Pros;
This dash cam came with an adhesive windshield mount rather than the typical suction cup. If I were planning to change this camera between vehicles it could be a problem, but this is dedicated to 1 car in my case. The sticky pad mount makes the camera, which is compact and flat, very unobtrusive on the windshield, a feature that I like. It avoids the big bulky ball joint linkage typical of the suction mounts. Also, the suction cups will eventually deteriorate if left in place through the summer months.
This dash cam menu setup is pretty typical of all of the others that I've dealt with. Once you decode the menu procedure they all set up pretty much the same. It's not difficult to figure out.
Cons;
The only criticism I have is the mediocre quality of the front-facing camera optics. There is a lot of vignetting in the corners and much lens curvature. It's like looking through a fish-eye lens. This is the 5th or 6th dash cam that I have used and by far, this front camera lens is the lousiest quality. Even my cheapy $20 job had better picture quality than this one. The optional, included rear-facing camera lens is much less distorted, and I rarely use rear-facing cameras anyway, so I considered setting up the rear camera as a front camera, but the way the system is set up the front camera is always recording, you cannot turn it off. In that case the camera will always record 2 separate files simultaneously, taking up a lot more storage on the SDHC Micro. Yes, I know, the purpose is to take back up CYA type video, I'm not making a cinematic masterpiece. In light of that I have settled on using the front camera with it's sketchy distortion. But if the camera had better optics this review would have been a 5 star rather that just a 3 star.
