DBPOWER 2.7, Car Dash Cam Video Recorder DVR Camcorder Car Camera with Night Vision 120 ° 1080P HD G-Sensor capteur-g, 4xZoom, Support for Micro SD Cards 32GB (Not Included)

The images are comparable with more expensive cameras, and the product is being improved all the time. Because of the JPEG encoding for the video feed, it can appear a little jerky if using a slower memory card, but this does not detract from the positives, which include:- The neatness of the camera - the body is less than a centimetre in depth (the lens sticks out further of course, but even with that we have less than 3 cm.) Compared with the chunky models on the market, and the weird fixings on some of them, this has been designed with neatness in mind.- Window fixing. The suction cup sticks well, but where the camera goes in, there is a small clip to lock it. No chance of it dropping out while you are driving- Because of the thickness of the body, there is little chance of accidentally getting your fingers on the lens when fitting to the suction cup - a small point, but if you've used chunkier models, you'll know what I mean- The view screen, just under 7 cm diagonally from corner to corner- The controls are neat and easy to operate on the rear of the camera- The manual - It was originally in a short, translated form, but it has been totally and comprehensively rewritten inn English, and if you contact the supplier, they will be happy to send you a PDF if your purchase doesn't already have that manual included. It is the best manual on the market, for these type of devices.- Language support for 6 common languages - something to suit everyone- Reliability. I had a chain of budget cameras from Amazon, all of which failed for different reasons after a short period of use. It seems as though suppliers are so keen to get the products to market, there is no final QA testing. Not so with this unit, which is still performing reliably after several week's use in high temperatures- Anti-shake. All dashcams should have this to allow you to read number plates etc. This one works well, but you do get the option to turn it off if you are suitably inclined- Power cable length. At 3 metres, you can mount the camera almost anywhere in the vehicle- Support. In my contact with the supplier, replies have been quick and courteousI'm giving the camera five stars because it is excellent value, looks the part, and works well. I would have liked the video encoding in H.264, to improve the compression ratios and the smoothness of the recording - a 5 minute recording is slightly less than 1 Gbte of data, but a 32Gb card will record over 2.5 hours of data at maximum definition, and lots more at a lower quality. for a front mounting camera, I suggest using Full HD, which allows you to read number plates on the approaching traffic. If you use this as a rear-view camera, you can reduce the quality accordingly as the car right on your tail will be close enough to read the number plate and identify the mad driver at lower resolutions.

I bought myself one of these and also one for my dad for Christmas. I was very impressed at how lightweight and compact this dashboard camera is. The settings are pretty straight forward to set up before fitting it in your car, I did both in about 10 minutes. I fitted mine this morning and for someone who would normally shy away from fitting something like this I would get my dad to do it. However, I fancied a go myself and within half an hour it was fitted with the help of a few black cable ties. The wire is less than half a cm thick so easily slides into the seals and behind the plastic interior. There is ample wire, as I have a 15 plate Ford Focus and my camera is positioned to the left of the interior mirror and I've still got about 6-8 inches of wire spare that tucked in behind the central pillar of the dashboard. In terms of picture quality, I am very impressed. Obviously if you are facing into direct sunlight there is a white haze to the picture, even with exposure and white balance at its lowest, but you can still get decent footage. I then reversed out of my drive, so was facing away from sunlight and I got a detailed, panoramic view for a good 100 yards so on the road will provide you adequate coverage should you have an accident. If you're like me and often charge your phone using the cigarette lighter, the power cable for this camera has a USB socket so acts as a dual charger. I am amazed at the level of quality I have received for just over £30!

This dash cam was brilliant for the first 7/8 months. The screen is very clear, good recording quality and started up automatically when the car was turned on which was handy and meant i didn't forget to turn it on. Unfortunately this dash cam has now developed a fault and gets stuck after around 10 minutes of recording then ends the video, tries to start recording again and gets stuck after 4-6 seconds repeatedly each time so I end up with loads of 5 second videos! If you try to stop it doing this the screen goes green and doesn't work at all until you turn it on and off again... then it repeats this whole scenario. It was very good while it worked, disappointed now but says it comes with 1years warrenty so I have contacted the seller to see what they can do.

Firstly, for £25 initially I thought it is a very good product which did the job expected and without any concerns or issues.....of course it is not going to perform as good as the higher priced products at 4-5 times the price and unreasonable to compare and criticise. Excellent delivery and thought good quality product for price paid.Initial problem which turned out to be a defective or poor quality new supposedly appropriate SD card for a dashcam (purchased from another seller). Would strongly recommend buying a quality SD card (I paid £10) and not the £5 rubbish. Excellent customer service....UpdateThis replacement camera only lasted a year before images started becoming jumpy and even failed to record at certain times..... Would recommend saving your money to get a more reliable camera, bearing in mind what the purpose of this camera is..... You don't want it failing at the most critical of times!
