I never thought about I need a dash-cam before, but after my friend had an accident recently, that reminded me I should get one just for another "insurance". My friend fully stopped at the stop sight, but another guy didn't and hit him, they called the police, but that asshole told the police opposite story, said my friend didn't stop and hit him. Because there had no camera and no witness, then my friend had to hire an attorney, even though my friend won the case, but he paid more than he actually claimed.

Too many different brands dash-cam out there, was little confusing at the beginning to choose. I'm traditional shopping guy, I like to go physical store than online. I bought this one from http://www.7daycam.com/ddpai-dashcam...lack-box.html/, because I realized they have office at greater LA area. So I wen to their office to pick it up, they show me different ones, I feel this one mini is the best one overall, size is smaller than I expect and super easy to install. They told me how to hide the hire, nice.

They have 1 year warranty and office just 20 miles away from place. Most importantly, I could straight up to their office if it has any problem.

The definition is awesome, and I like the small form factor and screenshots of the video sold me! I like how you can view the video on your phone, that way I can instantly show people without having to remove the SD card and load it onto my computer. And the little bottom comes with it is interesting, every time you press it, the it takes a picture and 10 seconds video (5 secs before the press and 5 sec after), automatically go to your app when your phone connected the camera.

Installation is super easy, you can either connect to the USB or OBD II. It comes with the USB cable, OBD II cable and a USB car charger with 2 USB ports. I connected it to my OBD II port, basically just hide the wire inside the header and inside the A pillar, then all way down to the OBD II port. I was little lazy to open the rear mirror black box to hire the rest of wire, otherwise would be more clean.

Honestly I feel bad for having this such thing on my car, but we really need especially at LA. If people could be honest, and drive safe, we need none.

Looks good, and affordable. How's the quality?

I'm about to move to LA for school this fall, I'm thinking I should get one of these.

How much did it cost you in all?

I'm looking at iTrue X3 Dashcam and that has 4.6/5 stars with 230 reviews on Amazon. Did you look at that one before purchasing this dash cam?

I'm just wondering, why'd you choose this one? There's not that many reviews on the internet about this.

I think i did but just forgot the names except this one and Blackvue, a lot of forum friends told me Blackvue is the best, but it is little pricy to me personally, the features are exactly the same as mine, but Blackvue $229.95, and it's Korean brand, i dont wanna email, call or even ship it to oversea for having any issue. This one i got, i might straight up to their office, lol.
Beside, I don't think iTrue X3 has these features, and man, that's huge to me, seriously.

Wow alright, if I'm going to buy one it's probably going to be this one then. Thanks for giving a detailed review on it :-)

Thanks for sharing! I'm interested to see a sample clip. Did you get a rear camera? I got rear ended recently so looking for front and back dash cams to record all the time.

[Deluxx3]

Could you upload a video sample so we could see the quality?

Great job on the installation!

No, i got the front only, yeh, i posted 3 links within day and night times, it's clearer than i expected honestly.

Damn the quality is great for the price. How many hours does the 16GB capture? I want to assume not that much right? Thanks for sharing, very helpful.

Wow bro that quality is on point..! I wasn't expecting that at all.. I bought a "720p" windshield mount camera, and yeah it's not anything even remotely close to the quality of this one..
