Can you watch it on your phone if you stay home? Can you lock it so no one can change the settings?
Can you lock it so no one can change the settings? Can I watch it on my phone if I stay at home????
Bro this video is much appreciated thanks for the real footage 🙏🏾🙏🏾
cheers !
Not bad, i like it. Probably get it when my other dashcam fail
If you've got any questions I'll do my best to answer them! Cheers
Can I watch it on my phone if I stay home? And can I lock the settings so nobody can change it? And if someone steals it can I have the location how is that going to be protected????
Thank you for the video. How did you run the line for the rear camera? Also, where does the red wire go?
Thank you for your comment! Normally the wire for the rear camera should be tucked inside the seams of your car's upholstery (the ceiling edges). For the review purposes I did not tuck it in. Also, the red wire is if you want to use the rear camera as a parking assist. It will show up on your car's display panel (LCD/LED display). I have not done this for the review. If you want to connect it, it will require some technical expertise and most people will just get it done at a car center that installs dash cams. You'd have to remove the main console of your car, find the harness, and usually there will be a connection marked "reverse" and that's where you'd connect the red wire.
Great Review! I was thinking about purchaing the same one and luckily found your review.
Could you check on if there's any menu or option for screen off.
During the night ride, probably the lighting screen may irritate driver's front view.
Thank you for your advice in advance.
Yes, the screen goes black in screen saver mode.
The usb is an old style usb that I'm familiar with. I can actually plug the camera to a phone charger if im away from the vehicle as a quick solution until i get a female cigarette plug receptacle for a lithium battery setup. I can hook up a phone to access the wifi features when I'm gone.
I have been looking for 4-channel for awhile. Wanted the sideview just in case I pull out and the other driver doesn't have their headlights on. I see this so much nowadays. Thanks
Yes, it's very convenient to cover any angle you want with a 4 ch dashcam!
Thanks for the video on this camera! Your review is the only one I found that showed actual video samples from the camera. I was looking for such a camera. Unfortunately, the video quality is pretty poor by today's standards. I think it is because they are putting all four cameras on the single video feed. 1080p * 4 = 4K. Since they only have 4K to work with, there is really no other way to do it. Do you know of any other dashcams that have four views, with a separate feed recording for each view, each 4K in quality? Thanks again!
You can try RexingUSA R4-4 channel dash cam which is 1080p all around. Thank you for your comment.
Alat yg canggih
I can't use the mount, because it puts the side angels too low. So i mount it to the from window using the 3m..
It's more a security camera than an actual dash cam. I use it to cover the doors of my truck cab area. I will invest in another camera for capturing license plates, which this one doesn't do as well.
I am using these for patrol cars and also BMW Police Motorcycle R1200 RT P, so in both cases they have to be mounted upside down (on dashboard) as in California you can get a ticket for sticking anything on your windshield. I am still experimenting but I wanted to know for recording purposes, does the rear camera need to be with the mount above or below the camera? or does the device know what it's position is? I know the other cameras self adjust.
Good question. If I remember correctly when I set mine up, it didn't self-adjust so if you didn't place the camera properly, you may be recording it upside down so best to check in your display screen that it is right side up before sealing it in place.
How do you like your camera?? Any update you can share???🙏🙏
Good review. Does the car battery will have a problem if the camera continuously gets used even when the car is off
Thank you! In general, all car batteries when parked (off) and using dash cams to power it will always be under more usage than car batteries that don't have a dash cam. While it is very negligible, like any battery, the more you use it the faster it will wear out and have to be replaced but it's so negligible that it's not something to worry about.
The bigger issue is if you accident drain your car battery so much that you have hard time starting the car because there isn't enough battery power left. Fortunately, all new dash cams have a cut off limiter. It will stop using the car battery once it reaches a certain voltage level so that it will not fully drain the car battery making you unable to start the car.
Does this camera have constant recording available. So that it can be recording BEFORE something happens
Yes it will constantly record as long as your car battery has power.
You said that: "(This Model comes with a 256gB SD Card)" however, ALL of the Photos on it, show only 128gB SD Card. However, I do see where you are install in a 256gB SD Card, so looks like you are correct.
