Look and Feel

Front camera - The white line at the front is a left-right moving white LED, which can be changed / off via software setting.

Back Camera - I had to take this photo from inside because my window film is making this almost invisible in the photo

Ease of access to microSD

Memory card slot - at the back of the camera

To access the slot, it means you have to move your rear view mirror every time

Having said that, there isn't any reason for me to remove the card other than being curious what have been recorded. Once the memory card is formatted, settings configured, I don't really need to take the card out anymore. When the memory card is full, the recording will auto overwrite the older recordings.

The Recordings

Day time recording is good, and you can use the software to zoom in the video, which is very useful in the event of unfortunate events. Also, you can swap the rear camera to the left window and zooming is possible too. Lastly, the GPS will show your location in the map.

However, if you are at open car park at night time, the image quality is not impressive. I assume the result will be better if inside lighted MSCP. Below show a screen shot from open car park with little lights, I'm not sure if there's an event, will I be able to see the car plate. Having said that, I think with zoom in and the light from the other vehicle, there's a high chance I can. I don't really wish to find out with my cam at this stage.

The Software

It's called BlackViewer, which can be downloaded online. Setup is straight forward, settings are easy too. Below are the settings, most of these are set at the point of installation. I did some changes which I will explain later. Some of the settings can also be turned on/off via the buttons on the camera itself.

1.Common Setting, no idea what does the brightness do. Perhaps I should change to Light and test it out.

Voice recording records the voice in the car.

Voice guidance is useful, it tells you how many events were recorded while parking, whether GPS connected etc.

2. Continuous settings, these are the settings when you are driving the car, I changed nothing.

3. Surveillance (parking mode).

I changed the 15fps to 30 fps, no significant difference, hence I changed it back.I did reduce the sensitivity of the motion detection, because it was recording everything that moves.There is also a cut off when battery hits 12V or the duration is longer than 48hrs, meaning the camera will shut down to prevent drying the battery. I've been leaving parking mode on overnight and I have no issue with battery so far.
