Stay fully focused while driving with smart voice control, enabling hands-free control of your recorder.

FASTER 5GHZ WIFI & BUILT-IN GPS TRACKING: Experience faster and more efficient performance with cutting-edge 5GHz WiFi , surpassing traditional 2.4GHz WiFi. Effortlessly preview and download videos using the free app, and easily share your journeys with friends on social media. The built-in GPS records your vehicle speed, driving route, and real-time latitude and longitude. View real-time GPS logs on the app or play them back on your PC.
24-HOUR PARKING MONITORING: Provides two parking modes: 1) collision detection mode - the dash cam automatically activates and records a 30-second emergency video when it detects a collision while parked, 2) time-lapse recording mode, where the dash cam continues recording even after the engine is off, operating with low power consumption. It compresses and saves long-term videos by capturing one frame per second. To utilize the parking mode feature, you will need the hardwire kit (B0BG5DM5CL).
SUPERB NIGHT VISION: The advanced STARVIS sensor significantly enhances dash camera's night vision capability. Combined with the improved f/1.5 large aperture lens and WDR/HDR technology, it ensures excellent visibility during night driving, especially when capturing license plate numbers under low-light conditions.
SEAMLESS LOOP RECORDING & G-SENSOR: The loop recording feature seamlessly replaces the oldest videos with the newest, ensuring continuous recording even when the SD card is full. Videos locked by the G-sensor are safeguarded from being overwritten. For optimal performance, we recommend formatting the SD card every two weeks. If you need larger space card, we recommend this industrial-grade high performance SD card - ASIN B0D95TXRCJ.
DEDICATED CUSTOMER SERVICE: Rest assured with our dedicated customer service, offering a 12-month worry-free service on every FOCUWAY dashcam. Should you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via Amazon message or email our support team. We will promptly respond within 24 hours to provide the assistance you need.

Title: Very good value for money.
Review: I probably spent up to two months looking for a dash cam for my limited budget of around $100.I added several camera options to my shopping cart and after serious evaluation this dash cam was the one I found as my best option.-Positive features...1. Massive amount of positive reviews. I have probably read more than a 100.2. Very good features.3. GPS tracking.4. Parking surveillance, video OR stills.5. Front & rear cams.6. 4K front, 1080P rear.7. 256 MB memory card accepted by the camera.8. Very fair price compared to other brands with similar feautures.9. WiFi for settings ease of use via the phone.10. Ability to transfer recorded videos via WiFi to the phone.-1. The manual states not to buy Sandisk memory cards, only buy memory cards from FokuWay or Samsung. I did not see this information at Amazon. As I didn't know this, I bought the 256MB Sandisk card because Sandisk has a reputation of being one of the best brands in the world.Inserted in the camera my 256MB Sandisk card was not recognized by the camera and I could not reach the Camera Menu (in camera) to Format my Sandisk Memory Card.- But I could reach/find the Format menu on my iPhone via the WiFi menu option. 🙂 Problem solved.I could format the Sandisk card in the camera from my iPhone via the WiFi App and it all worked out very well and all is now set to go. :-)While in use - remember to format the memory card IN CAMERA once a week to keep it clean from clutter and junk.2. The installation was easy.Read the instruction manual, it is very good. Follow the installation instructions provided. Find the best location on your window, make sure the camera is horisontal, give it a slight press and it's done.I have a vehicle with an almost vertical windshield, a 2022 Gen4 Suzuki Jimny. My fear was that the camera wouldn't cope with the vertical front window. I was wrong, but just barely.To cope with my vertical front window I had to attach the camera at the very top (but not too high) of the front window, providing space for cables as well as detachement of the window mounting bracket.3. It was the same with the rear camera. The rear window is so vertical the rear camera has difficulties adopting to the angle. But as I was rear-ended by a woman in a Mercedes less than a week after taking delivery of my new car I wanted a rear camera as well. (I found no visible damage to my car but I saw a very damaged hood on her Merc. I checked our mutual damage and as I saw way more on her's and non on mine I drove off leaving her to her troubles...) From now on, in case I get rear-ended again, I will have a video recording of the event.4. PerformanceThe camera adjusts itself automatically to the current lighting conditions and I find the video quality as good as expected and good enough for my needs.In the days to come I will explore this little marvel of device and will update this review if I have new information to share.

Title: Reliable Dash Cam with Excellent Video Quality and Easy Setup
Review: This dash cam has been a great addition to my car. The picture quality is fantasticâsuper clear and sharp. You can easily see things like street signs and license plates, which is really helpful. I love that it comes with both front and rear cameras, and the setup was pretty simple, even if you're not super tech-savvy. The screen is a good size, and using voice commands makes it easy to control without taking your hands off the wheel. The app is also really handy for viewing or downloading videos right on your phone. It works well at night too, with clear footage even in the dark. Overall, itâs a solid, reliable product that gives you peace of mind while driving.

