" ... i may have been sent a defective product because ive tried everything, including turning off the camera and inserting the 35 gb SD card. ... "

" ... They show the ad with the camera in use with no power cord. ... The cord needs to be attached to the camera for use . ... because the advertisements don't show the cord. ... "
" ... Ripped half my car interior off because of a faulty power cord going in the cigarette lighter. ... Changed fuses, checked wiring and was ready to splice it in instead of plug in. ... Thankfully I found a old GPS power cord and decided to see if that changes things and violà it powered up ... "
" ... The rear camera hasn't worked since I purchased it and the cable that is provided is a bit short for my crew cab Dodge. ... "
" ... First the power cord did not work. ... "
" ... On my Prius is not possible to hide or hook the wires ... "

" ... Once the charge is dead it no longer charges when hooked up to any charger. ... The dash camera doesn't hold a charge. ... "

" ... However, the LA heat, which hasn't even been that hot, fried the digital display and ruined the suction cup. ... "
" ... Suction doesn't work well to keep the camera on the windshield, the battery drains very fast, and the automatic turn-off and on do not work well. ... "
" ... 4) Sometimes, the suction fails and it falls off your windscreen. ... "
" ... It gives to suction cups to mount to the window but then the second one turns out to be pointless as there's no way to use it for the review camera. ... "
" ... That is why they gave us two suction cups. ... "
" ... Suction cup does not work. ... "
" ... There was no 3M tape to mount the front dash cam with as originally shown in other reviews, rather two suction cup mounts, both of which failed multiple times (in particular the front) setting off my car alarm on 4 different occasions in just 3 weeks! ... "
" ... I bought new one but when it came on with a return label on and a box was really dirty and the items inside look like a returned opened box. ... "

" ... Now a days you gotta have one of this cause there are a lot of bad drivers out there. ... "
" ... The error says the Mac cannot read the card. ... So if I can’t read the file formats on my Mac, that’s a dealbreaker. ... It appears to record AVI and the file format appears to be ExFAT, both should be readable by Macs. ... "
" ... Overall the camera has been nice to have although I wish it spit out video as MP3 not AVI, oh well, main concern is I live in Washington, it doesn’t get too hot but inside my car the face has separated numerous time to where now the camera doesn’t work (probably when I’ll need it most honestly…) ... "
" ... I would have to admit there might be some user error on my part, but there are no real answers to questions that I have found with this. ... "
" ... Software is unreliable and the hardware is cheap. ... "
