This model is a very compact fun cam, with an excellent front-only recording (160 degrees angles) and a reasonable price point.

Installation was straightforward and given the compact side, the cam looks nice and does not distract while driving.

There are 4 physical buttons, on the device itself (for menu navigation and taking pictures), but the same controls/all settings are available via the mobile phone app. You do need to however enable WiFi on the cam first and connect to it on the phone. (System Setup ->Wi-Fi-> On)
Cam can also be controlled via voice (System Setup -> Voice ), or a separate physical remote control. Both of these features worked as expected (with Standard sensitivity). e.g taking hand-free pictures.

The built-in GPS, arguably one of the most useful features, works great and the desktop app will overlay location with the video.

Cam features multiple recording resolutions (2592x1942P @30 FPS is highest but at 60 FPS its 1920x 1080P) and HDR modes are also available. I did not see any jitter or lag and the resolution was high enough to read signs and license plates 5-10 ft away and even at night.

The device lets you add your license plate (again via buttons or app) and that can later be used to prove authenticity of the video. A nice feature is also recording of the actual speed, on the video, which can be used as evedence.

To get the recordings/pictures you can either 1. pull SD card (which is not included) and view on a computer, or 2. enable Wifi and view them via mobile app, which is more convenient, but could be even more convinent with a dedicated wifi button or less clicks.

A nice extra is a USB port on the charger, so you can plug and charge another device via the car lighter.

The other features such as Parking mode, in my case, is not very useful, as I have not connected the cam to the car battery directly.