Title: Excellent Dash Cam for Comprehensive Coverage and Peace of Mind
Review: I recently purchased this dash cam and im impressed by its performance.Video Quality: GreatThe front camera records in 4k UHD, providing crystal-clear footage, even at night, thanks to its wide dynamic range (WDR). The rear camera, though slightly lower in resolution, still captures sufficient detail to make out license plates and road signs. Together, both cameras ensure complete coverage of both the front and rear of your vehicle.The G-sensor feature is awesome, automatically locks footage in case of an accident.The built-in GPS is also incredibly useful, as it logs the speed and location data for every trip.Installation was a easy peasy, except for hardwiring.The dash cam feels solid and well-made. Both the front and rear cameras have a sleek, compact design that doesn't obstruct the view while driving.

Title: Nice camera, don't use the static sheet
Review: I was rear ended by a guy in a giant pickup truck on the highway back in October last year. My near perfect condition fun-to-drive 2008 low milage Civic Si that I intended to drive until the wheels fell off was totaled. I have a new car now. I purchased this cam for the next time that happens.This is a nice little dual camera system. I installed it the first time about 5 weeks ago, more on this later. It seems to be working as it should and it takes very good video and looks nice in my car, matches / blends into the black interior well. I luv the voice control. It's easy to connect the WIFI but I have to disconnect my phone from the stereo WIFI connection to get it to connect to the cam to view or download videos, not a deal breaker for me. It's easy to setup in the menu, although getting the time set right was a challenge and I had to google it to get the time zone set correctly, tip - if you are in Texas set the time zone to GMT -6:00 and your time will be correct. Back camera works well but lacks the quality and distance for detail that the front camera has (1080p vs 4k). If some one slams into the back of you and they are texting you will see them looking down, for sure. Cameras were easy to install with the exception of mounting the front cam.I wanted to mount the front cam on the windshields dot matrix next to the rearview mirror molding on the drivers side to hide the cam and to possibly give it a little shade for hot summer days (100+ degrees) here in North Texas region. I tried to mount it with the silly clear static film but the static film would not cling to the dot matrix well at all and I was not surprised so I pulled it all loose once it started sagging after maybe 2 minutes of it being there. I pulled the static film loose from the cam mounting base 3M sticky pad. I then reapplied the cam mounting base to the dot matrix without the static film and it held ok until it just got a little warm on the third day (80 degrees, windows up) while I was at work. The 3M sticky pad was done at that point, so I had realized I hated where I had tried to mount it cause I was not able to put up my sun shade so this time I decided to mount it to the plastic molding cover around the base of my rearview mirror mount on the passenger side so now it is completely out of the sun for most of the day. I looked up the best way to mount with the included 3M HFA sticky pad and cleaned everything real good, got the included second mount with sticky 3M pad and applied it to the plastic letting it cure for 24 hours before attaching the camera, then after half of a day in the heat it was done when I came out to go to lunch, cam was hanging by the cables. So when I got home that night, I got out my trusty Scotch double sided foam tape sold everywhere, stuck it to the cam mount, and remounted it again in the same spot on my rearview mirror molding cover and it has not moved since and is nicely shaded and where I have it now I can aim the passenger middle AC vent right up at it to help keep it cool. Also, you can buy more static film sheets and 3M mounting pads that match the original pads pretty well on Amazon if you still want to use it again to remount. The 3M sticky pads are easy to remove from glass or plastic, just use your finger and a little pressure on one of the corners of the 3M pad to roll it up and it comes right off. It comes off of the mounting brackets easy also.The back cam mounted up well and I was able to stick it to the 3rd brake light plastic molding cover at the top of my rear window similar to how I mounted the front cam. I used the sticky pad that was included with the rear cam and it has held up well. The cam is sunk back into the car where the only time it gets direct sun is when the sun is low in the sky and not hot.I purchased the Focuway hardwire kit for this also. It was easy to install and made it nice and neat, no wires running through my car. It was super easy to tuck all the wires so you don't really see any except for the cable in the rear running to the cam from the headliner due to the way I installed the rear cam. The cables on the front cam are only exposed by about 3 inches which I covered with auto wire tubing conduit (1/4 inch, Amazon) which looks pretty good (see pics). I only had to use a small piece I had left over from another project.I will probably purchase and install one of these for my parents also, they are getting older so they need all the protection they can get and they do not currently have a dash cam but they liked this one when they saw it. So, I can say I would recommend this for sure, especially if you are getting it for the lightning sale price of $89, that's a good deal for this. I paid $129 and feel like it was not a bad price for what you get. Wish I had gotten the lightning sale price but I am not mad about it at all.UPDATE July 2024: Went to lunch about 2 weeks ago and the car was very hot when I got in, my car said it was 95 degrees F. I went to a shaded area and parked. I rolled the windows down and left my car radio on which keeps the camera on and after sitting there for about 5 minutes the camera started rebooting over and over. I shut the camera off and finished my lunch. When I started the car back up about 20 min later, the AC vent was aimed up at the camera and it seemed to do fine on the way back to work.I have the camera back out of direct sunlight but it was hot that day. I don't leave the camera on without the AC running now.Also, the Scotch double sided foam tape is still holding strong so far, even in the heat.

