Its actually a very impressive product which actually does what it claims too and does it very well.
In the box you get the following items
1 x Camera Module, This contains both a forward facing wide angle camera and a rear facing camera, the rear facing camera also has night vision.
1 x Rear View Mirror Mount, this fixes to the rear view mirror and clamps around it, the camera it then fixed to this, this is more for a temparary fixing.
1 x Stick on Camera Mount, this fixes to the front window and provides the tidyest option of installation, you also get a spare sticky pad incase you change vehicles or mess up the first installation.
1 x 2Gb SD Card, the unit will support up to 16Gb for longer recording.
1 x Remote Save button, when pressed this ensures the footage is saved to memory card and will not be overwritten.
1 x Power Cable, with cigar lighter Plug , shame that a hardwire kit is not included, but you can always hide this somewhere behind the dash and hardwire a extra 12v socket, thats what I did, its also worth mentioning that the remove save button also have to plug into the cigar plug.
1 x Intruction CDROM, no paper manual supplied.
1 x IR Illuminator, this is to ensure that the night time recording from inside the car is good when dark.
So what does is do, well firstly the camera unit itself also includes a GPS Sensor, so that you speed and exact location are recorded onto the unit along with the front and rear facing video, the unit also include records G-Force so any impact is also recorded. When you play back the video files using the software on the SD Card all this information is also played back, it also works in conjuction with google maps and show your progress as it plays back the footage. In the event that the sensor detects some kind of impact the preceeding footage to stored to SD Card and never overwritten, this also happens if you press the remote button, or the Memory button on the unit itself. The unit also has an LED display which show your speed while you are moving and the time while you are stationary.
I am very impressed with the quality of the video footage, both cameras are very wide angle, so catch more than you would imagine, for example the rear facing camera records the entire inside of the car and can also see out of all the windows incase your shunted from the side or the rear.
Overall a very good product, I did have to download a firware update for the unit from the manufacturer as the MPH speed reported was quite inacurate, but the update fixed this problem,updates are a simple case of removing the SD card and copying the update files to the card then putting the card back in the unit.
I hope I never have to use it but it nice to know I have a witness with me at all times if needed.
