Wait what happened to the rear camera, how did y’all install that? And how did the hardwiring go? I’m gonna grab this for Prime Day and super excited!!!!
Hello?
As the video memory continuously loops, how do I trigger a ''save clip''? Say you witness accident, is it voice command or button press? Long video, provide a time stamp please if it's covered. Thx!
Great video. Just got mine today for my F250 Super Duty. Saw your video and immediately bought. Within 3 days of purchasing truck, someone at Lowes hit the back tailgate and reverse camera. I immediately got on researching best options and found your video. 3 days later I'm about to install thanks to your information! Definitely a polarized lens a must!
By the way, this camera has a park mode so it definitely has the capability for 24 hour surveillance and recording. However, you have to use the hardwire kit with it. Fortunately my F250 has the Aux switches and easy to locate to add the necessary wiring.
I bought the F7NP and unfortunately discovered that it only really works with the associated power supply. If you drive an electric vehicle, there is no cigarette lighter, only USB-C charging points. If you connect the dashcam to these and try to supply it with voltage, it unfortunately doesn't respond. And since this is a company vehicle, I'm not allowed to add anything about the vehicle's technology (Redtiger F7N dashcam hardwire kit). So no function without a cigarette lighter.
That's funny. Your intro. I knew exactly where you were. LIJ
My first purchase for my new truck was a dash cam, this one looks awesome 😎. Small bit of advice if you have a crash that’s your fault “It Happens” get rid of the footage 😂
Lol, good tip 🤣 I will keep that in mind
And be dishonest? What about being fair to all parties?
@@tilu3303 why so scum lawyer can sue you and make way more than is deserved
Lmao😅
Funny, I have a friend that was in a road rage accident. The guy had a dash camera and police asked for the footage, but he claimed the camera wasn't working(likely deleted the footage because he's dishonest). Funny enough someone else caught the incident on their camera and the guy is now sitting in jail for reckless driving and assault. Dumb ass didn't think someone else would have a camera too. 😂
You don’t need to say literally everything your doing. No one is gonna forget to breath
Thanks for the feedback! Have a great day
does using your cigarette port drain your battery? also does it run all day all night?
Hows it holding up. Any opinion changes after 3 months?
For some reason my dash cam stopped displaying the speed correctly. It’s saying I’m always driving 0 mph.
I'm getting mine just for police
Is it possible to view the cameras on the app, if you are away from the truck? I can’t find the answer to to this
I want to know this as well... for the parking feature... my car was hit and run over night will I be notified?
Cool dashcam video. That puts out a pretty crisp video. We put one in our rig, not too long ago. The vantrue N4 is what we have. It really does give you a little extra comfort/relief knowing it's there.
That’s awesome. We should add one to our rig.
If you have a RAM (and I think you do) and you want to plug in the hard wire into the fuse box (which I think you will) you'll need some kind of mini to micro fuse adapter (if you know of one, let me know), I'm still looking for that. Also, the rear camera cable length is about 2-3ft to short and my RAM is standard bed, not long bed.
Put in the rear window of your truck…duh.
I cut the cable and lengthened it but I'm handy with a soldering iron, shrink wrap, wiring shit & tools. Unless you aren't (which you probably ain't) redtiger sells a 33 foot extension for around $20 on their website. That's at least twice as long as the default that comes with it. They also sell a 50 footer if you install it to a pull behind RV or something.
can u turn off the speed display?
Great review. Please can you tell, what is the price of CPL filter and hardwire kit?
Thanks for the review, does it show the license plates clearly?
Did you ever hardwire this and is it hard?
I heard if you use the rear camera, the front camera drops from 4k to 1080p which is weird can you confirm that?
I thought maybe front was 4k and rear 1080p? Idk
Please post the link for the polarized lens 🙏
Hello, is there a rear camera in the box? Do you need to install inside or outside the car? Thanks
Yes! It does come with a rear camera. I believe it's recommended to install inside the vehicle somewhere.
You ran the wiring in front of your airbags. The airbags will still work, but there's a small chance the wire will turn into shrapnel when it does.
thanks
Question can you watch parking mode clips away from the camera for example like at home and get live footage?
Not to my knowledge since it’s not connected to an internet source.
