VAVA VA-VD009 2K Dual Dash Cam

Got a new car, so need a new dash cam and got this one because I love that is has both a forward and rear facing camera, but you can turn the rear one off if you want with a click of a button. Also love that is comes with a Bluetooth remote to be able to snap photos or video with on the fly. I could never find the button on my old one while I was driving to do that. It also has an app that connects to the cameras thru WIFI and holds the video and photos, so it is easier to see and share these when you want or need to.

So, I thought 1080p was good, but this 2k front camera sees everything and in detail which really helps when you need to zoom in on the video to see something or read a license plate. Doesn’t matter if it is day or night using infrared. The rear camera at 1080p still takes great videos of the people inside and can be allot of fun when people are acting funning or stupid in your vehicle or you just want to record people if you are an Uber or Lyft driver.

This also has built-in GPS, so you can always find you vehicle and track your location, speed and movements in the app. I hope I don’t need it, but it will record a short video if someone bumps or shakes your vehicle as well. Never needed it before an hope not to need it going forward.

You do need to buy an SD card for this and it will support up to a 256GB card which is nice but you can go smaller since it has loop recording and will overwrite your oldest videos once it runs out of space on the SD card. This camera does require a U3 level SD card. Do NOT think that a U1 or lower will work or you will get an error message that it is an invalid card type and not be able to continue until you get a fast and good enough SD card that can a handle the speed needed to record 2k videos.

You can also rotate the front camera 360 degrees if you need to (record the police when pulled over) and can rotate the rear camera 70 degree in order to get the best view inside. This can all be seen on the 2-inch screen on the back of the camera as you drive, or you can turn on the screen saver, so it goes dark while you drive so it doesn’t distract you.

This is very easy to install and setup with the hardest part being trying to figure out how to run and hide the power cable that comes with the GPS module in your vehicle, so you have a clean install and don’t see the cable. I ran mine between the windshield and the windshield header and down the right front side panel, along the door frame and under the dash to the 12v power plug in the dash.

Overall, a great dash cam that sees both sides if needed and works perfectly so far.

Just got mine yesterday and love it, was using my GoPro 7 but this is way better.

Note that while the camera has a large number of very good reviews, there are numerous reports that VAVA provides Gift Cards for 5-star reviews. BE WARNED - the max operating temperature of 50°C is lower than many other dash cams. The unit uses a small battery instead of a capacitor, so parking mode is only good for 30 mins. Customer support is non-existent and the user manual is a joke. I'm close to sending it back.

The actual video quality is outstanding; the video on this review does not do justice to the dashcam.

Clarity doesn't seem as good they claim. Is there settings that let you improve video quality? I have one, but just hesitating to unbox in case I what to return or sell it.
