Good camera but not wide angle
The quality of the camera is great but definitely isn’t wide enough.It doesn’t even show the entire windshield, just 75% of it.Also the backup camera doesn’t work, it’s plugged in correctly and doesn’t work when I try to switch it from front to back camera.

So easy to use!
The reason I specifically chose this product is that it does not have a screen. Because extra lights are bothering me when I driving in the dark. Installation was so easier than I expected and satisfied from video quality. I do not use much but mic quality is also really good. Product comes with ligher socket and there is an extra usb port on that which is really good but I wish it could be 2 Usb port.

pretty good camera
only complaint is that it takes a long time to start recording (like maybe 10s). a lot of accidents could happen in the first 10 seconds (e.g. in a parking lot) so it would be a lot better if the camera started recording sooner.

Cannot connect to device WI-FI (reset feature won’t work) – FIXED NOW
Got a new phone and now I cannot access the device WI-FI and reset will not work. Dashcam works, but I must remove micro-SD card to view videos.UPDATE: I got a speedy reply from support via email and was able to upgrade the firmware and everything works normally now! It did take 3 hrs start to finish for me to resolve this issue. They will send you a .pdf file with instructions. T5 New Firmware_ Voice Control1023.pdf

Great dash cam
So I wanted a dash cam because where I life people drive like maniacs and it’s common to get hit and run so I just wanted the added protection. I really like that it senses when you are possibly hit and doesn’t record over that video unless you tell it to. I also love that it comes with a rear camera as well. I also really like that the plug for the cigarette lighter has a usb plug on it as well so I can still charge my phone and have the dash cam plugged in, which was my biggest fear about getting this product and they already had the solution. There is plenty of wire for big cars. I drive a highlander and had a bunch of slack left over from my rear camera to where I plug it in. My only problem was the wires so I got mini cable management clips and ran it down my dash and under the carpet to my trunk. I also had trouble with hooking it up to the app initially just because my wifi doesn’t reach where I park so I had to set it up in a public parking lot that had internet. All and all very easy to set up and operate and i recommend it to everyone.

Excellent so far
No sure why some give this camera system low rating. Took me 30 minutes to install everything. I have some electrical and mechanical skills. Let say that unskilled may take a hour. App gave me some trouble but I fixed it unstalling it and installing it again and fixed the problem. App is working fine for me on Android . See pictures , as you can see it is a clean installation and not wire hanging at all. I bought the hard wired kit with the 12 VDC to 5VDC converter and USB C plug, so I connected direct to the fuse box and it is always on so I records all the time when I’m parked. It cost 15.99 here Amazon.com: Dash Cam Hardwire Kit,USB C Hard Wire Kit Fuse for Dashcam, Plozoe 12V-24V to 5V Car Dash Camera Charger Power Cord, Gift 4 Fuse Tap Cable and Installation Tool（11.5ft） : Electronicshttps://www.amazon.com/Hardwire-Dashcam-Plozoe-Installation-Tool%EF%BC%8811-5ft%EF%BC%89/dp/B0B19LGTF9/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2PWNYOU405KSP&keywords=12v-24v+to+5v+car+dash+camera+charger+power+cord&qid=1694283325&sprefix=car+camera+12v%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-4So far I can recommend it. Let see if it last. I would like to have a display or an ouput for a didplay to be connected, so you can see video without having a phone, and if there is a cash , police can easily see it with no phone.

Very satisfied with this dual dash cam with front and rear cameras
This is the most thoughtful dash cam with the most comprehensive accessories I have ever seen.It has two cameras front and rear, one on the front windshield and one on the rear window. It can capture the situation in front of the front of the car, and also record the situation behind the rear of the car. Having been hit from the right rear by another vehicle before tells me that having this rear camera is very useful.It is thoughtfully equipped with two sets of 3M adhesive strips and parts for fixing the front camera.There are also small tools for hiding cables, and sticky hooks to help hide cables, etc.In order to facilitate sticking to the car window and make it easier to remove without damaging the window glass, a transparent film is provided. This is simply too sweet.It is very easy to install by yourself by referring to the Youtube video on the manual.I have used a few dash cam, and some of them are designed so stupidly that they are not strong enough to block the line of sight. I am very satisfied with this dash cam.

