I’ve owned two of these over nearly two years, both still running flawlessly. Great value for front + rear coverage, 1296P+1080P, Wi-Fi, decent app control, G-sensor, night vision, and parking mode which I got the optional hardwire kit: link and also there's the OBD version: link.

Support from DDPAI was excellent when setting up. It’s not 4K and no GPS, but for under $70, it is a great dash cam option.

I find it interesting HN sells these too - $179

    is it hard to install yourself? always wanted one but didn't wanna kill my car or the warranty. kia sorrento if anyone else has

      You mean the hardwire kit? It is but at first it feels overwhelming. Then again, the obd kit makes it much easier.

      Check out Alex's awesome videos which really helped me out.

        OBD powered dash cam was a thing I only just discovered last week. That makes things so much easier for hardwiring.

        • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 10:02
          +2

          Yeah although just do your research there. I think the main issue is clearance but could be other factors. This video might be helpful for others starting out.

      • mskhan on 05/06/2025 - 11:09

        assuming it has a USB-C power port, can I use the (already installed Azdome dashcam’s) hardwire kit to power it up and make use of parking monitoring function?

        • cornflakes on 05/06/2025 - 14:30

          Yeah any USB-C would be fine, they're all the same 5V. The new camera will decide how much current to pull.

      • Iggemo on 05/06/2025 - 11:56

        if my car has 12v ports at front and back, can i just plug it in those?

        • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:28

          Yes, it comes with the USB adaptor that connects to the front 12v port. You'd only plug it into the front though, if that's what you mean.

      • darkcolony on 22/06/2025 - 09:55

        Is it possible to just get 2 and install the main to front and back?

        • OldBugger on 22/06/2025 - 11:40

          Two cameras or two hardwire kits?

          • darkcolony on 23/06/2025 - 15:24

            @OldBugger: Two MAIN cameras but using the same app. OBD version to the front, and back just try the closest USB-C

            • OldBugger on 23/06/2025 - 22:47

              @darkcolony: The rear needs to connect to the front. If that's what you mean.

    • shole on 05/06/2025 - 09:33

      not too hard really even hardwiring it
      won't void warranty as it's easy to revert back if you use fuse taps

    • theguyrules on 05/06/2025 - 09:57

      hardest part is finding a nice neat route for the cables. especially rear - we have a hatchback so had to get the wire through a fairly tight grommet to the boot.
      its satisfying though.

    • bAps on 05/06/2025 - 10:25
      +1

      we installed this in our new Sorento and it was pretty straightforward. Allow a couple hours to do it all.
      If you get a hardwire kit, make sure it comes with mini-fuses instead of regular size fuses. The Sorento fuse box is full of mini type.

      • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:35

        Just on the fuse size, I had to shave the kit's fuse side edges to fit in mine. No issues otherwise.

    • gakko on 05/06/2025 - 10:39

      I diy'd a front and rear. Only confusing part was figuring out which fuse to jack into for power. The physical process of doing it all was annoying but fine really. This time I'm gonna pay someone though.

      I recommend diy if you got time to do it. Good learning experience. I'm busy af with family these days.

      • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:36

        Using my cheap Digital Multimeter was a godsend for this job.

        • gakko on 06/06/2025 - 08:36

          Yep I ordered one just for the task!

    • Ooops on 05/06/2025 - 17:53
      +1

      I got a Kia sorento and it's not hard to DIY.

      1 - Find an empty fuse in the fusebox next to the wheel.
      2 - Get one of these
      3 - push cables in the door frame and up the ceiling to where you need them. You don't need to pull out anything, the cables are thin enough to slip between or, pull the plastics, no worries.

      P.S. if you have a cigarette liter for power, at step 3 ,chuck it in the cigarette and push the cables between the plastics and under the dash.

      Job done.

  • freelife on 05/06/2025 - 10:57

    I've stopped using hardware kits as the ones I've had killed my car batts much quicker than normal. I keep my car in garage anyway so don't need parking monitor

    • zfind on 05/06/2025 - 11:08
      +6

      It’s more for when you park out in public and the car is at risk of being hit by idiots. Also a good hardwire kit will have low voltage protection so it cuts the cam off before the battery gets too low. If that’s what you mean by killing them?

    • Zackeroo on 05/06/2025 - 11:27

      What car do you have? I've never heard anyone with a modern car have this issue as most car batteries are quite large now. I have an older Volvo and even in that, I've run a lot off my battery while the car was off and never had it drain below 11.8v

    • MondaySleeper on 05/06/2025 - 11:39

      I faced the same issues. I can put the cutoff at higher voltage but that could lower the recoding time when parked on street.

