The media could not be loaded. By far the best dash cam Iv owned. So much infaxt I bought my girl one and myself another one for the back. The picture quality is amazing! Even at night! Thats what for me is the fact that it’s so clear. Although I have stupid bright headlights so I washout licencss plates. Easy fix with an editing app or ifntoue smart you say the plate number to the camera since it can hear you. And everything around you. I live in Vegas with tons of road rage and it sounds like the guy yelling at you from a tiny car next to you is in the passenger seat...while going 45 on a freeway. I’d show the clip but it got alittle violent and I don’t need that on here. However here is a clip of a jerk cutting me off so hard everything in my seats flew into the floor. I was not pleased or amused so I followed and gave him my 2cents. Literally. Threw 2 pennies at the guys car. And guess what. The camera picked up the sound of it hitting the car. Amazing eh? I’ll upload a night clip too so you can see how clear it is. The night clip will show a driver decoding last minute to get over and cut me off. After I flashed him he checked me hard making me check my friends following. I went to get around and he swerved his car into my lane. This is why we have dash cams right? I got infront and cut showed the guy he messed with the wrong truck but he ran away from me. However, had he hit me I would have gotten a new bumper :) Remember. Objects appear a lot farther. With what looks to be 10 feet away is in fact about 2. Hope these clips are helpful. Sorry for all the cussing oh last thing, I love the app it’s super user friendly and fast! I live in Vegas so the fact that this can withstand high high temps is a huge benefit. The suction cup is never fallen and I off road 3 times a week off Big rocks and burms, never fell.

I bought one of these at the end of 2019 and another at the beginning of 2021. The item fluctuates from $55 to $38. For $40 it is a five star item. At this price there is no reason everyone shouldn't have a dash cam. I don't think it will be much longer until the government requires all new vehicles to include them just as they do backup cameras.These would make the sixth and seventh dash cam I have purchased over the years (have bought/installed/supported for family). These are comparable to the $80 Aukey dash cams I purchased in 2018 (Amazon: B072FGL63X), although that page recommends a newer item for $45 that seems almost identical to the A1 (but no Wi-Fi).Every interface I have used on a dash cam leaves a lot to be desired. Even the significantly more expensive Rexing V1P (Amazon: B07FCSMJZB) I have in my personal vehicle. The addition of Wi-Fi to more easily collect footage from the camera is a great feature and it works well enough on this camera, probably better than the two Rexing cameras I've purchased. Although it's not really necessary if you won't be grabbing inconsequential clips of the typically poor driving experiences you might have.The unit has held up well to New England weather, where we get single digits and high nineties through the seasons. The suction cup has yet 't failed on me yet and dropped the camera like I experienced on an older Rexing S300 (Amazon: B018TI98PC). I prefer the suction cup/adjustable dash cams to the sticky backed ones like the Aukey, particularly for steep windshields like on a pickup truck.One unit has a SanDisk 64GB High Endurance Video MicroSDXC (Amazon: B07P3D6Y5B) and the other has a SanDisk - SDSQXA2-064G-GN6MA 64GB Extreme microSDXC (Amazon: B07FCMBLV6). I've used Samsung (MB-ME32GA/AM) 32GB 95MB/s (U1) microSDHC EVO (Amazon: B06XWN9Q99) cards in the past. Generally speaking the higher capacity cards have better performance, and I have ran into a couple issues with EVOs. Between the constant recording and weather they don't seem to like being in dash cams. I needed to format the 32GB cards more often. I tested with an old slower 16GB Kingston MicroSD card and actually had corrupted files. As a note most dash cam instructions say you should be formatting the cards every once in a while, I do mine every 3 months or so.One of my family members would have been deemed 100% at fault due to an accident they were involved in as the other party lied on their police report and for whatever reason the police officer who did not witness the accident wrote completely inaccurate information regarding the circumstances. With the dash cam footage they were deemed 0% at fault.Another family member was backed into while they were parked with their vehicle still running and due to hearsay would have been deemed 50% at fault as the other driver lied and claimed that they were the ones who were hit by my family member. Once again the dash cam footage saved the day and they were deemed 0% at fault.Another family member was involved in an accident where their car was totaled on the highway by a driver weaving in and out of traffic who pitted their car into guardrail while they were driving in the slow lane. The driver immediately fled into the woods on foot but luckily not before their face was caught on the dash cam. The other driver/vehicle inevitability had no license, insurance, registration, or inspection, the plates were stolen and the title was to a woman while they were hit by a man. The owner of the vehicle tried claiming the vehicle was stolen, but rescinded this statement when she learned the dash cam footage showed the driver was her son. Without the dash cam we would not have been able to prove who was driving to vehicle to hold them accountable.On a more positive note the dash cams provided some nice footage from a COVID-19 drive-by birthday convoy.Hopefully a dash cam is just something you purchase, put on the windshield and don't think about. Maybe it will save you a lot of headache and thousands of dollars though. For $40 (+ $15ish for an SD-Card) it is hard to go wrong.

