User reviews

Absolute garbage

I bought this sc-100 on clearance, I still feel like I got robbed. Accessing the gallery, which I would think should be a primary feature, fails to connect more often than it establishes. Assuming it does connect, I see more black thumbnails that I do recordings. Then it again fails more times than not trying to access those recordings. So the dash cam does record to an SD card but almost guaranteed I have to take that card out and put it into a computer if I want to retrieve any of that data

Ok App

Fix it when you close the app it closes and not keep opening

Works great with Escort

The radar/gps configuration is flowing perfectly together, only complaint is needing more rural roads with speeds posted on the app and the interstate needs a little adjustment when passing the exits

Not happy

This is about the worse radar and dash cam I’ve ever bought. The dash cam never records when I’m driving and the radar goes off all the time It goes off in my garage when I’m not even driving. I pass cops it never goes off When it does not a cop in sight….. I have redline 360 and it should be called the false impression. Cause that all I got when I bought it… There customer service is just as bad and don’t help what so ever They have so many company’s I should have know next time I’ll buy a better brand… They should be out of business

Horrible

This app is terrible on so many levels. First the audio is so bad you can not distinguish between K and KA alerts. While using the app on my motorcycle as soon as I get an alert it stops my music and never restarts. This causes me to pull over and repeat the set up.
