    This is a wordy review on the site:

    "By: Gypsy from: Las Vegas Nevada Aug 10 2014
    PRICE:
    QUALITY:
    FEATURES:
    First I want to note a couple things - one, I haven't quite figured it all out yet, and second, this is pretty cool for its price. But there have already been a few hurdles I had to jump - 1. The SD card. The package says up to 32 GB. I put a 16 GB card in. It came out of a digital camera, and still had files on it. The DVR was unhappy about that and would not record onto it, so I let the DVR format it, and that solved that issue. 2. Power issues. If you plug it in to a purely power-supplying source, such as the included 12 V car socket adapter, or to a conventional 5 V USB device charger, it fires up automatically and starts recording. Not so if you plug it into a PC USB port. The PC will create a token for it in My Computer / This PC, and opening it will give you access to the video files, which are AVI's, or the snapshots, which are JPG's. The camera will not record in this mode. 3. Another power issue that has me stumped: the DVR comes with a replaceable Lithium-Ion flat-pack style battery, like a phone battery. I charged it using the 12 V adapter (a USB charger will also work), and the DVR worked fine as long as the power cable was connected to it, but shut down as soon as I unplugged the power. The 'manual' says several out and out incorrect things, and one of them is that the power button turns the DVR power on and off. It doesn't do anything, at any time. If there's power to it, it runs. If not, it doesn't run. No exceptions. Note that this is the case for mine. Your mileage etc. 4. The menus. Lots of options, a goodly number of which are not self-explanatory and whose purpose is unknown. I'll probably figure at least some of them before it annoys me one time too many and it takes a flying lesson. 5. Again, despite the battery, if you lose power to the DVR even for a second, all the configuration goes away, and taking at least 5 minutes to redo it all is a nuisance at best. So I could have a battery problem. It seems unlikely, however, as the DVR indicted that battery was charging, then after a few hours started showing it as fully charged, so the DVR is seeing the battery and charging it. It just doesn't keep the configuration memory alive or allow the DVR to be used without a power cord. Kind of pointless, just like the power button. A few other notes - The mount attaches to the DVR with a standard camera 1/4 " bolt, so the DVR can go on other camera stands and tripods, and cameras can go on the mount. The mount is very limited as far as pointing the DVR. It is pretty well made, and has plenty of adjustment range on two axis, but the DVR is too long for the mount and hits the glass if the glass is not sloped the way windshields usually are. You have to mount it on sloping glass with the suction cup above the DVR. I had hoped to use the DVR on vertical glass, like auto side windows for example, but the DVR has to sit at an extreme angle on the horizontal axis to avoid the glass, and it isn't always possible to point it where you want to. The camera takes pretty good video. The snaps are low rez, 1.3 MP, but are generally viewable. If I ever get the hang of it I'll come back here and post pictures and video."

    WOW… 270-degree wide viewing angle…. this is great. hahahhahaha

    • I wonder what the viewing angle actually is.

  • +3

    Night vision? Those LEDs would do zilch.
    Would be a good rear cam for those tailgaters.

      LOL, so true. Please get rid of that "night vision" from the title, it's an embarrassment. In fact having the those LED lights on at night, reflecting off the front windscreen, can even deteriorate your vision. More like "night blindness" XD

    • I wonder if they can be disabled at night, otherwise it will be useless.

      • Given the quality of the cheap dvrs the leds will stop by themselves in due time

    Now bad for a cheapy, viewing angle is actually narrower that wide angle but detail is better for that.
    Forget night vision.

  • this review sums up my 'NoGo' decision " if you lose power to the DVR even for a second, all the configuration goes away, and taking at least 5 minutes to redo it all is a nuisance at best. So I could have a battery problem. It seems unlikely, however, as the DVR indicted that battery was charging, then after a few hours started showing it as fully charged, so the DVR is seeing the battery and charging it.

    $17 sold, wonder how it will compare with my blackvue lol

    • was sent shipping notice the same day as payment, very cool

  • I don't expect it to be any good but for $17 I don't care, straight in the rear window.

  • received today and what a pos,, came with no mounting suction cup another $4 to purchase a battery, quality regardless of changing to hd settings video looks to be 480p or possibly 240p, video is blurry/out of focus

    I wasn't expecting much at $17 but that is way overpriced, it would be an ok buy at $5 just for the cables the camera overall is very very dodgy. maybe someone will have more luck with theres

    • Received mine today, haven't had a chance to play with it yet although it did come with the mounting suction cup

      • keep me updated to how you go, maybe i was sent a dud,,have filled paypal claim,, won't hold my breath though lol