I just wanted to comment on your production value/quality on this. First video of yours I’ve ever watched but with the switching between the dash cam, camera, phone footage, audio, etc… looks like it was very involved process to edit this and it’s fantastic! Thanks for that,
Oh and the video was great too in general :)
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment! We work hard to produce the best quality in what we do, so it's appreciated when it's noticed. ☺️
So, if the cam's wifi is on and your fone has to be connected to it, that menas no Android/Apple car?
It doesn't have to stay connected. You only connect if you want to see the footage on your phone. I typically just take the SD card out and load the footage on my computer.
So you have to manually turn on the camera every time (if not hardwired) ? Thats a big Con.
Yes, unless you hardwire or have a vehicle that stops supplying power to that outlet. It will turn on and off if it does.
I know this is a older video. I wanted to know are you able to see and read the plates of cars in both directions? How is it at night time? Also thanks for the video!!
You can see plates in the front camera. I haven't checked the rear camera. Night time is actually really good. We were surprised. With the lens cap, it really cuts down on the light glare.
Do you have a link for the lense cover and also does it matter if the hardwire kits says f7n instead of f7np?
I was wondering the same
Does it record even when you are on CarPlay? I got mine and I’m not sure
The camera has its own SD card so it’s always recording as long as it has power and is turned on.
how does the rear camera get power and attach to the front camera?
With a single power/data câble to the front unit
Personally I’d recommend the Viofo A139 with the Starvis 2 chip. It has _actual_ 4k, unlike this one, and the video is far, far less grainy. You can even clearly see license plates. It’s only $30 more than this one, too
$30? It’s like $130+ more than the RedTiger. That’s nice.
@@davidgunderman6348 the RedTiger is $200, the A139 *single* channel cam is $230 or so
Bu the way, the camera turns off with the car, even without the special hardware.
Dose it effect the car’s battery 🪫?
It is using the battery but it’s a very low draw. Depends on your car and the battery. My truck doesn’t have a problem with leaving it on.
bad, we don't see the license plates of other vehicles
Because the TH-cam video was uploaded in 720p… embarrassing comment 🤦♀️
This thing has flash memory for all your settings. And that includes of course, wifi. Just leave it ON. Unfortunately you did NOT go through the process on the phone of connecting via settings, wifi, etc. I suppose that's where you enter the default PW (12345678). You also didn't have the rear camera connected and by default BOTH show up in the little monitor there. the rear camera shows up in the top starboard quadrant (but its pretty small). I think you can turn it off though.
If you actually need to show an accident to a LEO its gonna be a bit involved using a phone as this app is NOT very intuitive. I need to work on that. You can also connect the entire camera to a USBC charge cord that's connected to your computer. Or you can remove the microSD card and read it that way. There's a directory called "cardV" and inside that it shows all the files separately under directories for "F", "R". Set your file length to 5 minutes (the default is 1 minute). I have the 128gb card (by sandisk) and each file on the forward camera is about a gigabyte so you have quite a bit of time before write over begins. yeah about 21 hours of recording before the rewrite.
quick question,
so will it record 4k in 60 fps or just 30 fps?
or do i need to record in 2k in order to get the 60 fps?
planning to change my old dash cam which stopped working after 8 months lol
Damn, finally a video that reviewed and showed the GPS in action! Thumbs up right there.
How's the camera going a year on??
I had a Ventrue dascam, which was held with a suction cup and kept falling off. I don't want anything to do with suction cup cameras anymore.
Now I have the Garmin 67W dashcam, which sticks to the window and a magnet that holds it in place.
Hello, the cigarette lighter socket in my vehicle works even if the vehicle is turned off. If I connect the camera there, will the parking mode work without purchasing an additional kit?
But the most asked question: can you read license plates on playback???
Thank you for the video. I am trying to decide whether to buy one of these. Did I understand correctly: if the unit is not hard wired, you have to turn the camera on and off every time?
In the setting on the app there’s a few option for quality are you running 720 or 1080p
You’ve got some pretty good video editing skills for a farmer!
Thanks. The camera you are using is really cristal clear (on Hannspree HS249 monitor).
Thank you for this review! I just ordered it at $127 on Amazon. Coming today. The one we have is terrible. LOL. Merry Christmas!!!
Just had this installed this week. But when I get in to drive it goes black after 10 seconds., Is it supposed to stay on while driving. I have found once I connect to the internet it has footage of me driving. Just a question. Didn't know if it should still be showing while I am driving.
How does this dash cam hold up in the arizona heat? I want to get one for my girlfriend and this is a huge factor in determining what to get.
