Thanks for comments.
The one I got is like this:
The IR led's don't even turn on and there is no option in the menu to do anything.
I think they are fake/duds.
I'll test little more and if it's like this, I'll have to work with seller for refund or something.
I've seen other C600 videos online and they are night and day better than mine.
If I keep this, I'll open it up and see if I can remove the lens cover and have better quality along with manual twist focus etc...

When I got my first dash cam several years ago there was literally no information available about them and you had to buy and hope for the best. Now we have places like DashCamTalk and much better products on the market, including some low priced units that perform better than some more expensive offerings available even a year or so ago. It may be best to consider the C600 a live and learn experience and move on to a more well reviewed, well regarded product purchased from a reputable merchant.
Sounds like a plan. Put the proceeds towards the G1WH.I gonna sell mine on Ebay for under 10 bucks![]()

C600 is supposed to be crappy. My C600 is blurry on the left side. (I use it as a rear dashcam.) I'm getting myself a G1WH.

I even attempted to rotate the len. But it's behind the circuit board, which is very hard to take out.
C600 has decent reviews.
I am very skeptical that the C600 has garnered any "decent reviews". Perhaps you can provide some links to them. I am am NOT talking about customer reviews on Amazon for this 25-28 dollar dash cam but legitimate objective reviews by people knowledgable about dash cam technology. The fact is that the results we have seen here in this thread and on YouTube, even those that may be sharper than yours are about what all one can expect from a 25 dollar dash cam. And night time performance would be worthless. The truth of the matter is that anyone who is even halfway serious about owning a dash cam would likely not bother with one of these. The G1WH at $56.77 or any of its "cousins" is the lowest priced dash cam of merit worth considering at this point in time.
for $36 it will either be the 96220 version with a small amount of profit for the seller, or the 96650 version selling at a loss
even when you do find a 96650 version there's a USD $10 price difference between the best version and the low end version (six versions that I'm aware of, perhaps more) so even getting a 96650 version doesn't always mean it's going to be great, it's very hard to buy a good version of this model anymore
