- 0:00 | Are budget dash cams really worth your money?
I’m not sure but let’s find out! Hi everyone - 0:09 | and welcome back to the channel today we’re
diving into the world of dash cams this is - 0:16 | a dual camera setup that should be perfect
for capturing every detail on the road both - 0:22 | in front of you and behind you this is
a 4K dash cam paired with a 1080p rear - 0:29 | camera promising Crystal Clear footage day
or night whether you’re capturing stunning - 0:36 | Road views or gathering crucial evidence in an
accident this dual camera system should have you - 0:43 | covered this dash cam feels very
solid in hands it has an aluminum - 0:53 | front panel and the rest is constructed
of plastic including the buttons it’s got - 1:00 | 170° wide angle of view a six layer Optical lens
with a 1.8 aperture there’s a 3-in IPS display - 1:11 | and it has built-in Wi-Fi and it comes
with a 64 GB micro SD card pre-installed - 1:30 | in this bag we have the 1080p
rear camera that also comes - 1:35 | with two sticky pads to stick it to your rear
- 1:37 | window we have a plastic prying
tool which is Handy for poking - 1:50 | the wires beneath your trim so they are nicely
- 1:53 | hidden in this bag we have the 12v power cable
that also has an extra USB port to power other - 2:06 | devices the cable is a decent length with a USBC
- 2:16 | connection and this is for mounting
the dash cam to your front window - 2:32 | screen and this little pin
is for resetting the dash - 2:42 | cam so let’s peel this label off turn
it on and we’ll dive into some of its - 2:54 | features first of all I must mention that this
Dash dash cam only runs for 3 to 5 minutes on - 3:03 | its internal battery the internal battery is
really only for saving footage to the micro - 3:09 | SD card when you power off the device so it
must be connected to power at all times and - 3:17 | as you saw the dash cam booted up nice and
fast and it immediately started recording as - 3:23 | soon as I powered it on the camera also starts
recording as soon as you turn your ignition on - 3:36 | so let’s look at some of the settings within this
camera the colors on the 3-in display look really - 3:43 | nice and the text looks lovely and sharp but
unfortunately this isn’t a touchscreen display - 3:51 | so we need to use the buttons at the side of the
device to navigate through its menus which can be - 3:58 | a little frustrating at first because you need
to navigate with the up and down buttons on the - 4:03 | left and then you need to press the okay button
which is on the right this just takes a little - 4:09 | bit of getting used to so in the beep sound
option this is where we turn those clicking - 4:16 | noises off when we’re navigating through its
menus we can set the camera to 50 HZ or 60 - 4:22 | HZ then we have all your language
- 4:31 | options we can set the resolution to 4K 2K or
- 4:42 | 1080p we can set loop recording from one minute
to 3 minutes Loop recording will automatically - 4:58 | overwrite all def files with newer ones when
the device is running out of storage then we - 5:05 | have g sensor which detects sudden changes in
motion during an impact it triggers the dash - 5:11 | cam to protect and safe the relevant footage
so it can’t be overwritten then we have your - 5:17 | parking mode which allows the camera to
record while the car is parked and the - 5:22 | engine is off and then we have a time-lapse
setting which can be changed between 1 FP - 5:29 | s and 5 FPS we can also set the time
lapse duration between 8 hours and 24 - 5:37 | hours in the Wi-Fi section these are the
details you enter when pairing it to your - 5:50 | mobile phone once you’ve downloaded the video app
- 6:02 | then we have a screen saver option so these
are the settings between 1 minute and 5 - 6:09 | minutes and in these settings we can turn
the microphone on or off so if we don’t - 6:21 | want the dash cam to capture any audio then we
just come into these settings and turn it off - 6:29 | what’s really nice is they’ve added an
exposure setting so if the image is too - 6:35 | bright or dark just come into these
settings and reduce or increase the - 6:39 | exposure and to my surprise there’s
an auto white balance option which - 6:47 | is really nice to have on a dash
cam and these are all the settings - 7:08 | and lastly we have an auto power off function
where we can have from 1 minutes to 5 minutes - 7:17 | overall I’m really impressed with the
