A fantastic pair of dashcams that are difficult not to like
These are a fantastic pair of dashcams. Firstly you get a very excellent front dashcam that has the majority of the brains and connectivity. Then you have a rear camera that connects to the front for simultaneous rear view video recording. Then there is the additional camera on the back of the main dashcam that records the car interior.Is the image any good? Absolutely is! You’d hope so too seeing as both dashcams feature the newer and more high tech Starvis 2 image sensors made by Sony. You’re getting a lot of quality imagery here.A nice touch is the supplied 128gb SD card for storage. You also have GPS capability for speed and location plus 5Ghz WiFi to connect to phones etc. The main dashcam responds also to voice control with a reasonable list of recognised commands.I contacted support as I wanted to try out the equivalent of sentry mode ie parking mode. They were speedy to respond and very helpful. I’d actually asked where I could buy the hard wiring kit for the dashcam as it’s a prerequisite for parking mode. They instead offered to send it me free so I graciously accepted. Used the cameras a number of times now and I’m very impressed indeed. Red tiger are really making a name for themselves in the dashcam space.Only minor criticism is parking mode still does have a bit of a delay to record as the unit has to power up and start recording losing a good number of seconds. If your aim is to catch someone keying your car this may not catch that footage unless they’re the slowest car Keyers in history. If it’s to protect against people bumping your car in a car park or trying to break into it then it could still capture what you need.As this isn’t its primary use I still feel this is a 5 star product. Probably the best third party dash cam I’ve come across.

Installation a little tricky, but Good Quality Cameras and Decent Functionality
This is a good quality set of cameras for your car. Not just dashcam, but rear and interior as well. Properly installed and aligned you'll cover all areas. As others have mentioned the alignment of certain aspects does indicate that this is intended for left hand drive cars, but this doesn't affect results too much.Video quality is very good, as you'd expect from a camera at this price point and all parts appear to be well made and robust.Installation is a little tricky and hiding the wires is a bit of a pain, to be honest. You might want to look at having this professionally installed if you don't want to have cables dangling and showing. I'll make do, but there're no denying thatc cables showing do rather take the shine off the look of the car. It reminds me of some of my, less than ideal speaker / car stereo installations of the 1980s!Any, all in all a good set of cameras which function well and provide an extra layer of security and confidence.

Terrific dashcam but not without fault
Spec-wise, you couldn’t ask for much more, with camera coverage forwards, backwards and inside the car, all in colour, day and night. It could probably be described as a car security system instead of just a dashcam. It’s neat and unobtrusive, yet they managed to squeeze in a good 3” touch display.To get the best out of it, you’ll need to hard-wire it to the car’s electrics. For most people, that probably won’t be a DIY job. Either way, you’ll need the ‘Redtiger Dash Cam Hardwire Kit’:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09WCTZ3Y8/You’ll also need to find a way of running a cable to the rear camera, which may be tricky to do neatly in some cars.The supplied SD card is 128GB. It may well be worth investing in a bigger one but make sure it’s suitable for dashcam continuous writing. A SanDisk High Endurance card, for example, 256GB or 512GB.Other reviewers have gone into detail on performance (which is first-rate, especially given HD resolution on the main camera), the app (does the job but I’ve used better), and features such as voice control (usable if you learn the required precise commends).Two things let it down a little, for me:1. It seems to have been designed for LHD cars. If the unit is placed where it should be, on the passenger side of the rear-view mirror, the internal camera lens tends to be looking at the back of the rear view mirror unless you position it way over to the left. Doing that, however, is likely to be annoying for the passenger and mean the lens doesn’t see the driver.2. M Fowler, in his review, is right to complain about the absence of a polarising filter. It’s useful to have one to reduce or eliminate windscreen reflections.If you can live with those issues, this is one of the best dashcams out there. Pricey, yes, but you get a lot for your money. It's probably worth finding the cash, if you want the triple cameras and high-quality images the F17 Elite offers.

first impressions are good.
I'll get my gripe out of the way first... for the price of this unit I would have expected a polarising cover on the lens to eliminate glare from the inside of the windscreen and dashboard, which is very annoying. But for the most part it is just on all the time and I never notice it. A tap on the touch screen brings it to life and you can see what you are pointing the camera at. It would be nice if there was also a tiny Allen key included so the mount can be tightened up, it's too loose for a touch screen and needs adjusting all the time. The rear camera will be installed when I change my van to a car later in the year, but it's pretty neat. It was good they also included a 128gb memory card, which for the high image quality is essential really. It's also hardwired in so looks neat too. All in all, nice piece of kit and a real upgrade from the cheapo I had as a temporary unit when my last one gave up. (Before and after!)**Aftersales support is superb too - Thanks Emma***
