Great dash cam. Box contained everything I needed, I believe. I opted to have the dashcam professionally installed into my 2010 Toyota Prius with hardwiring because the manual contains a warning that the included OBD hardwire kit would not be suitable for hybrid vehicles. I did need to buy this as a separate Pelsee kit, but was reimbursed once I reached out to customer support (since the manual said to reach out to them for this kit). Video quality is excellent during the day and at night, but admittedly not the rear view camera is not great in the rain. However, I opted to have my rear dash cam installed outside, so it of course got rained on. Maybe I need to install some sort of covering on it. Outside of that - it is very high quality and license plate numbers are easily recorded in the front and back cameras. When I first installed the dash cam, I had issues with the device rebooting and hearing static noises like audio being cut off. After troubleshooting with Shealyn in customer service, we were able to resolve the issue completely with a firmware update. This meant wiping the SD card using the camera (or app, as apparently is an option, but not the one I took), and dragging in a file onto the card with a computer. Strangely enough, the card was not readable on my MacOS laptop, so I had to use my Linux desktop instead. I'm uncertain if using a phone with suitable adapter or Windows works, but just a heads up. I don't see why Windows wouldn't work, but the MacOS not being able to read the card after properly reformatting it was strange. I love the ADAS features - it's really great for the rear view collision warnings that are early enough to react to. There is an option to warn if the car in front of you has moved, but I found more often than not that I've already started driving when it alerts me. I've heard the lane drift warning only a couple times but that was also genuinely helpful. Customer service was great. Thank you Shealyn for sticking with me to figure out the firmware issue. In terms of value, I think it's worth the $250 I spent for it. 2010 Priuses didn't have any of the features. I bought it initially for the backup camera and would have been satisfied paying $250 just for that, but ended up getting everything else as a bonus. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I'm so happy with this dash cam, easy 5 stars! Set up and installation was fairly easy, there's plenty of videos out there if you need help. The wiring just tucks up into the head liner and you plug in to your 12V accessory port, or the OBD port like I did for continuous power even when the car is off. I love that this package comes with an OBD adapter, many other dash cams don't! The screen size is bigger than a typical rear view mirror, but not obtrusive. Very responsive with no lagging. Just set up how you want it, then you literally don't need to touch it, it just works! You can have the digital display on all the time, or not at all. Mine is set to turn the display off after 1 minute of driving. But when the rear is fully loaded and I can't see out the mirror, I use the rear camera display so I can see despite all the cargo. In today's world, everyone should have a dash cam. With the super high resolution and continual recording, including footage lock capability, impact sensors, safety alerts, and night time security mode, you can rest assured that you'll have the footage you need for a police report, insurance claim, or even for your own. You can record audio, or turn it off if you want. Easily download the footage wirelessly, or with the included microSD card. I'm impressed with the night resolution, both front and rear, and the quality of the time lapse security footage. Even at night in the rain, the images were fairly clear. I had one minor issue with the rear image reversing itself at every start up. I contacted customer support and got an immediate response with an immediate software fix. I downloaded the update and installed it on the microSD card using a Chromebook (doesn't work on Mac). Now it's all set up exactly how I want it! Overall, this is a top buy, easily 5 stars. Very impressed with the quality of the hardware, the responsiveness of the display, the resolution of both cameras, and low light image quality. I can verify that this works in sub-zero temperatures with no problems! Read more
Pleasantly surprised with this product, Pelsee P12 Pro Max. Initially purchased just for a backup camera on my 2001 Toyota Tundra. Both front and rear cameras are very clear, and especially at night. Got a lot of extras as the kit comes with a GPS antenna which enables the following safety features: Lane Departure, Forward Collision Warning, Front Vehicle Start Alerts, and Maintain Safe Distance. Voice commands are a great feature. Putting vehicle in reverse, the rear camera quickly comes on with helpful grid lines to help guide you. I had professional install from Best Buy on 1/6/26. Used Hardwire Kit, not OBD (thus avoiding possible OBD error code issues at vehicle servicing). Using Hardwire Kit also enables 24 hour Parking Monitor and low voltage monitoring, with 128GB SD Card for extended recording. The cost was well below other rearview camera options. Easy to navigate and adjust settings directly from the rearview mirror. Includes WiFi connection for additional features and downloads directly to your phone. Highly recommend this unit. Enjoy. :-) Note: for installation of backup camera, you will likely need to separately purchase a license plate mounting bracket for the camera. The rear camera cable length is 33' which worked perfectly for my extended cab with 6' bed. Many units only come with 24' cable. Read more
