Pros: •Mine was on sale for ~$30(see Cons)
•Captures 720p resolution video(see Cons)
•Mounts to windshield(see Cons)
•Turns on & starts recording automatically(see Cons)
•IR LEDs (-sigh- again, see Cons)

Cons: •I don't think I've ever seen 720p resolution look so bad! I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it was actually just a horribly up-scaled rendition of one of the lower resolutions. And what the devil is the 1080p resolution doing in the menu if it's not supported?! Still, WHY would it be selectable(yes, believe it or not) when it doesn't work?! >:(
•It mounts to the windshield but there's no quick release of the camera. You can either take down the entire fixture, or unscrew the cam from it. Either way, you're gonna have to fiddle with it to get the positioning back where you want it. Our GPS unit came with such a mount but has a quick release so you pop it out, take it, & leave the mount where it is.
•The advertising(or it's the manual, don't remember atm) talks about how it starts up automatically when you start your car. Well, that's assuming(& we know what happens when we ASSUME) that the power to the cig-lighters in your car isn't always ON, in which case you have to unplug the 'car adapter' & then wait like 10-20 seconds while it realizes that it's no longer got power.
Speaking of automatic, the motion activation is reTARDedly slow(yes, that was redundant).
•The unit turns on automatically when it gets power, in the car or elsewhere, AND YOU CAN'T TURN IT OFF UNTIL IT'S IN BATTERY MODE AGAIN! This means it's constantly in use WHILE charging! Maybe that's why mine died a couple weeks ago. First it's power on image got weirdly bugged, which wouldn't be fixed by Factory Resetting it, THEN it failed to work properly with the SD card, saying data was corrupted or some such error, THEN it just wouldn't turn on. That last bit turned out to be the pathetic positioning of the battery in the unit. It can slide JUST a tad to the rear and cease contact with the leads, thus resulting in an "instant off".
•While unit was "working", those 6 IR LEDs(1 of which was not properly aligned) could be set to OFF, or AUTO(on when detects low light situation, off when too bright for it). No option to stay ON. AUTO option turned into ON later but it still functioned just like AUTO and so would BLINK on and off when it was dark and it was pointed at something close enough to be too bright. SUCH horrible, basic design. AND, as another reviewer mentioned, the LEDs are ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS for night-time driving. ANYTHING that's beyond 2-3 FEET away STILL fails to be visible with "help" from the LEDs. Honestly, they seem like nothing but worthless selling points, put there in an attempt to give it some level of legitimacy. It's OFF THE CHARTS on my "Pathetic-ness" scale.
•$49.99? AND pay for shipping?! Normally $149.99?!?! SUCH CROCKERY! NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE right-minded person would pay that much for something with such piddly 'features' that's not FULL HD (at least 1080p). And IF someone did, they'd be returning it ASAP after seeing its poor manufacturing and pathetic performance. For that price we expect WAY better.

Other Thoughts: ...That crossed out price is just one more bit to make you think you're getting a great deal on something that's not worth even a quarter of that. I got mine for just under $30 and regret it whole-heartedly!
•The Battery, before the unit died(meaning it couldn't use SD card, which checked out in my system just FINE afterward) slowly lost its ability to hold a charge and, in the month before its death, constantly needed it's date/time reconfigured, which was ASLO a PAIN to get done. The buttons where HORRIBLE. -facepalm-
•Absolutely disgusted. -_- Honestly, there's not a single PRO to owning this thing that doesn't have some CON to it making you wish you'd NOT spent your hard earned money on someone else's garbage.
•The capacity of these text boxes is insufficient to hold all the horrible words I'd use to describe the bitter feelings of contempt I feel when I think about the gigantic gap between the expectations they give you on the pages where they sell this trash, and the experience I've had with said trash.
•I've been writing this review off and on since within the first month of purchasing it (purchased ~2/3 thru September last year)
•Mind Blown.

