    Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?

    MKBHD just released a video about bad products getting deservedly bad reviews that applies to dash cams; In addition to testing & reviewing the best dash cams on the market, maybe we should start reviewing the hundreds of fake, counterfeit, junk sold on Amazon as a type of “PSA”. I think...

    S500 “Virtual” Test & Review PP

    If this is your first time reading one of my lame reviews keep in mind I am not a professional dash cam reviewer. I often reveal my intelligence showing how little I know. I have no education, training, or experience in computers, electronics, or photography. I aspire to be the average “dumb...

    English Only?

    @DashCamMan Was there ever an “English only policy” on DCT? Was that recently removed? I’m seeing more posts in various languages lately. I guess that’s a good thing the community is growing. Is it too late, or unjust to add that requirement? -Chuck

    LifeHackster A229 Pro Review

    LifeHackster uploaded his review of the A229 Pro. He is complaining about motion blur during DAYTIME. I noticed he has HDR enabled, as shown in the text overlay. HDR should be disabled during DAYTIME, and enabled during NIGHT TIME. Can you confirm this? @viofo @VIOFO-Support

    Thinkware U3000 Test & Review PP

    This is my first, and last post about the U3000. What a disappointing Flagship release. First the disaster of the BlackVue DR970X, and now the U3000. How can both premier Korean manufacturers drop the ball for 2023? These things are $500+ and overall image quality is worse than a $120 Viofo A119...

    A229 Plus Test & Review PP

    My retail / production A229 Plus 3-CH Firmware 0912 was just delivered a few minutes ago. I unpacked it, and connected all the cameras to make sure everything is working. I had it connected to my power supply, and it appears to be less power hungry than the A229 Pro, (only 6 Watts compared to 8...

    A229 Pro Test & Review PP

    Viofo is back at it again with another industry first. Last year they released the Original A229 Duo (May 2022). It was the first 2-Channel dash cam to offer 2K Front & Rear with Sony STARVIS 1 IMX335 image sensors. I’ve had the Original A229 Duo installed in my car since July 2022, and I’ve...

    Vantrue S1 Pro Test & Review PP

    First off I am not a professional dash cam tester / reviewer so everything I say should be confirmed & verified, and taken with a grain of salt. I consider myself a very basic dash cam user that’s tested a lot of cheap junk, and even some expensive junk. Playing with dash cams in my garage is my...
