ASUS Reco Classic Car Dash Cam, 1080p Full HD, 140 Degree Wide-Angle Lens, Day/Night Recording

Excellent Purchase - better than the nextbase Dash cam - 100% better in picture quality and userablity.I have had the product now for 4 days and its so easy to use with excellent product guide and really easy to install and use app both available to use on Android and IOS.I have previously used the next base Pro and found that to be very clunky and slow however the reco is fast and easy and provides excellent images. *EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY*The features of the product are brilliant such as HDR - I gave this over to my boyfriend to use on a weekend car drive in the night and the picture quality was perfect . It was also surprising at how much it included within the angle of footage for such a small camera.This is a must for any long drive drivers and also is a excellent and affordable product which does everything and more that you ask of it.Definitely a MUST ahead of any other dash cam - Well done Asus!

it switch itself off occasionally when I am driving. So I dont like this but the rest seems to be fine. Nice and easy installation guide, good looking little device. I think it should have an option like constant recording.Few things to highlight.1. Register the product. The camera is not on the list of products supported by ASUS. There is no chance to register it online. For instance, PRODUCT TYPE - doesnt exists under ASUS Car Camera, the other thing2. The camera doesnt operate as it should every 3 minutes it goes to OFF state without any warning etc. I have bought a product to record not to hang over my windscreen.3. There are no updates as the seller mentioned.

Plug in and it works. To get video working on my PC with the software supplied I had to find and download a codec and the first one I tried was blocked by my anti-virus so users may need a certain level of computing expertise and don't try this if you don't have anti-virus on your computer. I need to check the displayed speed with a separate GPS, as the speed displayed on the video footage is about 10% slower than the speed displayed by the playback software, and both are a little lower than I'm expecting - annoying if they've decided to make it look as if people who are speeding are not speeding; for the law-abiding driver using video as evidence after a crash could lead to a false prosecution for lane-hogging if you're actually doing 72 m.p.h. and the video shows you're doing 60 in the middle lane. I know my car speedometer over-reads but not by 20% (previously checked with a map and stopwatch and a GPS)! Picture quality is good but not as good as the more expensive top-of-the-range Nextbase which is a strong competitor here in the UK - the lack of polaroid means you get some reflections from the Asus. Picture looks a bit pixelated and HD is not much better than the lower resolution - sometimes can read license plates but only really if the vehicle is quite close. In good light, about 50% of oncoming traffic plates can be read on a single-carriageway road at speeds of around 30 m.p.h., fewer at higher speed which is perhaps slightly less than the Nextbase. It seems you get what you pay for and this camera is a reasonably competitive priced and I'm keeping it because the slight improvement in picture quality for the Nextbase (which I returned to the shop) is not worth paying 50% extra in my opinion. Performance at night is as expected - can read license plates when you stop at traffic lights and occasionally illuminated by headlights when following close at low speed but not on the open road as other cars are too far away to read plates at speed at night.

Just in response to another reviewer, my dashcam has only just been purchased and the unit has also been powering itself off after three minutes, this is apparently a fault in the firmware that is connected with the GPS unit, for which there is a UK firmware update available from ASUS' website ([...]) you'll need to look under others under the OS (Operating system) tab, this isn't exactly the most user friendly place to find the update, but it is there and does update the dashcam successfully. Not sure if you can register the dashcam with Asus, you might have to give them a ring, although it seems as though the warranty will have you go through your seller anyway, in this case Amazon. As for the camera, it all seems to do what it says on the tin, I only give it four stars as it could do with shipping with the latest firmware on it rather than having the faffing about of trying how to fix it and wondering whether it needs to go back to amazon. On the plus side it was an absolute doddle to install and set-up, and the video it takes looks very good.

Have to send it back. Device worked well on factory settings. Changed the time to UK time and then every journey would result in the device switching off and restarting. There was a gap of 25 seconds in the recording between the first and second video files of the journey. Otherwise, it did work well but this fault could be critical as you could pull out and somebody drive into you. Defeats the purpose of the dash cam.

Excellent quality camera, easy to set up and great field of vision. The supplied power cable is easily long enough for you to be able to hide it all the way back to the 12v supply.
