Review:
Up for review is the Lukas LK-7700 FHD PRO dashcam. This unit was originally released as a flagship back in early 2014, but has since been replaced by the LK-7900. The LK-7700 appears to be on clearance pricing on Amazon as of June 2016, making it a compelling option in the budget dashcam market.
As with most Lukas dashcams, hardware specifications aren’t published online and aren’t found in the paperwork, but we do know that this unit is using a Samsung 2.1MP CMOS sensor. The unit is capable of recording in 1080p, up to 30fps. From my testing, I’ve found that this unit has decent quality in both day and night; similar to other units from Lukas, Blackvue and iTronics (see sample clips below). YouTube really butchered the video this time, so I uploaded a couple screenshots for a better representation of the image quality.
The LK-7700 features a built-in GPS, G-sensor, as well as a high quality microphone/speaker. This unit has a 7-segment LED display on the back of the unit, which can be used to display information such as time, speed, and notifications/warnings. This unit features SD card management, including format-free settings (scheduled formatting) and autosave for video clips detected to be “events”. Some other noteworthy features of this unit include: built-in super capacitor, pre-mounted UV filter, motion detection, support for SD cards up to 128GB.
Lukas has their own video player (Windows and OSX) for ease of viewing videos and synchronized GPS data together. You can also change camera settings using this program. Note that this unit does not feature WiFi and cannot be paired with a smart device. The unit is OBDII compatible with certain vehicles, typically Korean makes. The OBD cable is an optional purchase.
The footprint of this dashcam was a little larger than I had initially expected from looking at the stock photos, however, the unique round form factor is quite sleek and discrete nonetheless.
At the current clearance price of $99.95USD, the LK-7700 is a great option for those looking to buy a korean dashcam on a budget. Video quality won’t win any awards, but it really isn’t that far behind -- even compared to many of the newer dashcams recently released. Lukas has a strong reputation for good reliability, warranty and customer support.
Other notable budget Korean dashcams include the BlackVue DR-3500FHD and Thinkware F50, however, those are bare bones entry level units without GPS.
