Snooper DVR-4HD Dash Camera with LCD Touch Screen

Great little device - more good than bad.If you own a snooper lynx speed detector you will be disappointed on two counts1. There does not seem to be as many camera warnings even after updating the device.2. The warning distance is quite short with no option to increase it.You get what you pay for with the camera database I guess, you will be able to cancel your subscription, so effectively if you are a Lynx owner this unit will pay for itself in a year:-)There is also a little niggle that the unit freezes if left powered on all of the time, so always turn the unit off and on each time you start your car.I leave my camera powered up all the time to spot if the car get damaged whilst parked.All other features are fantastic, play back quality day or night. Easy to use and set up. Not a distraction whilst driving.

The snooper is a small HD dash camera with loads of features and clear recordings. I am on my second snooper as the first one I ordered was faulty, the camera stopped recording during the journey and the touch screen froze. I was sent a replacement with no hassle. The replacement camera works fine. The snooper is a good camera for the price, give it a try.

I bought this for a couple of reasons1.Speed Camera Alert2.FCWSI was very disappointed with these features once I tested it.The speed alert has a VERY quiet bleep that is hard to hear, this is coupled with a brief image of a speed camera and your current speed. This alert is removed after a few seconds, even before you get to the camera. The alerts are not directional, so you get alerts from the other lane.You don’t get any reference about the speed that the camera is set and therefore don’t get alerts if you are breaching the limit.I have the INFORAD system installed and this is louder and continually bleeps if you are 1mph above the limit.The FCWS is very intermittent. The only way I could trigger the unit was to tailgate a truck for around 20 seconds. The FCWS should alert you if the car infront breaks and you are approaching but not breaking. This system wouldn’t alert you as it’s too slow, This will only alert you if you are a tailgater and would try to annoy you to stop. If you drive in that way, then my guess is that you wouldn’t be purchasing this unit.On the positive side, the image is excellent even in low light. The GPS position and speed is shown on the video and a second file is also recorded with additional data.The software supplied is very good, showing G Forces and a positional map. This was great as I was rear ended a few days after installing the unit. Luckily I had a second camera in the rear which filmed the whole accident.General opinion is that this is good as a GPS DVR but the additional features are not fit for purpose. Based on that fact the snooper is twice the cost of it’s competitors, so in this case you don’t get what you pay for.Additional Comment:I've now been using this unit for 3 weeks and it's crashed once per week. The only way to recover is to switch off/on. The problem is that when you switch the unit off via the button, it loses all of the settings i.e. camera alerts on, max speed warning, FCWS enabled etc. So while driving and you notice that the camera has frozen, you'll need to pull over at the services, reset the camera and then reconfigure all of your settings.You also have to switch off the unit to remove the SD card to update the camera database, which again loses the settings.Not really a reliable camera, hopefully it'll not fail when I actually need it!This hardware needs a lot of improvements and most of the functions are not good enough, although they advertise the functions to justify the cost, spending half the money would probably get you a better product.

Hi I've never had a dash cam before so I can't compare it with anything else. First impression good quality, it looks good, picture quality is good to, i decided to get the snooper because of the speed trap warnings which it does ok, and you can add on ones that it doesn't pick up, ie the ones that aren't in a permanent position. The only downside for me is you can't adjust the volume of the warnings, so when you're radio is on, you may miss it, even though it visually comes up on the screen. Having said all this I've bought another one for my wife's car.

Warning Services are very quiet, can barely hear alerts, unit freezes regularly, have to switch off and back on, however holds memory. Video quality is superb and Wi-Fi facility is handy

Camera images are crystal clear both day and night, and the speed camera alerts appear to be accurate battery is weak/ lasts only a few minutes

As described. Sound is a bit 'metalic' but it does what its supposed to do.

We have bought 6 of these cameras for our company fleet, some from Amazon, some elsewhere, they were bought and installed properly by a qualified auto electric engineer. We paid the extra money as we wanted a better product. Yes they give great coverage of your journey including all the conversations you may be having, BUT if you have an accident or incident then don't expect it to be recorded. I had a serious accident 3 months ago that was not my fault but unfortunately my car was the only damaged vehicle. I told the insurance company what had happened and told them it was all on film, I downloaded the footage and the critical 3 minutes was not there, so I have ended up footing the bill through my insurance, about £10k because I cannot prove otherwise.Reason for this is once you stop the vehicle and turn the ignition off, it deletes the previous 3 minutes, which of course is the 3 minutes that you need to see as that is when the incident happened.The same has just happened to my husband last night, he did not have an accident but there was an incident that he wanted to download, we checked it this morning and what a surprise, there is 6 minutes missing where he stopped the car and had an argument with another driver.These cameras are not worth the packaging they're wrapped inOh and they have never alerted us to one single speed camera.I am also writing to Snooper aswell to demand a refund.
