The night lens is very well rated. It is also wifi enabled. Also has an assist to make sure you don't get too close to cars or out of lane (the feature is meant to be so-so)

sorted byIt lets you choose the timeout period, when it times out, it displays the date and time but haven't figure out to turn off the display completely yet. You can set more options connecting it to your phone, only just figured out how to get rid of the YI logo in the corner today
its for the rear of my wifes car, might wrap the front in black vinyl to hide it
I'm saying it makes zero sense as a security camera... it uses rolling footage and will record only at the press of a button, or via the G-sensor (on a stationary wall I'd sugggest 0.0G). So, unless he's going to hang out of his window, wait for a burglar and press the button on the camera that it is fairly useless.

The downside is they're super-noticeable in your car (being white and tripod-mounted you may-as-well write "CAMERA TO STEAL" on your sunstrip! )
If you're not worried about that (and I think the days of dashcam thefts are gone given they're so cheap) - not a problem (some say, the white means it doesn't get cooked in summer)
Also - you run the risk of the app demanding your first-born child as a permission - but that's common to every Wifi/Dashcam which uses one ;0 (edited)

My current cheap dashcam does but I don't know with this one. Hopefully will find out soon when mine arrives
It's suction cup mounted as are most dashcams. It's grey not white - but even then you could always stick some black tape over it. (edited)
The discount is still active but you have to a activate it. You will find it under the price
It doesn't have motion sensors? So it doesn't activate when the car is stationary and hit by an object? That's pretty standard on dash cams nowadays.
try this
I also 'hardwired' it into the fuse panel with this hgvdirect.co.uk/das…tml
I've stuck mine to the back of the rear view mirror with some 3M Command Strips. My last cam held in place ok with those, rather than using a "lick and stick" mount. (edited)
Comparing to the AUKEY dash that's been posted the past couple of days it's definitely better, plus you get full 60 fps compared to 30 fps with the AUKEY.
At standard prices I'd go with the AUKEY as this isn't £40 better.
I actually ordered the Aukey earlier today but cancelled that and bought this as the difference in price was only £4.26 and this one does have better reviews and features. (edited)

Thanks for letting me know and something to hear in mind though the comparison site I linked to was the main reason for buying rather than Amazon reviews. Although the high reviews did help with my own confirmation bias
Fortunately with a product like this you can see the results for yourself on YouTube.
As an owner, this is worthy of it's rating.
Not sure I like the look of that site either, seemed interesting at first, I put in some other products and it's suggesting some reviewers are fake because the reviewer has reviewed everything positively. People that have reviewed like 3 or 4 items in total over long periods of time and all random products, not all Chinese stuff (ie. most likely to be fake) but they just think they're all fake.
I've never purchased anything off Amazon that I wouldn't have given 4 or 5 stars but according to that site, that makes me a fake reviewer.
Further it seems to mark anyone doesn't publicly show their name and has 1 review as fake. Some sample size.
But I do like how they look at reviewed items in common with other reviewers, that's a big sign of reviews for free products.
Can you switch off the display or is it permanently on?

Cheers op, ordered at promo price, BTW it's shipped from outside the UK Amazon live chat informed me!
No, it won't record events.
Do you have any recommendations for a more discreet one? as im not too keen on like you said "Camera To Steal" type
I don't believe it does but someone else might be able to give a better answer
Obviously it doesn't have motion sensors because it is only supposed to record when car is moving, that said from Amazon description "
The title includes the words "dash cam with G-SENSOR".
before I have hid mine inside a small toy with the stuffing removed - much less obvious. you can also take the camara apart if you are that way inclined and extend the wires to the lens so you can hide the actual camara, all not worth it in my opinion as I don't think people actualy want to steal them?
