I received a lot of help on this forum when researching, so I figured a review would pay it back. I purchased my QVIA T790 from Robert at lukasdirect.com, who was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions (more than you can imagine). Thanks Robert.
Anyway, this is my first dashcam ever, so I have nothing to compare it to. Feel free to let me know what you think by looking at the video clips I uploaded.
Overall, I have not had issues getting my phone connected to the camera via Wi-FI with the QVIA app (I have a Motorola X android device). On a few occasions it was laggy, but nothing major. Viewing videos from the phone directly is a bit laggy also , but I have been throwing the microSD card into my PC to view, which I like much better. Formatting the card and updating settings via the app/phone is very convenient.
I have the camera set to High resolution (there is Low, High and Very High). My volume is on the lowest setting, and even though my G sensor is on the least sensitive mode during driving mode, I still trigger an event by hitting road bumps. The motion detection is also very sensitive. It basically always records an while in parking mode, even though it is on the least sensitive setting. I am going to try turning motion detection off and G-sensor to most sensitive while parked and see how it records if I gently bump the car.
The mount it came with was clear, but it showed too much in my opinion so I sprayed it black with Plast-Dip. I also purchased black #m tape to blend into the windshield better, and covered the lettering on the dashcam with a piece of black vinyl tape. Looks very discreet now.
Here are links to some video. It's been very cloudy the past week so I pulled up two event videos to show sunny and night weather.
