AVOID THIS BRAND - The camera and the app simply cannot provide me with the footage recorded in a watchable format. The TS files will not play in ANY video player on my phone and even those saved to the phone and opened in the Fitcamx app are jerky as hell and really frustrating to watch. Th Uniden in my other car has zero issues and was half the price.
The app is trash. Or I guess you could say the networking the app relies on is trash. I'm an IT professional with 7 years of experience and it took me an hour and a half to get video on an SD card. It expects you to format this with Windows so the SD card layout is an MBR partition table, with no partitions. And if the file system either needs to be fat32 or exfat Good luck getting your Wi-Fi to connect and stay connected. About what you'd expect for discount Chinese tech.
I like the app, but you have to open the app frequently and connect in order for the camera to sync the current time. Everytime I want to download a video, everything is out of date and it takes forever to find the video that was recording a few minutes ago.
Far from perfect, but it does the job. A Sometimes a bit slow to connect, but after you're on the camera's wifi network, it works ok. Would be better if the app could force my phone to connect to the dashcam for sure. Caching the camera's data could significantly improve user experience plus the app could take some UI tweaking as well, but most of the negative reviews I'm reading here are either based on a different model than what I have, or just user errors.
The hardware looks seamless and video quality isn't bad. However, if I knew beforehand how terrible the app is, I would have not bought this product. Hardly connects, very slow, weird watermark info with time that can't be changed. This reminds me of an app I used before but to be honest it almost looks and feels like a plagiarized version that's not done right. I would say the app is far from ready so if that's a big deal for you buy a more reputable dashcam so you get a better app experience.
I wish I never would have ordered this camera. The camera itself is great, it's the app that is terrible. Takes forever to connect with your phone. Whenever I go to download a video, it gives me an error. If my life depended on downloading a video for evidence in a crime or wreck, I would be screwed unless I take the micro SD card out and put that into a device. You can not download videos from the camera to your phone.
The app has been abandoned. No new features. It be nice if they would add continuous record with no time limit. You can only record every 1 to 3 minutes. The amount of time it takes to come back on after recording for 1 to 3 minutes can cause you to lose footage. It's not a "real" dashcam until you can record constantly.
Pretty good app so far. I have FitcamXs in two different vehicles, and there are extra steps involved with switching between the two vehicles within the app. If the two cameras were listed on the opening screen of the app, it would be five stars.
Great picture quality but I really dislike not having access to recordings on the app without being connected to the camera with the car on. I really just want to review footage which is impossible outside of the vehicle and c away from the camera.
Connecting to the app requires the camera's wifi which can be difficult to connect to, and sometimes, impossible to connect to. Android Auto and Apple Car Play make connecting to the app even harder since those connections interfere with FITCAMX. Those aren't going away soon so FITCAMX needs a better solution than "turn off Android Auto/Apple Car Play".
