Greatly misrepresented
Average rating:1out of5stars, based on0reviews
Even at the fire sale price of $9.00, this camera does almost nothing it advertises. First, the picture is not HD in any way, shape or form. At best it's a 640x480 sensor blown up to HD dimensions. You won't even be able to read license plates unless you're sitting on their bumper and even that's marginal given the Scosche's inability to handle basic dynamic lighting and glare. Second, the advertised view angle is amazingly exaggerated and only gets narrower as you increase image definition. At 1080, you're probably getting 45' degrees at best, which is almost unusable narrow. The night vision is just as laughable, consisting of normal white LEDs. Seriously, it doesn't even automatically switch between day and night. About the only thing this camera is good for is maybe recording an accident. You'll get the car color and that's probably about it. My sample struggled to even read the manufacturing badging on cars right in front of me becuse of its inability to cope with lighting. Avoid at all cost. Your $9 is better spent at McDonalds.

1 and only review..
