Z-Edge Z4 2K Dash Cam, Super HD 2560x1080 Dashboard Camera Recorder with Ambarella Chip, 16GB TF Card Included, HDR & Night Vision, 150° Wide Angle, Loop Recording, G-Sensor and Parking Monitor

The media could not be loaded. This is one of the best dash cameras under $100 on amazon right now. Installation and set up was very easy. Unlike most dash camera manuals, this one was written in English and easy to understand. Most were written in another language and poorly translated. Only error I seen in manual is that only 2560x1080 30P is 21:9, rest are 16:9.Unit comes with box, camera, power cord, car charger with dual USB plugs, USB cord to connect to computer, 16GB Kingston Micro USB class 10 card and handy tool to help hide cord in car. This is first camera I have seen that comes with tool to make it easier to run cord along windshield, rubber trim and dash (orange tool in pictures). Another nice feature is the ability to save clips manually by pushing playback button while recording, Also has g-force detection to save video in case of crash.Below is youtube video link showing footage taking at top 3 resolutions at day and night. Amazon downgrades quality of video so badly would not look good on here. Camera can take following resolution 2560x1080 30P, 1304X1296 30P, 1920X1080 45, HDR 1920X1080 3P, 1920X1080 30P. 1280X720 60P and 1280X720 30P. I found that at night there can be some blurriness of letters at 30P at higher resolution. 45P looked smooth with lower resolution. I could easily see license plates at night and day when stopped behind the vehicles. There were some glare at night at 2560*1080 30p, but this may be due to my computer monitor cannot show that high of resolution. I plan on keeping my camera on the 1304x1296 30P. Dash camera also has ability to take 5312x2988 (16M) pictures while taking video (except in HDR 1080).The dash camera can accept up to 64GB Micro SD card. I used my Samsung MB-MD64DA/AM Pro Plus 64GB MicroSDXC Memory Card class 10 card.Dash camera does have small lithium ion battery to save internal settings and for short term use when unplugged from car. Manual says 64GB will allow for about 400 minutes of video, 32GB 200 minutes and 16GM 100 minutes. This sounds about correct from what I have recorded so far. You can record in loops of 1, 3 or 5 minutes. Along with resolution you can record quality at super fine, fine and normal. All my videos were shot at super fine. Camera does have date and time stamp.Camera does have Parking mode where if detects any vibrations, it will record for about 30 seconds after vibration has finished. Suction cup seems to attach to windshield and hold very solid. Only things the camera does not have is GPS or wifi connection to watch the video. At this price range, this camera cannot be beat.I cannot post link to youtube, (amazon rule) but search Z-EDGE Z4 DASH CAMERA REVIEW on youtube by Brian Allyn

I have attached screenshots of the folders that are on card, the time stamps are inconsistent, with good faith i installed the camera and did let it run after i did all the required setting for my need, i am in the car hauling business so its kind mandatory to have one of these. So now that i had my first incident, i have no proof of it because the camera was not recording, now correct me if am F wrong!? Wasn`t this thing supposed to record non stop? i purchased extra a 64 giga byte card so that i can set the loop record option to 5 minutes, i used HD recording which states in the manual that it will bring down recording time drastically, FINE! Because this way i can still read license plate numbers on the recording...So no after the first incident i immediately took the camera off the download the record just to find out that it is consistently missing time stamp!Am i understand loop recording right? What is going on? Wasn`t it supposed to record non stop?This is a disaster! Now the Officers were super cool and they did not give me a ticket for "not adjusting my speed to the weather condition" but if i had have to argue about that and show how slow actually i was going....there is no proof it and i get ticket as well upon my $1350 towing ticket.Thank Z-Edge

The camera was very easy to setup. I just wish there were a video showing how to operate the camera so that if something happen you know you using it properly. How to save and play back if an accident happen. All I see is driving down the road with camera recording and taking it out of the box videos.5/14/19 In the pass few weeks, I noticed that camera isn’t always recording due to the plug or they wire. I am surprised because the product is less than a year. It was purchased in October, 2018.I also purchased this product earlier for my daughter’s in which I haven’t heard any complaints. The images are very clear.

This is an updated review of this product. I got it in February and have been using it for almost three months now. I still haven't got the chance to drive at night and thus can't comment on its performance in dark environment. Yet, at daytime, it works great. It captures pictures clearly and the long wire (though i don't like it) provides more flexibility as how to hide it. The most impressed part is their customer services. I have questions regarding my dash cam and the customer rep is always prompt in responding to my questions. The turnaround time is only several hours and the longest is two days. Very impressed.

This is the first dash cam I have purchased. It was at a good price point and I have not been disappointed at all. The camera has a removable 16 GB micro SD card that holds 6 hours of video in 5 minute clips. I have saved some of the video for clips of my adventures and it is easy to do. Quality is good both day and night. The camera is easy to use and has lots of features, more than I use actually. It is easy to install and I have moved it from vehicle to vehicle. But at this price, I plan to buy a second camera so I can install it permanently and not have the wire dangling. It comes with a long power cable so I can hide it in the windshield trim easily. It also has a short power cable that I use in temporary installations. I could just move the camera between the two cars, but with a second camera I would always have it in both vehicles.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:No, it is not what expected. The camera moves a lot when driving.
