## Description

Review: I thought this information might be useful to others - I rarely comment or review purchases, but in this case, I thought this information might be useful to others. I was not paid nor provided with any discount in order to write this review. I have had the Auto-Vox A118-C/B40-C dashboard camera for about a month and a half now, and it is working very well so far. The camera is very small and not very noticeable. Nice device design overall. I placed it in the black dots area of the windshield, to one side of the rear view mirror, with the lens protruding just below the black dots area. The camera is very light so it sticks well, even in the dotted area. With a settings of 5 minutes per video segment, it writes a segment to the SD card every five minutes, and overwrites the oldest segments when the SD card gets full. Each 5 minute segment of video is written as a .MOV file, which takes approximately 400,000 KBs, when recording at 1080P. That allows about 6 hours of recording on a 32GB SD card. The SD card has a folder named MOVIE, where all video segments are normally saved. Under the MOVIE folder, there is also a folder called RO (for ReadOnly), where the video segments are stored when the G-Sensor (a collision, or bump in the road) is activated, or when the OK button on the device is pushed. The content of the RO folder is never overwritten. The unit has a small screen thru which configuration can be done, which eliminates the need to connect the unit to a computer in order to configure it. The middle white LED indicates power is on, the left red LED blinks when recording, and the right hand red LED blinks when recording audio. The easy way to view the files on the SD card is to remove the device from the car and use the supplied USB cable to connect the device to a computer. When the device powers on after plugging it into the computer, the screen on the device shows a choice of Mass Storage or PC Camera. Select Mass Storage (which is the default) and press OK on the device. The device is then recognized by the computer and is accessible as just another drive where you can view the contents of the MOVIE and RO folders. I am not an expert in video quality, but the captured videos look very good, certainly good enough to capture any activity leading to a car accident. Even night videos appear good enough for that purpose. In summary, I am so far very satisfied with this product as it does exactly what it is designed to do. I am waiting to see if it will still function well in the above 100 oF, or 110 oF summer heat with high humidity. By the way, I have had to contact Auto-Vox's customer support (service-am@auto-vox.com) because the car charger cable end was a bit flaky and needed replacing. To my pleasant surprise, I got an immediate reply the very same day, telling me that a replacement car charger cable was being shipped from China. Got it about 15 days later. Wow! Great Service. Update May 2017: After a little over a year, this unit still works well, but with one exception. It has a thermal cut off switch which turns the unit off when the temperature inside the car is too high. In northern states of the US, you may seldom encounter this problem,but if you live in southern states, you may experience many situations where the unit simply does not come on until you have driven for a while and the temperature inside the car has come back down to a reasonable level. Unfortunately, the unit does not come back on automatically when the temperature has come down, so power to it must be turned off and on to have it become active again. (I just unplug at the unit and plug it back in).
Review: Misses action while writing files (Update: the device has stopped booting) - UPDATE: So after less than 5 months of owning the camera it has stopped booting. It just gets stuck in the boot screen which says "auto vox". I have tried multiple memory cards which work in other cameras and resetting the device but nothing has worked. I am currently in contact with their support which is fairly responsive, but they keep telling me to try basically the same thing (reformat sd card, try another sd card, reset device) in different ways. I have changed my review to one star for now. ------------------- I had been researching for the best dash cam for the money and ultimately I ended up with this one. It has a small form factor and is fairly cheap compared to the others. I think it is ok except for a few things which others haven't really mentioned, and one really big one which is kind of a deal breaker. Bottom line I would look elsewhere. 1. The camera will miss seconds of recording between writing files! I didn't realize this until I needed it but it completely missed some reckless driving. I assume because it was busy writing one of its many files. The gap between the two files was a few seconds but that was enough to miss what I needed. 2. The capacitor models seem to need a few minutes of being powered before they can reliably write the video file after getting turned off. At first while testing I was plugging the camera in, taking a few seconds of video and then unplugging it. I ended up with corrupted videos every time until I realized it had to be on for longer, guess for the capacitors to charge up enough to give the unit enough time to write files after being powered off. 3. The camera writes a lot of files. Each file is limited to 3 minutes by default if I recall correctly and you can increase that to 10 minutes. This means it is kind of a pain to back track in your day to find a specific event since you will have a lot of separate files and not one continuous video. I haven't played with much of the other options yet besides turning off the g-shock sensing. This feature basically saves video files when a shock is detected so that they won't be overwritten by new footage. In practice bumps in the road would randomly save files and take up space on the default sensitivity. I have a 32GB card and I get 150 minutes of videos.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works even with 64Gb
*by D***T on February 2, 2016*

Bought 2 of them and like them because of shape and mount. It is easy to mount/connect and forget. Due to mount directly to window, video is less shacky and better quality. That is main reason I bought it. Somebody saying that display is small. I'm ok with that. This is camera to record but not to watch video. To get 64Gb sd card support, you have to format it to FAT32 (not extFAT). Video qality is acceptable as for evidence and as for money I paid. At night video is worse and you cannot see license plate number at motion. There is almost zero manual and some settings do nothing (China product:( ). Video is playing great on VLC player. Do not see any missings.
