This is a lightweight dual mode, twin camera dashcam that can give full 4K resolution in front camera mode and 2160p front and 1080p rear at 30 frames per second when in dual camera mode. That's not all it does, you can connect to the camera over wifi to configure and control it and to download video and photos.

Packaged in a large and rather upmarket product box aside from the front camera there is also the small rear camera and hardwired 19ft cable, power adaptor with 9ft cable, spudger tool, 2 electrostatic mounting stickers and User Guide. The User Guide, unlike most, was very well printed, easy to read and informative. A nice bonus is the inclusion of a prefitted 32GB TF memory card.

Most dashcams are single camera units but this system is supplied with a second small camera that is attached by cable to the front camera and can be positioned in the back window to continuously record activity behind the car in addition to the video recorded by the main camera. The rear camera is connected by a lengthy cable to a socket on the main camera. The front camera has a 170-degree angle of view according to the User Guide, the rear camera has a 140-degree lens. Both cameras give a clear, detailed and sharp image at 30 frames per second.

Fixing the camera to the mirror on my Toyota Aygo was easy enough and the cables were easily long enough for both cameras. Fitting the second camera was more of a chore as the cable has to be wound through the car from front to back but once it is done there should be no need to adjust it again. The rear camera is optional as the main camera will work perfectly well without it. I prefer to use just the front camera to get full advantage of the 4K video.

The dashcam is controlled and configured using the JarvisCam app connected to a Wifi hotspot generated by the camera. You can select to operate in various modes: front camera only at 4K'@30fps, front and rear both at 1080p@30fps, or front cam 2160p@30fp and rear cam also at 1080p@30fps. Various other options can be set including the microphone, loop recording time, etc. Recordings can also be selected, viewed on the app or downloaded. Neither camera has a built in screen and so all configuration must be done through the app but after this the camera can operate independently.

I found the image quality to be excellent although in low light conditions, the image quality dropped somewhat. Image quality is crucial for dashcams as it is important to be able to clearly identify number plates and other details in a recorded incident. The camera has the all-important G-Sensor which autosaves and protects video files in which it detects a sudden stop or impact.

Don’t complain about the lack of GPS because although it can be fun at first to trace your route on the screen map remember that in the event of an incident, the police may review all the files on the card and use previous driving speeding errors detected by the GPS against you. The camera does have a microphone which can be useful in the event of an incident if you are quick-witted enough to read aloud the numbers of the cars involved. It has two parking modes but I have never found parking mode to be much use in any camera due to the delay in awakening the camera following triggering. Also, to allow parking mode to work when the ignition is off additional wiring will be n The only worthwhile feature lacking for me is that of a second dual write TF card, handy so you always have a copy of the card handed to the police.

This is an excellent dashcam, versatile and easy to use that is capable of giving excellent results for a very reasonable price.
