Overall, I couldn't be happier. For the price, the quality and what you get, this product definitely earns 5 stars.
I got no discount or incentive to purchase this camera. I purchased two of them after reading the reviews and am very happy with both.
Update 9/10/20. About 18 months into ownership of the cameras my wife was almost hit head on by someone texting and drifting across traffic lanes. She was terribly upset when she got home. Once she composed herself and told me what happened I thought no sweat, I'll get the footage from the camera and we'll be able to report the issue to the police. I pulled the sd card and plugged it into my pc, then found that the camera has several files on it that were about four months old. There was one file that was dated way before I purchased the cameras (01/01/80 I believe). Anyway, the battery had died in the camera and every time the truck was started, it continuously overwrote the same file because it lost its date. There was no footage of the incident because the camera had been overwriting the same file every time the truck was started for about 4 months. It even overwrote the incident on her way home. Needless to say, the camera proved useless when I really needed it. I can no longer recommend this camera.
If you need a dash cam, bypass this one and get a camera with gps so that if the battery dies, the gps signal will update the date every time the camera boots up.
Update Jan 2019: I'm downgrading this product from 5 to 2 stars because of durability and reliability problems. The unit has three times required a reset to get it working again. The date/time is not held reliably, and when this happens it is almost impossible to find a video on the micro sd card. It's also quite possible that what you need to find was overwritten while some garbage from months ago is still there - all because the unit uses date/time to decide what survives. Yesterday there was a big incident in front of me, I needed the video to report dangerous driving. After an hour of hunting, I could not find it and concluded it was either overwritten or not even recorded. Because of this, a dangerous moron goes unreported. I now need to replace these garbage units - which worked well for about 10-12 months because they went into worthless mode.
