Notes (Limitations to Tests):
A. This product was sent to a friend that wanted a dashcam, and the videos emailed to me, for review and upload. My Volvo only supported a Starvis Mangoal versus Starvis 2. I felt Starvis 2 would be better tested than an older product.
B. Rear Camera video footage was limited in duration. Friend decided against running the rear camera, so I only have the two rear videos, which are night footage.
C. Test Vehicle was a 2024 Hyundai Tuscon
D. Audio removed for privacy
Mangoal 4K:
Wifi Menu: - Selection is very Basic. HDR can only be Enabled or Disabled. No Auto HDR Timer.
Suggestions: Add Auto HDR Timer to Disable HDR in Daytime and Enable HDR at Night.
Replaces Stock Plastic Mirror Cover for Seamless Installation (Good Option for those not wanting a camera mounted on windshield).
Camera + Power Button
FOOTAGE:
1. Daytime Footage is Good to Very Good on Front Camera.
2. Night Time Footage from Front Camera is Average to Good. Capable of Capturing Plates in Proper Lighting.
3. Rear Footage Appears to Yield a lot of Starbursting, Noise, and Grainier Video.
Note: A CPL filter for Front + Rear Camera may improve visibility, by reducing starburst / noise, but a CPL filter was not included with my test unit to assess.