Great Solution, high quality Video, Protect yourself
I have bought a total of (3) of these units, the T5, for our family cars.Installation is easy and quick, we have used several different solutions, and so far these are the best overall, good price, good quality, good support when there are questions.Note: I use the Norton VPN on my iPhone, you will have to temporarily disable the VPN to connect with the OKCar app, just an FYI. If you use an iPhone, make sure you are updated to the latest OS.We learned years ago to have the front/rear camera in the car for protection, one accident will convince you if you get in a situation to prove that you are not at fault, our insurance company used the video to go after the other party. Once the other party found out that it was all recorded, their story trying to set blame on my daughter changed real fast after the officer that took the original report had hard questions on their statements after seeing the video.

pretty good dash camera
I am extremely satisfied with the product. From the ease of installation to the exceptional video quality, this dash cam has exceeded my expectations in every aspect.To begin with, the installation process was a breeze. Following the provided instructions, I was able to set up the dash cam without any complications. The components felt sturdy and well-made, ensuring a durable product that will withstand the test of time.The video quality of the front and rear cameras is simply outstanding. Recording in 4K resolution, the footage captured is incredibly sharp and detailed. Whether it’s capturing license plate numbers or capturing clear images in low-light conditions, this dash cam delivers exceptional performance. The wide viewing angle of the cameras provides a comprehensive field of view, ensuring that no crucial details are missed.Navigating through the dash cam’s interface is a seamless experience. The user-friendly controls and intuitive menu layout make it easy to adjust settings and access various features. The dash cam offers additional functionalities such as loop recording, motion detection enhancing the overall user experience.One minor challenge I encountered during the installation process was related to the cord routing. The provided instructions suggested routing the cord from the passenger door to the driver’s side, resulting in an upside-down image display. However, I quickly realized that by installing the dash cam through the driver’s door instead, the issue was resolved, and the footage displayed correctly. While this adjustment was not explicitly mentioned in the instructions, it was a minor inconvenience that did not impact the overall satisfaction with the product.Taking into account the exceptional video quality, ease of installation, and user-friendly interface, I rate the Front and Rear 4K Dash Cam a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Despite the minor cord routing issue, the overall performance and functionality of this dash cam are outstanding. If you are in search of a high-quality dash cam that provides crystal-clear video footage and a seamless user experience, this product is an excellent choice.

Small Compact Dashcam Gets Job Done
I have been owning this dashcam for a month now. It’s small compact and very easy to install, it hides behind the rearview mirror easily. However, you will need to download the app to view the recorded videos. You will need to be within a certain distance of the dashcam to stay connected, so remote viewing video is limited. The video quality is good. Overall, I am satisfied with the product so far at this price point.

cheap and cheerful and its very clear
I installed in my wrx vb, tap on 12v socket as didnt want to run 24hrs. Easy installation. However connection to the wifi was so difficult, so i use a different charger and suprisingly it works. So not sure if my old cables not giving enough power for the device wifi to work or what, but the recording works. Took about an hour for me to figured that out. So when i do need to connect to the device i guess i need to use different cables.Oh i installed my reverse camera up side down, my previous dash cam (different brand) there is option to flip it over, but not this one! so had to take off the sticky tape and retape again.

