I'd love to post some video, but Amazon over-compresses videos and they wind up looking horrible and not reflecting the true quality of the camera. I used to have some demo videos posted on my Vimeo account, on which I used the same user name as I use here; but the RIAA filed a complaint because I had the car radio on in the background. So Vimeo deleted the videos, and I in turn deleted my Vimeo account. My apologies. I'm sure the videos were helpful to many people. But alas, they are no more.
In dual-camera mode, the camera records in 1920 x 1080 at 30 FPS both front and rear. That's as much as the chipset can handle and should be adequate for recording any driving situation short of maybe driving in the Grand Prix. Both the front and rear cameras perform admirably and deliver crisp video when in the high-quality mode. I didn't test the camera in the low- or medium-quality modes.
I used the included Samsung EVO Select Micro-SD card Samsung 128GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Select Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128GA/AM) and experienced no problems with it. It's too soon for me to say how long it will last -- flash memory does wear out -- but it's the card that the manufacturer includes and seems to work fine. I also have a second card of the same model that works fine, as does a SanDisk Extreme Pro card that I purchased elsewhere.
I urge readers to avoid el-cheapo cards in this or any other video surveillance device. Dash cams put SD cards through a lot of abuse. They need good, high-quality cards. Use at least the quality of card that the manufacturer provides, never lower. This is one case in which you really don't want to pinch pennies. You should also reformat the card in the camera after removing it and using it in any other device, such as a computer. It only takes a second or two.
One thing I should mention is that even a slight fingerprint on the lenses or on the polarizing filter for the front camera will make a big difference in picture quality. If you find the image fuzzy or otherwise under par, check for fingerprints and clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth made for that purpose. It makes a big difference. Also make sure that the windshield is clean, obviously.
Another thing I should mention is that this is quite possibly the best-supported electronic device I've ever purchased. Both the manufacturer and the U.S. distributor spend a lot of time on the Dash Cam Talk forum, and most questions are answered within minutes of being posted. The manufacturer is also very transparent about bug fixes and new features that are implemented and enabled in every firmware update; so if you're a geeky sort like I am, you'll find yourself in the company of kindred spirits. But if not, you can simply install the thing and forget about it. It worked quite well out of the box even before I updated the firmware.
Another example of the company's support may seem like an odd one to point out: It's the delay in the release of the hardwire cable. Apparently they had some trouble with the test batch, so they're reworking them before releasing them to market. It may seem odd to consider a delay a positive thing, but it's much better than selling a sub-par product. It demonstrates a sense of responsibility and commitment to quality on the manufacturer's part.
About the only suggestion I can make to improve this product would be to include a short cable for individuals who want to mount the rear camera forward and pointing back into the vehicle cabin to monitor the passengers. I had no need for that sort of installation, but some users might. Other than that, I can't think of a single improvement. The camera and the company's support of it have far exceeded my expectations.

Editing after over 2 years of use. Still 6 stars out of 5. Upgraded firmare, now parking mode can record 30 fps as well. G-sensor now has great range of setting, scratch my earlier complaint about G-sensor too sensitive. I also set G-sensor for parking mode (ensures it creates "events" that are not overwritten). Leaving the rest of my originall review below as it was written.
This camera replaced excellent for its time camera FineVu CR-500HD, so I will compare to it (though that is older generation, so older was good, but not a match for today).
Lens: lens is great, larger aperture, which basically allows 2-3 times more light to fall on sensor, thus improving sensitivity by amount of captured light. Lens quality appears great as well.
Angle width: this is "medium wide" angle camera, angle is about 100-110 degrees. In my opinion this is the optimal angle, as, on one hand it covers sufficient angle on the sides, and on the other hand, it still has sufficient number of pixels captured for smaller objects like license plates. You can read license plates of cars close to you, which for wide angle lens (like 170 degrees) will be virtually impossible.
Resolution: this is HD (1920x1080) for each of front and rear cameras which are recorded in parallel. Resolution is optimal: you don't need 4k, as the picture will be deteriorated by windshield presence anyway. Bitrate is high enough, so stopped frame looks pretty much like photograph, whereas for my older camera with lower bitrate stop frames look "blocky". All in all, you can read license plate just on one frame of this camera; for old camera you need to process combination of multiple frames, and it still is not as easy to read license plate. Huge improvement. But make sure you have camera in highest sharpness and quality, which gives you less footage, but is worth it.
Cables are stiff, but that in my opinion is a big advantage: you don't need to be gentle with them during installation, and they maintain their physical shape (cross-section, not getting squashed), hence the performance is not deteriorated. All necessary for installation hardware and tools come in the box.
You can not swivel camera side to side or tilt it after it is installed. So do "test installation" using scotch first. Only "elevation" is adjustable. This is not a disadvantage in my opinion: the camera once installed is solid in place. This precludes installation of camera far on a side of windshield though, but closer to the center of windshield is best location anyway.
G-sensor. It seems to be single axis, and its sensitivity is very low, at least compared to my old camera (which has 3 axis g-sensor). Old camera started "event" recording on lowest sensitivity even on moderate bumps. This camera g-sensor does not start "unerasable" recording even on highest sensitivity on any bumps I run over. That probably would be a minor complaint, but if accident happens, I have about 8 hours worth to record on 128GB card (highest bitrate/highest quality), so it hardly comes to the point of overwriting accident. And I carry spare card in my car, so once something happens I swap cards anyway.
