I dont know why people need such good quality. The whole purpose is to have a video of an object hitting you or cutting you off
Do you want to capture the number plate of the guy that side swiped you and drove off or not?
@@janrdoh But the video footage shows the number plate of other cars.
Even the lowest resolution is crisp
@@cdevidal lol what
the issue is reliability, something like that will not hold up for long and will most likely not capture video when u need it
Great review.
At least somebody shows a cam in action in various mods instead of smart talking with just one preview.
Thank you.
Thanks for the support!! :)
Shut up. Your comments are the same, dickhead
I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

Good video, straight to the point, no waffle that so many reviewers seem to love. Straight on with showing the results when actually in the car. Good one, Ryan. Thanks. Tony in the UK
Thanks for the support Tony :)
Probably the best unboxing video I have ever seen. Very useful to show every menu option. Also, the other stuff you covered was interesting as well. Looks like you left nothing out. I came here, because I have a similarly looking model, but without IR LEDs and wanted to see if this cam is any good at night. Mine costs 12 times as much as this pile of junk and now I know why lol
Thanks for the feedback, Xiaopang
You overpaid and got fucked
well... for 11 bucks on ebay this thing makes me feel safe on the road.
You have to drive carefully to be safe. A dash cam will not save your life ! lol
Atleast he's safe from insurance frauds
$10 to save yourself from thousands of dollars in insurance frauds? Worth it!
i can offer in lower rate
I bought one of those for my utility truck that I use once a week, at most. It does the job. For A$16, it is pretty good. Good enough for "just in case"
FOR $10 I MEAN....... It's really good for $10. If you're unsure about having a dashcam to begin with I think this is a great start.
People who complain about this camera, are the people that book a 3 star resort, and expect 5 star service. $10!!
newgsxr1000 We're. Of complaining about that, it is the fact that this stupid thing isn't even fit for purpose with its crap video quality.
I mean it shouldn't exist. This thing is like a 1 dollar hotel inside of a leaky toilet that hasn't been cleaned since god was a boy.
Surely, it's only 1 dollar a night, but it shouldn't exist in the first place.
Mine is fine and I am 47 not 27 and know all the great technically we have miraculously got to since the internet has been out and I don't complain about the little things.i bet if he hits my truck I will have my witness and it only cost 10 bucks it's all I need.
I got the same one for about $10 on some auction app. I've been using it for a couple days. I've been comparing different dash cams, and kind of shocked that it is as good as it is for $10. I honestly didn't expect for it to even turn on.
What app?
Nice trip around Moseley high St and Stirchley!!!
Thanks for adding this video. I recently purchased a slightly updated version of the same dashcam for €29.94 👍🏾
Thank you Michael!
Very nice unboxing! Just bought a 2 pack of these, after tax and shipping it was $37, found promo codes and knocked that down to $24!! Cost of both cameras no tax or shipping
Great review, thanks for the video.
Great video.I have been using one of these for several years and it is as good as your video shows.I paid about £10 of ebay.
Can't fault it thanks for doing the demo.
Thanks :)
Great review & tutorial, thanks!
can we use it as webcam?
hitting vid on repeat for that nice music
Just purchased this online for 199 rand excluding shipping ... I like what I see in the review. Thanks for this
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I just have this one few days ago. God bless 🙏
V. helpful - thanks!
I just got one today for $23 Cdn. at Sayal Electronics...playing around with the settings...good vid!
The footage of London made me nostalgic, but the camera, eh :-) Thanks for the review!
I have one. I realized you really had to depress the micro SD card in all the way, so it would click and stay. Then really push down on it once, to release the SD card. Not a bad little camera for $10. bucks. Even has infra-red.
Great video! Just picked one up at a thrift store. It's reading no SD card however and I have inserted an SD card. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi! Congratulations on the video! I bought the same camera and now I can't use it, when I turn on it only shows the startup screen with the image of the globe. I've already reset and it doesn't work. Do you know any alternative to fix this problem?
