Customers say

Customers find the onboard camera performs well with radar and video recording, and appreciate its safety features, with one customer noting it effectively alerts them to approaching cars. The visibility receives positive feedback for its bright rear light that can be seen from several feet away, and customers like the radar function, with one mentioning it integrates well with Garmin GPS. While some customers consider it a wise investment, others find it expensive. The video quality and battery life receive mixed reviews, with some praising the video while others find it poor, and some noting excellent battery life while others report relatively short battery duration.
