A hugely popular, inexpensive front-and-rear kit with clear daytime 4K, an easy setup and a good app. Tom's Guide found its night video poor, and some Amazon owners report it stopping randomly or dropping Wi-Fi.
Parking mode / hardwire kit: Sold separately for about $30, needed for parked-car collision recording (Tom's Guide)
Top complaints
- Poor night video
Tom's Guide found there's no real night vision: off well-lit roads it only records the strip lit by your headlights, and neither camera could pick out plates at night when moving.
- Stops recording at random
Amazon's review summary says owners report reliability issues, with the camera stopping on and off randomly.
- Wi-Fi connection hiccups
Amazon owners are mixed on Wi-Fi, with some reporting connection issues. Tom's Guide says Android resists staying on the camera's no-internet network until you override a prompt.
What owners love
- Clear video for the price
Amazon owners call the video crystal clear and well worth the price. Tom's Guide could read signs and plates by day, though the 1080p rear camera blurs distant details.
- Easy to set up and use
Tom's Guide found setup extremely easy and the app excellent; Amazon owners find the app intuitive and the menus easy to follow.
- Flexible rear camera and strong mount
The rear camera rotates to watch the road or the cabin, has a 21-foot cable with clips and tools, and the locking suction mount holds very firmly (Tom's Guide).

What experts say
- Tom's Guide: 3 of 5 stars ('also tested' in its roundup): solid with enough ambient light, but its night vision is 'practically non-existent'. Its cons also include a distracting preview screen and loud voice prompts that are on by default.