4:46 moseley in birmingham 🙂
Looks like something I could use to get those retro vibes from old touge drifting in japan lol
I just bought one for $5 U.S. at Walmart on clearance. Gonna use it until I get a quality one.
Great review. Subscribed
Thank you!! :)
Thanks for posting.
Thanks, Rons!
Hard reset... Thank You!!
I just got the same one from wish for $6 thats including shipping everything was in the box and it works as it should yes its cheap but it works
Got one for my husband for Xmas looks good
I just picked up that same camera sold under the Scosche brand name. I got it at Walmart in the US on clearance for $15. The firmware on yours is nicer with more options. The video on mine at 720P looks like your QVGA. I can't read a license plate unless I'm stopped right behind the car in front of me. I'd say you got a good deal.
Do you have a web address that lists firmware? I'd like to try your firmware on my camera.
I have been using two of them in my car (front and rear) . the problem you had with 1sec lost footage is due to you using poor quality SD card. You must use cards with high speed recording , preferably number 10 .
I love the 1980s filter style.
Video etc was interesting but the Aston dashcam FDH 1080P I have has the very small operating keys on the left & right side on the back instead of, as the one illustrated, on the bottom. Any decent suggestions or could you possibly please send me the corresponding details on mine? Thank you.
Wal-Marts in the states sell the exact same thing, only difference is the box. The Wal-Mart version starts out at around $20.00, and goes as high as around $25.00-$30.00. So I would say that it's a pretty fair price for an item like this one, being sold in a brick and mortar store.
What sd should you use? I tried a micro sd but it just went in and I had to get tweezers to get it out!
hi, I also bought an object car camera, how did you set the camera in the settings so that it only turns on when you start the car and when you stop the car, the camera turns off because it always stays on and I think it's consuming my car battery, no ??
Instructions say charge for 30 before first initial use. I got the same thing and it works fine. It's by onn. $20 plus tax. Night time cant seem to pick stuff up.
Cheap dash cam saved me twice in minor accidents total damage were $4600. Having a cheap dash cam while in an accident better than not having one at all. $20 I paid for mine worth every cents.
My first dashcam. £7.50 off eBay, £7.50 for a 32gb card from 7dayshop. I still have it, and for £15 it been reliable.
Thanks for showing this video at night, most people
only show it in the day time.
It's not that bad at night I thought it would be worse.
This camera is less than $8.00 on ebay as of 2-6-19
Is a good camera, certainly worth it for price of Starbucks tall latté and dessert.
Well said, Cindy! 🍰
There is a flash symbol with a line thru it. What does that meam and i cant change it.
It alsi doesnt come with a micro card! How was yours recording
Are those LEDs in the front supposed to lite? If they are I couldn't find how..at night is useless
ramdom question, and a need for advice, have the same camera (x2) have brought brand new SD cards for them today, neither one of the cameras are registering the cards, when putting the cards in to a computer they both come up so they cant both be faulty... got any ideas how to make the cameras register the SD cards...??
Did you use your computer to “format” the new cards? If not, lots of equipment won’t recognize the MicroSD cards at all.
EazzzzzZzzy. Driving through Birmingham.
best review ever
i bought one
how is the parking mode. or motion dedection works
To me it is like the paper records they use to have in a cereal box. Excited, then it don't work...lol
Paper records? Were they made from the actual cereal box or a separate pack in? I’ve never seen one in the states but that idea is crazy clever! Maybe just a Euro thing? :)
Got one of these a while ago and after a week the screen went all funny.git a much better one now
How can I delete the every day data so I can record every day.? Thanks.
what a great video ! nice...
Thanks!!! :)
I have one of the dash Camera from China that the screen will not turn back on the on light is working but trying the function Buttons does nothing any suggestion would help
Can you watch videos on cellphone? Can you playback on dashcam?
hello @ 2.45 can the time for recording be changed so it DOSEN'T record in 5 min files ??? i will be doing a 3 hour drive an want to record the whole trip in ONE FILE NOT 30 5 MIN FILES , thank you for your help
I brought same but I have probelem to use it.hiw to check recording plz tell me
Can I use from this cam for webcam ? Means I get online video by HDMI or USB?