Review: I recently got my hands on the FOCUWAY D2-Duo Dash Cam, and I'm thrilled to share my experience. This dash cam is an absolute game-changer, and it's now an essential part of my daily drive.The 4K Ultra HD resolution dual lens recording is a standout feature. It captures the road in stunning detail â license plates, road signs, everything. The footage quality is so crisp that I can easily pick up on vital details. The wide-angle lens provides an expansive field of view, giving me confidence on the road.The 3.39â IPS display is a real treat. The colors are vibrant, and it faithfully reproduces the scenes encountered on the road. The smart voice control is a hands-free blessing. Saying "lock the video" to secure important moments is not just a feature; it's a real convenience when you're focused on driving.The faster 5GHz WiFi and built-in GPS tracking are a dream combo. Connecting to the app is a breeze, and real-time tracking of my driving route and speed adds an extra layer of assurance. Sharing my journeys on social media has never been easier.The night vision capabilities are impressive. The Sony STARVIS sensor, f/1.5 aperture lens, and WDR/HDR technology work seamlessly to provide excellent visibility during night drives. I can capture license plate numbers even in low-light conditions.The 24-hour parking monitoring is a peace-of-mind feature. The collision detection mode and time-lapse recording add extra layers of security. The G-sensor ensures that important footage is locked and protected. The loop recording feature is a thoughtful touch, replacing old videos to ensure continuous recording.In conclusion, the FOCUWAY D2-Duo Dash Cam is an unbeatable upgrade for road warriors like myself. It's reliable, feature-packed, and it genuinely enhances the driving experience. If you're in the market for a top-tier dash cam, look no further â this one is a winner!

Review: This dash camera far exceeded my expectations, offering exceptional quality at both 4K and 1080p for the rear camera.The installation process was remarkably easy and comes with all the tools one needs to get the job done (See the reference video). Running wires for the first time was a breeze, and with just a single viewing of the installation video, I had it set up in around 40 minutes. The result looked as professionally installed.The Wi-Fi connectivity and accompanying app are incredibly user-friendly, making video transfer a seamless experience. It truly is a 'set it and forget it device straight out of the box, requiring no additional tools beyond what is provided.The GPS feature accurately tracks my location and speed, providing precise details that are displayed both on the device and when viewing videos on my phone. The integration with Google Maps adds an extra layer of information that I find particularly neat.Feeling much safer and more secure on the road, I believe this purchase offers excellent value for money. Considering a $120 dash camera, I am immensely satisfied with this more affordable option. The 4K resolution, coupled with its extensive features and straightforward usability, make it hard to imagine the more expensive alternative offering significantly better performance. Adobe all the voice command features make is a more hands-on device and static strips to stick the camera just make the installation weatherproof (yet to hit summers, lol, but winters were a breeze)I wholeheartedly recommend this productâit's truly worth every penny that comes with 1-year warranty but if you register within the first 3 days it doubles to 2 years, so don't forget this critical piece to safeguard your investment.

Review: PICTURE QUALITY IS VERY GOOD AND CLEAR. THE QUALITY OF THE UNIT IS WELL MADE. THE ONLY THINGS I DON'T LIKE ARE, THE WAY IT GETS SECURED TO THE WINDOWS. ONE FELL OFF, SO I REPLACED BOTH WITH THAT REALLY THICK PLASTIC VELCRO, AND IT HOLDS MUCH BETTER. THE OTHER THING WAS THERE IS NO SWITCH TO KM INSTEAD OF MPH. OTHERWISE, A GREAT CHOICE FOR REPLACING MY OLDER ONE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS UNIT ON A SWIVEL MOUNT SO THAT YOU CAN ROTATE IT TO SEE THE VIEW BETTER JUST GLANCING OVER, INSTEAD OF SPENDING A NUMBER OF SECONDS TO FOCUS ON IT DUE TO IT POINTING STRAIGHT BACK. OVERALL I RECOMMEND IT. I LIKE IT.

The screen is a standout feature, offering a crisp and clear display thatâs easy on the eyes.The video quality is top-notch, with the front camera recording in 4K and the rear in 1080P. Itâs reassuring to know that every detail is captured, especially during evening drives, thanks to the cameraâs excellent night vision. The Sony STARVIS sensor and f/1.5 aperture lens work together to provide great footage under various lighting conditions.I also like the 24/7 parking monitor and time-lapse feature, although I had to get the camera hardwired to use these functions. Itâs worth the extra effort for the added security when my car is parked.The 5GHz Wi-Fi connectivity is another aspect I canât overlook. It makes connecting to the mobile app a breeze, allowing me to view, download, and share videos without any hassle.In conclusion, this dash cam has exceeded my expectations. Itâs not just a camera; itâs a comprehensive safety device that offers peace of mind with its array of features and dependable quality.
