you can position it exactly right. That requires a lot of back and forth to check the image. I still haven't perfected it's position yet. It would also be beneficial to add two more screw holes on the back so you could flip the unit upside down to choose between positioning it upside down or right side up. I made my own and so far it has worked out well. One more update: I've been using this dash cam for about a year and a half and it has held up well. One last thing I've noticed about this dash cam: Yes, it does automatically start recording when you turn the car on if you have that option turned on in the settings, but not always. Here is the exception: as you may know, this camera has a loop recording feature allowing it to automatically record over the oldest non-locked video. Sooner or later, depending on the size of your SD card, the card will run out of space. When that happens, the camera has a pop-up notification that your SD card is full. You will then have to manually start recording at the beginning of your trip to bypass that notification (picture included). It basically depends on the size of the last video file when you turned your car off. If it's shorter than average, it leaves just enough space on the SD card to allow the auto record function to start up normally. It's annoying, but sooner or later you will just have to get into the habit of double checking that it is recording as it is supposed to.

I originally purchased this because I am an independent contractor that works for several delivery companies and desired some proof of things and protection in the event of an unfortunate mishap. I found the camera to be of good quality. I do have to say that the instructions need to be rewritten by an American with pretty good grammar skills. That would make set up a little easier. The instruction booklet could be laid out a little differently as well. After getting beyond the language barrier, it was pretty easy to set up and operate the camera. I have yet to set up the rear camera, as it's going to take some effort to string that wire through my panels in the car. The picture quality is pretty good. Still gotta figure out the modes so I can get more than a few bursts of recordings. The mount is good and sturdy and durable. The camera is actually smaller than I expected but it's a good decent size that doesn't draw attention to where it's stationed. After a couple weeks of usage (and rear camera installation), I'll be able to update my review.

This camera is good if you want it for basics like just in case you get into a car accident you have some sort of proof of what happened. This is also a good deterrent for people that want to cut you off or drive erratically around you, I drive a SUV and I noticed when people see the camera because its extremely noticeable they have cut me off way less, that I was not expecting and I live in a high traffic city. There are only minor hiccups which I noticed: Cons: -Date and Time sometimes does not progress to the next day. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that it turns completely off when not plugged in and the car is off. -Suction cup falls off a little more than it should and I wasn't hitting bumps. -Night vision is non existent. You will just be able to record a car hitting you etc. but I don't think you would be able to see much more than the color of the car and type and that's if you are lucky, but you will 100% not see the plates if its night and you are not already in a well lit area. -Has to be plugged in to function, wont run on battery life unless its a motion emergency I think from what the manual said anywhere (this was a non issue for me) Pros: -You can see license plates once the sd card is placed in your computer, you just have to keep freezing the frame but you can definitely make it out but only if its daytime. You wont be able to make out the plates if you look at the camera while its recording. I did that and was worried it wasn't catching plates but on playback on the computer the screen is bigger so you can see. Also if someone has sprayed a reflector on their plates to avoid traffic cameras this will also not allow you to see their plates either because it will reflect the camera as well and all you will see on playback is a bright light around the plate. -Price is reasonable for the basics -Screen is clear Like I said I just want it for the basics nothing fancy. I cant speak on the rear camera because I dont use it.

