AKEEYO NV-X Super Night Vision

سيء

I have bought two of these units back to back, one for the girlfriend's car. One for my own car. The girlfriend's car using the lighter socket. Hardwired for my car. Both have a tendency to shut down on their own, overheating issue? Do love the fact the rear camera can be mounted inside the vehicle, inside the sweep radius of the back wiper. The only really bad issue so far is the Unexplained shutdowns.

If you’re planning on hiding everything under the panels, the cable for the front camera might be a little short. It might be long enough if you mount the monitor on the rear view mirror. Comparing my non-powered rear view mirror and the Akeeyo dashcam, images from the dashcam appear farther away. Power for the Akeeyo NVX dashcam comes from a aux 12v socket (stock), and I have a Bluetooth transmitter (to connect to my phone) in the regulator 12v socket. They are both on the same circuit and I think the fuse is 15 amps. At lower volumes, everything is okay. At higher volumes, the Bluetooth transmitter might be using more power, so the Akeeyo monitor flickers. The main reason I got this was to see better at night. I mounted the monitor on my dashboard (in the center). That way, I just need to glance down to see what’s further down the road. On dark roads, I can see better with the dashcam, but I’m not sure if I could react quickly enough if there was a person walking on the road. If I got another dashcam, I would want a taller screen (same length). At speeds below 25 mph, I can react quickly enough. Above that, it’s hard. I hope to get better with some practice. It takes me a few moments to recognize people/animals on the screen, and by then, I’ve traveled many yards. The glare from oncoming traffic makes it really hard to see at night. Installation was easy, but the wires are really short. The SD card was easy to format, but I’ll be installing a larger one soon. Overall, this is a pretty good dashcam.

The only reason I did not give all the stars is because the unit goes dark for no reason randomly, but not often. I simply power off, then power back on and the picture lights up. I unplugged then re-plugged the camera just in case, I checked for kinks - the wire kind not the good kind - and found none. It just randomly shuts down the pic. OTHERWISE, this thing rocks. Oh, and if the cam gets wet in the rain, you will see a very blurry picture until the water drips off. . Good product - pretty easy to install for a dork like me . .

After installation I'd have to say that the device works as expected. Super night vision is great. I can see using it to survey the area before you get out of your vehicle. The most unexpected feature that I think I'm going the most use out of is the voice command "take picture" when we see awesome stuff. It's going to take some getting used to seeing headlights pass from the oncoming left lane and then in your peripheral vision seeing someone pass on the right when viewing the front camera. This kinda makes you feel like someone from a side street is about to hit you. The screen is bright at night. I bought some window tint and taped it over the screen it helped. In the end tilting the screen helped the most. It looks odd when you have the rear view mirror pointed towards the passenger seat. With the tint the opposite problem occurred during the day it was too dim so go figure. If they make future versions it'd be nice if there was an easy way to switch from day/night mode or a daylight sensor that auto-adjusted brightness. 3 levels of screen brightness isn't enough. The unit will automatically lock videos if you go over something like a cattle guard so you might want to disable the g-sensor or be prepared to delete a bunch of locked videos. If you're driving on a road in the middle of the night it will see animals on the side of the road but unfortunately - for me at least - it doesn't allow you much more reaction time than driving with your brights on at a safe speed. Which was one of the reasons I was attracted to this device.

I purchased this product just over an year ago (Dec 2023) because I needed a good night vision camera. The night vision was such a disappointment as the light blur gets so much worse at night it was basically useless. However, because I already installed it, I decided to keep using it. about 6 months in, the icons on the screen completely disappeared in one day. No matter where I touch/scroll even try to hard reset by clicking/holding the bottom power bottom, I couldn't control ANY of the features of the dash cam. Since my main use for this product is for the rear camera anyways, (Although I can't change it back to front view) I kept using it as is until today it completely broke. The issues I'm having: 1. First of all, it just randomly changed my view from rear to front which I have no means to change back 2. Look at the quality of the front camera. SUPER faded for no reason. It's really bad 3. There is a huge light blur in the view 4. Where are all the features you advertised? I don't see ANY of them on my screen. (time, speed etc) 5. Again, I can't change ANYTHING. I'm currently being forced to have a really bad quality front camera that is just distracting while I drive. This is NOT what I paid for (~$300). DO NOT GET THIS PRODUCT unless you want low pixel view with light blur during day time (It gets worse in night time) that will completely break down in about an year.