WARNING: NOT REALLY 4K!
Bought a couple of these dash cams on a lighting deal and had high hopes based on the specs.I’ve had some good dash cams in the past (ROAV and VAVA) but manufacturers exit the dash cam market quite a bit despite their success (awards and all). Hence, I needed to find a new vendor/dash cam. Enter the FocuWay T5 4K front and (1080p) rear dash cam system.After we received both systems I decided to get the hardwire kits for cleaner installations. In the interim, one front (4K) camera was installed in order to fine tune the setup.The camera lens was installed centered in the middle of the windshield under the rear view mirror (note that the camera lens is offset, so the unit must be mounted offset to center the lens). After completion, videos were reviewed for final camera adjustments but they also revealed a right image bias. Not a deal breaker with the wide angle of view.The downloaded recordings I reviewed were grainy and a bit out of focus, but I discounted these issues as I worked my way thru the camera settings.When the hardwire kits arrived, I started to prepare for the final phase of the installation. Somehow, I couldn’t get past the image issues. After being unable to read the license plate of a car parked 25 feet away, I tried altering the settings (eg. WDR, exposure, and even resolution) to no avail.In an effort to get to the bottom of the problem, I hooked up my 3+ year old VAVA 2K dash cam and recorded the same area as the FocuWay T5 front cam.After downloading video files from the VAVA and FocuWay units it became clear why the T5’s videos were so poor. Despite supposedly having a lower resolution than the T5, the VAVAs 2K videos were actually clearer than the T5. Also, when comparing the T5’s videos at 4K, 2K and 1080p, there was little discernible difference.The only explanation I can surmise is that the T5 captures the images at 1080p and upsamples the recordings to 4K…a practice that some dash cam manufacturers use in an effort to falsely claim a 4K system. Additionally, the 4K videos from the T5 were at 24 frames per second; below the standard 30 frames per second for full motion video (another savings measure).In the end, both systems and their hardware kits are being returned to Amazon. It was fine that the unit’s don’t have GPS but a system that can’t clearly identify license plates defeats the purpose of even having it.I should’ve looked closer at the sample videos in other reviews. There isn’t a legible license plate in any of them!***UPDATE: Realizing I have a 5 megapixel security camera covering the same space (equivalent to approximately 2.5K), I decided to review it’s video recordings for comparison. What I found was that I could easily view license plates from up to 40 feet away and over 10 feet off the ground. Figures that far exceed the stated higher resolution of the dash cam (4K should give me results comparable to an 8 megapixel camera).Again, the video files betray the fact that this dash cam is no where near 4K in what it captures!

Good Quality Dashcam
The dash cam is a remarkable addition to the world of dashboard cameras. Its impeccable 4K ultra-high-definition recording capabilities offer unmatched clarity in video footage that is essential for accurately capturing details, whether you’re recording scenic road trips or evidence for insurance claims. It boasts a wide angle, ensuring that a broader perspective of the road is captured without any blind spots. The camera’s night vision capability is equally impressive, as it leverages the latest sensor technology to produce precise, well-lit recordings even in low-light conditions.Setting up the dashcam is a breeze, with a simple plug-and-play installation process that gets you up and running in no time. It is user-friendly and allows easy navigation through the menu settings, enabling users to adjust their preferences quickly. A standout feature is the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows seamless transfer of videos to smartphones or other devices, without the need for wires or removing memory cards.The camera automatically locks the recorded footage to prevent it from being overwritten. The loop recording function ensures that you never run out of storage space, as older, non-essential footage is overwritten once the memory card reaches capacity. Despite its high-resolution recording capabilities, the dashcam doesn’t take a toll on your vehicle’s battery, thanks to its efficient power management.Overall, the dashcam is a reliable and technologically advanced device that combines superior video quality with a host of useful features, making it an invaluable companion for any driver.

Decent Quality, Easy Setup
The media could not be loaded.
This dash cam is very much plug and play which I appreciate, and once you plug it in it talks to you, saying that it’s started recording (this is a bit annoying, just a beep would be better). The installation can be a bit difficult because it’s not adjustable at all; there is a single adhesive pad attached to the camera and no other way to mount it- no suction cup mount etc. In front of the rear-view mirror works well, but if you want it anywhere else it might be difficult because you can’t adjust the angle at all.The picture quality is better than I expected, it’s definitely good enough to read license plates etc. even from kind of far away. I didn’t attach the back camera because I didn’t want wires running all over my car, but the front camera is definitely adequate quality.Besides the mount not being adjustable at all, my only complaints would be with the app and the cable length. The included USB C to Car-Port cable is very long, definitely long enough to reach the camera directly, but a bit too short to ‘hide’ properly depending on your car. If you don’t car about having a cable running through your center console it’s fine, but I had to buy a longer USB C cable in order to hide it properly. The other issue is with the mobile app, I found it quite difficult to connect to the camera, as it often doesn’t show up in settings etc. This probably isn’t something you would be accessing super often so again it’s not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind.Overall there are a couple things that could be improved about the camera, but its core functionality, as a dash camera, works very well. I appreciate that it comes with everything you need to use it right out of the box, and it’s very easy to set up depending on how you want it mounted.

