I mainly drive around town and park on the street. So I wanted a good quality camera, mainly for the parking mode, because I've had a few times where I've walked up to my car and it's been damaged. To make the parking mode work on the camera, I bought a smartbox from Navitel.
When installing the camera in the car, you need to be careful to glue it precisely, because afterwards you can't move the camera (both front and rear) - the only possible thing is to correct the lens up and down, which I find absolutely tragic.
The front camera can be removed from the holder, the rear camera is not, it is glued forever until you tear it off - I consider this a big minus and I wonder what they will say about it, for example. police officers in Austria, where such cameras are banned.
The DVR center app (iOS), which allows you to pair the camera with your mobile via wifi, is absolutely terrible, user unfriendly and virtually non-functional. It offers to play the video from the camera, but it only plays a white screen. In order to play the video, it has to be downloaded to your phone - which is extremely impractical and takes "half a day" if you need to go through footage from a longer period of time to find a specific moment.
The camera is constantly hot and I feel like it has an extremely high power draw. Because of which it constantly discharges my car battery, the smartbox then disconnects it due to low voltage and thus does NOT charge when parking - I will just repeat that I bought the camera primarily for the parking mode. After parking the car, the camera records for about 2 hours (only the terrible time-lapse, but at least something), then the battery voltage drops and that's it.
In the other car I have a camera from MiO, its parking mode is 100 times better and so is the phone app, it doesn't drain the car battery, which is recharged during the drive for further parking (however, it has other disadvantages and that's why I reached for Navitel). The camera records good quality video and if you only need it to record driving, it is good. I definitely wouldn't buy it again, it hasn't met my expectations and needs. I consider the purchase amount of over 6000 CZK (camera, smartbox, memory) as money thrown down the drain. My long-term dissatisfaction with the product led me to write this review, and the last straw was when my car battery died again. So I took it out of the car, took it home overnight to charge it. I came to the car in the morning and it had a freshly scratched bumper - the scratches look like from the chain/leash of some dogs that hang around all the time, their owners don't care and still let them pee on the cars. But what caused the scratches, unfortunately I will never know - because of this terrible camera.
