(NEW) REDTIGER Front Rear 4K/2.5K Full HD Dash Camera

Secondary edit: I'm giving them an extra star for their fantastic customer service (none of this was promised for the low low price of a 5 star review) It's the kind that keeps you loyal. They didn't blame me for anything I misread (such as stupidly installing the rear camera sideways and complaining about that. A hinge is NOT needed. Just make sure you install it the right side up. The camera can be fully rotated. Look in your car if you want.) They refunded the hardwire kit and got me one that uses the OBD port since my cars fuse box setup is awful. They have a model that can be tilted up/down and side to side. They got me that to try. I am now able to see the whole road, and was able to put the camera even further over so it's not smack dab in the face of my passenger. Another thing I like that I forgot to point out is that they come with these clear sheets that go on the window before the adhesive. Makes it easier to get off and doesn't leave a sticky film behind. The hinge I got left a mess and friggin lifted a bit of my window tint -_- Luckily you can't tell from the outside unless you know and can't see it in the car cause it's up high. Still super upset. I had zero issues like that removing the cameras to change them. I don't know if other cameras come with higher camera quality. There's probably some super expensive ones that do. But this is good enough you will be able to see the license if anyone rear ends you or if something happens and you rear end someone. I can't attest to the setting that makes it so if you're in an accident, or more importantly if you're hardwired, make it start recording to catch who sideswiped you in the night for example, and locks the video so it can't be recorded over. I will say I VERY honestly would like to never be able to review that setting. Edit: the camera does show license plates in front of you, just not super far, as I misread in the listing. So if there's an incident you at least get that. I've been informed that the camera has a large temperature range, including over 150° F, so it should be fine within the car. Customer service is super good. Either they use a much better translator, or it the person isn't using Google translate. There were no offers made to encourage a star change, just offers to make things better, and point out parts of the listing I misread. Which considering many bad reviews I read were about things mentioned in the listing, I am plenty guilty of as well. Will come back later with edits if needed. Firstly, if your want 24/7 recording, the listing mentions you need the attachment that connects to the fuse box, rather than the cigarette lighter. And luckily the attachment comes with a voltage meter, so it shouldn't drain your battery. Concerned that it runs so hot. It's still winter so it's running in the 60s outside right now and it's quite warm to the touch. I'd hate to know how it'll be when the weather is 100 outside. I don't like that you have to be in the car pretty much to access the cameras files, but I will give, it makes sense. It can't connect to your phone when you're quite far from it. The reason it bothers me is if someone breaks into the car and takes the memory card, you're screwed on footage. Alas. One thing I'm docking for is the picture quality. It's not nearly as good as it claims to be. It wasn't able to see the license plate of the neighbor across the street. Besidess that, the quality is pretty clear. You can change the videos to record in either 1, 3 or 5 minute clips. It records two separate videos for the front and rear camera. Another issue I have with it is while the front camera can be adjusted to look higher or lower, it can't be rotated to the sides. At least not easily. I'm really pushing the suction cup to get it to see my side of the car better. In it's defence, they expect you to attach it behind your rear view, and I can't as my car has a giant, I dunno, thing, behind it. (I think it's the housing for the front camera) So I had to put it more on the passenger side. So I won't fault them too much there. I will fault them for the lack of adjustiblity of the rearview camera. I have no clue why, but Ford Fusions have the STEEPEST rear window I have ever seen. So right now it's looking at the clouds. I have purchased a hinge to be able to adjust its view. Shouldn't need to buy an extra part for the thing. (Then again you shouldn't have to pay 20 bucks to hook it up to the fuse box either.) Anyway, we'll see how it goes.
