This one is OK, but you know the old saying "You get what you pay for" definitely applies here. I was hoping it came with a manual, however if you're clever enough you will be able to use it fairly easy using the settings buttons. The motion sensor is redundant in most cases as there is always going to be movement on the roads, however, you could use it as a security cam if you park street side at night. Then again, if someone broke into your car the Dash Cam would also be stolen (LOL).

If you are on a tight budget the cheapest good DashCam I would ever recommend is the G1W it's about 52 dollars. You can get it from Amazon under ASIN B00FONBG1A. There are some other cheaper ones with the same case, but inside are lower spec parts. The G1W really does 1080P video and looks good at night thanks to High Dynamic Range.

It is a cheap camera. And is not HD. It records but not clear picture. It depends on what you are looking for.

I got a few of these from ebay sellers, and I am very satisfied for basic safety needs in case of accidents. It actually has better night vision than my Go Pro Hero 1 cameras, which I retired from dash cam duties since I got these cheapies that work well. In fact I purchased more for other family members via amazon-fulfilled sellers here. When I want HD, I got my GoPros and my Samsung smartphones and my Sony wifi cameras.

I have a problem in setting the language mode to English. The instructions tell you but I cannot switch it readout in English. Is there anyone that can tell me? First of all, do you have to plug it in the car before you can set the time and date mode?

For the price it does everything I thought it would. It may say HD but that is not the case. With the lower resolution and wide angle lens, it is hard to make out license plates unless you are stopped behind them. I got this for proof in case of an accident. Make sure to get a class 6 or higher SD card so you don't get laps in recording when the 1-3 minute has elapsed per recording file.

it is not a bad unit, it just your tv resolution is not match to the dvr's display resolution. you need to connect the dvr to a VGA monitor then change the display resolution of the dvr that is match to your tv.

This device is a cable box/media player only. It doesnt have any dvr features. I bought a tv card for my computer that I have hooked up to my tv as well and that works great.

As long as your DVR has at least one audio input jack (RCA style female to match the male jack on the cable) you are good to go. I think you will be pleased with the quality of the microphone and its ability to pick up quality sound. We recently had a hit and run across the street to a neighbor's car and the microphone not only picked up the bang (that was easy) but also the conversations that that the occupants in the suspect car had when they got out to look at the damage they had caused ('move the car across the street and they won't know you did it'). The police loved the audio and of course the great video that I had to give to them too. Case closed!

you can search on ebay for Dual lens dvr for car. I found one that has both the front and the rear recording.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

I would stick with the Dahua ones only issue/requirement is hard drive needs to be WD AV-GP. I tried several other China NVR and it had issues with motion or iphone app didn't work.

I do apologize for the inconvenience but it seem like the dash cam is not functioning correctly. I recommend sending the unit back to us by logging into your Amazon account and requesting an exchange for a new DVR 207.

Try Netviewer. (Google it.) It worked fine for Win7 where Web Client for DVR would not.

I use vMeyeCloud app on Android to connect to my 8ch DVR. The quality of the app and the service is quite low, but it works sometimes.

I have two DVD recorders. One is the Sony RDR-GX315 which seems to reject discs at random ("This disc can neither be recorded or played") and will not record premium channels from the DirecTV DVR. The other DVD recorder is the Toshiba D-R410. I have had it for about a month and it has not rejected and discs and records successfully any program from my DirecTV DVR. If you have an HH Gregg store in your area, you might be able to pick up the 410 new in a box for under $100.

TIVO has the best user interface of any of them. Now it is even better with One Pass, where it will check netflix, hulu and Amazon, in addition to your TV lineup, and add the shows to your playlist automatically (i.e., it is a trumped up "Season Pass"). I don't like the cable card, I have to have the tuner, and On Demand is a problem with the cable card. But the user interface is so good I choose it over any cable DVR. My friend still uses the cable DVR and I tried it just the other day... it still stinks.

Couldn't tell ya, you'd have to ask the people who placed the ad. I use both, don't matter to me which. I have a TOSHIBA, and while I hate their flat screens, their DVR is a bullet-proof machine. Plays everything and runs as smooth as a jet engine.

The DVR is junk It lasted about 6 months The tv guide is only good for a few days in advance. If you want a good DVR for your antenna Check on TIVO. When the channel master died I through it away and switched to TIVO and I've been happy ever since.

My first DVR from Security Man worked great for about 3 months. Then, nothing. Would not playback, erase, nothing. I purchased anouther one due to the price, it has been working great for about 2 months. I'm selling the house now, I hope it lasts til closing.
