Baseus VD1 Pro Solar Dash Cam Front and Rear, 4K+1080P Dash Camera for Cars, Battery Powered Parking Mode, Starvis Night Vision, 32 GB Card Included, 5GHz WiFi, GPS, Wide Angle,Voice Control

After the further testing the dash cam, i have updated it to 5 stars. The voice commands simplify using the dash cam and work well, Excellent product. This is a review of the Baseus VD1 Pro 4K Video Camera. In this review, I will be discussing quality, installation, setup, and software AP. Quality-This seems to be a well built compact dash cam with excellent picture quality and consists of a front and rear camera. The buttons on the camera are conveniently placed and work well once you get familiar with use of the buttons. Installation-Actual installation is straight forward, follow directions or review videos on installation. The main power cable has a cigarette plug on one end and USB C on the other end that plugs into the top portion of camera that fastens to the windshield. One recommendation would be to supply an optional main power cable with USB or USB C end, instead of cigarette plug for those newer vehicles that don’t have a cigarette power socket in front of the car. Setup was easy once you understand how to use the buttons. Use the bottom menu button To scroll through the settings and the OK button (located above the word Reset) to choose the menu item. Use the middle button to scroll through the individual menu item such as setting the clock. If the camera times out press the power button. Software App for your phone-installation was straight forward, follow the instructions. If you are connecting the WiFi while in your car, Apple Play must be turned off. Once you open the App on your phone you will see the icon of your Dash Cam VD1 Pro 4K. As soon as you open the App, your camera will stop displaying a picture and will say App connected. Once you press the icon on your phone the, view from the camera will be displayed on the phone. On your phone you can access pictures or recorded video under Files. Pictures and Videos will be displayed and clearly marked Front or Rear. Once the power is disconnected, the camera automatically goes into parking mode which is why there is why there is solar power (which only works with parking mode) Final Word-Very good camera at a good price Dave

What a dumb design I was hoping this camera does not need wire but it need them while driving. let me explain the camera is solar but it only uses the solar panel if the car is parked and it will only rec while driving unless you connect the camera to the electric charge panel. ... WHAT?! I thought this camera will always record since its expose to sunlight and has a battery but NO, in order to turn on the device you have to charge the freaking thing just to turn it on, if the camera is not connected with something to charge the stupid thing turns says BATTERY POWERED and turns off. WHAT WHY?! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF BATTERIES. The camera also need internet connection to view any videos so you have to download an app and paid subscription, thankfully you don't need the subscription but I already dislike the idea of downloading an app and have paid subscription in my face just to find any rec videos. Also prey that the video file are not corrupted. because this happened to me twice The final straw was the camera overheating and will refuse to record anything and turns off. in my mind is the CAR WILL ALWAYS BE HOT INSIDE EVEN IF I PARK IT IN A SHADE OR GIVE IT SUN BLOCK. This camera is piece of junk it fooled me thinking it will work fine by its own since it has a solar panel but its brought down with poor designs a need for a cable like any other dash camera and chance of video being corrupted or overheat and turns off. avoid this camera and look for something else.

After using the Baseus PrimeTrip VD1 Pro, I can confidently say this is one of the best dash cams I’ve owned. The combination of 4K front recording, rear camera coverage, and battery-powered parking surveillance makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect their vehicle. The video quality is outstanding. The 4K front camera captures sharp, detailed footage during the day, and the Sony STARVIS night vision sensor performs exceptionally well after dark. License plates, road signs, and surrounding vehicles remain clear even in low-light conditions. The rear camera provides a wide-angle view that adds valuable coverage and helps eliminate blind spots. One of my favorite features is the simple installation process. Everything is essentially plug-and-play, with plenty of cable length for routing a clean installation. I was able to tuck the wiring neatly along the headliner, and the cameras are compact enough that they don't obstruct visibility or draw attention from outside the vehicle. The solar-assisted battery system and parking mode provide added peace of mind. I don't have to worry about complicated hardwiring, and the camera continues to monitor the vehicle while parked. The power management is excellent, and I've experienced no issues with battery drain. Another standout feature is the fast WiFi connectivity. Downloading and reviewing footage through the mobile app is quick and hassle-free, making it easy to access recordings whenever needed. Overall, this dash cam delivers premium features, excellent reliability, crystal-clear video quality, and effortless installation at a very reasonable price. Whether you're a first-time dash cam user or looking to upgrade your current setup, I highly recommend the Baseus PrimeTrip VD1 Pro. It's a worthwhile investment for safety, security, and peace of mind.

