While I agree the manual is horrible! I had to guess on how to set the Timezone. There is a config text file that is created on the memory card when you format it. Then put it in your computer and run the JPlayer app which will create a file called Default_Folder. If you go into that file and add a line [TimeZone]=-4 (for Eastern Daylight Time) your offset may vary, that will set the timezone to Eastern Daylight Time.

The video can only be viewed using the app that comes with the device and shows the x,y,z sensors. You can export the video to an .avi file but the sensor graph does not export the x,y,z sensors or the speed. Those are two big flaws.

Works very well so far, I like the GPS option. Download video to your computer and it shows your speed and route, pretty clear video at night, it's extremely dark where I live, no street lights, but works well with just headlights on. Night vision cam for inside vehicle not the greatest but works, overall it's a good dash cam

I admit, the initial start up is a little painful because the manual has been poorly translated to English. This makes initial formatting of card and language selection a bit of guesswork.

However, aside from that just insert a 6 speed or above, 4-32gb mini SD card and youre rock and roll. The menus are simple to interface and adjustable while recording.

As far as the product being cheaply built...eh maybe not Sony standard, but it's effective and works. I think it's more of perception based on its simple design.

I've had mine operational for over a month now and not a lick of problems.

As a gadget freak, I didn't really read the manual and I set everything up just fine. I guess people who actually read manuals are not happy with the instructions.

Pros:

two lenses

very reasonable price

GPS

not tested the G sensor yet

image is decent quality. Anything better will cost at least a couple of hundred dollars at least.

the software shows Google map GPS location while it plays. that's pretty neat.

Cons:

Card got stuck in unit inserting the micro SD card I was too lazy to unmount the suction cup and tried putting the micro SD card in, and it missed the adapting bracket, got stuck all the way into the unit. I had to remove four screws and pry it open a bit and shook it out.

SD card formatting a little untable: I'm using a 32G micro SD card and it works fine. At first I formatted the card using the camera, and it had a little flashing warning sign on top. and Mac OSX wouldn't read the card. So I went to a windows machine to format the card and the warning sign is now gone.

The last file is broken and needed repair: i didn't try repairing so i don't know how good it is, but it's spooky. say you have an accident and the unit loses power, leaving the accident clip in a abruptly cut off file that needs repair. not peace of mind. but for the price, this will do.

For the price I paid, and I'm not willing to pay 200 bucks, this works quite nicely with many features, with a lot of features. But it does take a bit of a techie if you run into minor issues.

Some reviewers say they could read license plates, some say no. I say no. Even when viewing on a reasonably large PC monitor. When turned on the first time, it started up in Russian, with a prompt and two buttons. One I could tell was Yes (in Russian), the other I have no idea what the button said (it wasn't nyet). After trying a few different buttons, got it to English. Some of the icons on the menu weren't real obvious, but there's one that sort of looks like a head that's the language menu. Viewing software is actually pretty cool, and surprisingly small. From some of the reviews, I thought maybe it was possible to point both cameras forward and combine them. This is not the case. All in all, kind of neat, but you won't be using it to get license plate numbers.