* * * UPDATE 8/12/2021 * * * We've had this Dash Cam for about 4 months now and the cons are heavily outweighing the pros. We are seriously regretting purchasing this when we did and wished we would have waited to buy a higher quality dash cam. To add to the negatives we posted 4 months ago down below. Transferring footage from the camera to my computer is an absolute nightmare. This issue started about a month after using the camera 5 times a week, back and forth to work, and has been progressively getting worse. I know for a fact that there are no issues with any of my PCs USB ports, I use them all the time with other devices and scans show there are no faults with the USB ports. Yet, when I plug the camera in to extract the files, sometimes it won't register that there is a device connected to the computer. I have to unplug and plug it back in numerous times until it decides it wants to connect. Once connected, it's basically a race to get the files off of the camera because sometimes it will disconnect mid-transfer, so the charades begin all over again until I have successfully transferred all files. It used to happen once every few days but now it's happening at least 10 times per transfer session. My PC has 4 USB ports on the front, and 4 in the back. I have tried all of them to no avail. Either something is wrong with the connecting USB cable or there's an issue with the camera internally. Either way, it's enough to drive the wife insane since she's the one who puts up with the task of transferring files. It's probably best by now to just throw it in the garbage where it belongs. Another issue we've been steadily having for the past few weeks is that the camera chooses when it wants to record and when it doesn't. What I mean by that is, after I have physically plugged it in once I've started the car, and have made sure that it is on and recording, it will stop recording but remain on until I've reached my destination. I won't realize there were no recorded files until I've returned home and fought with it to transfer over files that were never there. This poses a serious issue for myself and my wife. For example: If either of us were to be involved in an accident, then state that we had a dashcam as proof, only to find out it was having a temper tantrum during it all and not doing it's job. So, now we're put in a predicament where if fault is not already obvious then we're basically screwed. I can't put trust in a device that has slowly declined in operating ability. If you take anything away from this lengthy review, just do your research. Save up and buy the best that's out there for your safety. 4/16/2021 - Snagged one of these during an Amazon Deals event, been wanting a dash cam for a while now and this one didn't look too bad. It was easy to set up in our SUV, and mounting both cameras was fairly simple. Sound quality is good for both cameras. The back camera we decided to mount inside our vehicle versus outside, worked better for us. We've yet to hook up the wires internally for the backup camera function, so can't comment on that just yet, and we also haven't used the dash cam at night, so can't comment on the picture quality during the nighttime either. The quality of the rear camera is okay, mildly blurry, but still visible enough to know what you're looking at. The front camera quality is great, definitely not the best out there, but I'm able to read plates if the car is in decent range. I included video footage from front camera and a screenshot from the rear camera. The black line in the rear camera image is just the line on my rear window. There's three negatives so far for me. The first one is the record time. I'm not sure if other dash cams are similar, but it records in 2 minute intervals. So, if I had to use the footage for something, I would either have to send each individual file or find a way to stitch them together in a video program. Just a mild inconvenience in my opinion. The second negative is the date and time feature. I've changed the date and time on it 3 times and each time after it was turned on it shows the date prior. As shown in the video and image I included, the clip is from April 16 around 11am, but shows the date of April 15 around 11pm. I don't know what else to do other than setting the time every time I turn it on before a drive, another inconvenience. It would suck if I needed the footage and the wrong date and time was stamped on the video. The third negative, which might be a fault in the camera that we received, is that it turns on with the slightest touch anywhere on the camera. The power button has to be held down in order to turn it on, but just picking it up or unscrewing it off the mount will turn it on. Just an issue we'll have to live with, but it sucks because it automatically starts recording when it's turned on and takes up unnecessary SD card space. The SD card I have doesn't hold much, maybe less than an hours worth, so will definitely have to get a 16gb or 32gb. Other than those few issues, as I've stated before it works for its intended purpose.

I recently purchased the Front and Rear CHORTAU Dual Dash Cam 3 inch for my car, and I must say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. This dual dash cam has become an indispensable companion for all my road trips. Here's why I think it's an outstanding product: 1. Crystal Clear Recording: The video quality of both the front and rear cameras is remarkable. The 1080p resolution captures every detail with impressive clarity. Even during low-light conditions, the night vision mode ensures that the footage remains clear and usable. 2. Wide Viewing Angle: The wide-angle lenses provide an extensive view of the road ahead and behind, reducing blind spots and ensuring that all critical moments are captured. It's especially useful for capturing scenic routes or potential incidents on the road. 3. Seamless Loop Recording: The loop recording feature ensures that I never run out of storage space. The oldest recordings are automatically overwritten, eliminating the hassle of manually managing the memory card. 4. G-Sensor for Incident Detection: The built-in G-sensor has proven to be a lifesaver. It automatically detects sudden movements or impacts and locks the footage, preventing it from being overwritten. This feature provides invaluable evidence in case of accidents. 5. User-Friendly Interface: The 3-inch display is the perfect size for quickly reviewing footage or adjusting settings. Navigating through the menus and playback is intuitive, even for someone who's not tech-savvy. 6. Easy Installation: Setting up the CHORTAU Dual Dash Cam was a breeze. The included suction cup mount securely holds the cameras in place, and the provided cables are of good quality. I had it up and running within minutes. 7. Parking Mode: The parking mode is a game-changer for those concerned about their car's safety while parked. The dash cam switches to standby mode but activates and records whenever it detects motion nearby. This adds an extra layer of security to my vehicle. 8. Value for Money: Considering the features and performance, the CHORTAU Dual Dash Cam offers exceptional value for its price. It's a cost-effective way to enhance safety and accountability while driving. In conclusion, the Front and Rear CHORTAU Dual Dash Cam 3 inch has proven itself as a reliable and feature-packed dash cam system. Its impressive video quality, user-friendly interface, and useful features like loop recording, G-sensor, and parking mode make it an essential addition to any vehicle. Whether you're a frequent road tripper or just looking to enhance your driving safety, this dash cam is a wise investment that I wholeheartedly recommend.