Pros: Works as advertised. Decent picture where there is enough light. Records sound with video. Mount makes positive grip on windshield. Battery backup and 32 GB SD card capacity. Video screen rotates so you can record "selfie."

Cons: So far, poor low light performance. Setup is not intuitive, but figured it out. ON/OFF switch seem to only work in battery mode. Stays on as long as power is applied through the USB port. Windows couldn't find drivers for the USB device, no support found yet but will keep looking. The "door" cover for the USB port is a long piece of thin plastic and flops out loose from one end whenever the USB or power chord is plugged in. Likely it will break off in time. The field of view, as one review notes, is somewhat narrow, more like a "normal" lens than wide angle. Good enough for the purpose I suppose.

Other Thoughts: I bought two of these because the price was low enough to experiment. I guess I'm satisfied they can be useful, if a bit quirky in operation. OK so I didn't read the instructions, small print. Forging ahead, I inserted the battery, plugged in the USB to a computer and it came on and started recording. One can press the button to the right of the on/off button and it will stop. Controls consist of the on/off button, an un-marked button to the right of that, and on the screen bezel, "Menu" button to open the two-page menu, the up/down buttons and the "Mode" button to select menu items. Pressing "mode" will toggle between menu pages. One page controls operation, the second is for setup. Up and down buttons select features. Pressing the button to the right of the on/off button then selects within the menu and sets the selection. I guess that is the "OK" button since it is not marked. Will read instructions to see. Planted the camera on the windshield this AM for the drive to work with no initial setup. It recorded in short files. There doesn't appear to be any drop in time between the end of one file and beginning of another. There are interval choices and a "continuous" on/off choice. The on/off power button seems only to work when on the battery. Whenever external power via the USB cable, or car-power chord is plugged in (both fit to the USB jack on the device) the camera is "on." You can stop it from recording by pressing the (unmarked) button to the right of the power button. If you select the motion sensor "on" feature, it will start recording on any motion whenever plugged in to a power source...no turning it off. It came set to PAL for TV playback. You have to go to the menu to change it to NTSC. Likely that is why Windows Media Player froze after playing a few minutes (from card inserted in a reader). For an inexpensive dash-cam it can be made to work and does what it is advertised to do. No AV cable is supplied, it uses an earphone like plug for video out. The video is pretty sharp as long as you have sufficient light. You wouldn't use it to record your family vacation. More when I either read the instructions or get more experience with it.

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Works like a web camera. Field of view is narrow, barely gets directly in front of car. IR lights do not help at all during nighttime. Camera does not seem to work well at night on view screen. Never played back video with brightness altered to see if you could see anything but without touching it I could only vaguely make out shapes. Seems like video detector is not very sensitive to light.

Other Thoughts: You could probably get the same field of view and performance from a web cam mounted on your windshield. Of course then you would need something to record the video so this is a cheaper solution. Basically pay the $80 or so for a decent car cam is the lesson learned here.
Also the shipping was delayed by a week with no notice as to why by the supplier. I had to contact Newegg to investigate why and they promptly shipped the item without comment.

Pros: Does everything the advertising said it would do. Good product

Cons: Instructions are severely lacking, owner must have access to someone familiar with electronic merchandise.

Other Thoughts: I like the product. Took me a while to decode how to access all its features but that once done, it is a worthy product. I recommend it

Pros: None, the buttons were non responsive out of the box. Could never do anything with it. Asked for a replacement using the web interface and never heard anything back! It's ok they got me for 30 bucks, they wont get another dime.

Cons: The whole deal was garbage, the item, the website and the dealer!

Pros: When I got it to work, it filmed excellent footage.

Cons: Trouble getting it to work and I stopped trying to use it. The instructions are very hard to understand and very poorly written. When I get more time I am going to try it again.

Pros: when i got the item it looks good but the language is not English i cant even read it and the rec button if u click it nothings happened it don't start or stop the recording

Cons: i liked it its cheap
