I've have 3 at the moment, all have never given me issues, super intuitive to use and the quality is mint 🤷
counterpoint to this, I had one and within a year it started to refuse to connect to its own app so was basically unusable for me.
my date and time seems to be fine, doesnt reset. i have it hardwired but only to ignition so it doesnt have any power when the car is off.
can recommend ddpai. theyre also quite cheap on aliexpress. pbtech sells the exact same ones at a hefty markup.
I have DDPAI mini. Cheap and does the job. Any dashcam is better than none.
Same. I have the n1 dual, mini and n5 dual, all of them got no issues so far. But not hard-wired as I’m not sure how to do it lol
I want a dashcam setup that I can install once and then trust. I drive in the city during the week and take some highway trips. I want clear footage in daylight and at night, plus a simple parking mode. My budget is around $250 for a full kit. I am open to front only or front and rear. I plan to use a hardwire kit, so clear instructions and a stable app matter to me. I see many 2K and 4K dashcams with parking features and phone apps. Reviews talk about firmware bugs, corrupt SD cards, and mounts that fall off, so I feel stuck. After reading through a bunch of threads here, these three keep coming up a lot in different price ranges: - Higher end ($130): [DDPAI 4K Dash Cam](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3tAHmfb) - Mid-range ($56): [HP Dash Cam](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4on0qIt) - Lower budget ($42): [Acceo Dash Cam](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3OUhMtR) I myself got the DDPAI 4K Dash Cam, as it arrived in only a few days, the installation was easy and it's smooth to use. The clarity in the image is a big must for me, that's why I was willing to spend a bit more on a premium device.
