I purchased this camera based on some third party reviews I found not realizing this and some others are copy-cat models of the original GS1000 dash cam.

While I'm still learning and beginning to use the camera, the instructions are not much more than a how-to that means nothing until you figure out that the buttons are used in pairs, multiples to access certain menu/functions. My Windows7 operating system does not recognize this device nor does the supplied "driver" cd provide any driver or software that can be used to view/update drivers or firmware. Essentially you're on your own trying to get this to work with your laptop...I actually had better luck on the tv. This device might be easier to use if it came with a remote like some other models since this device was clearly made outside of the United States therefore not US centric design. Since I just now figured out how to manipulate the buttons to get to the menu functions, I'm still hopeful that I will be able to find some software that is compatible with this device to allow firmware/driver updates when needed and also allow me to view the captured images without using an SD card adapter since this camera uses a micro SD card.

I'm a highly technical person so if you're not, you may want to consider something more user-friendly.

I got this dashboard camera from the shipper in good time. I read the instructions. Got the camera out and set it up on the computer, it would not come on. The light said it had power so I left it to charge for a bit. For the program to review it with the map, if you do not know much about computers you may have a bit of a problem installing the program. So a few hours later it still did not work. Next day I set it up in the car and that is when it worked. I could not get to the Menu to setting to work in the car. So I drove for the day with the way it was from the box and return home, took the camera out of the car. Set it up on the computer, It came on this time. The instructions dos not help in the menu at all. I tried to change the length of recording time. But it dos mot show it in minutes. I also tried to change the speed read out from Kilometers miles per hour which I could not accomplish. The quality of the video for the day is good, but at night was not so good. The GPS and map function when working is way off about 80 to 100 miles. I have the unit for over a week now the battery in it is no good. I have not been able to get back into the menu since the first time. I have had to put on the camera several times while driving. It somehow turns itself off. And last of all the video recording is not reliable. This is why I got the camera in the first place. I like it for the size and what it does. But it does not do what the manufacture says it does. I would not recommend it.

I have attached a video that was set to record for 15 minutes, but this is how long it has recorded several times in a row. two short less 33 seconds and one just over 2 minutes.

I bought a GS1000 with GPS logger from E_bay for around $90. Worked great. Picture quality was great and low light performance was good. I liked it so much that I decide to get another one from E_bay. Since I didn't need the GPS logger function, I decide to get the GS1000 without GPS for around $45.

There are many "GS1000" without the GPS for sale on E_bay. Almost all of them are less than $50. Some of these advertised as 1.3M sensors. At least these sellers are honest. Other of these "GS1000" (without the GPS) advertise them with 5M sensor. I was careful to buy the one with 5M sensor. Well, big disappointment, the picture quality is not even close to the real GS1000 and when lights gets a bit dim, the camera is recoding nearly completely black due to the inferior sensor.

So be careful of the the "GS1000" without the GPS logger on E_bay and elsewhere.

4 stars for the real GS1000 and 1 star for the fake ones.

Bought this camera based on third party reviews (). The product itself works great exactly as described. The camera ended up being the 'New Blue Menu" version with the latest firmware 2.04. I was crossing my fingers for the Orange Menu, but no complaints. After my purchase I contacted Maxwell about which version I was going to receive, they got back with a fast reply but claimed they had no clue which version they were shipping.