      I put a kill switch on the hardware . This enables to shutoff when the car is in the garage. Current switch is on-off. You just flick it to off and put it back on (so that u don't forget it to turn on during next drive).

      Looking for a momentary off swich so that its just a press when home

    • Maltopia on 05/06/2025 - 13:53

      For my new EV, the dealer had an option for a camera with its own separate battery so it didn’t drain the main one.

    • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:31

      I haven't experienced battery issues with this kit. It does have low-voltage protection (when the input voltage drops below 11.8V) where it will automatically cut off power.

    Linus did a good video on why dashcams are all the same:

    • kobe8tang on 05/06/2025 - 14:54

      My Chinese brand 360 is around $70 and it is 3K and works perfectly to catch a plate number even during night if it is not too far.

  • ozzy1 on 05/06/2025 - 11:04

    No gps.

    • bargainperson on 05/06/2025 - 11:09

      Is that important?
      No speed recording I guess.

      • ozzy1 on 05/06/2025 - 11:20
        -1

        Yes, it's important. It records the exact location of the incident and speed.

            @sqheaven: Sometimes. If u are at fault, you can say the sd card is corrupted

        • woodencupboard on 05/06/2025 - 13:29

          Most of the time dashcams are just for proving 'the white car hit me and here is a photo from my smartphone with all the detail'
          It's rare to rely solely on video evidence.

        • howcan on 05/06/2025 - 14:18
          +3

          It's not important at all, location is pointless since the location can be corroborated from the video footage, and the speed is inadmissable in a legal dispute therefore it's also pointless.

      gps sensor is not cheap

  • bargainfinder on 05/06/2025 - 12:13

    Which connection type does it use? I have an old mini usb from my previous viofo that use mini usb connection. Will be great if i can use the existing wiring

    • bamzero on 05/06/2025 - 12:28

      Unlikely to be mini USB but you could always just use an adaptor.

    • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:01

      USB-C - see pic

  • utsc on 05/06/2025 - 12:31

    The OBD2 power adapter referred above in the post seems to have a built-in fuse and battery protection

    • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:06

      As does the standard kit

      • utsc on 07/06/2025 - 11:21

        Thank you for the clarification. Then why were some members in this forum complaining about draining the battery down completely and suggesting that they would never hardwire their dash cam again?

  • Villainous on 05/06/2025 - 14:15

    Is something like a Viofo really worth the extra price or is something of this quality enough to capture video evidence of who is at fault in an incident?

    • Hallaj on 05/06/2025 - 15:29

      YMMV but my Viofo was done n dusted within couple of years.

      • Villainous on 05/06/2025 - 15:57

        I might cancel my Viofo order and just grab this then.

  • Domtacular on 05/06/2025 - 16:26

    Unsure on the app for this, mixed reviews online , anybody used before / app experience ?

    • OldBugger on 05/06/2025 - 17:16

      Well, I use it if you have any specific questions. Connecting to it requires connecting to its own wifi and can be fiddly is what I will only say. But I really like the app and the ease of using the slider to quickly move through time. Then very easy to download that video and/or image to your phone. This video shows the app quite well even though it is using another cam.

      • Domtacular on 06/06/2025 - 09:07

        thank you sounds good, I'll check the video out.

  • drift7rs on 27/06/2025 - 09:33

    just of curiosity, can anyone with one of these chime in on numberplate readability at day/night?
    just dont wanna get f!!!ed over by some idiot, and have only a blurry image to show for it…
    ty in advance :^)

    • OldBugger on 27/06/2025 - 09:48
      +1

      See this detailed video which pretty much follows my images. You can see number plates if they are within a few metres in front of you and to the side, no problems. But further out it struggles. A good practice, when you can, is to say the number plate in question as the camera records your voice in the car.

      • drift7rs on 27/06/2025 - 10:20

        tyty, will check this out, much appreciated ^^ once i have a dashcam hopefully i get used to doing that

  • sintro on 27/06/2025 - 23:58

    Is there a way to turn off the wifi on the dashcam when not in use?

    • OldBugger on 28/06/2025 - 09:40

      I believe it's only turned on briefly at the beginning and end of startup and shutdown to allow you to connect to the app.

      • sintro on 28/06/2025 - 20:35

        I was hoping this was the case but when I got to my destination and check the wifi on my phone and was able to see the SSID so it doesn't look like the wifi is turned off automatically during the trip.

        • OldBugger on 02/07/2025 - 18:18

          I just checked and the wifi turned off soon after starting. Then at turning off vehicle it appeared again for a minute then shut down.
