LD02 5K On Dash Cam 5G WiFi with Free 64GB Card, 4K+2K Front and Rear Dual Dashcam 170° WDR IR Night Vision, 24H Parking Mode G-Sensor 3" Build-in GPS, Max Up Support to 128GB, Easy to Install

My old dashcam was starting to act funny, so I looked for a new camera. However, it wasn't easy to find one that worked with the existing rear camera I already had installed, since reinstalling a new one would mean lifting many panels apart and putting them back together. As you can see in the pictures, this one worked fine with my existing one that uses the mini jack format with the red reverse light wire (and the reverse mode does get triggered if it's properly connected to your tail light).Here is my overall take on it:Great:1. It works with my existing rearview camera, so I didn't have to pay extra for a new one or lift existing panels to get a new one installed.2. It works properly to engage the "reverse mode" if the rear camera is capable of doing so.3. Most cameras limit the rear camera recording to 1080p, but I was able to configure this to record at 2k front/back (which is a good compromise in storage/quality).4. The camera allows you to encode in HEVC (H265) which is better quality compared to H264 (although it also supports this as a fallback for older computers).5. It uses the USB-C connector instead of the old mini-B connector which is much more durable (it still requires the other side to be USB-A, as it doesn't power using a C-C cable).6. The package includes a long USB-A to C cable that isn't attached to a car charger (although they also give you a charger if you don't have one). This is one important distinction because most of them only give you a non-removable cable that is part of the car charger itself. This way, if you would like to use a quick charger to power your phone as well as the dashcam you do not have to replace your existing charger (assuming it has multiple ports) or take up another cig power port.7. This camera has voice commands that can be quite handy (such as "take a picture", "show rear camera", "turn on/off Wi-Fi"). The "take a picture" command takes a picture for you on both front/back cameras without any prompting. It's nice when your hands are full and you just want to ask the camera to save a moment you find interesting without having to fiddle with the camera while you are driving.8. The camera uses 5Ghz Wi-Fi (operating at 802.11n at 150Mbps) which has worked well and is much faster than 2.4Ghz cameras that are limited to 54Mbps (802.11g).9. The app does not require you to register an account to view videos on the camera.10. The app works fine under Android without having to acknowledge that the Wi-Fi network has no Internet connection and to remain connected. This is another important distinction because apps that require you to do this will cause you to lose Internet connectivity when connected to the camera's Wi-Fi network.11. The camera takes excellent night pictures and adjusts the amount of light that goes into the camera when lighting conditions change. As you can see, both front and rear cameras have very good night picture quality, whereas comparatively night pictures/videos usually look blurry/fuzzy on my previous cameras.12. This camera appears to be supported by AZDOME, and they have a dedicated website where firmware updates can be downloaded. I have had AZDOME cameras before and they seem to do well in maintaining their cameras, although a new LD02 firmware has not yet been released for this camera.13. The camera does allow the rear camera view to be mirrored if desired (some cameras do not have this function which drives me crazy when I am using this as a backup camera).14. The camera has a stable mount and does not lock every single video on a normal drive (on the low sensitivity setting).15. The swivel mount allows you to adjust the camera view both horizontally and vertically. This allows better flexibility when you mount the camera without losing your field of vision.Stuff to note (these are the things I found somewhat interesting while I was playing around with the camera - while these things may bother some folks, they don't bother me enough to drop a star. Nonetheless, I am listing them out here for reference just in case something irks you on this list):1. The camera takes about 13 seconds to fully boot up and start recording once power is supplied. This is slightly longer than most other cameras I have. If you are the type that likes the camera to record immediately and you are always in a hurry, you may miss moments of the recording. This may also cause delays if you are using this camera as your dedicated backup camera.2. The voice command feature does not have a command to show both cameras at once (you have to manually press the keys on the camera to do a switch), and the commands for turning/off the screen are inconsistent ("open screen" vs "turn off display" -- it isn't necessarily smart so any deviations from those words would not be recognized).3. Infrequently, your navigation software's announcements may accidentally trigger the voice commands, especially when it contain the word "turn" in it. This doesn't happen all that much, but when it does I sometimes do find it funny.4. The app does not allow you to select multiple files to download, and each one has to be downloaded individually. Additionally, it does not allow you to access saved files until the active recording has been stopped.5. On certain Android phones with custom DPI or text scaling settings, the app will not allow you to view the videos in full screen (you have to download the videos and play them in a separate player for you to engage full screen properly).6. The mobile apps do not come with a GPS map when saved videos are played, although the PC app does show you this information.7. The camera requires a hardwire kit if you would like to engage parking detection mode.8. The stamp on the video is either on/off and isn't customizable (you cannot turn off certain elements). It has the date, time, device model, lon/lat GPS coordinates, and speed stamped onto the bottom left corner of the video in white. There also isn't a way to add your license plate on the video like some of AZDOME's cameras allow you to do so. The speed indicator on the video does have a slight lag, especially when you are just beginning to accelerate.

This is one of the easiest dash cam unit I’ve even installed. It comes with front and rear camera. Since it is a rear view camera (not a backup camera), I mounted my rear camera on top near my third brake light. It is perfect for the 100 series landcruiser. The front camera just mounts behind the rear view mirror. The touch screen is very nice and all the wires were self explanatory. They include you a free 64gb memory stick which u need to format with the unit when u first boot up(settings). Picture quality is very nice, although like any camera, it doesn’t do very well going through a tinted rear window glass at night but it is very respectable. I was thinking of hooking it to a magic box for sentry mode but then the display will be on. U can set standby time on the sentry mode but that defeats the purpose of having it as your full time digital rear view mirror. So all in all, if you want something that works very well get this, but you won’t be able to use sentry mode (on when parked).

The set up was easy and convenient. The picture and video quality is great. However, after 3 months, it suddenly stopped working. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.

Good dash cam, easy to setup. The wires are plenty long enough to run where we need them. The dashcam itself was easy to setup and start using. The app works as expected, reviewing and deleting videos was easy enough. Mounted on my windshield without issues. Haven't yet setup the rear camera yet since the wires need to be ran under trim. Sturdy construction.

Built in GPS. Built in WiFi. 5K resolution. Feature packed and easy to operate. If you have ever used a dash cam before, you will master this in no time. It is very intuitive. They even include a 64 GB memory card. That is almost always a separate purchase if you purchase other dash cams. Everything you need is in the box. You will be up and running in short order. The instructions are excellent. They even have a generous coupon for this item.I have owned several dash cams. Usually the Florida sun eats up the plastic parts or the cables (if there are any) and the camera becomes impossible to use. I don't think that will happen here. This dash cam is robust and elegant.
