APEMAN Mini Dash Cam 1080P Car Camera Driving Recorder Night Vision, 170° Wide Angle, Motion Detection, Parking Monitoring, G-Sensor, Loop Recording

The APEMAN C420 dashcam is an excellent value. Assuming you don't need any high-end advanced features, this little camera should definitely suffice. In fact, it makes it hard to justify buying anything better.Pros:- Small size compared to other, bulky dash cams.- DOES accept 128 GB MicroSDXC card. (I went through the trouble of formatting to FAT32, but when I put it in the camera, it prompted me to format it. The camera formatted it to exFAT... So yeah, don't bother with FAT32.)- JUST WORKS. You plug it in, and it just works. The top button lets you begin and pause recording, simple as that.- Comes with both a short cable and a super long cable to make installation easier.- Suction cup mount works really well.Cons:- For no apparent reason at all, the camera has a Mini USB port for connecting to a computer, and a Micro USB port for charging. Be aware, the supplied cables are MICRO USB, and do not fit in the Mini USB port.- This product page says "Max 32GB Micro SD card", which is misleading. (I bought 32GB cards, thinking my 128 wouldn't work. Wasted money...)- File size is large, due to the 1080p quality. My 33-minute commute created 11 files, totaling 4.05 GB. So if you use a 32 GB card, you're limited to about 4.5 hours of recording time. (A 128 GB card should increase that capacity to nearly 18 hours before the loop overwriting kicks in. In my case, that's nearly 16 days of driving history, as opposed to only 4 days with a 32 GB card).Other:- This camera records video in 3-minute chunks. I'm sure there's some technical reason for this, but it seems odd to me.- The (long) supplied cable uses a 90-degree right angle on the Micro USB connector, which may not look particularly pretty, depending on your setup.- Out of the box, the Date & Time was way off. Make sure you set it before taking your first drive or you'll be scratching your head when the timestamp on your mid-November commute says 04-17-2018 3:14:08 AM.Conclusion: This little camera does exactly what it is supposed to. It has a few quirks and can be confusing if you aren't patient and paying attention, but thanks to the 128 GB Micro SDXC, and a $10-off lightning deal, I was able to grab the perfect dashcam for my needs for under $40. That said, even if you find it at $50, it's a steal.Update: After messing around in the settings, I found options to record in 5-minute and 10-minute chunks as well. Again, I'm not sure about the practical implications of these options, but at least we aren't limited to 3-minute snippets.Update 2: Be careful with your settings! Each recording reserves the same space on the micro SD card. So if you set it to record 10-minute chunks, and you record 11 minutes, that 1 minute becomes a new file and takes up 100% of the space a 10-minute recording would take. This is very inefficient so I switched back to 3-minute slices. That way less space is wasted on those "remainder" files. It's not a huge deal, but be careful so you don't cheat yourself out of disk space!

Upon using it for a couple days I just wanted to say I absolutely found the camera to be amazing. Not only for its TFT-LCD screen that runs in 1080p HD but it's ability of automatically recording when any object is in motion. Being an IT student and a photographer i have knowledge on these types of devices I must mention the camera's ability to balance both its footage and image capturing capability. In the past I have seen other dash cameras to potentially use before I even began to drive and it's just they always lacked majorly in the motion capturing department favoring over one over the other. The width range of the camera is also worth mentioning because of its large wide range. It can capture the entire front view instead of capturing a small and specific spot. The camera's G sensor can sense any sudden movement while also being able to freeze an image frame with no motion disturbance. I honestly can't recommend enough on how phenomenal the C420 Dash Camera is and it's other very convenient functions included along with it.

The suction cup gripped the glass very well, and the unit only took a few minutes to install. The video quality was very detailed and high quality where I can see peoples face and plate numbers. This is quite helpful for incidents where you need to see everything. Audio quality is great and has the option to turn it off. Overall I am quite happy with the product.

The dash cam came in a nice packaging with instructions. Pretty easy to use, just put a micro SD card into the dash cam and the thing will turn on and start recording when you start your car. Works 64GB micro SD card in FAT32 format. Great small size not blocking the view. Great 1080P quality.

I'm really pleased with this dash cam and after a lot of research this is the one that is best suited to my car, driving conditions, and ease of use/installation.The manufacturer/seller has been prompt and very helpful with additional instructions, solutions, and suggestions.While the manual is helpful, check out the attached pic of what each icon/symbol means on the Apeman C420 screen. This was really helpful from the seller.I also used the - REARMASTER Universal OBD Power Cable for Dash Camera,24 Hours Surveillance/Acc Mode with Switch Button - (search Amz for listing) to quickly/easily connect this dash cam to my OBDII connector so that I can have power to the came 24/7 or just with the ACC mode.

When you enter the Format mode there APPEARS to be 4 options. Format, Delete all Data, Cancel, and Confirm. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't highlight "Format," or "Delete All Data" to either format the card, or delete all data." I think the problem was that "Format Delete All Data" is not an option, but a description. Then when you do highlight, and click "confirm" the format happens so fast, as the screen flashes "FORMATTING" that it almost goes unnoticed leaving you to wonder if anything happened. I hope this helps anybody who may have run into the same conundrum.

The instructions are pretty simple, also in multiple languages. The cables included are long enough to run around the car neatly. The included charging cable has a built-in USB charging portThe 1080p quality is quite good and saves to your microSD card. The screen is clear and the recording clarity is amazing. Highly recommend!

Product is compact, small, does what it supposed to do, with a 32 GB memory card and a1080p it recorders for about 5hours, it is supposed to have loop recording, and it does have a facility in settings to have loop recording in 1mn,3mn and 5 MN, but however you set it, it does not loop record, once the memory card is full, it constantly gives a beep sound and quite annoying it is, the screen display says local disc full, format, you have to keep formatting the card once it's full or use a 128 GB card. If any one reading this review can provide a solution as, how to make loop recording work it will be helpful, otherwise reasonably good product, clarity is good,

No non sense , does not have a wifi or Bluetooth support for transfer of files .Ensure you format your card .The positioning is very important .You can view video ,but it's best to watch on it on a Laptop or large screen .Records Audio too .The night vision is acceptable .Be sure to tweak the position .It gets a bit hot while on the car charge.

Good dash cam. Compact and easy to mount. 12v plug could have been better , it slips sometimes. Night video quality could have been better. There is no such instructions to upgrade firmware.

Product is average my long 12 volt cable is faulty, not working. Other USB cable is working but very short not reaching to the camera from cigarette lighter point.Disappointed since can't return also, return period passed..with normal cable checked in home camera was working but when used 12 volt cigarette lighter cable not worked in car
