Title: Fantastic Dashcam
Review: This camera is well priced and the video quality is excellent. No issue making out license plates. It's easy to view videos, no need to remove the SD card, you can just view them from the app. The app works well as well.Other reviews have complained about the cameras voice, and I will agree it's super annoying, but it's easy to turn off. You can edit the settings using the app and mute the camera voice.

Title: AI is annoying and the front camera mounts too low for a sedan.
Review: I like the image quality, but I wish I had gotten a slimmer camera. This hangs low and blocks a significant portion of my accords windshield view. I had to mount it on the right of the rearview mirror. There is no way I would have mounted it on the driver's side or below the mirror.Also, then AI is annoying. It keeps verbally telling me to move forward in traffic. AI might be useful if it worked well and minimized its comments. It might be possible to turn off these announcements, I will update my review when I figure out if this is possible (instructions are not in the manual).

Title: Works well, custom service is excellent
Review: The cam was easy to set up and works very well, even without considering that it is a bargain, and the customer support is quick and effective. My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to make the instruction manual sufficiently detailed to reduce or eliminate the need to contact customer support while setting up the cam.

Title: Quality 4K dashcam
Review: I purchased this camera for its WIFI/bluetooth capabilities. It exceeded my expectations for the price I paid. You would think this is a $100+ camera with all the features and that comes with it. You wonât be disappointed.

Title: S1 ââ Things you should know:
Review: Iâm posting this to help other buyers be aware of issues before purchasingâ¦The S1 probably is as good as some reviewers say, BUTBecause of the problems I encountered I canât use this dash-cam, so I canât comment on how well it performs.I would have returned it but illness prevented me from trying to install it within the time frame to return it expired.I hope MioFive will consider replacing my device.I purchased the MioFive S1 in June from Amazon.I believe that I was sent a defective device (there were missing parts ANDit seems like someone had trouble programing it, so returned it).The manualâs directions arenât easy to follow, they do not clearly correspond to the dash-camâs buttons and digital controls.Some features seem to have been previously set and are no longer accessible to be changed:⢠the date is incorrectâ¢the screen image is upside down therefore the buttons no longer correspond to the screen controls (left, right, back, select).â¢the deviceâs built-in menus are frozenâ¢because the screen is frozen, the âformatâ function is inaccessibleâ¢the directions say to format the Micro-SD card before using, but the cam immediately starts to record when turned on,â¢thereâs no way to stop the incessant voice announcements.â¢Reset and restart/reboot do not work.â¢All of the above suggests that the S1 had been used and returned before I received it.â¢Other issues include:â¢The FIRST instruction in the manual says: â1 To Install the electrostatic sticker⦠Park your car in a safe area, and turn off the car engine. Take out the electrostatic sticker from the packing box and install it in the recommended area on the windshield, as shown in the figure below. Please clean the windshield and remove the air bubbles between the electrostatic sticker and the windshield during the installation.â Later it says: âNote: Please DO NOT attach the dash cam with the sticker to the windshield before the camera CALIBRATION to ensure the AI feature works properly.ââ¢A lot of new vehicles no longer have cigarette lighter outlets (CLO) and have only a few USB-A or -C ports which are often used for charging or Apple / Android Play or other devices.⢠for some large vehicles, such as full-size trucks and buses, the cable provided is not long enough to connect the cam to a power source and be concealed. You can only get 11.5 ft of cable, but it comes as part of their Hardwire Kit ($29). MioFive does not provide anything longer and I havenât found any other long cables that will work.â¢Correct me if Iâm wrong â I donât see how MioFive can claim AI capability, which is an intense computing process. There are a few useful features which they call AI, but it seems itâs just special software.â¢The Hardwire Kit (extra) comes with a number of parts, including fuses and special wires with fittings (TAPS) which are supposed to plug into fuse slots.WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED IS THAT THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE with at least some 2024 GM full-size trucks (and probably others). GM now mostly uses triple blade fuses and fuse slots. A few fuses are mini or micro with two blades. The fuses and taps provided by MioFive are standard two-bladed types. Not good. The fuse boxes/panels in my truck are small and pretty crowded so you canât easily get at the slots.â¢Also included is a tool they call a CROW BAR!!!!! It is actually a small piece of plastic you can use if you want to conceal the cables.

Title: High tech, good design physically. Talks way too much, still trying to quiet it down.
Review: It announces with a voice turning itself on. It tells you to 'keep up with the front' after every few stops in city traffic. The 'AI' features are junk. But the physical quality, video quality, price and packaging are excellent. I might be able to get the talking to stop, but it is NOT clearly stated in the manual.

Title: Feeling much safer now
Review: Exactly what I hoped for. Unobtrusive, reasonable, easy to install. Since the guy brake checked me I've been feeling unsafe. Bring it!
