what a wonderful afternoon to know for a safe and cautious Drive remember when pulling up to an intersection behind another car leave a safe following distance in case their vehicle accidentally rolls backwards oh good heavens that car collided with me it wasn't moving at all you guys saw that excuse me good sir I believe your car rolled backwards down the heavily right:0 because your car ran into mine called the rear ender for any reason get it in your head well well normally the car in the back would be at fault in a situation such as this which is now which is why they so call that normally right but had anyone seen this accident they would have observed your car oh no one saw this accident - it doesn't matter because that's how this works well there's damage to the front of my don't want hair damage on the back of your car well I have a dashcam you see I have an injury you have an injury which which which you're gonna have to pay for it I'm gonna pay for your injury because you ran into mice oh man Oh cuz you read it to my car Oh : um but you do understand that no one will believe that I ran into your car oh can you call can you call anyone oh my heart the CM storm SF 17 uses a massive 18 centimeter fan to cool your gaming notebook and it adds a four port USB hub click now to learn more alright that was fun but why does this video exist mostly as a PSA for why aside from us all needing more footage of meteor showers in Russia everyone should have a - can because if you could choose who you get into car accidents with the life would be simple but because you can't the odds that the other individual is a complete asshat are pretty good so for that reason back in December I was looking for whatever gave me solid image quality on the cheap this he pranced dashcam has about a billion reviews on Amazon it has all the features I need like 1080p recording audio recording and so I figured what the heck I'll order one and if it's great I'll let my peeps know and if it sucks then I'll let my peeps know so here we go the tour of this product is pretty straightforward on the side is the power button which you usually won't use since you'll want to plug it into your car and set it to record whenever it gets power on the front light goes in to the lens here sound goes into the microphone here and there's a speaker for playback then you flip it around and there's a little display to show you what sort of stuff was captured by the lens and that also gives you a real-time preview of whatever you're capturing power in can be handled a couple of different ways the top USB port is on the unit that comes with a surprisingly good adhesive and can be detached from the camera once you've mounted it to the windshield it serves as power for both the camera and the optional GPS module that lives inside it which I didn't bother with but is available for an extra 10 bucks the other USB port up here can power just the camera or it can be used to pull footage off of the optional onboard memory or in my case the 16 gig microSD card that holds about 3 hours of footage at 1080p definitely enough to capture you know the moment if something crappy happens while you are behind the wheel on the bottom we find the microSD slot I just mentioned before as well as a mini HDMI port that can be used to playback footage on a larger screen if you don't want to use the one that's built in speaking of the built-in screen the 3 buttons next to it are not really very well labeled and each have at least a couple different functions for reviewing footage navigating the menus and stopping and starting recording so good luck with that like sometimes you hold it down sometimes you press it yeah I don't know all right so here's my setup the unit does get a little bit warm while it's in operation but you know nothing nothing out of the ordinary so basically I'd mounted it in my car by putting it out of the way behind my rear view mirror and then I ran a wire down to my little energizer inverter unit here that powers up a bunch of USB ports should you so desire and also has an AC outlet but if you don't have one of those it does come with one of the cigarette lighter adapter so it actually has quite a long wire on us you shouldn't have any difficulty doing that once it's on there you just go ahead and make sure the 135 degree wide angle lens is getting all the right stuff by adjusting it a little bit up or down and then that's basically it I mean it's funny to me that in the manual they tell you to mount it away from dust haha not in this car and I would have direct sunlight and I'm just like okay it's a windshield not a Sun shield and if it was a Sun shield then I better not get a dashcam because any footage of the kinds of accidents I'd be getting into wouldn't work in my favor but the overall conclusion wise I guess this product is pretty straightforward I haven't tried other dash cams I'd love to hear your comments letting me know which ones are your favorites but I don't plan to replace this one anytime soon because the footage looks pretty good even in crummy conditions like my poorly lit bedroom with just a weaksauce bedside lamp and while the onboard menu system isn't perfect like at all it's actually fairly comprehensive with just about every option I could imagine myself wanting from resolution selection to manual or auto ISO and white balance settings to selecting whether to record continuously over the previous footage to protect everything on the SD card and just give an error when it's full or to just protect certain clips like if I just got in an accident I want to protect that clip and then keep recording over all the rest of the stuff you can do all that stuff so aside from being a little bit difficult to navigate especially the first time without the manual overall of fun if I paid what I pay for this which I did then I'd be pretty pleased which I am so thank you for watching guys the link for where

that aside from not having you know wing style doors does not actually even have air conditioning you can see that button is uh is it empty on this particular model it has five discreet brakes in the windshield abashed in front left side that actually leaks water so I have to have newspaper on the floor of my car to soak up the water as it comes in and that's that's all just aside from it just being like generally pretty horrible so there you go guys Barna Cleese and J's $0.02 have been spreading rumors and lies about the car that I Drive and this is in fact this is in fact it I do I do not drive or own a Lamborghini unfortunately so there now we've put that to rest once and for all I'll show you an injury that on your dashcam
