First impression A118-C Dashcam

Ok, ordered one, it arrived, and it's stuck in the windshield of my truck. Think carefully before you mount this unit. On my truck the adjustable lens is at the limit of it's travel when positioned at the top of the windshield. Car windshields probably have more of a slope. I am getting the view I wanted, with just the end of the hood and corner mirrors in the bottom of the frame. The video looks good. Will post some road video once I get moving. I did get the GPS module. I'm not going for a 'permanent' installation, but the self stick tape mounting aspect means if you want to move the camera and gps, you better have some extra two sided tape handy. The camera does get warm. (thought the capacitor avoided that?) It's not hot to the touch, just warm. Quality seems ok. No impressive heft, here.

Programming was fairly simple,if you are familiar with dashcams. You'll probably want to fumble with the buttons with the camera renoved from the mount, as opposed to stuck in the proper place in the windshield. The buttons and screen are small. A separate power source and cord helps, if you have tucked the OEM wiring away under your headliner, etc. The plug is the same as one most Garmin and other GPS, some cell phones, you may already have a spare cigarette lighter plug setup that will work. I still prefer 'temporary' setups, that can be moved to another vehicle, or hidden from crooks, at will, but the features of this dashcam were too tempting.