Great little set of cams for the price.
Bought this to replace an aging one that I had in my vehicle who was glitching a lot and boy am I sure glad for the upgrade! The camera set up was super easy and the fact that It came with a secondary camera for the rear of the car was an even bigger bonus than what I was thinking I was going to get. The Camera is great in recording and was super easy to install, and get the app on my phone to check viewing angles. The camera has been in my car for about 4 months now and has survived 4 1200+ mile roadtrips trough a bunch of different weather. If it can put up with TX Summer it’ll survive almost anything you throw at it.

Difficult to set up
Keep in mind, I’m not great at technology, but I’m nowhere near bad. Physically setting it up is very easy, but actually getting it to work is another story. I ordered the 256GB micro SD that was suggested, just to find out I have to format it and there’s nothing to plug into my computer to format it. I have a Macbook, so it doesn’t have a slot for micro SD cards or regular SD cards, so then I had to order this white boxy thing to plug into my computer so I could actually format the card. In the end, I’m not even positive it’s set up properly, the app is not very intuitive. I also couldn’t begin to figure out how to use the hardwire stuff or whatever it’s called, but I also read that I may need to bring it to a mechanic so they can install it.UPDATE: App still doesn’t work properly and the 365 GB microSD card doesn’t work (the one they literally recommended to buy). The card isn’t the issue, my computer says it’s perfectly fine before I put it in the camera, but when I check later for footage it says error. I even tried a new microSD card and nothing. Fortunately, the 64 GB microSD card it came with works fine, it’s still very irritating though. I’ve also since discovered it’s not a good idea to hardwire the dashcam to my car, so NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO USE THE HARDWIRE: I spoke to a mechanic and they explained that wiring it up that way would mean my car’s battery drains faster. To put it in perspective, he said that if I happened to leave town for the weekend and my car was sitting there for a few days, it could be dead by the time I get back. So as someone who doesn’t drive a ton, that wasn’t awesome to hear, especially since I already bought the hardwire kit… If I had the option of going back in time and picking a different one, I definitely would, it’s just not worth the money for the hassle you get.

Impressive quality
Front is impressive quality. Pretty close to the escort dash cam. However, the rest needs help in the night time. Would like an option to get a higher quality rear cam even if it cost more.

Provides peace of mind for accidents and theft
Bought this because I got into an accident recently and the other person was super shady. I unfortunately didn’t have any good proof or a third party witness so it became a he-said she-said situation. Anyways, got this as backup the next time anything happens to me.The installation was not too difficult. I am not exactly a car person so if I can do it, most people should be able to imo. If you follow the qr code provided in the pamphlet in addition to the user manual / instructions, it takes you to an instructional video that was super helpful and easy to follow. I recommend hiding the cables/wires by removing the panels and tucking them in the trim rather than running it along the top edge. It looks more seamless that way. The size of this dashcam suited my purpose since I didn’t want a bulky one with a screen, which to me is totally unnecessary since I can see everything from the app/on my phone. This one tucks nicely behind my rear view mirror and the rear cam is also not too obtrusive.Now this is my first dashcam so to me, the quality of the video looks pretty clear. Haven’t had any problems capturing license plates and the night vision works surprisingly well. But then again I haven’t tested it in a scenario where there is absolutely zero street lights. Most of the time there is some ambient light somewhere and the exposure sensitivity of the camera does a good job capturing what I can see with my eyes.Oh also this cam is handy for me not just in the case of accidents but in the case of theft because I drive in a car that tends to get hit a lot. With the rise of catalytic converter thefts, I have gotten a bit paranoid and like that this dash cam has a parking monitor and the angle of the lens is wide enough to capture most people that pass by. While there are minor blind spots, it would be hard for someone to approach without being partially captured. It isn’t foolproof but it does give me at least an added layer of security.All in all, I like this product so far. Not sure about the construction quality and longevity but will update should anything happens. There supposedly is technical and customer support offered for at least 1 year so we will see if they will honor that should the device start glitching.