The Roav A1 is easy to use and the WiFi feature makes it easy to download video files. This is my first dash cam so I can't compare it to the competition, but I'm happy with my purchase, especially at the low price. I do wish it were a little smaller.I was hesitant about purchasing a dash cam because of the power cable -- I don't feel comfortable routing it along the A-pillar due to concerns about it interfering with the A-pillar air bag. I wasn't about to go trying to remove the A-pillar panel to route the cable away from the air bag. That's just not me. I investigated products that allow the dash cam to plug into a vehicles' auto-dimming mirror, but there isn't anything out there that is pure plug and play without extensive dismantling of my car's mirror.So I mounted the suction cup mount low on my windshield. (See the photos.) This way the camera is almost behind the infotainment screen and most of the wire is tucked away behind that screen. There's just a small portion of wire extending down to the charger, but I already have cables there to charge my phone and link to Apple CarPlay, so it doesn't bother me.I've included a screenshot of what the camera sees mounted low. I feel it has a sufficiently commanding view of the road and is doing what I need it to do, without my messing with my car's headliner and A-pillar. I wanted to post this in case there are others who would like a dash cam but are put off by the problem of hiding the power cable -- mounting it low on your windshield is a viable option.

Fantastic dashcam. Good picture quality day and night. Can handle a 128GB card. Good suction mount, although it did fall off this summer during a 40 C heatwave. Micro USB connector.Roav is an Anker product, excellent build quality.

Todavía estoy por instalarla. Es para un automóvil híbrido y me estoy asegurando que su instalación no anula la garantía del auto. Es un Ioniq, y parece que no hay problema porque se conecta a la entrada tipo encendedor 12 V. que ya trae el coche.

