Setup was a breeze. While choosing my desired settings, it was clear this dash cam is high quality compared to others I've owned. It feels durable and well made and the video quality is excellent. Before the first trip, however, I ran into a snag. I could not wake up the camera after the screensaver kicked in. I was initially very frustrated, disappointed, and ready to leave a bad review but I took another look at the instruction manual instead and found a reset button and used it. After that, no problems at all, but I turned off the screensaver just to be safe. As it turns out, that issue might not have actually happened at all. Confused? Check this out... Through the lenses of my particular sunglasses, I cannot see the video at all, no matter how hard or closely I look, but I can see the video just fine without my sunglasses. So that issue I had? I'm pretty sure I was wearing my sunglasses and that was the cause, but I'm not 100% certain on that. Idk if this is a safety feature to prevent distractions while driving or a happy accident with whatever type of screen protector they put on this thing. Obviously it would only be effective during the day, when people usually wear sunglasses. I've yet to drive with it at night, so I can't comment of the night vision capabilities yet, but so far, I'm impressed.Update: The main reason I got this particular unit was for the advertised heat resistance and it has held up remarkably well in the Arizona summer heat compounded by being in a hot car for over a week. The night vision is actually pretty good as well. The main problem I've had with this unit is the motion detection. It needs to be more sensitive. I've had cars and people pass right next to me and sometimes the motion detection does not pick it up. Other times I've had the motion detection stop recording a mere ten seconds after it picked up movement. This happened a few times sitting at a red light when the intersection wasn't that busy. This is potentially really bad if someone hit me at that moment or some other incident occurred. I've also had the unit turn off and on for no apparent reason even though it is receiving constant power. Lastly, any time it randomly resets or you open up the menu for any reason, or you hit the"OK" button to manually start recording, it automatically turns off the motion detection so you have to make sure to turn the motion detection back on EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you rely on the motion detection, you have to check it before you start driving just to be sure it didn't go back to the default off setting. Because of these things, I am knocking off one star. I am very tempted to knock off two stars but I'll hold off unless something else negative comes to light.The backup camera, however, works great provided you can position it exactly right. That requires a lot of back and forth to check the image. I still haven't perfected it's position yet. It would also be beneficial to add two more screw holes on the back so you could flip the unit upside down to choose between positioning it upside down or right side up. I made my own and so far it has worked out well.One more update:I've been using this dash cam for about a year and a half and it has held up well. One last thing I've noticed about this dash cam: Yes, it does automatically start recording when you turn the car on if you have that option turned on in the settings, but not always. Here is the exception: as you may know, this camera has a loop recording feature allowing it to automatically record over the oldest non-locked video. Sooner or later, depending on the size of your SD card, the card will run out of space. When that happens, the camera has a pop-up notification that your SD card is full. You will then have to manually start recording at the beginning of your trip to bypass that notification (picture included). It basically depends on the size of the last video file when you turned your car off. If it's shorter than average, it leaves just enough space on the SD card to allow the auto record function to start up normally. It's annoying, but sooner or later you will just have to get into the habit of double checking that it is recording as it is supposed to.