Thank you for pointing that out! Yes, some of the listings will come with a 128 gb card, but my order came with a 256 gb card as I showed in the video. There are different versions that may or may not include a 128, 256 or no card. In any case, they are relatively inexpensive and need not be a concern. Good eye though! You are very attentive!
I wish you showed more video of license plates to see if they could be read, especially at night.
Good point. Yes, I would say the ability to read LPs is moderate. It's not your high end 4K quality that would cost $300 or more for those dash cams. In this price range of around $100-$200, you'll be getting moderate quality to read LPs. Good enough but depends on how high your expectations are.
how long is the cable for the rear camera, I want to install in a large van
My apologies, the 10m (33ft) is a longer version sold separately. The one that comes in the box is shorter about 5m but let me double check that for you. *EDIT* the rear camera wire length that comes in the box is 6m (20 ft). If you want the 10m (33ft) longer one, you can purchase it here: amzn.to/4aLMOHP
@@breakaway2x thanks so much for the information, I appreciate you provided the edit
thanks for this video.. but I have 2 questions.. 1. how can I change the wifi password? (bcs the camera have a really easy one) 2. how can I see the camera from phone or remote.. i need an app or something maybe?
Yes you can find it here at this link: pruveeo.com/pages/app
and the wifi password can be changed inside the settings.
How to install in vehicle?
Does it auto transfer videos when connected to home wifi to backup cloud?
It does not auto transfer to cloud AFAIK. You need to download/transfer it. As for installation, it's very simple: just affix it anywhere on your windshield and plug into the 12v socket (cigarette lighter). If you want to hardwire it to the car battery, then I'd recommend you get a shop to do that for you. To do it yourself it requires a bit of car knowledge such as this tutorial: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/hardwiring-fusebox
How do you exit from the menu. I have to unplug mine and restart the cam so to exit. Mine does not auto record how do I turn it on so it can start record. Thanks
You should be able to exit from the menu by pressing the menu button again. Out of the box it is set to auto start record as soon as it is powered on. If it doesn't do this anymore, it must mean the setting was changed. You can go into settings and set it to record on startup.
Question please, what does the gps function do?
I believe when you use the downloadable app, it allows you to track where you are or have been in maps. It should also record your coordinates, date, time, speed traveled etc., but I haven't tried it so I could be incorrect.
what;s your thought on this vs. Vantrue N5 4 channel?
Thanks for asking. Vantrue N5 4 Channel dash cam is about $200 more. It does boast slightly better specs at 2.7K front and voice control mode, so if you think you can spend the extra money to get the better Vantrue N5 model then it's a fine choice. The Pruveeo D90 4CH is a more cost-friendly mid-level range dash cam. A nice compromise between value/price and quality. Cheers!
How do I hard reset this dashcam? Got a blank screen issue on startup.
you'll need to follow these steps:
1) download the firmware update here: drive.google.com/file/d/16DYxnSVgUh2_URXrbVbm5U6GAQ52SNLu/view?usp=drive_link
2) Please format the TF card by dash cam menu. It is very important!!
3) Going back to your vehicle and turn off the dash camera. Insert TF card into the slot of the dash camera.
Connect dash camera to the power。
4) The light is blinking during the upgrading.
After upgrading finished, turn off the dash camera.
5) Pull out the TF card from dash camera and format the TF card by computer to avoid upgrading again.
Notice: During upgrading, do not disconnect the power to the dash camera.
Cheers!
Can you do the hard wire it?
Thanks for asking! I do not have the hardwire kit as I only intended to keep it for review with the included 12v charger.
How can I watch videos on mobile. Which application?
if you have the dash cam manual, it will give you a QR code to scan to download the app. You'll find it in the user manual.
Why front and rear cameras don't have Infrared light but both side cameras do?
Good question. The reason is because the front and rear cameras are facing traffic where there is light. A car coming behind you would have it's light flashing at the rear camera directly so it wouldn't work in most cases. In the front your own headlights provide lighting so infrared would not be useful unless you drive around without your headlights on. The side cameras are meant to turn inwards (inside car) where there is no light unless you drive with your indoor car lights on all the time. So that is why the side cameras use infrared because you are directing in spots that don't have it's own light source.
