Best cam I have purchased by far. I live in an area of 103 degrees on a good day and this product is still standing so far 2 months in hasnt given up to the heat!. Bought 2 for both my vehicles after involved in a hit and run. Should of bought it before. Don’t be like me and wait! For the price and quality I’m definitely amazed with the product! Easy to install. Took about an hour to remove panels and hide wires and re install panels. View and clarity of the cam is great. Definitely worth the price!

Very good kit included front and rear cameras that link to your phone for external control. Kit included instructions and tools for interior hookup, and optional instructions to install to permanent power source for 24/7 monitor ability. I was really impressed with how easy it went into our 2023 Subaru Crosstrek and you can mount it so it doesn’t obstruct driver view. Clarity and ease of use are very impressive. Included is on 64gb micro SD card, and you can save videos to your phone also!

Good dash cam

BOTSLAB Dual Channel (Front 4K & Rear 1080p) Dashcam Review.

The presentation of this dashcam exudes premium. The accessories were neatly packaged in boxes and the unboxing experience was similar to getting a new high-end phone.

The main forward dashcam has some heft and does not feel cheaply made. The view screen is small and provides some detail. Users will see much more detail when recorded footage is downloaded to a phone or a computer.

The 170° wide-angle 4K (25 fps) dashcam lens captures detail in daylight and nighttime but lacks optical image stabilization. When your vehicle is stopped at a traffic light, the dashcam can capture license plates from a distance of half a car’s length. This is also ideal when parked in a parking lot. The rear 1080p (60 fps) camera captures sufficient detail in daylight and at night.

However, when your vehicle is in motion, the dash cam turns oncoming licence plates into an indistinguishable blur. Minus the licence plate issue, your surroundings are captured in stunning detail. If an incident occurs, this dash cam will record it.

A minor nitpick is that a green LED on the left side of the device blinks while recording. I covered the LED with a small piece of black electrical tape. The dash cam alerts users (by computerized voice) that it still records when the viewscreen turns off. The same ‘voice’ is used for the dash cam’s ADAS system alerting the driver to pedestrians, lane deviation, hard braking, aggressive driving and when the vehicle ahead of you starts moving. GPS logging and tracking at this price point is unheard of and is usually associated with higher-end model dashcams.

The spoken ADAS prompts can be configured through the Botslab app.

The supercapacitor is preferred over a lithium-ion battery. In past experiences, the supercapacitor endured extreme hot and cold temperatures. There is mention of a lithium-ion battery in the product description. The battery is likely used to keep the dashcam’s time and date.

For 24/7 parking and sentry monitoring, you will need a hard-wire kit. I tried the cigarette lighter/power outlet adapter method first. When the adapter is plugged into an outlet that provides constant power, this will drain the vehicle battery over time. The hard wire kit resolves this problem.

There are two options available. The first option is a kit that hard-wires the dash cam to your vehicle’s fuse panel. This allows the dash cam to go into parking/sentry mode. The kit includes an inline voltage regulator that automatically turns the dash cam off to avoid battery drainage. Some voltage regulators allow users to choose from four battery voltage settings. This option takes the most time to install.

The second option takes the least installation time and uses the vehicle’s OBD II port. This method eliminates wiring the dash cam to the fuse panel. During operation, the dash cam was warm to the touch but was not as warm when I used the cigarette lighter/power outlet adapter method. If choosing this method, get the micro USB version, (B074M4XMBX).

Ensure enough cable length is available to connect the dash cam to the OBD II port. The adapter is attached to roughly 3.5 metres (11.5 ft) of cable. To conceal the cable, I hid it under the headliner, A-pillar, and the excess cable was hidden near the OBD II port. Plug the adapter in, set the switch to the desired mode and that’s it. The OBD II adapter has a switch that selects two modes. The first mode keeps the dashcam on while driving and turns the dashcam off after five minutes when the car is shut off.

The second mode puts the dashcam in parking/sentry mode. When your vehicle is turned off, the dashcam continues to record. The Botslab app can adjust how much time is allowed for recording. When the vehicle’s battery reaches 11.6 volts, the dashcam shuts off.

Installation of the dash cam was straightforward. The instructions are clear and guide you through the process. A firmware update was available when the dashcam was first started. The dashcam is equipped with a built-in alignment guide that assists with positioning the device. The kit comes with an extra self-adhesive pad. The ESD sticker kept falling off despite having cleaned the windshield thoroughly. If the dash cam needs to be repositioned, I’ve found that a length of fishing line cuts through the adhesive. Goo gone removes any residue left behind.

Overall, and despite minor nitpicks this dashcam exceeded my expectations. Recommended!

Rapport qualité-prix au top! La qualité est vraiment top à l’avant, vrai 4K, on peut très bien lire les plaques d’immatriculation et les panneaux, l La caméra arrière aussi n’est pas mal, pas du 4K mais plutôt très réactive.
J’en suis très content et un service client au top. vitesse de connexion wifi super rapide, rien à dire de mal sur cette Dashcam. Elle correspond a nos attente !!!