I like it
Pros:Type-C Port: Unlike all cams in the market, this one utilizes a type-c port to get power. I find it very convenient since I can simply use the same cable in which I charge my phone during driving instead of the traditional cable which is hard to find and not convenient to use at all.Package Content: It included many mounting accessories, I didn’t go through the trouble of buying them individually. You can basically mount it to anything using the provided adapters and mounts.Natural colors: I noticed that the cam reflects the natural and actual colors instead of washed away or oversaturated colors in some cheap cams.Mounts: I like that they provided 2 adhesive mounts, this way I’m able to move the cam to another cam without needing to remove the mount in the first car, which is hard to remove since it’s adhesive and more permanent.Sound: Exceptional sound capabilities. Other dash cams generate too much noise it’s just unbearable, I often end up muting them. This one is able to capture even conversations and very clearly.Plug & play (kind of): Comes with everything you need to get it to start recording (including a slow SD card), however, you need to download an app to use it fully.Daytime: Day footage is above average and provides a good amount of details especially for nearby objects.Cons:No Screen: You can’t make full use of it until you install an app on a phone since it doesn’t have a screen.Focus: Only focuses on nearby objects, meaning it may recognize nearby license plates but not the far ones.Night vision: Since it only focuses on nearby objects, the far background is blurred so you get a lot of the bokeh affect which can be annoying.

pretty damn good, but with a few issues
the dashcam was simple to set up and install into my car and the footage on it is great. fair warning: the required micro sd card doesnt come with the dashcam and the instructions are poorly translated to english.my problems with the cam are minor, technical issues. for example, the app is quite outdated and doesnt look great. if i want to access the current footage or any past footage, i have to be connected to the dashcam’s wifi, which means i have to be in my car, start it, connect to the wifi, and THEN i can see it. its quite inconvenient to say the least.the product also claims to always be recording, but the only footage i can find is when my car is on. i can only hope that the g sensor will save the recording if my car gets hit while parked.all in all, for the $67 that i bought this with, im pretty happy with the extra layer of security i get when driving (and MAYBE when im not?), but there are definitely better, more reliable, and easier to navigate dashcams out there. if youre willing to put down an extra $30-50, itll definitely be worth it for the peace of mind and better app interface. if not, im sure youll still be happy with what this product provides.

The media could not be loaded.
I upgraded due to a old bad qualify dash cam. This. visoe was shared with all involved in the accidnet. Officer was shocked about quality that he asked for the link.THE DOWNFALLThe videos can only be accessed immediately of car is on. If it’s off or you would like to connect to view vidoes, there’s only 2 options.1. removed SD card and insert to SD reader to pull vidoes2. REQUIRED Must utilze the wifi for Okcar to access this method. Wait in the car with it on and search through vidoes ad download to phone.

Very happy with it
I was skeptical about not having a display on the dash cam, but I bought two anyway. I’m pleasantly surprised and actually relieved that I don’t have to deal with the small display and horrible settings menu. This got me thinking how displays on dash cams are next to useless. They’re tiny and there really is no point other than to use the menu. To add to that, the menu system on dash cams hasn’t changed in ten years or more. Every single dash camera on the market has the same horrible menu and same tiny, clumsy buttons. This one avoids all that mess and makes use of technology that is better. Imagine that.The Wi-Fi connection is very stable, and the OKCar Android app is solid. Way more than I can say about the countless other cameras I’ve had with Wi-Fi. I’ve had my phone connected using the app while the cam is recording for an hour with zero drops. Having the settings inside the app makes life so easy, and the clock on the cam automatically syncs with your phone’s time when the app connects to it.Video quality is very good, as is the night quality. I can’t complain. I’m very happy with it.Time will tell the reliability of the cameras, but they do have a default 1-year warranty. If I have to take advantage of that, we’ll see how the customer service is. I will say that with the notes I have sent them for other reasons, they have been very responsive.