Q/ how long will save videos 24hrs or less?
it will depend on the size of your memory card. You can choose to loop record which means it will record over the oldest video once the memory card is full. The bigger the memory card the longer it can hold your videos (maybe 4-5 days or up to 7-10 days depending again on how much you drive and size of memory card).
when down loading video is there an option to have all 4 views on 1
the actual video files are individual separate files. I think you are asking if you can download a single video that shows all 4 videos in one? That won't be possible. You can only view all 4 videos in split screen mode on the dash cam while driving.
How do I view footage on phone also how do I erase sd card
You'll need to download and install the app for the phone. It is in the manual and QR code. To erase the card, you can do a format from the dash cam or the longer way which is to remove the memory card and put it in your PC with a card adapter and format it but best to format in the dash cam because it conditions it to be ready for use. If you format it in PC, the dash cam may still ask you to format it again in the dashcam.
@@breakaway2x Thx I did the format but how about viewing on phone the previous rexing I had was similar to this camera & I could pull up video right in app
how about when the car is off?
When the car is, the camera power off as well (meaning no recording) but the g sensor (if activated) will be on standby. If something hits the car, it will trigger the g-sensor and turn the camera on to begin recording. If you want it to record while your car is off, you need to have it hardwired to your car battery which can also be done if you know how to do it yourself or easily get it done at any car shop that services dash cams.
Thank YOU, this was a Great Video & Audio in Perfect English. I gave you a Thumbs UP. About the only small error that I could detect was when you said; “(You can Film….)” at 3:16. This Dash Cam does NOT use Film, it uses a Digital Memory, you knew that, but that’s OK, I knew what you meant. Thank you again for publishing this Great Video; because of it, I am going to Order one of these for myself.
The color looks really bad on those two side cameras. Almost like black and white. I wonder if it due to infrared lights on the camera.
Good point. I noticed that as well. I believe it may have had something to do with infrared during the day time. In certain shadows, the color seems to come back but in bright sun light I noticed it looked b/w as well.
Is there an option to turn the audio off
do you mean to turn off audio recording or turn off volume / mute on playback? There should be the options in the settings.
@@breakaway2x like turn the audio off while it's recording in general
You forgot the important one .what about the option parking monitor? u did not mention about it.this is very important my friend.YOU must say sorry the Engineer who design this.
Like all dash cameras, if you don't hardwire it directly to the car battery, then you won't have a constant power source to run it while parked. If you only use the 12V socket, when your car is parked and turned off, the camera will shut off, but activate if it detects an impact. You can purchase the Pruveeo ACC hardwire kit with low-voltage protection feature.
Is it me. or the video clarity is not that great on this video.
it's the youtube compression. The video has been compressed 2 times (first by me when I rendered it, then by youtube after uploading, they compress it again).
what about the parking feature? You didn't test it! You had one job...
Couldn't test everything. Maybe you should do a good deed and contribute something in life for once? :)
@@breakaway2x interesting that you assume I don't.
You clowned that fool😂😂😂
They chose not to at least put a USB-C…. Lame
for what purpose? It only needs to draw power from the car so mini usb 5 pin is perfectly fine. You can also use a cheap $1 usb-c adapter if you want usb-c for power.
@@breakaway2x why get a car when you can get a bike argument I see. Well, since the obvious isn’t… obvious, it provides more end user options as it’s modern, a more secure plug, better data and power transfer. You keep your bike, user preference.
Those side cameras just look terrible. I guess it's better than nothing if you want to use them to capture your side windows, or maybe leave one capturing the interior, but the color is really washed out.
yes they are infrared activated so during the day they might be activated infrared so the footage will be discolored compared to the non infrared lens.
Why does the camera quality look like shit dang I just ordered this today. My old dash cam from 9 years ago has better quality than this looks,but not enough features 🤦🏾♀️
Mine looks fine. Maybe you got a defective one.
I can't get sound when I replay video.
Did you check to see if your volume is on? If you don't have any audio from the video files when viewed on the PC, it could mean either you setting set to "mute" so please check for that. Last possibility is the unit could be defective if no audio is being captured. You can contact them via their support contact from the user manual.
Volume was on , no sound