options that’s available on this dash - 7:21 | cam the picture also looks excellent
when viewing on the back of the display - 7:47 | in the manual you will find a QR code
just scan this with your phone using - 7:53 | your camera and it will directly take
you to the app that you need to download - 8:07 | so just hit install and it
will download straight to your - 8:10 | mobile and now the app has downloaded you
need to enter these Wi-Fi details into your - 8:24 | phone’s Wi-Fi settings to directly connect
to the dash cam itself so I’ll show you this - 8:30 | now once you have connected
to the device’s Wi-Fi just - 8:57 | put in your password and it should connect to the
- 9:00 | app and now you can see all the video
footage from earlier and now we’re all - 9:09 | set up we can quickly download the footage
straight to our phone in the event of an - 9:14 | accident which is a really handy feature
rather than keep taking out the SD card - 9:29 | and this is the little handwave I did
- 9:31 | earlier we can also change some of the
dash cam settings in the application - 9:53 | itself rather than manually doing it on the
dash cam which I thought was a really nice - 10:00 | touch and if we’re running out of
space we can quickly format the SD - 10:16 | card so those were some of the features
and settings within this dash cam let’s - 10:28 | move on to installing it and putting it to the
- 10:31 | test to install the mounting
bracket to the dash cam just - 10:41 | put it into the square socket and slide it across
- 11:17 | and simply find a place on your
window screen and twist to lock - 11:22 | it the rear 1080p dash cams connect
- 11:29 | uses a jack plug just plug this into the top of
the dash cam and run the wire to the back of the - 11:36 | car and now we’re at the back of the car just peel
- 11:53 | off the sticky tab find a suitable
place and stick it to your window - 12:24 | the rear dash cam also pivots up
and down so you can get the right - 12:29 | angle so let’s get out on the road so
you can see what the video quality is - 12:37 | like for this test I’ll be driving to Ramsgate
Harbour I’ll be switching from the front dash - 13:02 | cam to the back dash cam so you can see
the difference in quality both day and - 13:07 | night now you may be able to see a
few lines in the video footage this - 13:20 | is just my dashboard reflecting
up onto my window screen so I’m - 13:24 | really sorry about that just know
it’s not a fault with this camera - 13:38 | when editing this video I was very impressed by
the picture quality of this dash cam it was a - 13:46 | super sunny day and the exposure was set at zero
and it was handling highlights excellently you - 13:54 | can see every single Cloud without the sky being
blown out the image looks nice and sharp and the - 14:02 | colors look very good indeed what’s really great
about 4K resolution is it offers four times the - 14:10 | amount of pixels as full HD providing a level of
detail that is truly remarkable we can zoom in - 14:18 | from a distance and still pick out number plates
if we need to the clarity remains sharp ensuring - 14:25 | that important details are not pixelated I’m
going to let this video play out now without - 14:33 | commenting and you can be the judge of how
good this dash cam looks along Ramsgate Harbor - 18:06 | so now it’s dark we stopped at some traffic
lights there’s a car behind us and as you can - 18:12 | see we can still pick out all the details
from the number plate I’ll now drive back - 18:19 | to Ramsgate Harbor Drive along the pier so
you can see the difference now it’s dark - 21:53 | with these set of shots I got out my car
and I attached the dash cam to a portable - 21:58 | power bank I then paned the harbor in
different resolutions so you can see - 22:04 | the quality without the glass
window screen being in the way - 22:33 | so my final thoughts if you’re in the market for
a high quality dash cam that doesn’t just record - 22:39 | great footage but also makes it incredibly
easy to access and share your videos this - 22:46 | is definitely one to consider the combined
4K front camera and the 1080p rear camera - 22:54 | you get full coverage ensuring that every
moment on the road is captured from both - 22:59 | perspectives it’s like having an extra set
of Eyes giving you peace of mind on every - 23:06 | drive so that’s it for this review if you found
this video helpful please give it a thumbs up - 23:20 | and if you want to see more videos like this one