Good dash cam with smaller footprint
I bought this dash cam for my 2000 Honda Insight as I have started driving the car more often than before. I hardwired it for protection while parked and I also installed the rear camera. The camera has Wifi and you can monitor all the functions using your cellphone which is convenient. I just wish I could turn on or off the camera (or program on/off) when it is parked. I will try to explain the consequence that may be problematic. The camera always will be recording after the ignition is off and you leave the car. You cannot program it not to record when parked when it is hardwired. This might drain the battery on certain occasions depending on battery status and length of recording. Unlike another similar camera (different brand from Amazon, slightly more expensive with GPS), you have to manually turn off the camera before getting out of the car. I bought this camera instead of the other one exclusively to save a few $$ – well, you get what you pay for… I recommend this unit if you have good discipline (only if you hardwire it) and want to save money.

Kind of a pain but works
I’ve had all too many cams in my cars over the years but none yet had two cams working together (one in front and one for the rear) and none I could view directly on my phone this has much more ability to record on the web and on a card I bought mine when it was half price. I would not buy another one at full price again. Setup was the pain in the ace but I got through it and I am happy with the results.

Great dash cam for peace of mind
I had previously already purchased this dash cam for myself, and was so satisfied with it that I decided to purchase one for my friend’s new car as well. As a new driver, she feels so much more at ease now with a dash cam in her car, knowing that if an accident happens, she will have proof of who is at fault. Installation was easy even for someone installing a car accessory for the first time. A crowbar as well as cable clips were provided so she was able to hide the wires perfectly, routing the cord through the passenger door side. Downloading the app and connecting it to the dash cam by joining the dash cam’s wifi was a breeze as well, and the app is extremely easy to navigate. This is definitely a great gift for any driver!

Easy set up
I ordered this camera because of crazy drivers and wierd stuff always happening. I have used the camera for about a week. This is my first Car Cam and I am not a Tech girl yet I was able to set up the front and rear camera easily. It took me about 45 minutes. I watched the Ytube video’s which helped a lot. The camera comes on automatically when I start the car and the video’s are available when my trip is over. The only thing I dont like is that I have to be sitting in my car, within the camera’s wifi to view the video’s. Also, there is no live view when you are away from your car. For the price point, it will serve its purpose.

Love it!
I know nothing about vehicles so I was apprehensive about the install but it was super easy! Great video quality. I bought this because my son is learning to drive and we have tons of crazy drivers here so I wanted some protection just for safety! When he gets his license and his own vehicle I will be ordering another for his car.

Best value dash cam on the market right now
Tried several dashcams and this one proved to be the best one and it came at a low price too. The app is intuitive, they even give you a free SD card which many expensive brands don’t do.The recording quality is great and low light is alright.Cable is long enough and it comes with hangers.No shut downs because of heat.And one of the main reasons I chose this is that it’s easy to hide behind my rearview mirror so I never even notice it.If you’re looking for a great dash cam with a good price this is your best bet.

Okay for the price
I commute from a fairly rural area to a small city north of Dallas, so my travel time can easily be two hours per day. Between early afternoon traffic and pitch black conditions after work, I thought it would be prudent to have video of some of the things that happen along the way. I’d debated about it for awhile but after several close calls, in a short amount of time, I decided to narrow down my search and get one quickly.I found this one on sale, and it even had a coupon so a double win! Once I got it, it took me a few days to open the box and look at everything before deciding to just go for it and muddle through the installation. So, I only have the front camera installed, via the cigarette lighter, but will try to update once I get the rear camera installed and everything hooked up through the hardwire kit that I bought separately. The installation of the camera itself is pretty straightforward and easy to do. The SD chip fits where it needs to, no chance of messing that up. It’s the app that caused the most difficulty. It took several tries to get it to start the syncing process, and a few more attempts for it to format the card and prepare everything to record. Honestly, there was a point that I almost said forget it. However, with a bit of help and patience borrowed from my son, we finally got it going.So, on the surface everything looks good. You’ll only have visual of what you see directly out your windshield and over your hood – there’s no expanded degree angles, what you see immediately in front is what you get. Also, at night, any lights will show up as blurred starbursts so don’t expect a clear picture if there are bright lights around. I’m not sure if there’s anything that can help cut through the glare, but at the moment it is what it is.It periodically stops recording and the only way you know, is it will tell you it’s starting up and then say when it’s recording – this is the standard message you hear when you initially plug it in, or when you start your car if it’s already plugged in. Honestly, that’s what really annoys me. If I’m on the road, I don’t want it to stop recording for any reason unless I disconnect it. Or at least let me know the recording stopped! This is an issue I’m hoping will be rectified when I install the hardwire kit.The playback is fluid, just don’t try to make a clip while in the app on your phone as it slows it down and is a bit clunky. If you try to download the video, good luck – it’s extremely slow. However, you can take the SD card out and play it on your computer. I used an MP4 video player on my computer instead of downloading their app because I was hoping I could go through the videos quickly. I had mixed results with that, but it was most likely my own inexperience that slowed things down.So, for a simple dash cam that you can set up for just a record on case of a wreck, it’s okay. If you’re hoping for something to either catch someone sideswiping you, or even an interesting clip to post on some social media site in hopes of being the next viral sensation, this one isn’t it.Basic, with an intermittent reliabily problem, but decent daytime recording. Probably a good one to start out, if you’re not sure what you really want.