Just got this cute dash cam installed and I already love it. It’s small size so it doesn’t block my view. The installation is easy. It comes with the power cord that I can plug directly into cigarette lighter outlet. It comes with 32G memory card which is handy. The video seems clear enough. It covers enough views in the front and back. You can adjust the front camera as needed. The back camera relies on type C charger. Overall I think it’s a decent product.

Overall this dash cam is a good product. Build quality feels solid and installation was very easy. I also like that it doesn’t require wiring directly to the car battery, and the parking mode work perfectly. The front camera works well. Daytime video quality is very good, and at night it’s decent. With good lighting it can capture nearby details, but things farther away can look a bit distorted, which is expected. The main issue is the rear camera. During the day it looks noticeably darker than the front camera. It’s still usable, but the difference is obvious. At night it’s the real problem — unless there’s direct light from another car or a lamp, it’s basically too dark to see much. Most of the time the rear camera is almost useless at night. Not sure if my unit is defective or if they’re all like this. And Also my unit come with no SD card When the box says its included, I need to use one that i have at home.

I’m very impressed with this dash cam so far. The front camera records in 4K and the rear camera in 1080P, and the video quality is clear enough to capture license plates and road details. The night vision also works surprisingly well. I really like the built-in GPS and 5GHz WiFi, which makes it convenient to connect to my phone and review or download videos. The compact design doesn’t take up much space on the windshield, and installation was straightforward. The parking mode is another great feature for extra peace of mind when the car is parked. Overall, this is a solid dash cam with good video quality and useful features for the price.

Overall a very nice dash cam that is easy to install. It's compact, offers good adjustability, and the image quality is great. I love that it's so small, it doesn't interfere with my sun visors because it's mounted directly behind my rearview mirror. Offering 5GHz connectivity ensures a fast and stable connection when using the app to download clips. I knocked off a couple stars because there's no method of manually hardware method for saving video clips, as far as I've seen. I've tried enabling the voice commands, but they simply don't work. Necessitating the use of the app to save clips currently being recorded is not a good experience, especially if you have wireless CarPlay. Because your phone is connected to CarPlay over WiFi, it creates a less than ideal experience for live view in the app or pulling videos off the device.

Absolutely horrible directions! The English words weren’t even spelled correctly. If I had known that it was going to be as difficult as it was to set up, I would have chosen a different product. In the direction pamphlet, it tells you to download the app, and the next step is to connect the app to the unit in your car. There are about 30 different steps in between those two instructions that you have to do though or it won’t connect. It took myself and my college educated son nearly two hours to set it up. There are no troubleshooting tips, or directions on what to do if it doesn’t connect. Additionally, it didn’t come with any sticky clips like most other dash cams come with to help with installing the cords. Also, in order to access any of the footage on your app, you actually have to be in the car and RE-PAIR it to the device every single time! So, you can’t access any of the info on your app anywhere else unless you are in the car with the car running. So, if you are in an accident and your car gets towed, you won’t have access to the app or the footage. That absolutely defeats the purpose!!

Front- und Heckkamera lassen sich einfach anbringen und bleiben stabil an den Scheiben. Die Aufnahmen sind von guter Qualität, Systemeinstellungen lassen sich durch die prima Menueführung leicht ändern und anpassen. Das Gleiche gilt auch für die App. Empfehlenswert.