I would recommend removing it from the dash or making sure you put a windshield sun visor up when parked. In direct sunlight, it can overheat but I think that will be true for any camera.
It claims to use a super-capacitor rather than a lithium battery for backup power, so it should hold up better in extreme temperatures.
Thank you! This was so nicely put together and detailed. Super insightful
Glad you enjoyed it!
just bought this and installed. how do you zoom in to see the licence plate on a recorded footage?
If you want to replace the 32 sd card do you need to buy two for each cam or just one ?
Just one card and it makes two folders on the card. We replaced ours with a 128gb card.
@@1StrangeAdventure okay nice thanks for responding! I’m gonna try to swap mine out with the 256
Great review!!! I see u are very close to my location in your video . I’m in Blairsville,Ga . Are u still liking the dash cam after using it for a while? And how easy is the hard wire install? Thanks
Hey does anyone has an amazon link for the lens he mentioned at the start of the video?
Hey there 🤗 Here is the link to the lens. I will say it does work well but it falls off often
amzn.to/3yp9dvv
@@1StrangeAdventure Thank you!
For parking mod, you cant use a power bank ?
I wanna know more about the car refrigerator that popped up to add 🤣
Can you do a video of the rear cam. Curious if you can use it behind the RV
Is there a way to remove the speed on the recorded footage? No way I want proof of that
Nice video & truck. Watch your video last night at work and decided this was the one. I just received my new F7NP dual cam early this morning. This is intended for my new 24 Camry Hybrid LE that’s in transit. Should be received it in a couple of weeks. In the meantime I installed the front cam in my 06 Tundra SRD. I’m not going to install the rear because the window slides down to open fully. Of course it only comes with the 32gb micro card. I’m going to purchase the 258, but what special sd micro card do I get for this cam? I read it needs to be a class 10? Anything else I need to know before I purchase it? Thx.
So after 6 plus months of use would you still recommend? I want to upgrade our setup to a 4K dash cam and possibly use travel footage from it.
Is it a good product?
We like it so far!
@@1StrangeAdventure thanks for Answering
my fps is pretty bad do i need a better memory card?
Any updates...still happy with it?
Still use it everyday!!!
@@1StrangeAdventuredoes it record 24hr
Most of the negative reviews I read on Amazon were because the people doing the reviews were idiots... One guy complained about it not being waterproof because he mounted it on the OUTSIDE of his car and it rained
🤷♂️
Question on the built in Wi-Fi. Do you need to have a Wi-Fi service in your truck? I have BlackVue 900plus & I can never find the Wi-Fi ip anymore. I had a sync drive from T-Mobile & I can’t connect it to Wi-Fi. Also how does it do sitting in direct sunlight? My BlackVue front camera doesn’t record sometimes I think due to heat. I’m considering this cam or a lte that can take a SIM card.
The dashcam havé it's own Wifi hotspot
Does this record in 60fps?
How do you see the map on the video?
I use Waze for my GPS. Can this unit's gps be shut off or not displayed? Do you know if the gps is recorded along with the video? I'm looking for a unit for my wife's new car and this one looks good. Thanks for the video.
It retains the GPS info with each clip so when you review it on your phone, you can show location, speed and even g force impact if necessary.
I have the same model but didn't know about the camera polarizing cap. Do you have a link for it? I could find it in your descrip. thanks
Here ya go: amzn.to/3NGv3yU
What’s the app called
Ummmmm, why would you record 4k video and then upload it at 1080p?
The dash cam is in 4k so you can zoom in if needed and catch details you may have otherwise miss. It's not optimized for producing video content.
do you have sound registered in the cam ? microphone
Yes- it captures sound as well.
I'm very curious, how do you get to include your travel information in Google map or some other mapping device? I can't find how to do it.
With the GPS module.
How’s the suction cup doinng? Will that stay for longer time?
The suction is pretty good. We haven’t had any problems
So this cam will NOT turn on automatically when the engine starts, that is, without the hardware kit?
That is correct. It will stay on as long as it's plugged into the 12V outlet.
@@1StrangeAdventure so I am not 100% sure. Does staying ON means it will be ON but will not record? You will have to physically press a button to record each time you want to record? This is not very convenient
Thank you.
Redtiger is the brand, F7Np is the model...
yes
Please review the viofo a139 dash cam ty in advance
Thanks for the suggestion!