Great quality product
I just purchased the T5 model focuway dashcam. Easy to install and navigate thru their app. Front and rear camera videos are clear when viewed. The most amazing with the product seller is that they are giving extended warranty up to 2yrs which is amazing!.

Enhanced Vigilance on the Road
Incorporating a Dual Dash Cam with 4K Front and Rear capabilities has significantly upgraded my driving experience. This advanced device not only ensures comprehensive coverage but also captures every detail with stunning clarity.The standout feature is the 4K resolution for both front and rear cameras. This provides unparalleled clarity, making it easier to discern license plates, road signs, and other crucial details in the footage.

Fantastic Dash Cam so far
This camera provides a super detailed image even at night. It has a wider tonal range than other cameras I’ve used which helps at night. I also like the super capacitor instead of a Li-Ion battery. I know this camera can withstand a hot day with my sunshade up in my black car with a black interior. I put my sunshade up with my last dash cam on a hot day and it overheated and died. The battery started swelling inside.I thought the lack of a screen would bother me, but the app is really good, and the voice prompts let me know it’s working properly. It’s actually nice because it’s very low profile and doesn’t get in my field of vision while I’m driving.We’ll see how it holds up over time!

Revised: Looks great & works!
Thought that the device didn’t work, but apparently it does – only with the supplied cable. Although it uses a USB-C connector, the device is soooo picky about the supplied power, that it will not work when connected to my laptop’s usb-c port or any other usb-c power cord that I have. This sort of defeats the purpose of having a USB-C interface! That said, the device powered up just fine after connecting the 12V to USB-C adapter provided in the box. Have not yet checked the video quality of any recordings, but will update review after doing so.

Nicew Replacement
I was leery of having a Wi-Fi only dashcam and so far I am happy with it. I had to dedicate an old cellphone for this camera since my car’s hotspot kept stealing the Wi-Fi connection. The manufacturer warned about this issue so I was warned. One thing that needs to be pointed out is the choice of upgrading the included SD card. Don’t buy cheap like I did. All you will get are corrupted videos. The manufacturer suggests two kinds but if you want to upgrade the SD card buy the higher quality ones like Samsung Pro or San Disk Extreme. These can be found on Amazon. There are others so look around and do your homework. I recommend this dashcam.

Nice dashcam – super capacitor + no display thus not heavy
I wanted a super capacitor based dashcam (due to safety + no lost image) and also no-display attached one. The display makes the overall weight heavy and it requires a suction cup that will eventually fail. I am ok to see the image over my phone. This product meets the requirements. Good quality image and very light. The attaching mechanism is very good, thus I can even move it w/o any issue. Nice dashcam. I bought two and will buy one more.

Easier on your smart phone
This is a very good product. This gives you every thing you need. Easy to install, Camera features are controlled from your phone, including formatting micro card. Down loading files are simple or pull the card and use your desktop for searching files. I mounted my camera on a Chevy pick up and for the rear camera you will want to mount on the top of the window in the rear.

