" ... Bought this dash cam after reading numerous reviews on this and many others. ... "
" ... I would prefer to see "Car Windshield Suction Cup Mount" which is able set not only to the up and down, but also to the left and right (that is needed when you sometimes want to capture the person who is staying near the driver or passenger door without unplugging device from the mount). ...

" ... First of all the build quality of this dash cam is great. ... I really like the look of it, It makes this dash cam inconspicuous. ... I am so happy with this dash cam. ... "

" ... - Good quality video day and night on front camera ... "
" ... The quality of the camera is not diminish at night, it is still crystal clear thanks to the super night vision and Sony sensor feature that “automatically balance the exposures to pick up greater detail in the dark” even with a bit of rain : ) . ... "
" ... During the day the footage of the back is usable as it is clear but at night it isn't as there is no night vision on the rear camera. ... "

" ... When I took the cam out of the box, I was really impressed with how solid and well built it felt. ... "
" ... The camera is easy to mount and sturdy so it won’t dislodge, but it can still be rotated to align to preference. ... "
" ... Straight away from opening it, this dashcam is a quality build, it feels good and also looks quite interesting with the jet engine design, definitely blends in with the car, however, this looks more like an aesthetic focused design rather than it being built like this on purpose. ... "
" ... The camera looks and feels robust and has a quality feel to it. ... "
" ... Great video quality, strong body construction. ... "
" ... The made materials are surprisingly great premium look, not just cheap glossy plastic made like others I used to have. ... "

" ... However for the rear camera, obviously you will see more of the interior of the car than the outside. ... "
" ... Fantastic compact device giving you the flexibility of forward facing cam only or cabin cam too. ... "
" ... Front and back cams on the same device is nice solution, especially when you need to have inside view. ... "
" ... HAS A REAR VIEW CAMERA AS WELL. ... "
" ... With its 1080p 30fps front camera (which you can reduce to 720p in settings to fit more footage on the sd card at a time) its clear and number plates are legible very clearly during the day. ... "
" ... The rear facing camera also means that should someone run into the back of you then you can prove it wasn't your fault. ... "
" ... Dual Cam Recording: (Front) 1440x1080P/30fps, (Rear) 1280x720P/30fps ... "

" ... Quick and easy connection to computer with included cable makes viewing of the videos simple and so easy. ... "
" ... The cable provided is good length which is very useful. ... "
" ... The cable that comes in the box is more than long enough to run all the way around the outside of the trim of the windscreen to keep the cable tucked away neatly. ... "
" ... Something really cool we’re the adhesive cable clips, they’re useful. ... "
" ... 1 x ODB Cable ... I like that the suction mount has a power connector, as you can easily remove the camera from the mount without having to unplug cables. ... The ODB cable is also a great idea, especially if you want to make use of the Wave Guard Parking Monitor. ... I also like that the cable is more flat than round, which would make it easier to route around your car. ... "
" ... Cable is nice and long, reaches right around a cross over sized SUV meaning you can hide it behind trim so that you can’t even tell it’s installed, as the camera is quite small it hides neatly behind the rear mirror. ... "
" ... Wire is nice and long to feed round my car and hide it away! ... "

" ... The notable features of the rear of the device is the 2.0” screen which makes navigating the onscreen menu’s nice and easy and to the left of the screen is the OK and emergency video lock button. ... "
" ... Its highly customisable and you can switch the screen of the camera to front, back or both. ... "
" ... Accessing footage - You have a few options here - you can view the video on the screen, which is quite small so not usable if you want to see anything in detail. ... "
" ... I also like the fact that it has auto LCD off, the screen automatically turns off few minutes after initial recording, this feature enables me to concentrate on my driving and not be disturbed by its glow, a ++ for me. ... "
" ... Good constructive quality with grip cover and clear screen on back. ... "
" ... Easy to clip and unclip from the housing so that I don't have to leave it on display when the car is unattended. ... "
GPS

" ... The international GPS system also allows you to see your own speed on the video. ... "
" ... GPS and speed require the additional gps mount so I took those off and as shown in the (edited) night screenshots you can add the full registration plate of the vehicle its fitted to. ... "
" ... Although I do feel that for the price, the GPS mount (available separately), should have been included in the package. ... "
" ... - GPS is Additional (havent tried it) ... "
" ... I would also recommend adding the GPS mount for speed and location info which I intend to do now I have this excellent system installed! ... "
" ... Because of the price I think it should come with GPS mount as some cheaper dashcam do. ... "
" ... It's great and works perfectly with the GPS mount. ... "
" ... I would recommend getting a GPS mount, as well as a hardwire kit. ... "
Ports

" ... It comes supplied with a mount and a power/usb cables, however as it uses a micro usb connection its easy to swap if you currently have an older cam and are upgrading, which I did in this case. ... "
" ... It has a built-in charging port that makes running the power cable discretely very easy. ... "
" ... 1 x USB Cable ... I like the design of the included 12v power adapter, as you can slide a cover on the top of the plug to reveal a USB port, which is very handy if you only have 1 x 12v socket in your car, this allow you to connect the dashcam and still charge your phone at the same time. ... "
" ... You can disconnect the whole camera from the windscreen mount and connect it to your laptop using the Mini USB cable provided, which allows you to access the files just like a USB stick, or you can leave the whole camera on your dashboard, taking just the Micro SD card, and put that into your laptop directly if you have a port, or using a usb-adapter, and access the files just like a USB stick. ... "
" ... I also was happy to see that the usb connections are the older Mini Usb and not the fragile Micro usb which are so easy to break and which makes this camera a vastly more robust choice. ... USB Port: USB 2.0, Mini ... "
" ... The power connector fits into the cigarette lighter and has USB port so you can charge another device as well – this is very handy. ... "
" ... Got there in the end with the help of there support team, had to purchase mini hdmi cable tried to put sd card into laptop it did not work kept saying corupt files may be its the lap top its old, anyway it works great via hdmi cable, good clear picture and sound. ... "

" ... The T2 has all of the features that you would expect from such a device, including automatic switch on and record with the ignition and a G-Sensor to automatically lock video clips in the event of a collision. ... It also has a couple of extra features that I haven’t had with other models – these include WaveGuard, which can be switched on and sends microwave signals outside of the car when parked and will record when it detects motion. ...