Die von AnkerDirect DE vertriebene ROAV Dash Cam A1 (Herstellerseite goroav(dot)com) ist eine recht günstige Dashcam mit Sony Exmor 323 Sensor.Die Bildqualität ist Dank des Sony Sensors in FULL HD Auflösung 1920x180 exzellent und Bewegung bei 30 Hz in dieser Auflösung flüssig und ohne jegliches Stottern/Ruckeln. Selbst schwierige Lichtverhältnisse in Baumalleen liefern Videos ohne jeglichen Makel und mit großer Schärfe.Bei meinem Fahrzeug Opel Meriva B habe ich die Kamera mittels der kleinen Saugnapfbefestigung rechts hinter den Rückspiegel befestigt und das Kabel unsichtbar mit dem beiliegenden orangen Plastikwerkzeug in den Dachhimmel rechts über die Türdichtung hinter das Handschuhfach in die Mittelkonsole verlegt. Montageaufwand ca. 15 Minuten und ich habe das noch nie gemacht!Tipp: Die Linse der Kamera an einer Stelle platzieren, die von einem Scheibenwischer auch erreicht wird. Der Rückspiegel sollte den größten Teil der Kamera verdecken, damit diese das Sichtfeld nicht einschränkt.Die Menüführung ist absolut einfach und auch ohne Handbuch verständlich. Ich habe eine SD-Karte 32 GB Class 10 eines Markenherstellers eingesetzt. Die Karte muss in der Kamera formatiert werden, damit sie zukünftig akzeptiert wird. Die Video-Clips sind wahlweise 1,3, 5 oder 10 Minuten lang. Wenn die SD-Karte voll ist, werden die ältesten ungeschützten Dateien gelöscht. Ein G-Sensor schützt automatisch die aktuelle Aufnahme, sollte eine (zu große) Erschütterung wahrgenommen werden. Die Empfindlichkeit lässt sich einstellen und eine Anpassung an mein Fahrzeug war auch notwendig, da sonst durch Fahrten über Kopfsteinpflaster und durch Türenzuschlagen ungewollt geschützte Video-Aufnahmen entstanden sind. Es gibt auch eine Überwachung beim Parken, diesen Modus verwende ich jedoch nicht.Mittels einer App (Android Play Store, App-Name „Roav“ von Anker) kann man via Wifi auf die Kamera zugreifen und drahtlos Videos herunterladen, Anleitungen lesen oder einen Firmware-Update durchführen. Letzteres habe ich noch nicht gemacht, da anscheinend die Firmware in meiner A1 aktuell ist.Die Kamera ist nun seit 3 Tagen im Einsatz und ich bin so zufrieden, dass ich diese Dashcam noch einmal für ein weiteres Fahrzeug in der Familie kaufen werde.Pros:- Super Bildqualität bei Full HD Auflösung 1920x1080 p mit 30Hz (bei youtube gibt es genug Videos zu „Roav Dashcam A1“- problemloser einfacher Einbau- einfache Bedienung (wenn einmal eingerichtet, muss eigentlich nichts mehr gemacht werden)- drahtloses Herunterladen von Videos aufs Handy möglich; Herausnahme der SD-Karte somit nicht notwendig, aber auch am PC ist die SD-Karte einfach zu lesen und die gewünschten Video-Clips anhand der Dateinamen bzgl. Datum und Zeit zu lokalisierenContra:- Die Übertragung von Daten über WLAN ist aufgrund der eingeschränkten Bandbreite von ca. 1 MB/s etwas langwierig. Dann dauert der Transfer von einem 3 Minuten-Clip mit 450-500 MB schon einmal einige Minuten.Verbesserungswürdig, aktuelle Firmware war R2241:- Die Kamera hat einen Notfall-/Emergency-Knopf (der orangene/rote Kringel), der bei Betätigung die aktuelle Aufnahme vor dem Löschen schützen soll. Bei ausgeschaltetem Display muss dieser Knopf jedoch zweimal (2x) gedrückt werden, da der erste Tastendruck nur das Display einschaltet. Das ist nicht allen Familienmitgliedern einfach zu vermitteln und sicherlich in der Software/Firmware änderbar. In einem Notfall muss die Bedienung absolut intuitiv sein und kein spezielles Zusatzwissen erfordern.- Bei der automatischen Sicherung einer laufenden Aufnahme durch den G-Sensors oder durch die manuelle Betätigung des Notfall-Knopfes wird nur die aktuelle Aufnahme zuzüglich 30 Sekunden gegen das ungewollte Löschen geschützt. Wenn die aktuelle Aufnahme gerade auf eine neue Datei gewechselt hat und erst 10 Sekunden lief, ist dieser „Notfall-Clip“ also nur 45 Sekunden lang und die kritische Szene in der vorherigen Datei bleibt ungeschützt. Aus meiner Sicht sollten sicherheitshalber immer die VORHERIGE UND die AKTUELLE Aufnahmen gegen das Löschen geschützt werden.- Trotz der Konfigurationsmöglichkeit 50 oder 60 Hz hat dies zur Zeit keinen Einfluss auf die Bildwiederholfrequenz der erstellten Videos entgegen den Angaben im Handbuch, wonach bei der Einstellung 50 Hz entweder 25 oder 50 frames-per-second verwendet werden soll. Aktuell geht nur 30 bzw 60 fps, ist aber keine Beinbruch, da hier mehr auch besser ist und die modernen Fernseher alle diese Bildwiederholraten beherrschen.Von mir volle Punktzahl, sehr empfehlenswert.

Fit and forget - great viewing angle and night vision good too !

Easy to install and good value!
