I preordered the SG9663DC dual camera dashcam directly from Street Guardian back in Sept for $299. It just arrived today. I own the single camera unit and upgraded to the dual camera system.
Looking through the box it seems quite similar to the single camera unit and with very similar contents in the box.
My initial thoughts are it looks good. I do see one small red flag at this point. The unit only comes with a cigarette adapter power plug like the original single camera unit BUT this one has an inline DC to DC converter which converts the 12 volt cigarette lighter socket voltage to 24 volts. Does the single camera unit run on 24 volts? If so, I hadn't noticed. While this isn't a major problem, finding a replacement power cable is not going to be easy if it's damaged or fails. Additionally, using an off the shelf hard wired harness tucked away in the headliner will be a challenge in finding one with a 12 to 24 volt converter or adapting a DC to DC converter to such a cable.
The 64GB memory card seems too small for a dual camera HD system. I use a 256 in my single camera unit and that lasts about 4 days. 64 is a nice start but I'll be swapping out the stock micro SD for something larger.
The rear camera is connected to the front camera with what appears to be a mini USB cable. Which is pretty standard.
The box contains the following:
1) Cigarette lighter socket power adapter Power with 12v to 24v DC to DC converter
2) Camera to camera cable
3) 64 GB micro SD card
4) Window mount GPS unit and cable
5) Trim pry bar
6) Adhesive window strips
7) Adhesive wire mounts for the cables
8) Various adapters
9) Quick start guide which seems well written and shows how to set the time zone!!!
10) Soft draw string storage bag
I'll update the review once I install it and give additional updates on operation and stability.
NOTE: The old unit did use a 12v to 24v converter. I just didn't notice it before.