Impressed so far!
I just installed this dash cam and it’s pretty great so far. I also got the hardwire kit for the T5…there’s one specifically made for this camera so be sure to get that one. I would definitely recommend the hardwire kit. I previously had two different Rexing front and rear cameras. Despite costing over $200 each both of them broke after a year of use! The manufacturer of this camera gives a 2-year warranty if you register the product. Given the much lower cost of this product, I’m very happy with a 2-year warranty.Good:1. Price…can’t beat the price of this unit for the quality you get.2. The camera is slim and mounts discretely to the windshield.3. They provide sheets of electrostatic film which you mount to the windshield and them mount the camera to the film. I thought this was a nice touch and will make it much easier to remove the camera in the future if needed.4. I like the app. I see some negative reviews about the app but so far it’s working great. The password for the camera Wi-Fi is in the instruction booklet…that took me some time to figure out but once I did everything worked fine.5. All settings are controlled in the app. I find this setup much easier than trying to scroll through a camera menu.6. Using the hardwire kit allows you to record 24/7. This is a great option if you want to record while parked. To turn this option off and just record when the car is on you have to turn on “Parking Mode” in the app. This turns off the camera when the car is off but it will turn on the camera if it detects an accident.7. I checked a couple recordings and the video quality is great. I could easily read license plates. Those videos were daytime and I haven’t checked nighttime quality yet.Bad.1. The front camera does not pivot so depending on the angle of your windshield it can be tough to position the camera in the proper angle. I had to position mine at the very top of the windshield in order to not get too much of the hood in the frame. The rear camera pivots so no issue there.Overall, I’m very satisfied with this camera and would recommend it!Disclaimer: The company offered me a coupon in exchange for a review. The above comments are my honest opinions but I just wanted to disclose that I am receiving a coupon.

Great
The assembly was actually easier than expected. The quality was really clear and it was easy to understand the functions. It also came with a SD card, so I didn’t need to buy another one.

Good for the Price
One thing I liked about this dashcam was the video quality. The quality was good during both day and night, although there is room for improvement as it sometimes blurs the video randomly. The camera is good for the price. The build quality is decent too. However, it did take me some time to set it up. Overall, I am satisfied with the dash cam as it does the job. I would recommend buying it.

Nice dash cam with phone app
I have a dash camera which I like a lot, and this is a second one for another car.When I got the package, I was happy because it was well wrapped and new. There are one front dash cam and a rear cam, cords and installation accessories in the package. I am impressed by the electrostatic films that prevent to leave glue on windshield. This is very considerable.After reading the manual, I followed instructions and found a YouTube channel that provides all information and details of installation and use, and the videos are in English with subtitles, which are very helpful.The dash cam also comes with TF card so ready to go without additional purchases.I am very happy about this purchase.

Nice dash cam
Ordered this at 40 percent off and the reviews were on point. Pros: small, wires are easy to hide, good picture view and clarity. Cons: interface frequently bought section the wire kit is wrong. The correct one is FOCUWAY T5/ T5 Pro/ T6/ T6E Model. Also to connect through the app they use the internet connection and not a Bluetooth. Is that a big deal? Probably not but it slows the connection process. Bought 2 and will buy again if needed. If folks would drive like they are supposed to I wouldn’t have needed this. Nice to know I have this incase things happen and things end up in a legal issue.

Great Dash Cam
This dash cam has great quality! I love that it was so easy to install and and that the app is simple enough to use. It comes with all the paperwork that has detailed instructions on how to install and it also has links to YouTube videos if you are more of a visual person. So far this dashcam is a 10/10 great purchase!

Smart camera
I have always wanted to buy a dash cam for my husband because we don’t park the car in the garage. I feel we need a camera just in case.but my husband is a very picky person, and he feels that installing a dash cam will messy up his car. This product is very small so it can be well hidden in the rearview mirror. Another great thing about this recorder is that it is super easy to assemble. It took me less than half an hour to install it. I can’t conpain anything for this price. The recorded picture is very clear. Even at night it is good. It can be voice controlled also. So far I am quite satisfied .
