So far works without a hitch. Very pleased after a month and a half. From my dash cam review....
...Great value. Not just for the money, but I think this is a great product. I sat on this review for about a month and a half so that I would be over any unboxing high. This device performs as described and I am very pleased. I bought the SpyTec A119 Version 2 Car Dash 60 FPS + Polarized lens cover to reduce glare (don't use it much) + Transcend High Performance 32GB memory card and recommend all 3.
I bought this after a couple of traffic issues on my morning commute. One was a speeding ticket I got, though my cruise was set at the speed limit plus a mile or two (not 9 mph over). I prevailed after 9 mos. of court dates and self representation. My biggest help was the officer's cruiser video and audio, which I had to file motions to discover. ...if I had only had my own personal video and audio then...
The other was a fender bender with a car making for the turn lane in front of me. Long story short, the insurance co. for the other driver wouldn't pay for a new bumper cover on my car. No witnesses, so what you gonna do - go ahead, sue us. I gave in and bought my own bumper cover AND later this dash cam. Next time I won't have to roll over.
Convenience of the cam is great. The cam powers up when I start the car and cuts off when I stop. There's bout a 10 second delay until it's powered up, but that's not been and won't be an issue. I can pop the cam off the windshield mount easily with my hand and stick it in the console if it's going to be in the sun for the day or if I suspect the parking lot may have passers-by with sticky fingers. It's worth mentioning the gps box stays mounted to the windshield with an adhesive. The summer Texas sun has not affected the adhesive, nor killed the electronics, even on a 107oF day recently. Impressive.
The gps box (mounted to the windshield) records and displays my speed on the video. The video is high def and looks great day or night. The video has adequate sound recording, which I can mute for general use and quickly un-mute should I get pulled over again and need that conversation recorded. (Nothing against police officers, but if they make a mistake with me again I'll need evidence.) Video with sound loads easily on the computer; essentially a series of 3-min video files that I can pull off the chip and onto my hard drive as needed. I even drove a route to the airport one day and transferred the files to someone's computer so they would have an easy time driving it when they had to go a couple of weeks later. I also drove some construction sites for work to show some peers some points of interest. Lots of innovative uses I'm sure.
Also worth mention is Spy Tec follow up. They are apparently interested in a good transaction and satisfaction on their purchases.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
