can a dashcam this small actually work
0:02
well let's find out Dave Taylor here and
0:12
we're looking at dash cams but you know
0:13
what this conversations gonna be a whole
0:15
lot easier if we switch to my normal
0:17
setting so let's go ahead and do that
0:19
this is the AZ dome 4k Ultra HD dash cam
0:23
and it's really tiny but it's really
0:26
nice check out this footage this is me
0:28
driving through Denver downtown Denver
0:31
traffic and this is a hundred and
0:33
seventy degree view and it's at high-res
0:36
2880 by 2160 at 24 frames a second that
0:40
is not bad also notice that it's giving
0:42
us GPS and time information pretty nice
0:46
so turns out this has built-in GPS and a
0:49
built-in Wi-Fi which means that you can
0:52
actually use your phone as a controller
0:55
for example Here I am adjusting some
0:57
settings on the phone super easy you can
1:00
also see there's a ton of different
1:01
resolutions depending on what you're
1:03
looking for really nice now that's done
1:06
through the built-in Wi-Fi but you don't
1:07
have to do any of that frankly I
1:09
actually rarely if ever used the app on
1:12
my phone because there's a micro USD
1:15
card on the side you have to supply your
1:17
own but you put one in and it just
1:19
writes and it does it in a big circle so
1:22
basically the oldest video snippet once
1:25
it's full that will be overwritten so
1:27
you have this sort of rotating couple of
1:29
hours depending on how big your card is
1:31
and it's in three minute intervals
1:33
now one thing you can do is you can use
1:36
the Wi-Fi and you can use the app and
1:38
you can get things on your phone but
1:40
what I prefer is I actually plugging it
1:42
into my computer with the USB which is
1:44
also power and then you can just grab
1:46
the videos and then they have an app
1:48
called car DVD player and here now you
1:51
can see in the app I'm driving through
1:53
the amazing Eisenhower Tunnel up in the
1:55
Rocky Mountains and it actually shows
1:58
your GPS location it shows speed
2:00
ironically not when you're actually in a
2:03
tunnel because they can't get the GPS
2:05
data to figure all that out so it goes
2:07
but really simple app you can just grab
2:11
whatever footage you want you can
2:12
chop it up the way you want it's really
2:14
nice and what I really like about this
2:17
is not only is it small and easy to work
2:19
with but they've just put a lot of
2:21
thought into it so there's a little
2:23
teeny tiny 2.4 inch screen that is
2:26
plenty enough you can see in this photo
2:28
when you're getting it all set up
2:30
properly on your car and on your
2:31
windshield and stuff super easy to work
2:33
with and one other neat thing is that
2:35
the suction cup is actually one where
2:38
they have a little locking mechanism so
2:40
you put it in place you rotate it and it
2:43
stays on there pretty darn good I
2:44
actually when I once I've locked it I've
2:46
never had any issues with it moving or
2:48
falling off that's pretty nice now also
2:52
has a G sensor for if you get into an
2:54
accident and it will automatically lock
2:56
that footage so if you then need to go
2:58
later and see what happened they've got
3:01
loop recording parking monitor night
3:05
vision it has like 60 seconds after you
3:08
turn off your car it'll continue to
3:09
record so that's useful if you want to
3:13
do stuff like parking then I think you
3:15
need to actually set up a different kind
3:17
of power you can't just use it out of
3:19
your aux or cigarette lighter as we used
3:23
to call it because that generally powers
3:25
off when your car powers off but there's
3:27
ways you can do that and again one of
3:29
the great things about this is that it's
3:31
giving you really good resolution video
3:33
and a really nice wide-angle 170 degrees
3:37
is a pretty wide angle and it's all at a
3:39
really good price but before we get to
3:42
the price let me ask if you can click on
3:43
that subscribe button really appreciate
3:46
now how much for this well most of these
3:49
dash cams seem to run between a hundred
3:51
and two hundred dollars but this is
3:53
crazy inexpensive the AZ dome 4k Ultra
3:57
HD dash cam is $89.99 at amazon.com and
4:02
that is without a micro SD card but you
4:04
can pick up a plenty big enough card for
4:06
this for like 10 dollars if not less and
4:09
this is great fun I really have a lot a
4:12
lot of fun with this recording different
4:14
drives and different parts of my drive
4:16
and it's really clean and you can look
4:18
at it on a map afterwards there's a lot
4:21
of fun you can have with this and if
4:22
you've been thinking about a dashcam
4:23
this is a nice start I will note it
4:26
only records out the front so if you're
4:28
like an uber driver and you want one
4:30
that records inside your car - this is
4:33
not your solution but if you just want
4:35
to be able to relive all those amazing
4:36
drives or just share with people how
4:39
horrible traffic is you can definitely
4:41
do that with this AZ dome so Steve
4:44
Taylor I'm gonna go put this back in my
4:45
car and I'll catch you in my next video
