Apeman - C550A

Adding that the Apeman c550 was my previous dashcam and I loved it. I now use a mirror-camera but recommend this to anyone whos looking for one but hates the mirror ones. Installed on my dad, aunts, and fiancees car and it works great!

I used to use an Apeman C550 and loved that it was flush with the windshield, would still recommend. I currently have used the mirror dashcam Wolfbox G840s for 2 years now. I love it and works great, helps cause big heads in the backseat don't block anything and I can remove the cargo cover and fill it up to the roof and I can still see out there. My fiancee doesn't like it because it makes her a tiny bit dizzy to have all that movement going on on that screen, and it's also a huge 12" screen. I turn it off when traveling on highways at nighttime because 1, it's empty enough that I'm not switching lanes often and 2, the screen can be really bright, though it can be dimmed. Other thing I'd recommend is if you get one of these, get an anti-glare screen protector. In the summer, if the sun hits people/anything in your back seat, you can see the glare in the screen and it gets annoying but the anti-glare helped a ton! The plug-in for this goes to the 12v cig lighter but, for the hatchback, that's right in the center armrest storage and I didn't like that so I hardwired it to my Wiper Fluid fuse. Hardwiring can seem scary but it can be done with 1 or 2 YouTube videos!

Apeman C550. GPS is via external receiver, so can be disconnected. No Bluetooth. No voice command. Mic can be muted. Rear camera can be disconnected. Records to micro SD. No WiFi. 1080 front camera. I bought mine from Amazon about 4 years ago for £35. I am sure you can get used ones for about third to half that now

Wow what a rip off. I have a self installed Apeman brand cam. $65 for both a front and back camera. Hid the wires and it took me 45 minutes. I’m not a handy person.

My shitty Amazon Apeman came with a front 1440p 60hz and rear 1080p. After 5 years the camera falls into a reboot loop endlessly until I unplug the USB c rear camera. Now I'm considering a Viofo 229 but waiting for a sale
