First let me say the play back on this is wonderful. However. The battery would never charge. Has to be kept plugged in tho the cig, lighter. Also because of the no charge you will have to reset the date (not a easy task) each time you go for a drive. For the price of the camera I can live with it. However not to sure what the legal aspect will be if something happens and the date on the playback is always Jan 1 2010. For me the price is not worth the effort packing and sending back. I will be putting out the extra money and buy a more sturdier camera. Also the battery costs as much as the camera did. That is why I did not replace

Reasons for my rating:

inadequate build quality: LCD flip screen flexed a lot under normal touch while opening as result, LCD itself fell out and hung by the wires, had to be taped in temporarily; status LED's, hidden in the same pinhole (no lens), are hard to see and interpret; power cord falls out of the unit easily; I felt that there were too many quality shortcuts.

battery was not charging the unit still worked when plugged into 12V outlet, however, any changes in settings were not memorized by the unit. As result, every time on startup all settings were back to default: time stamp was the same 1/1/2010 (or so), video length set to 2 minutes, and so on; recorder could not be used without 12V source.

manual is not the worst one I've seen, however, print is too small for example, it was impossible to discern the numbers on diagram, even with magnifier.

video quality: not up to 720p standards, as far as I can see. Wasn't able to read license plates, at any distance, under any lighting conditions. The unit is essentially useless at night, producing dark screen with lights moving around, and not much else. Otherwise, picture quality seems to be on par with other cheap cameras on Amazon, as far as user videos show. Sound recording is OK, however, there were some strange pitches recorded that I would not even recognize.

Overall, in my experience, this unit is simply not worth the trouble of trying. Yes, it kind of works in a pinch, if you desperately need a basic car recorder however, there are even cheaper alternatives of seemingly similar quality here, on Amazon. Cannot recommend.
