Was a bit disappointed with the video quality. I feel the day video is too compressed, lots of pixelation when I view it on a larger desktop computer monitor you can really notice it. So I uploaded the sample clip of the most ideal conditions, nice clear sunny day, also an overcast sample. I feel video should be a bit cleaner than this. There should be an option to choose how much compression to apply depending on the size of the SD card.

Next, the night video looks even worse to me, the lights have these round halos around all of them, and these horrible streaks coming out of bright lights which I never saw to that extent on sample video online. I think its too excessive and I don't know if its because of the windshield, or the lens on the camera. . I include the rear shot but it has lots of dust and video quality is even worse because of it, however you can still see it has those halos and streaks. .

Overall I think I paid more for the ease of use, and features of this camera than I did for video quality. Although I like the night video better than the BlackVue (which is too grainy) I still feel the lens on this camera is extremely subpar. For these prices they really should have put a better glass in the lens of this camera, looks like cheap plastic to me. As a photographer I think its unnacceptable.
Furthermore I feel as though I could have accomplished the same thing by paying much less (by getting a BlackSys, or maybe BlackVue). I can't really direct compare them, but to be honest for something that is needed just to capture an incident, I would not have paid this much again, unless they delivered a real increase in image quality.
