    Aloha Everyone,

    After a few years of waiting, it finally came in! I first saw this on Facebook and I backed the project. Not sure if this is crap or good yet, but here is my install pictures and also link to you tube unboxing video and what we think so far.

    I will be posting more videos about the quality here in the Hawaiian sun!

    Today was the first day using the camera, I can not believe how crappy the camera is, why would they do this at this kind of price point?

    It may look ok, but you cant zoom in on anything to see signs or license plates, that is not cool! What do you all think>?

    I guess if you want more detail you need to run more than one camera. If you had a high quality front and rear plus the 360 view there isn't much ambiguity for insurance/court/jury.

    Agreee with you, I belive they have a good idea, but the camera should have been better.. So i had to decide if I want a true dash cam that can only do one thing, or a 360 that does everything but poor quality... I guess it wouldnt hurt to have a dedicated true camera, but gzz... the cost to just have this 360 just sitting there...

    I am going to give it a little longer see if it grows on me, will put up my 2nd part of the review this week..

    I want a dash cam that can do a few things that none of the ones I've seen can do.
    1) Front and rear in HD.
    2) Function as recorder, but also have outputs for the head unit's screen to allow use for backup cam, towing cam etc. I hate having a bunch of cameras that I cant look out of from my Pioneer head unit...
    3) Super clean.
    4) GPS, timestamps.

    I know Pioneer makes one and Keywood makes one... but not sure about front and rear, i think your asking way too much for 2018 :) maybe 2019??

    Just wanted to update everyone, took it out, total crap for how much money it costs...

    Will be doing Tech Tuesday unbox/install/first thoughts review on my channel for the best dashcam on the market so they say....
