Super Legend HD Video Car Dash Vehicle Recorder

A great little camera for the price, it does what I expected it to do. The picture quality isn't fantastic but but it's adequate for what I want. The video quality could also be due to the type of SD card that I'm using so I have just ordered a 32 GB class 10 card after reading other reviews regarding the speed of the SD card used.It's very easy to use and it's a "mount and forget camera"... Just fix it in the position that you want, I have mine mounted just under the rear view mirror. Then when you start the engine it starts recording, turn off the engine and it stops. This is a great feature as you don't need to remember to turn it off or on and have it recording all night while you're parked up after forgetting to stop it recording, or more importantly miss something vital you wished you'd recorded because you forgot to switch the thing on.A couple of bugbear that I have is that I like to set the zoom from about 1.7X to 2X as I find this is more representative as to vwhat's seen by the driver. When the unit powers down this settings isn't stored. When it starts recording on power up I have to enter the zoom settings again before I drive off. Not a big problem as it still records video ok, albeit something that looks like you're further back from traffic than you actually are.The other bugbear is that I can't seem to disable the sound. This might be my fault because I haven't figured how to do it. If anybody knows if this can be done I'd appreciate it if you can let me know how to do it. The night vision doesn't seem to work, or if it is working then it's not good.All in all, a good camera considering the price. It does what I expected for what I paid and I'm pleased with it. The camera arrived quickly and was well packaged in a a secure box. I'm now contemplating buying another one to mount on my rear window to video traffic from behind.I would recommend this camera and the seller, It's an entry level camera, but for the price it's fantastic value for money. it does what it's supposed to do, it works well and video recording is clear.

The media could not be loaded. I was going to place a *dummy* camera in my rear windscreen to make other drivers think twice before crowding me or running into the back of me.However, at a cost of around £15 it was pointless having a dummy camera when I could have a real one. So how was it?Was it good enough?Not for a front-facing camera, as it didn't pick out enough detail. The quality is about VHS (tape) quality I would say, perhaps a bit better (judge for yourself by watching the video, which has been edited and resampled for YouTube quality). But for the rear view, where quality is probably far less important (it's really only for when someone shunts you) this is ideal.I just plug it into the boot 12v cigarette lighter (not every car has one there so think about where you're going to plug it in) and leave it there. I can just see the flip down screen in my rear-view mirror so I know it's running. It switches on, and starts recording, as soon as I turn the key in the ignition and power goes to the rear cigar lighter socket.I've got it set to record the video in 5-minute 'chunks' so the resulting video clips are easy to view and find (they are date-time stamped).How's the audio quality?Good enough. On this video you'll just about hear the radio set at normal listening volume but mostly car noise at the rear of course. For a front-facing camera I'm not sure I'd have it recording audio as it would pick up the radio too well, along with my expletives at inconsiderate drivers and discussions with my passengers.What's it like to use?Once set up, it's quite literally a fit-and-forget item. The supplied mounting bracket is far sturdier than you might think for the price, and there's no camera shake to speak of (once, again judge by watching the video).Using the in-built screen is fiddly but do-able, not that you'd want to. Take out the full-sized SD card (32Gb recommended as it will give you hours and hours of video) and play on your computer, it's much easier and the quality is better too. But the in-built screen *does* work well enough.There's also a composite video output (warning: the white cable is actually the yellow one) but the quality wasn't that good. It's unlikely many people will use this when you can watch the video on a computer so easily.What's in the box?There's a cigar lighter charger, a composite video cable, a mounting suction clamp and an instruction leaflet which is OK but not standard English. Just note that the OK button is the RECORD button on the camera body when using it to either set up the camera or use it to play back clips.Would you recommend to a friend?Absolutely! Yes, there are constraints in its quality but I'd rather have this as my front-facing camera than no camera at all, so as a rear-facing camera it's really a no-brainer.Very good value for money, just don't expect Blu-ray quality and you'll be in for a treat.--Helpful?
