FineVu CR-2000G

FineVu CR-2000G

The FineVu CR-2000G is a dual channel dash cam that records 1080p at 30fps for both the front and rear cameras.  Like most of the dual 1080p cameras released to date from Korea it has a large front camera with a touch screen and a smaller cube styled rear camera.

This dash cam has built in GPS, G-sensor, lane departure warning system and parking mode.  The FineVu CR-2000G also has dual card slots (1 micro SD and 1 standard SD).  The camera is apparently using an Ambarella A7 processor and and a 2.4 MP Sony Exmor CMOS sensor.  Overall video quality is very good during the day and average at night.

FineVu CR-2000G Dimensions

The biggest drawback with this camera is the form factor.  The front camera has a 3.5″ screen and is 92.5mm x 66mm x 42mm, a bit on the large size. The flashing orange ring around the lens does not help with discreetness either.  The rear camera is cube shaped at 35.8mm x 35.8mm x 35.8mm.  While much smaller, the cable connects from the top and using the standard mount, it is difficult to install near the top of a rear window.  So even though the camera is quite small it is quite noticeable when installed on the rear window.

We would like to thank our member, USDashCamera, who did a review of the FineVu CR-2000G in the following video.

Should I Purchase?

The FineVu CR-2000G is one of the best dual cameras available today.  The form factor for both the front and rear cameras is disappointing and the $400 price tag is a bit steep.  That being said, FineVu makes high quality cameras so if you are looking for a dual 1080p camera this should be a consideration.  Take a look at the BlackVue DR750LW-CH and Panorama X2 as well.
