SGGCX2PRO+ Dash Camera with GPS, CPL & 64GB MicroSD Card

Like most of you, I read many, many reviews on dashcams. I wanted one that had great video quality and high reliability. I found street guardian to rate highly on both categories from my research. I bought two for my cars and finally tried them out today. First, they're very easy to use. The buttons are logical and intuitive. Second, I really appreciate all the little accessories they pack in there to give you a variety of installation options. While it doesn't come with a suction mount, you can buy one on amazon or ebay easily. Besides, the suction mount is not as reliable as adhesive. Also, I really like the fact that it comes with an external GPS and option to add a rear cam. These are all features I don't need now, but I like that I can upgrade my system in the future easily.The video quality is very good from my initial viewing (I downloaded their dashcam viewer software as well). I have not had a chance to mount and drive around yet as I need to let the adhesive sit for ~72 hours in the car to achieve maximum hold. The recorded audio is clear and loud (you have the option to turn the mic off)Every review that I came across that mentioned their great customer service is true! I asked a question on their website regarding mounting on my dash and they replied the same day, and on a Sunday, too! I also had another issue with the Sandisk SD High Endurance card that came with the camera (I bought two and the other cam was supplied with a Sandisk SD Ultra card that I had no issue with) and they also replied today (Sunday) to send me a replacement. Bravo! I'm impressed.

I had the previous version of this camera (SG9665GC) in my previous vehicle, it worked great, it was reliable... generally speaking it just worked, rarely needing my intervention for anything other than SD card changes.This one... wow... I almost don't have words. I purchased on Feb 28th 2019, I had it professionally installed on march 2nd 2019. As of today (05/06/2019), The rear camera doesn't work at all, not even detected any more. I have to completely remove power from it at least once a week because it becomes completely unresponsive and freezes. It randomly beeps for no reason that I can see on the screen. This thing worked for the first 30 days, then it took a crap. It sucks that I have to find a better camera now as I loved the older version. This one is trash.

I live in the South and it gets very hot here and camera holds up well to use down here due to the type of battery. Other cameras don't hold up at all down here. I do disconnect it and I usually have windshield screen up when I park but sometimes I forget to the put the screen up or I put the screen up and leave the camera on the windshield and camera still works great.Only negatives are that it is a little more expensive but I feel it's definitely worth it. Also, I wish it was easier to move the camera around instead of it having a sticker, I wish it was a suction cup or something, but that's minor.overall, i would recommend it to people

My previous Dash-cam quit working, so I have recently purchased two new Dash-cams with GPS, for evaluation purposes. I am on the road 300-400 miles daily and for liability purpose, need a dash-cam that can accurately capture license plate numbers of moving vehicles, in the event of an incident. I first bought the new VAVA model, which cost $99, including GPS. Recording at 1080p 60fps, it records video at a bitrate of about 17mbps. I thought the video was Good, but not as good as the several Mobius Action Cams that I have been using as secondary cams. Mobius does not have a GPS option, which I need, but the video detail is excellent, and always captures the license plates!Not overly impressed with the VAVA, I then ordered this Street Guardian SGGCX2PRO model, at $199, including GPS.One would think that at twice the price, you would get substantially better video quality. And even though the video recording bitrate for 1080p @60fps is higher; about 20mbps, the viewable video quality is only marginally better. And as you can see in the two captures, just barely better! Certainly not worth twice the price.4/6/2019 .. update: dropping my rating to one-star. I just spent the last 1-1/2 hours attempting to update the firmware from v 1.17 to v 1.20, with No Luck! Followed the directions exactly, trying 3 different cards (all of them worked in the cam). No at all happy with the video quality which to me, is paramount.4/8/2019 ..update: I was informed by an associate of Street Guardian that I should adjust my video recording from 1080p60fps, to 1080p30fps for better results, and that they are currently working on a "firmware upgrade" that should improve 60fps recording. -- Nevermind the fact that this camera is advertised to record 1080p @ 60fps! Which it does, but not with impressive results.. which kind of defeats the purpose. Why sell the product under shaky pretenses?I will no doubt return this cam, and keep the $99 VAVA model which performs quite nicely for the price.4/7/2019 ...update: Firmware issue resolved. Turns out that this is a Pro+ model, even though is not listed as such. It just does not include the optional rear camera. So, I had downloaded the wrong firmware update! When you check your current firmware version in the cam menu, write down the entire description. If it has a + in it, then it is the + Model. Also, to update: unplug the GPS and Power cables from the cam, insert the memory card with the .bin file only, and then plug the power back in... only then will it update.
