First, the positive part of the review- The video quality is very good.
I purchased the SGZC12SG through Amazon about 10 days ago. We mounted and installed the dashcam Sunday, 11/27. Then, when sliding the mount onto the camera body (the 3M tape mount) the GPS assembly (clamshell) broke off of the camera body, exposing the GPS sensor. Disappointed, but wanting to finish off and get a working dash cam after spending my Sunday afternoon installing it, I superglued the top piece back on. Then, the next day, I wanted to remove the SD card to view it on my desktop and gently pushed the spring loaded card, caressing the camera body gently from the opposite side to relieve any stress on the mount. The mount broke anyway where it inserts onto the camera body.
I did a lot of research and spent top dollar for a dash cam solution that I wrongly concluded is a quality product. Unfortunately, even though the unit fulfilled all my requirements as far as features, it is still cheaply made, poor components with zero quality control. Paying a higher price does not get you better quality assembly and materials.
I'm scared to touch the thing wondering what is going to fall off next.
