I purchased this camera as an upgrade from an older single channel only camera and the difference in the quality is almost day and night. This review is a short term one. If things change, I will provide a revision.
Among perks of this camera are the contents in the box, physical buttons, high speed memory card support, "live view" in the mobile app, and video quality.
The camera comes with cables of sufficient length, extra adhesives, and an easy to understand instruction manual. The box also includes a handy schematic for how to wire the device properly and a plastic "pry bar" type tool to help push the cables behind the interior panels of the vehicle. There's also a 12v two-port USB adaptor but I already have ample USB ports with sufficient amperage built in the car so I opted to not use this one but the inclusion is a nice touch.
I mount my camera in front of the rearview mirror where it's out of sight of me while I'm driving. Having physical buttons, especially with the "lock" button being sized larger than the others is a huge benefit for being able to reach over without taking my eyes off the road.
Given that this camera can record in 2k in the front and 1080 in the rear, large memory cards are a must and this camera can support a microSD card up to 512gb in size.
Aside from the physical buttons, the user interface is great. The various LED indicators seem as if they would be really helpful to indicate to the user what's happening, but as mentioned earlier my use case is a bit different. The voice commands work okay as an alternative to using the buttons, provided there is no music, conversing within the cabin, or road noise. My particular car makes too much road noise unfortunately for the voice commands to work well but other people's experiences may vary, of course. The voice playback when starting, stopping, and performing various other functions on the camera is excellent.
The mobile app is available for both Android and iOS devices and has an excellent "live view" feature to help the user with angle adjustments. The inclusion of 5GHz wifi is faster than the traditional 2.4 GHZ spectrum that's included with other models of dash cams. Personally, I just pull the card and place it in an adaptor that connects to my phone when I need to pull footage, but again the option to use WIFI is there and does work, with some patience. The camera writes intuitive filenames which include the year, date, and time, as well as a way to easily differentiate whether the footage is from the front or rear camera. Files that are locked get copied to a separate folder so the user can easily find them. These features make finding a particular bit of footage a breeze.
The footage quality itself is excellent, with or without the HDR. Virtually all standard sized license plates are legible in daylight as are most smaller sized plates that are used on motor cycles. Night footage is equally impressive, although sometimes headlight glare overexposes license plates making them difficult to read.
The GPS is also an extra touch with the ability to stamp lat and long along with speed in either kmh or mph. The mobile app also allows for some custom fields so someone can add a social media handle, their own license plate, or whatever they desire.

Exceptional DashCam for My Mercedes Sprinter RV
I recently purchased this DashCam for my Mercedes Sprinter RV, and I couldn't be happier with my choice!Video Quality: The video quality is simply outstanding. The clarity of the footage is top-notch, with high-definition resolution that captures every detail, day or night. This ensures that I don't miss anything, providing me with complete peace of mind on the road.Ease of Use: Setting up and using this DashCam was a breeze. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy for anyone to navigate through the settings and features. The instructions were clear, and I had the DashCam up and running in no time.Mounting Options: The mounting options are incredibly versatile. It easily attaches to the mount, or you can remove it when you want. It stays in place even on bumpy roads. Plus, it's compact and unobtrusive.Customer Service: What truly sets this DashCam apart is the company's exceptional customer service. They were quick to respond to my inquiry for a longer cable for the back camera since my vehicle is so long and provided me with one very fast. It's clear that they genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction, which is a rare find these days.Overall, this DashCam has exceeded all my expectations. The superb video quality, ease of use, versatile mounting, and stellar customer service make it an excellent investment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performing DashCam for their vehicle.

That aside, I tested the unit and everything works, and it works fine with a Samsung extreme 512GB MicroSD card.
The manufacturer went above and beyond to rectify the situation, so I will give this 4 stars.