Hi how are you? How did you do to full reset? I am from argentina sorry my bad english
Yours works a lot better than mine. With mine the image is not that good and it's glitchy. Also, they won't hold charge even after charging for hours.
How did you get it to record to the card???
This is a very good video, no fake promotion. Everything considered this is a very basic camera with poor performance especially in low light conditions. But what do you expect when you pay the cost of a delivered pizza! for this tech. Might be better to pay a bit more for better results.
Does this dash cam show back of car and front of car images/videos?
How do u alter the road ahead as my camera isn't allowing me to zoom out
Did you just hear that? The Radio announced that an accident or Sutton just happened on Sutton rd. Total mind blower dude! 🤯 Wow! That’s really Sutton else...
Hahaha :D
I have a camera that is the exact same on the outside but seems to be using a different program. The menus are different and none of the buttons are actually "OK" or "select," meaning I can't change any option. I've been using the product for about 9 months now. Night vision is horrendous and menus are inoperable using the 8 buttons (I can move up and down the options but not select or change anything). The plastic screen and casing are warped from the sun. The upper middle section of the screen has come off the rest of the device. I've cleaned the camera lens and my windshield but the glare is still very bad in night conditions. It is possible to get perfectly functional videos from this device but they are grainy/blurry and only acceptably smooth.
I've taken my 32 GB SanDisk card from the device and watched 3x speed videos with desynced audio, though this issue might only be my computer and the windows 10 player software I'm using. I'm using a USB cable and Power Media Player now, however, and the videos are synced with the audio. The audio quality of this device is surprisingly high and I think this thing is well worth the $10 this person paid for this. The videos are in .avi format (I don't get a choice since I haven't figured out any way to change any options) and I can currently watch 332 videos on the aforementioned card. The most I would pay for this shamcorder is $25.
I successfully used footage from this camera to prove I was not at fault for a collision on an interstate and I rate this product 5/10. It gets the job done, though only just. Difficult to use! Had the camera fly off the mount the first weeks I used this camera, but another problem with the mount is the fastening ring - it becomes brittle from the sun and will snap if left stressed inside a hot car.
TL;DR: Carcam corder FHD 1080P may be used to prove innocence in a car collision; however, this product would be best for an area cooler than hot, sunny southern California. Video quality is acceptable except for at night, where any light source produces a lot of glare.
How to activate the screen saver option? My cam kept recording all night long… car battery died. Why if dash cam goes off, it doesn’t turn back on when I start the car?
Hi. For the night footage, did you have your night mode switched on?
Not really. It makes no difference :)
Ryaniwk okay thank you!
Hey just wondering how do I play the AVI files on SD card,it won’t allow me to play them on my laptop thanks
What is the max. recording time on 1080p?
Bought two for 7.98 each for a test run. The video is good enough to prove who is at fault and identify the people and vehicles.
You don't need a Hollywood production for a dash cam that will fry and die in the sun in less than a year and sometimes 16 days. My $59 lasted 16 days. Wonder if you can adjust the exposure as it looked a little dark to me?
You can adjust the exposure :)
$59 dollars is fuck all for a dashcam and you probably bought some cheap unbranded Chinese one which is probably why it lasted for 16 days.
If you want quality and something that lasts, go for a Yi or Xioami dashcam.
Those costs $75 bucks and lasted 2 summers being baked in the sun and still going strong.
got one, mounted it on top of an airpistol, added an IR torch....hey presto night sight
Interesuje me ova kamerica. Gde se moze poruciti i cena. Poz
I tried this but not very good video, this is far better than what I got.
Great review💪i have one perfect! Paid 20€🤔🤐
Mine always just says “damaged file” when trying to load videos on the dashcam and videos seem to just be corrupted when plugged into PC, first video after a format always works fine though
I have the same dash cam but would you know why mine was overexposed/too bright? It was set to 1080p. Thanks!
