Survives Texas heat, ocean humidity; hatchback friendly; form fits to any size motor vehicle!
The camera, recording/viewing device, and cables was very fairly easy to setup. The suction cup system was much better and holds better than most glass-clinging suction cups due to the device locking the suction cup to the glass.Even in the incredible heat of East Texas and Southern Texas, whether with a reflecting sun screen behind it (normal suction cups with any weight at all pulling on them fail quickly and irrevocably), but surprisingly and amazingly, this has survived a week+ of upper 90s to low 100s (in degrees Fahrenheit) in the sweltering salty, humid, and dense pockets of Galveston (less than 2 football fields away from the ocean) as well as late spring to current summer of Central & East Texas. We've only had to adjust the windshield suction cup once, likely due to being bumped pretty harshly and undoing the suction-lock when putting up the sun reflector shield - taking a mere moment to replace it back to the windshield and clasping the suction-lock back in place.The cables fit neatly and snugly between the window lining of the car. The power cable fit easily down the internal lining of our vehicle's glove compartment so that nothing can tank on the power cable going to the dc power receptacle.The camera in the back is tiny . Smaller than the back window cleaning fluid distributor and wiper motor, and we've had absolutely no problem with it blocking rear view via the central rear view mirror. We have a hatch back, so we tucked the wire into the window's lining without trouble. And ran it along the roof to avoid sagging cables. If you provide a couple inches of lead space to your cable (side closest to the camera) before tucking the cable in, it will show you space to adjust the camera placement when needed and also avoid a sagging or clipped wire when opening your hatch-back. If you have a trunk, instead, and this the window doesn't move, you can tick the cable into the floor lining, instead, if desirable.We lost the tool that came with the device for lifting the lining for tucking in the 2 cables into their hiding place (1 to power from device and 1 longer one to connect the camera in the back to the powered device), but I just used a gentle rubber wrapped needle-nose pliers in my multi-tool where necessary and a lifting stick (similarly shaped stick that came with the device) that came with my laptop/console/phone kit (the type that comes with all the different screw bit heads for taking apart devices with weird screw head shapes & sizes)The quality of the camera is stellar, there's options for backing up to your phone and accessing the irons and data from your phone directly. It will run for a short stint after parking and depowering the vehicle, as well as when power is provided before starting your car (the latter is related to how your vehicle powers it's individual dc power recepticles. It runs on a firm of USB, so you could replace the cable and plug into your USB power outlet if desired.Just make sure that you are not plugged into a receptacle that powers 24/7 because you'll drain your battery over time.All in all, this was a great purchase! Between the immense ease of hookup/installation, quality of video capture, direct access thru the recording device OR thru an app on the phone (we both run android, so i can only speak for the app as found on the Google Play Store), quick initiation once installed, customizable wire placement, quality suction-locking tech, it works & hangs in there even in the intense heat of the sun in Texas in spite of the humidity (or lack thereof in other parts of Texas) as if it came as a de facto feature with the car from factory, and that it works whether used on a small car window, small car with hatchback window, large van, or large van with hatchback window just makes for a playable surprising product that provides me with the comfort of mind knowing it's there watching my back in the event something happens. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would do so without question!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^TLDR;Great product; does what it is made to do and does so well; easy installation; high quality photo and video capture; designed with intent, quality, functionality, & design in mind; ONLY has what you NEED - INSTEAD OF useless bells and whistles you'll never need; designed to combat strong temperature swings, blistering hot & sunny summer days (even in Texas); works with cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans - agnostic to whether it comes with a hatchback, trunk, or plain window; form fitting and sleek, yet strong & rugged where it counts!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Great product and thanks for bringing it to market. 😀 👍

Company support is excellent. My front cam audio was bad
Update: changing from 2 stars to 5. After posting my original comment complaining about the audio quality, they reached out to me and fixed the situation, like, within just a day or two. I didn’t ask them to. They initiated it. They didnt ask for anything in return. They just fixed it, with apologies for my experience. Very cool company, and they stand behind their stuff. I had to come back and change this to let people know, if by chance you get a one off unit with sub par audio, they’ll get the situation fixed for you, no questions asked. High marks there!Original review: Decent video. I’m happy there. But the audio off the front camera is terrible. It’s tinny and garbled at the same time, like mermaids talking underwater through tuning forks. The audio off the back camera (I was shocked to discover audio on the rear camera files), is good. It’s quiet, because my car is an SUV and the camera is all the way in the back, so it can’t really pick up passengers talking well, but at least you can crank up the volume to max and sorta hear audio even though it’s like whispering. And that makes sense. It’s a good microphone, it’s just far away. But the front camera, right next to passengers, is terrible. Distorted overdriven, tinny and garbled. I had a different dashcam in the exact same place that I replaced with this unit (I needed front and rear cams, my last one only had front cam). I’m seriously debating running my old dashcam too just to have decent audio recording, while running this front cam on the window next to it (it is cleaner video than my old one). I count on the audio recording part to capture me saying license plate numbers or recording things a cop says or witness statements at a crash. The audio on this is not up to the job. But it seems like I got an anomaly. Like I said, the rear camera audio is great, it’s just too far away.

Worth it!
Excellent clarity and easy install. Very discreet so it doesnt block view while driving. Took a little bit to figure out functions and how to connect through app but now I really only use app if wanting to sync to save/download a video to my phone. Great product for good price.

Super satisfied!
Super easy to install, the tools provided allowed me to tuck the cord in super easily, I drive a ford fusion and I was able to wire the rear cord perfectly. App interface is super easy to use once to get adjusted, and the suction holds super well even in hot weather.

Small, yet has what is needed to get the job done.
I've had several dashcams, but none were as easy to operate as this camera. I like the feel of the program buttons and the power connector on the camera is very solid. It is easy to access the recording files, which is a plus. The camera is small, but don't underestimate its size. I highly recommend this camera and it's easy on the budget.

Functionality
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this product because it had great reviews and the price was reasonable. I am very happy. It’s even easy to navigate the menu and the view seems wider than my last dashcam .

Extremely simple to configure
I purchased one some time back and tried it out and I was really impressed so I bought another for my second vehicle and I always suggest it to anyone in need of a dash camera.

Wifi connectivity
Why did you pick this product vs others?:So far so good. I’m not sure if this is how dashcams are, but I really hate that I have to reconnect to the dashcam WiFi after I start my car. Also, when I turn the WiFi on, it’s stuck on that WiFi screen until it turns black. I tried to press other buttons to turn the screen off but I guess it will remain that way until the car shuts off completely. I got this for security against careless and dangerous drivers.