How does the rear camera mount tho? Is it inside or out? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I was hoping for this also
hi, could you share the link for the polarized lens?
Sorry I’m late. Hopefully you found it but if not, here you go 😊
amzn.to/3IXnfHr
Harold thank you for this. We are actually in the market for a dash cam. Not a bad price. We are going to purchase this one!
Awesome. Glad we could help! Let me know what you think.
Do you have to subscribe to the app at all? Could I use it here in NZ?
No subscriptions necessary!
Great video, I just bought it for my Chevy Equinox, Hopefully it arrives tomorrow and I can test it out. Can't wait for it to come!!
Thank you! I hope you like it as much as we do :)
HAhahaha - trigger alert. We installed one last year :)
That’s great! Ahead of us! 🤣
This driving recorder shows 4k/2.5k on Amazon.So I'm confused whether this driving recorder is 4k or not.
Hello- the front facing dash am is in 4k. The rear facing camera is the lower resolution. That camera is separate and does not have to be installed in order to use the 4k camera.
@@1StrangeAdventure thanks for reply. I have one more question. How to change recoding mode?
Great video! I also have a ram and was thinking about getting this camera. While recording, can the screen be turn off while driving? Do you also have a video on how to install the back camera.
You can set the screen to turn off in different time increments
Please review the Guido a139
Thanks for the suggestion!
Been looking for a dashcam for awhile, found your video. Thanks for the info. And noticed you are filming basically next door. Must be staying at Talona. Stay safe!
🤣 yep. We are there now on top the hill. Glad the video was helpful. It’s been great so far!
Hey, what's the link for the lens?
Here ya go: amzn.to/3MKsDyF
The playback video footage was clear and I really like the GPS tracking information with the speed a G forces!
The GPS was an unexpected surprise. Love it!
ADAS is not there in this dash cam right ??
No it is not.
We have one, yet not installed yet. Hopefully in the next week.
You’ll love it.
Have two of these, one in my RV and one in my work truck.
Haven’t thought about having one in the RV.
Do you still like the camera after a little use?
We use it all the time. Love the way it looks even at night!
Great video! I was wondering where to put it in my RAM, not much room around that mirror I must say but doesn't seem to intrude much on visibility.. From what I see, for the money, this one is worth it. Thanks for the video.
It has worked out pretty well there. Any other place and it's too far to the side and with the windshield angle, you don't get a full clean view. Happy to help!=
Can I leave it on while parked, and use as a security camera and view it via my cell phone?
You can leave it on while parked so that it continues to record. However, you can’t access it remotely unless you’re close enough to connect to the cameras Wi-Fi signal.
@@1StrangeAdventure what is the range of the cams ? I wanted to park my van in the back, and I need at least a 70 feet range from my room.
Good video. Big help. Thanks
NP- glad we could help!
That’s a good thing to have traveling, and looks awesome and clear
It really is!
Hey there, would you happen to have a video on hiw to do the hard wiring?! I'm located in Germany and will travel to California in July and I would love to use the parking mode, but I'm not quit sure if I would be able to set up the hard wiring on the rental car...would love to see that upfront 🫣 any help would be highly appreciated 🥰
Greetings from Bremerhaven in Germany. Bye Ina 👋
I’m sorry for the delayed response. We actually didn’t do the hard wire. We haven’t had time to do it yet. I’m sorry
You CAN use à OBDS câbles or concert to a live wire.
*connect.
How difficult would it be to swap this between two vehicles (i.e. weekday commuter car, weekend truck)?
Depends on how you install it. If it’s just sitting up there plugged in to the top of your dash and you don’t go through the trouble of hiding wires, then it would be simple to move. If you want to hide wires, I would suggest a second wire kit/ mount. The camera removes easily from the mount so it would be pretty easy if you had a window mount in both vehicles.
@@1StrangeAdventure Also wondering if the rear camera helps any with hitching up or if it's just too small a screen.
Rear camera?
It comes with a rear camera but we did not use it.
hi, have yuo done a plate test?
I'm not familiar with "plate test". What is that?
@@1StrangeAdventure You should be able to read numbers or letters on license plates or tags of other cars day and night otherwise footage maybe useless for hit and run!
Thai looks like a great choice for a dash cam and easy enough for me to use 😀 Thanks for sharing
It really is!
I hardwired ours into the center console cigarette lighter and a plug in the same area that has constant power works perfectly, we have a Ram also.