Supercapasitor. This is what is used in this camera as power source to continue recording for some 10 or 20 seconds after the power is disconnected totally. This is designed to have whole event recorded in case of really bad accident in which power is lost. My old camera has tiny LiPo battery for that. Supercapacitor used in this camera is not a chemical source of energy but akin a capacitor with very high capacitance, and as "chemistry is not involved" here it can operate in much wider range of temperatures, especially towards low temperatures.
Parking mode: it is continuous record at low framerate (settable 1 - 5 frames per second). This allows somewhere near 48 hours of recording (with 128GB card), my marine deep cycle battery I put in place of regular starter battery is unable to power camera over night. I hadn't chance to go deeper into it, measure consumptions etc. Anyway, continuous low frame rate in my opinion is more advantageous for security that the one writing only events, it may give more information under some circumstances.
Memory card: I strongly advise to go with memory card this camera manufacturer chooses. I myself can judge which memory cards are the best, will handle high data stream rates and will be durable; all of which is mandatory for this application. And it was the first thing I checked and to my pleasure I discovered that this manufacturer ships camera with indeed best available cards. If you will get second card like I did, stay away from "generic" cards even claiming the same specs, go with similar that came with your camera. I would recommend samsung (see details on the card you got with the camera). It will be highest price of all with similar specs, and this is where you shouldn't try to save money, and you will win in a long run.
Now the best part: customer service. I had a problem with my camera (power port connection was intermittent). A couple of hours after I emailed the company advance replacement unit was on the way to me (front camera only - the one that had problem). Of course, if was similarly exchange for somebody else, not the new one, which I don't care: that solved my problem. And even having been through this mishap, I still would give the camera 6 stars out of 5.
Top reviews from other countries
Cameras look great, image quality is fantastic, install was dandy, and the customer service... what more could you ask for? You can't go wrong with these guys.
Here is some important specs of the camera you can review before you jump into details
1. Resolution and FPS: 1080p, 30FPS (frames per second)
- On the road: You can see very clearly if the vehicle license plates within around 2-3 meters from the camera, but if a vehicle just driven by your car, you will hardly see their license plate
- Parking mode: (1080p with 1FPS, 5FPS, 30FPS)
o 1080p, 5FPS
Pros: You won’t see the license plate if the car just passed by.
Cons: You will be able to record videos the whole night (10hrs at least)
o 1080p, 30FPS
Pros: You can probably guess what is displayed on the license plate
Cons: I believe won’t able to monitor 10 hrs
2. Installation
- You will probably need to disassemble your interior covers for clean wiring
- Adhesive tapes included with the purchase with extra in case you failed
3. User friendly manual compares to my old DoD dash cam
4. Personal Wifi incuded
- You can activate Personal WiFi on the dash cam and use your cell phone to download the footage from the camera
5. Great and fast customer service with details. This is a huge plus as hard wire the dashcam can be frustrated.
Budget, time and things to consider:
- Dual Camera system: $350 CAD
o Similar model - Blackvue DR750S-2CH With Power Magic Pro Hardwire Kit - $389 CAD (On sale right now)
• With this model you don’t have 128GB SD included in the package
• I don’t know if they include a lot of accessories like Street Guardian.
• If you really care about “60FPS” on the front camera, you can give this model a shot especially at this price point.
- Hard wire kit: $40 CAD (From Amazon)
- Tools you will need or buy: $30 ish
o long nose pliers
o Philips screw drivers
o Light source, flash light or your cell phone
o Voltmeter
- Install time and cost:
o Install on your own - $0
2Hrs (Assume you know where you pretty familiar with your car, it took me about 2hrs and 4 days so total 8hrs to figure out everything including installation, test, which fuse socket, cable/wire management)
o Let third party to install - $175 + Tax
As an example, BlackBoxMyCar offer $175 CAD + Tax for Dual Channel Camera (JP car) with 2hrs installation time
- Total dollars if you install on your own: $400 CAD + 2hr personal time
o Pros: You learn something and you save some money
o Cons: If you do not know what you are doing, you might damage the camera/fuse box/car and waste a lot of time
- Total dollars if you let third party to install it for you: $565 CAD + 2hr installation time (<- they did not sell this model but they might be able to install it for you, call them to ask)
o Pros: Worry free, you don’t need to worry about to damage your camera/fuse box/car and possibly save some research/troubleshooting/testing time
o Cons: You need to pay more
Before you buy
1. What type of the fuse hard wire kit you are looking for?
- “Mini ATO Low profile” for Honda CRV 2020, if you do not know what type of the fuse you have on your car, take one of the fuse from your fuse box and take a picture to compare with (search "car fuse type" in google) or even send the picture to Street Gordian customer service.
- For Honda CRV 2020 fuse box location (fuse type: Mini ATO Low profile)
o You will find the fuse box label underneath the steering wheel and the fuse box will be located on the left side of your paddle
o You shouldn’t need to remove the plastic cover (at least for my car) to access the fuse box but it will somehow make you easier to access. If you like to remove the plastic cover please pull the cover toward you.
