myGEKOgear Orbit 530 Full HD 1296p Dashcam with 2" LCD Screen & Wi-Fi - Only at Best Buy

Tested continuous video recording on a 32G micro SD for 72hrs, the cam works fine. The app through wifi video/image view and transfer also works fine on my two apple devices within a range of about 8 meters. The live video view through the wifi connection with the cam will cut off if receiving device moves more than 8 meters away from the cam. I noticed the 1296p claim is exaggerated as at 1728 x 1296p setting you will get horizontally compressed video and image. You will end up using 1080p setting to get the video and image at real proportion. For this I can only give it a 4-star for exaggerated claim. The manual is not very well written and lack of details. For example, the "Recording Mode" has three modes but no explanation on how each mode works.

My old one didn't record my rear end accident, so I started checking around as I wanted one that would back me up in an accident. I wanted a camera that faced frontwards only. I bought this one and couldn't believe how easy it was to set up. I used the sticky mount, as I have had a lot of problems with the suction cup mount in the past. After trying it out and checking the picture quality, I bought another one for my other vehicle, Then to top it off, I decided to buy one for my very close lady friend, which she will get as a Christmas present. The hardest part of the installation was hiding the cable. 1296p makes for a beautiful picture. Yes, for the price, this camera cannot be beat.

The dashcam was easy to set up and comes with an SD card, which a lot of other cams do not. You have to format the card first, to do this insert it into your computer, find the SD card under My Computer, right click and Format (quick). Features are straightforward but you can watch Youtube videos to help navigate them. Cam starts recording automatically when plugged in. Came with both a suction cup mount and an adhesive tape mount. Great value for the price.

This is surprisingly good dash camera. I did not expect much from it because it is one of less expensive dash cams available at Best Buy. What i like about this dash cam is the following. 1. Image quality is nice and sharp both during day and at night. License plates are easily readable. 2. Dash cam is charged through USB cable that can be connected to 12V car charger with two USB plug-Ins. This way phone and dash cam can be charged at the same time. For example more expensive Thinkware dash cam does not have this feature. 3. installation on the windshield is easy and this dash cam has two mounting option : a suction cup mount and a 3M adhesive mount. 4. Geko DVR phone apps has many useful features like updating firmware or viewing recorded videos. I had it connected to my dash cam through wi-fi in no time Overall excellent product given its low price.

I had been looking for a dash cam for some Time and kept putting off getting one. One day I saw this dash cam in Best Buy’s deals of the day and figured I’d give it a shot. Pros: Installation really couldn’t have been easier. It was so intuitive I didn’t even need the manual. Additionally, on the contrary to what other users said, the iOS app is equally easy to use. Cons: At this price, in my opinion, it should be a two-way dash cam, which is my only real complaint. However, I was in the market for a front-facing dash cam, and this does fine for that. All-in-all, if you need a front-facing dash cam that’s easy to set up, this dash cam will do that just fine.