Hi Karl, have you tried to change the exposure? (EV menu)
Thanks for the tutorial, if you hadnt shown the part about using a sharp object to push the tiny little button, i would have broken that cam in anger.
Only to regret it afterwards.
I will try and order one, because people in traffic are crazy, and have their own rules.
Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍👍👍
What abt motion detection & parking mode ...could u pls check & make a video on it....I mean through glass it can detect movement pls🙏
These cameras detect motion by analysing the video image. If it can see through the glass, it will detect motion.
The video quality is atrocious. You couldn't read the numberplate of the car in front of you in the video until you were right up to it. I think I'll pass on this one.
Very useful review. Thanks. You've saved me from wasting my money.
Decided to invest towards a cheap Chinese knock off dash cam. the point for me is to catch drivers in the act if they hit me. Just grab their licence plate, if something happens. No point in investing $150 for true HD quality, even some still can't give good quality at night. (also depends in how bright your headlights are)
Furistic Shadow nice video was watching and thinking these roads look familiar then I noticed it's my old home Mosley Birmingham lol
I own this dash cam. My ex and I both bought my son a dash cam for Christmas. I bought him one recommended by Car and Driver. My ex bought him this. 🙄 My son chose to keep the one I bought him and he passed this off to me. Yes, the video quality is atrocious. I can’t make out plate numbers night or day on mine. Maybe it’s the card I’m using? As you said, you get what you paid for.
Furistic Shadow mate, anything that is not fit for purpose is a waste of money, like even a $400 dollar dashcam would be a better buy than this piece of shit.
Unless if the beer also taste like crap, then it's still a better buy than a camera off a 2000s webcam.
While it is better than nothing, you'd be much better off using a 30$ one instead, a much better investment. This could work as an inexpensive rear dash cam though, I'm considering getting one for that purpose myself
i dont have the same manu and i cant find the rec buton. Can you help me?
On motion detect can write with the screen off?? Build in battery??
The internal battery only last for a couple of minutes….
Prompt &power shortage then it will shut down?(why)?
can you charge this in the wall if I use the wire from my kindle? I have this but the directions how to use it are so tiny I cannot read it. Do you know where I can get the directions that are readable?
Hi. You will need to have it pluged in your car when you used it as the battery wont last long. I don’t know if it helps, but I ‘ve shown the directions at minute 1:20 in the video.
you say its on 1080p but the readout you put up shows clearly 1280x960 with a 420p pixel format so is that your fault or the cameras?
Hi. That was 1080p selected, hence why I mentioned 1080p :)
Excellent review of the cheapest dashcam! Good job! I don't recommend to buy it.
Thank you Dmitriy!
footage at end is Mosley-b'ham uk - what are the odds of the 1 video i click for a review and its local footage :D
😎
If you see a red Ferrari 488 GTB passing by... well it's not me. I'm 1M subscribers short 😂
Working on that tho 👍 Thanks for the support!
im trying to understand how to delete the old video... my pc cant recognize the cam. can you help?
Put the ad card in your phone or into your pc and manage the files like that.
thanks!
Turn that camera off bro your driving on the wrong side of the road!! LOL.. Gotta luv the Brits.I guess they did have roads before us.
hahahah
We drive on the left too in Australia. I think if I tried in the US I would cause so many accidents lol
I am gonna use this for diy night vision
i found it listed as "XCSource Car Camera G30", so i guess the model is "G30". right??
can I use any sd cards for this camera?
How do you turn on night vision mode?
I have a question. Mine worked ok but from about 4 days ago, it turned on and then it just showed a car logo, but it never records. Do you have any idea on what can it be?
Try a reset, Luis
wasn't it supposed to work in infrared night???? i tried but leds don't work =( does anyone have a tip?
How do I turn the lock video feature off? I pressed it once and now every single video get locked and it has filled the 32gb card :( please help
Anyway to fix the white screen problem?
Do you have Laryngitis? 🤔
