While dash cams have long been essential equipment for law enforcement, driving instructors, taxi and truck drivers today it’s nearly commonplace to see a dash cam on a driver’s dashboard. 

Like the smart home camera, a dash cam empowers you to take control of your car’s security, allowing you to record incidents like vandalism, collisions, surly passengers and theft. I will be reviewing one such dash cam the Z-Edge F1 Dual Dash Cam.

Feature Description

Z-EDGE F1 Dash Cam Feature

1.     Loop Recording

Enables the camera to overwrite on to the memory card over previously recorded videos. This feature means you don’t have to manually delete any footage to make more space for new recordings. 

Yes

2.     High Resolution

The capability to record video up to 1080p HD, 12MP resolution. This higher resolution means the camera can pick up more details such as road symbols and number plates more clearly.

Front Camera Only:

3.     Night Recording

Of course, not everything you want to record will take place during the daylight hours, with a much higher statistic of car accidents occurring at night time when visibility is lower.

Yes

4.     Shaking Sensors

Also called a “G-Sensor,” this piece of technology is essential in a dash cam. It automatically detects any sudden shaking or a collision and will make sure the footage isn’t overwritten. It has the intelligence to determine that what has been recorded might be useful, so it stops the loop recording from wiping it and recording over it.

Yes

5.     24/7 Passionate Customer Support

 

Dash cameras are generally expensive, and you should be able to get in touch with customer support instantly if something goes wrong. Companies have to stand behind their product and do whatever it takes to deliver value to you for the price you paid.

Most of the reviewers 93% (five and four stars) are satisfied with the dash cam. The three-star review felt it was a good camera but too expensive.

Although no longer reported a previous two-star reviewer had concerns regarding the mount and cabling. I was impressed with the earnestness of customer service to make things right for the customer.

This included finding out how the user mounted the dash cam and offering partial reimbursement for the additional materials purchased. The two-star reviewer probably became a 4 or 5-star reviewer.

No question, you can expect a high level of customer support.
