APEMAN Dash Cam 1080P FHD DVR Car Driving Recorder 3" LCD Screen 170°Wide Angle, G-Sensor, WDR, Parking Monitor, Loop Recording, Motion Detection

 The image quality is pretty good at night. The camera does not have night vision, but make up with the WDR, HDR features. (Note: make sure the inside of your windshield is clean, unlike mine.)

The dash camera was very neatly packaged. Very slink design with the black matte finish. No over-complicated glossy design, this is what a dash camera should look like. It has a nice 3' in display screen, it's not a touch screen but it's nice to have a big screen to navigate the menus.

The instructions are pretty simple, also in multiple languages. The cables included are long enough to run around the car neatly. The included charging cable has a built-in USB charging port, which great if you only have one cigarette lighter receptacle.

There are two different types of mounts included (1) is a suction cup the other is a sticky pad. Suction cup mount has two adjustments nobs which are very easy to use to get the correct angle. The suction mount has a twist to secure feature I like when locking the suction cup in place.

The menu is easy to navigate, tons of great features built-into this camera like motion detection, seamless loop recording and parking monitor.

It took me about 15 minutes to install and run the cabling through the car.

Great little dash camera!!

Note: Amazon's video upload quality is terrible. Video samples can be on found YT.
The video does not reflect the quality that the dash camera records, its very high res and smooth.

I have had this camera for over 3 weeks now. I was hesitant to purchase it thinking the good old "you get what you pay for". Turned out, I was wrong. I read the reviews, albeit few, compared to my previous Rexing V1 dash cam. I decided to give it a try. Well, I love it. I love the clarity of the video, the design, the ease of setting it up, the overall quality for the price I paid. The only con was the fact that the camera arrives on default screensaver ON when you connect it; meaning, it's still recording but the screen is blank to avoid distraction while driving. I was unable to find the screensaver turn OFF feature in the settings. I contacted the seller and they told me that the screensaver turn off feature was under LCD Brightness, which was odd. But I found it and turned it on. So far, I love it, works perfectly fine. Very responsive and fast customer service; open communication, help available when needed. Will update my review if any changes down the road.

 well, first, this price is affordable and cheap for a dash cam, so you can't simply compare this product with other super expensive one. second, i'm not using this to record any v-blog or as a go pro. it is what it is, a dash cam, to record the driving record in case there's something happened in the terrible traffic condition in the bay area. last, it works. it does it job well. sound is clear, the wide angle pretty much catches everything ahead of my car. one thing need to mention is you may need to buy a good sd card for better storage. one drawback i can think of right now is during the nighttime, even though it still works, but day time is better and clearer overall.

I was hesitant to buy a "lower quality" dash cam. My friend, who seems to know everything about cameras, told me if I'm not spending at least $250 on a dash cam, I'm not getting something good. I was like...whatever I can't afford that. I have to say I'm really glad I went with this one. The picture is good, it was easy to install, and it records when the car is parked so I know what's going on. I'm taking a star off because the buttons/menu are kind of complicated. It's not totally intuitive which button you're supposed to push to select and stuff, so you end up back at the home screen a lot while you're trying to figure it out. But...not that big of a deal, really. I'm happy with this purchase

Edit: 6 months later and I'm still very happy with this camera!

It's a good quality cam with great video quality. It was easy to install with simple instructions. It’s a great quality cam, the manual made it clear how to operate it, great video quality, the camera turns automatically when the car starts, the screen is clear and the recording clarity is amazing. Highly recommend!

Very surprised at how easy this camera was to set up and use. Not to mention the video and picture quality are phenomenal.

 Very happy with this purchase, I have used it for some days, the dash cam work well, clear picture and great recording for 1080p. I am confused with the parking mode of this camera, but after checking with Customer Service Team, I know that it will not monitor all the time, but the camera will turn on automatically and record when it feel shaking. I have tried this, very amazing! In fact, I have bought a Apeman upgraded version C450 before, which is more cheaper, the products of Apeman are good with the competitive price , they have many years' experience on camera. When I see the Apeman C450 Series A description. I really want to try this. Perfectly, it work very well, compared with the cheaper one, C450 Series A is more excellent, it is what I need. Even though both are named C450, but the models of these two are quite different, the effect is also different, you will pay for what you need. Also, very nice customer service, I have some questions of this model and send them email several times, they will reply me in time and help me solve the issue. They will spend time to help you patiently. Very Good.

 I wasnt ready to spend hundred of dollars on a dashcam and figured i'd try this one out and if it wasnt good i would just return it. Have had this for a about 2-3 weeks and can say it is worth every penny. I have uploaded a video to show the nighttime quality and although amazon has compressed it and worsened the actual quality you can still tell how good it is at night. It is very clear at night and better than expected. It also has almost all the features of expensive cams. If you hardwire this like i did with the hardwire kit, you can leave it on all night and when the g-sensor detects movement it will start recording. It also locks files from being over written which is crucial during an accident.

I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants a descent cam for a great price.

The latest release of the C450 very easy to use and includes everything you could ask for at this price point. It has features more expensive dash cams have and to think it's less than $45. Apeman has also responded daily to my questions and I couldn't ask for better service. They even sent me extra tips on playback, still picture, etc.

I tried the YI for $50 and its user manual was difficult for me and I couldn't get WiFi working even with their help? I had to send it back and went with Apeman and glad I did with all of its features.

 I have been using this dash camera non stop for the last few weeks or so and it works unbelievable! Video quality is muchh better than i expected also. Has many nice features and works as it should. The g force meter in very sensitive as well. I bumped my truck and the cam started recording. Great so far!!