It's important to know what you're getting when you purchase products like these. I was initially looking at getting a 4K -resolution camera set but I just can't justify spending thrice the amount. For this price-point, standard 1080p works just fine. I know a lot of other reviewers complain about the resolution, and there's a few questions about being able to read license plates. However, please know what you're getting. Every dash cam, despite the price, will provide you with a pin-hole -sized camera feeding images to a crop-sensor. Put your cellphone on a mount and face it out the window. This is essentially the idea. The reason for many unreadable license plate complaints is not the camera's resolution nor the sensor; people expect these to automatically adjust to distances to pick up images both near-and-far, like a human eye. These are cameras just don't have the ocular ability to adjust like the way people want these to. Sure, that'll be great, but try covering one eye and with your open eye, judge distance. It's impossible; both are needed to do so, which is why there are so many complaints about dash cameras in this way. At night, expect every headlight to blind-out the camera...again, the same principle of having someone flash their flashlight at your cellphone. It just doesn't have any type of lens or covering that would cover the camera's lens to block this out. No filter on the lens, though I'm sure if you really wanted, you can apply some blue-tape or maaaaybe even tint the lens to reduce this. I do like the G-sensor which will turn the camera on and record for 30-seconds (adjustable) if the camera senses the car vibrate. It'll do this everytime the car is off and you get inside -- you'll hear it turn on and record, then shut itself off (internal battery, 1.5 amps. It charges once your car is on). It saves to a 32gb Class 10 (minimum) that you have to provide. I made the mistake of thinking it came with one, so please don't forget that. You receive a great deal of cabling for the rear camera. I've mounted my rear camera right next to the factory back-up camera on my car and still had about two feet of extra cable length for my 2015 Toyota Corolla. The suction cup mount for the front-facing camera is good...not as good as say Schosche (if you've ever used one of their suction-cup mounts, you'll know), but it's stayed on my windshield even in the hot SoCal sun with no issues. It's a great dash camera system for the price, and honestly, if you're looking at this particular one, you're already on the fence about the 4K cameras. Save your money. Use the difference to buy the memory card. 4K v. 1080p is noticeable on a 75" tv, not on a 3" screen.

Muy buena camara ,por eso me decidi a comprar otra mas

TL;DR, I would happily recommend this dash cam!! I've been using it for just over a year now and I'm still very happy with it. The power cord did stop working about a month ago, but I contacted the sellers and they were incredibly responsive and willing to help. I received a brand new power cord within a couple of weeks - tracked & free of charge. Amazing customer service; I would recommend this product for this experience alone. As far as the camera itself goes, I'd say it's good value for money. It was pretty easy to set up; I have it so the rear camera is inside my car taped to the top of the rear windscreen (I couldn't connect it to my brake lights like this, so I can't use the parking function...but I don't really care about that since I can use the rear camera to look behind me anyway). The mount for the camera has only fallen from my front windscreen once in my entire time using it, plus I don't find it to block my vision while driving. Additionally, the wires are plenty long enough to allow you to run them along the sides of your car and have them not be stretched out or in the way (for reference, I have a Peugeot 206 and I still had several arm lengths of wire left after setting up the rear camera). The menu is fairly simple to navigate. The video and audio quality isn't particularly great, but it does the job just fine. I do find that, at night, bright headlights close behind me completely whites out the image, but I'll take that over having the camera outside the car as intended. The image is fine if cars are the correct distance away from you and the glass is clean. I have the recording set to loop every 2 minutes and I found that, with a 32GB micro SD card (which doesn't come with the camera), I can store roughly and hour and a half's worth of clips at once. I now have a hilarious/scarily large collection of clips showing the bad drivers I've come across while recording that I can laugh/cringe at. Having a dash cam brought my car insurance down a little as well. Would 100% recommend.

Jätte bra produkt.

Scrivo questa recensione a distanza di vari mesi dall'acquisto, un modo da aver avuto il tempo di testarla per bene: mi sono trovato benissimo! È piccola e si attacca al vetro tramite una ventosa molto forte e resistente. Le immagini sono chiare e si vedono perfettamente anche al buio (con gli infrarossi si vede molto bene). Salva i video su una scheda sd e li sovrascrive ai più vecchi in automatico. Solo la telecamera posteriore è stata più complessa da installare (lo ha fatto un elettrauto perchè da solo non ci sarei mai riuscito). È comunque un ottimo prodotto ad un buon prezzo 🔝🔝🔝

Mejor de lo que esperaba
