I've been on a hunt for a budget, yet good quality dual dash camera that has all the right features. This dashcam has WiFi, GPS, HDR, WDR, 4k resolution all for under $150, but is it a good value!?

Nicely done. Thanks for pointing out the lower frame rate.
If you use 1440p+1080p, it will record at 30fps instead of 4K+1080p @ 24fps
...so how its better to use it with 4K@24fps? or 1440p at 30fps? Just purchased one now and wondering how to set it up. Cheers.
@MrWestcliffe it just captures more frames so potentially you can get a screen grab of a license plate if needed. The F7N is not true "4K" anyways as the image sensor isn't large enough. They just blow up the resolution. That being said, it's a bit of personal preference.
During my time with it, I didn't have any issues.
@@lepoldbuttersstotch thanks. So is it true if I go down to 1080p on the front cam it will do 60fps? I couldn't find any official info on the Redtiger site.
@@MrWestcliffe I don't remember if that's possible. I think the 60fps option gets disabled if you have the rear camera plugged in. Give it a try. I've changed cameras now to a 3 channel one. Good luck.
The secret of have the license plate numbers is just to keep the microphone on all the time and pronounce the license plate number and letters so that way you already have it recorded.
Might need one of those lens which reduce glare. The polarizing kind.
It was so useful! ! thanks for sharing.
Nice video.. is this the best or do you recommend any better one now !.
is the video playback jerky or smooth? when I watch the video here its jerky. thanx
Thank you for the video! Very useful 👌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Really well done video.
Just go one in 2024, it's far better, Back cam not like that one. It is also 360 rotation and can stay inside the vehicle. Problem with outdoors use is they always get covered in crap so no view.
How do you switch to the rear camera?
Thanks. Is there a physical button to lock a video clip in case of emergency?
it’s called a save file 🤦♂️
It lock that file on the memory card and prevent it from auto deleting. Dashcam saves videos in multiple small clips. Space for new clip is made by deleting older clips.
Thanks you. 👍👍👐🙏😇🥰nice video ❤
I heard if you use the rear camera with it, the front camera doesnt do 4k and drops to 1080p
The front camera isnt even capable of 1080p, its 2 options are 2k and 4k, its the rear camera thats only 1080p, and you can use both 2k and 4k options while recording with the rear camera
@@perinthia6829 do you know that from experience? Everything I'm seeing, when you use the rear camera you can't record the front camera using 4k
Hello, good afternoon, thank you for sharing, a question, why does my camera suddenly freeze when I record in 4K and why can't I see the videos on the computer if I remove the card? Finally, how do you upload your video to CZcams? It takes me a long time to even see them in the application on my cell phone? simple curiosities thank you very much
Is your SD card class 10? it looks like a C and will have a little number on the inside of it. Class 10 cards will have the highest bitrate so you’re able to record in higher resolution
@@andrewechang Thank you very much, I will check the card, you are very kind.
Is ADAS available in this dash cam ?
how to install rear camera
Can i use usb type from phone to open this dash cam?
I will choose VIOFO ..
Has anyone done 1080p on this camera to maybe get better frames. That frame rate is pretty bad
@simpleCarGuy - If you had to choose between this dual camera or Thinkware Q1000 - which one would you choose?
thinkware for reliability
@Bob K had my x350 just crap out on me 1 day, I've got a second x350 that's older and still works but quality of the video seems to be grainy and hard to read plates. Going to switch to this
Whats your favorite 4k dashcam thats over $150?
Vantru is very good.
On Amazon
Can I use my own usb charger for the camera instead of the traditional 12v charger???
Sure, why not
Camera is nice but I wish it had a USB plug instead of the car adapter
I just installed mine, rear image looks cleaner/better than the front does when viewing on the app….front looks grainy…factory settings. Also, it won’t save any files to my iPad mini for some reason. Any ideas?
Did you remove the protective film on the front lens? As far as the iPad, did you allow access to photos on the phone?
@@SimpleCarGuy yes, film off. And allowed access.
Can you see inside the cabin
I guess if you turn the camera around
Can we see live streaming of this cam by using tabs....🤔🤔🤔
Ok how do you get red off videos if recoding 24 Hours doesn’t it take allot out of 32 gig can explain how you do it please
It will delete old videos once it’s out of space and keep looking like that. You don’t have to manually delete anything
@@SimpleCarGuy my understanding this dash cam doesn’t not come with memory card is that true …thanks to your response
The app doesn't work
Is there a way to turn off the beeping sound when starting up the camera?
How about if the car is parked and turned off??? Will it still record???
Only if you wire in the hardwire kit. Otherwise, no. It does not have a battery, only a capacitor.
@@SimpleCarGuy Where and how do I get the hardware kit?
@@javiersalas7670Amazon has the hardware kit.
That frame rate just made my decision not to purchase this one
Just an FYI. I’ve seen videos from this camera that look flawless. I think it’s only 24 FPS at 4K, but 120 fps at 1080p.
60 fps in 2K resolution 👍🏻✨️
@@Nightrider6977_Malayali_Driverthanks for this comment I'll be ordering this soon now.
@@FrostyBrew.. so we may as well buy a cheaper 1080 DC instead of overrated 4K like this one here..?
@@budget.diyguy.australia if you want - 1080p at 120 fps is still just fine.
I’m getting ready to install mine, how does that clear piece attach to the windshield? I get how the camera attaches with the 3M pad, but don’t see what keeps the clear film from coming off
If I remember correctly you just peel off the sticker part and then it just sticks to the windshield using friction and surface area. There is no adhesive. Pretty cool how it works, just have to make sure your glass is clean
@@SimpleCarGuy
Thanks!
Does the video invert?
It's freezing up next..
I can't see plate numbers, so it's useless
Just say the plate number so it’s recorded
I'm getting a CARDREADER ERROR message. The camera is hardly used! How do I fix this?
You start by contacting the OEM, not some guy doing a review on CZcams.
Are you sure you have the right card rating? Class and speed? I used a wrong one at first and kept getting that message.
Sometimes you have to delete the memory on the card using your the dash cam
@@2ad516upgrade to a 256GB U3 micro sd card.
this camera is garbage. I have connected the wifi and it gives me about 30 seconds to find the video before it shuts off. This is my second redtiger because the first one stopped working out of nowhere. I got a replacement and now I can not retrieve the video. My wifi is good so i'm not sure the problem. Frustrated and can't get a return or help from customer service since I purchased this a year ago. Never needed to look at video today until when a teenager on a bike swerved in front of my car. Sad that I don't have this evidence.
So at the beginning of your setup, you show that it records at 2160p & 1080p. But then you are saying that it looks like true 4K. It’s NOT! You showed it can only do 2K when you are using both front and rear cameras. 😮oops
@@Thebebop2008 Unfornutaly it is not, it's 2 K. K stands for kilos which are thousands, such as in kilobytes, kilograms, kilometers.
@@Thebebop2008 Ah, thank you for the information.