The installation is pretty straightforward, the only somewhat tricky bit is routing the power and rear-camera cables neatly, but that applies to basically every model. It shoots at 30FPS is not ideal, but then again, many models in this price range go only up to 24-25FPS. The front camera has pretty good details, even at night, provided the object isn't moving too fast for the sensor to keep up (this is where the 30FPS comes into play). The rear camera is worse, especially in low-light / at night, I wouldn't expect to clearly read a moving license plate on it. The solar panel is a nice feature in theory, but it is not clear how helpful it is in practice... I suspect it may be more marketing than a meaningful feature. In terms of storage, it supports large TF/MicroSD cards, but the video encoding is just the old H264, which isn't particularly efficient in terms of space.

Pedí este producto casi por intuición, tengo otras cosas de la misma marca y la verdad es que nunca me han decepcionado. Baseus es otra cosa. Una marca seria, en la medida en lo que en Europa entendemos como seria, con sus controles de calidad, su desarrollo interno y propio y una imagen de marca muy profesional. Es más, si no te dijeran que es una marca china, tu primera impresión (también por el nombre) sería que estamos ante un fabricante alemán... y no andarías muy equivocado. Pero vamos con esta dashcam que he recibido. Es fantástica! Solo he tenido experiencia previa, precisamente, con otras dashcams de bajo precio y peor calidad, así que esta me ha parecido una auténtica maravilla. Llevo solo algunos días probándola pero ya le he dado caña: la he probado de día, de noche, con lluvia, en carretera y en ciudad... y estoy encantado! Algunas cosas a destacar que debes tener en cuenta, tiene "doble vigilancia simultánea". Que venga con dos cámaras (una para adelante y otra para atrás) grabando todo al mismo tiempo es una pasada. Tienes cubierto el 100% de lo que pasa, de forma que de cara a un posible siniestro, podrá quedar perfectamente claro quien ha tenido la culpa de lo ocurrido. La imagen es súper nítida. Tiene una buena resolución altísima que es más que suficiente para que se vean las matrículas de los coches claritas si ocurre algo. La instalación es MUY sencilla, si es lo que te preocupa... deja de hacerlo. Viene con una herramienta para ir metiendo los cables discretamente por las juntas del coche, así que en media hora lo tienes listo sin tener que ir al técnico. Un cable a la toma del coche (viene también el adaptador de corriente) y otra a la cámara trasera. Coser y cantar. Una función que me ha encantado es el modo "guardaespaldas" automático activado por un sensor interno de fuerzas G; si la dashcam detecta que te dan un golpe o algún un movimiento más brusco de lo normal, el vídeo se guarda de forma automática en una carpeta especial y queda bloqueado. Así te aseguras de que esa prueba crucial nunca se borre (de normal, la dashcam va grabando en búcle clips continuamente hasta llenar la tarjeta que le pongas, y entonces borra lo más antiguos antes de grabar nuevos). Pura tranquilidad! Más cosas, tiene GPS (te marca la velocidad y ubicación exacta en el vídeo) y también puedes crear una pequeña red Wifi para conectar tu móvil, de forma que puedes bajarte los clips sin tener que andar quitando la tarjeta. También tiene un pequeño panel solar que sirve para alimentar dos pequeñas baterías integradas en el aparato, de forma que el dispositivo pueda grabar vídeos de algún problema concreto si detecta un golpe mientras está aparcado, por ejemplo, pero creo que hace falta un cable especial que proporcione algo de corriente permanente al coche... diría que es un kit que se compra a parte. El manual no lo especifica, pero mi sospecha es que esas dos pequeñas baterías cargadas por una también pequeña plaquita solar proporciona a la cámara la energía justa para terminar de guardar el vídeo y asegurarlo en la tarjeta en caso de que un siniestro corte el suministro de energía en el coche de forma brusca. Para terminar, y en su rango de precio, esta dashcam es realmente un chollo. Si buscas dejar de preocuparte de más por un posible accidente y tener una prueba clara siempre, esta es la tuya. Compra muy, muy recomendable!

False advertising- the camera does not include a rear camera as per the description and the picture and additional hardware is required for the parking mode

Questa daschcam è di una qualità pazzesca! Registra con una qualità molto alta ed è ben solida. Ha fatto anche molti voli ed è tutta intera. La registrazione è molto fluida ed ha un campo di visione molto ampio. Facile da installare e da togliere. Ovviamente è meglio nasconderla la notte perchè è troppo in vista.
