This is my 3rd COOAU dashcam. They are great quality, affordable, easy to operate, and easy to install. The D30S has an useful suction cup mount that does away with the 3M tape, so it's easy to move around to get the best angle. The screen and video quality is great, too. The app is user-friendly and connects my phone to the dashcam to access videos and settings. I've had it installed for about 2 weeks now, and have had no issues. I upgrade this unit from an older COOAU model, and it took me less than 5 minutes. I was able to use the existing power cable and once I mounted it to the windshield, I just connected it to the existing app on my phone. Simple! We started using dashcams for our safety. We like the peace of mind they provide us. Read more
Great little camera. Set up easily, pictures are sharp and clear, suction cup mount works really well and lets the camera be easily repositioned, if placed behind and just below rear-view mirror it's unobtrusive and doesn't obstruct view. App is intuitive and works well. COOAU advises to use a name-brand storage card, but I used a MicroCenter card and it worked fine, though I did have to format it twice. Read more
Very simple to set up and easy to use. I've had this product over 5 years and never experienced an issue with it. Easy to erase old data, starts recording immediately. I've been in 2 accidents which were not my fault and both times the other drive said it was. This video quality was so clear it not only helped my claim but the look of panic on the drivers faces when the police officer told them I had a dash cam was priceless. Read more
I've had this camera for two years now, and for the most part, it's been pretty solid! The set-up is easy, and the video quality is great. I love having the simultaneous inside and outside filming, which is one of the reasons I got this particular model The only aspects that can be confusing or difficult: once in a while, it will automatically go to a screen where it asks if I want to delete the memory card. Also, while I could always pull the memory card out to retrieve content, sometimes it won't allow me to connect from my phone using their app. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Otherwise - for the price, and the fact that it's still been recording constantly for over two years now, I can definitely recommend this one! Read more
If you’re looking for a reliable dash cam that delivers great performance without breaking the bank, I highly recommend the Cooau dash cams. I’ve been using Cooau products for several years, and they’ve consistently been excellent. I recently upgraded to their newest model, and it’s even better — the system runs smoothly and delivers impressive video quality both day and night. For anyone in need of an affordable, high-quality dash cam for their vehicle, this is a solid choice. Read more
First unit arrived defective - and seller quickly exchanged it. Second unit was good - but with the substantial design problems below. Finally got the very specific sd card required for this unit - not included and needed to buy separately - and now the unit is fully set up - so ready to use the app. Downloaded the Ficam app - which is the only way to get into the settings - and the app does not work. No way to set up an account with the way it is designed - and just an endless loop of error messages. Because the Seller was responsive enough to refund the cost of this unit due to all the issues, I can afford to throw this unit in the garbage. Wasted enough time on this badly designed dash cam - will be buying the next one from a major manufacturer off Amazo - learned my lesson here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous review: The COOAU Dash Cam D30 has great picture quality and I really like the built in camera to easily record the interior - but the dash cam needs some design improvements: 1. the power cord plug that goes into the cigarette lighter outlet does not have a usb port to also charge your phone in the car - the dash cam plug hogs the whole thing, unlike other manufacturers that design that as standard 2. the settings menu is very difficult to get to once you put an SD card in - the unit starts recording and does not allow you into settings, so you have to take out the SD card and set up the unit like the first time if you ever want to change a setting or you have to contact customer service for a better answer than in the manual 3 the Ficam app to use the wifi features is rated "3.2" on the PlayStore and the most recent reviews say it is full of glitches and causes many problems on phones it is used on - so proceed with caution. On the plus side the unit is one of the few that is designed to record forward and interior in one unit without running lots of cables and when I contacted customer service they were very responsive and addressed each concern.
