These Dash Cams support MicroSD Cards 16GB - 128GB class10 speed U1 or fast U3 write speed. The overwrite looping feature stresses memory cards reducing write cycle lifespan. Reasonably priced memory cards use TLC - triple 3bit cell NAND chips which have shorter lifespan than more expensive MLC - multi 2bit cell NAND chips which last longer. Don't make the mistake of spending more money purchasing superior MLC cards before confirming they are supported by the firmware. MLC cards handle more heat than TLC cards. Budget friendly option is to purchase 64 or 128 GB cheaper TLC chip based cards with U3 write speeds for a third of the price of MLC versions.
I no longer recommend LEXAR memory cards due to quality and reliability issues after Micron Technology sold Lexar memory card brand + trademark in August 31, 2017 to Longsys, a Shenzen, China-based flash memory company.

Always use Dashcam Menu to Format. Simple procedure = disconnect power cable to dashcam, insert memory card, connect power cable, if message appears to Format press Menu button (repeatedly for 64-256 GB) scroll down to select Format command. Format all new cards twice, disconnecting power between formats for best results. I keep 16-32 GB cards for firmware updates since they are already FAT32. Watch my Format 64/128GB Card video.

GPS Mounts attach to the windshield permanently using 3M adhesive pads and contain the GPS Logger circuitry and miniUSB power connector allowing neater cabling to Dashcam. Menu option allows disabling or adding GPS coordinates and speed stamp at bottom of video clips. Purchasing the GPS Mount is highly recommended even if you don't need the GPS coordinate/speed data but desire the GPS to sync Date and Time automatically. Watch my GPS Mount Installation video.

CPL Filter accessory is a must have item to reduce dash reflections and glare. The plastic frame holds a multi coated glass Lens which clips over the Dashcam Lens housing. Always attach the CPL filter with wide slot on top to prevent glass from dropping out as shown in photo. The glass filter can be removed or rotated for cleaning and alignment. It is currently available in two sizes original for narrow 130 FOV Lens and larger beveled version for wide angle 140-160 FOV Lens. Avoid use with heavy tinted windows. Test your CPL by mounting in vehicle and record test footage parked facing sun, then remove CPL for next clip and compare, notice reduced horizontal surface reflections. If no reduction is noticed CPL glass requires alignment. Alignment angles are different for each size. Suggest purchasing the larger CPL Filter when possible for future wide angle Lens applications since they fit all Lens types. Watch my Original size CPL Filter Alignment video.


Hardwire Kits connect to vehicle fuse box Ignition/ACC & GND providing power to Dash Cam without using a socket adapter. Hardwire Kits provide a convenient way of providing power when ignition is off for Parking Mode recording protection. All Kits will disconnect power once vehicle battery voltage drops below configured cutoff switch voltage level.


Bluetooth Remote Control for A129 models attach to dash console for quick easy access. Press once to save and lock current recorded clip with overwrite protection. Very useful accessory when witnessing important road side incidents or accidents.  

IR Camera day and night testing produced impressive results with the new IR Lens, sharp focus and infrared night vision. The new camera design includes a double clip mount, side cable port and 180 degree Lens rotation allowing Taxi, Uber and Lyft drivers to mount along top edge of windshield facing passengers using supplied short 55cm cable to record interior even in total darkness. The smaller coated Lens is approx 160 degree Field of View. When Infrared LEDs are activated and recording the power consumption is 0.62-0.78 Amps.Was asked to test the new IR Firmware.
