The high quality footage and easy integration have helped me to love this product. I used the hard-wire setup that I purchased to hard wite it into the car so that it always remains charged. As such, I can't speak to battery function of plugging it into the 12 v outlet in the car.
Mounting the camera was simple and the guide easy to follow.
The app used to connect to the camera works well.
The camera has a network you can connect to that will transmit information to the phone without the use of cables. I found that I would lose service when connected since I had wifi calling selected on my phone (my house had poor phone service). Once wi-fi calling was turned off, I no longer experienced this issue and could be connected to the camera and use my data. I believe that was more of an issue with my phone settings than anything else.
The camera continues to serve me well and exceed my expectations.
I recently had a problem with my hardwiring set up - not due to quality of the product but due to other reasons. ThinkWare quickly replaced the product and their customer service was excellent.

Customer Review: Great camera right up until it wasn't

Beware of several issues
Cons1.Issue#1. It requires 12V input (normally cigarette lighter port) and can't be powered by any USB!2. Issue#2. It has to be hardwired to use the parking mode!"The 12V Car Charger cannot be used for Parking Mode" - says in the instruction, and it's not obvious cause my plan was to use power hub with cigarette lighter. You can't use the app to make it switch to the energy/memory saving parking mode state either, and if you plug it in to any constant 12V DC output - it will continue to record continuously as if you are driving, the internal battery protection switch will not be engaged , and it will drain the battery fairly fast.3. Issue#3 - the polarized filter keeps falling off - it's just a flat piece of glass that is taped on top of the camera lens - no latches or grooves to hold it in place. Very BAD design. ANNOYING!4. The hard-wiring harness is Made in CHINA. Before you hardwire the camera - open up the protective casing and solder the DAMN connections. After I installed everything it worked for one day and then stopped. It totally freaked me out cause I thought I burned something in my car. Turned out (after 4 hours of testing my fuse box , battery voltage, etc - I discovered the connection fell off (see the picture).Pros:1. Made in Korea. Way better built compared to Viofo139 Pro (made in china) that I originally installed that overheated and stopped recording after one week.2. Despite their claims in the description - it DOES support 250GB SD card and possibly even larger. You just need to format it by holding rec button. 250Gb is way better then 64, especially if parking mode is needed.5. Works out of the box. Unlike Viofo139 that did not provide SD card or hard wiring harness (70$ extra), this one contains SD and hardwiring harness, spare 3M, and cable clips. It could make installation easy if I didn't have to mess with the cigarette lighter socket.
