Review: Love this Camera - I’m a dash cam addict. I lost count of how many of different dash cams that I bought. Some returned and some I kept. Emergency Capturing: The annoying part in most of the dash cams is the difficulty in recording an emergency video. I use dash cams in my three cars that I drive to record clips of the idiotic scenes that occur in front of me. I upload them to youtube or share them. In addition, I use them to protect me from false accusations! Most of the dash cams have dedicated emergency button that is NOT easy to reach and operate, especially if the dash cam is installed to the right side of the windshield, which is my preferred spot. I like the dash cam to be hidden of my sight, yet operable at the same time. Some dash cams offer the emergency button function as an app in the phone. Seriously, who has the time to start an app and then capture the emergency video? Others have voice command functions to capture the emergency videos. Again, it is not 100% dependable since the voice recognition is a hit or miss. Unlike Alexa or Google Home voice recognition which is amazing… This camera solves the problem by providing a dedicated wireless button that can be installed anywhere in the car. The down side here is that the camera records up to 30 seconds “15 seconds before pressing the button, and 15 sec after pressing it” of video as an emergency clip. It could be enough for you, but wish if it was at least 60 seconds. By the way, my ex-dash cam that I was using is Philips adr810. It has a dedicated emergency button in the cigarette lighter plug. Nice !! But switching due to the higher quality video in the DDPAI cam and the ease of transferring video clips via WiFi. WiFi: Love the smart WiFi connection in this dash cam. It cleverly connects to your phone on demand. Transferring the video clips is so easy. I don’t need to take out the SD card in order to transfer the files, as I used to do in my previous dash cams. If I record three video clips in a trip, it takes the phone 30 seconds to download the clips. Quality: The video quality is amazing, and I heard they are releasing mini3 model which has even higher quality. I’m not sure of the price of the mini3 yet, so can’t decide if I’m going to upgrade. My wish list: 1- I wish if the camera can be removed easily after installing it, such as using a magnetic connection instead of just having the holder integrated into the camera, where the older is attached with a 3M tape to the windshield. 2- More advanced options to increase the recording time “at least 60 seconds”. 3- The camera holder needs to be in the middle of the camera to avoid any tilting after installation. I did not notice any tilting in the video, but it seems the camera is a little bit tilted to the left since the holder only supports the right side of the camera. I do love how the camera is only allowed to go up and down, without going left and right since you don’t need the camera to move freely during driving, plus the camera already has wide angles so your left and right are always covered. In summary, this is the best dash cam in the market as of today. It is underrated and not very well known and I don’t see a lot of reviews about it, but I love it alllooottt.
Review: Fantastic camera for its price. - This is a great little camera packed with some fantastic features for it price. I have tried many other similar priced cameras but nothing compares. Please note there is no battery so this camera will only run when the car is unless you purchase the hard wire kit at an additional cost. However even with the extra kit it’s still a great camera. For me I live in Arizona and it gets hot, so having no battery is best. Batteries degrade in excessive heat. This camera uses capacitors in place of batteries. The snapshot button is a great little tool. Locate it in a easy to access location and you can press it while on the go to capture the moment and/or 10 seconds before and after of video too. This is great for capturing moments directly to your phone without having to go back and find it. The WiFi mode is useful and works well. The software/app seems to be improving over time. The image quality seems great, crisp, and clear. The quality is definitely there for the price of the camera. Overall you will be very happy with this camera and it’s features compared to other similar prices cameras.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the appropriate fuse number ، for hardwire kit mini3  each fuse has a certain number, like a5, a10, a15, a20, a30, ?**
A: the fuse is used to protect the wiring connected to power through it.

Simply put: use a 3Amp fuse (or a 5Amp) because this unit liquely uses less than .5A

**Q: Hello .. I have this dash cam and the video doesn't show on my iPhone ( iPhone 13 pro max )**
A: Question doesn't say if the App was downloaded to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.  Using the App, must connect to the Mini3 wirelessly while both have power.  Videos are then downloaded to the iPhone App, which suspends live recordings, during the download process.  If still not working, look for instructions to update the firmware on the Mini3.  Live videos aren't shown on the iPhone, think this might answer this vague question.

**Q: can it send videos to my phone in case if someone hits my car while it parked?**
A: If you have the dash cam hardwired it will save the video after you parked car is hit. You will then get the video off the camera using your phones wifi connection the next time you are in the car. It will not automatically send the video to your phone after your parked car is hit unless your phone is in range of the cameras wifi connection and properly connected thru the ddpai app.

**Q: Why do you need the "ddpai hard wire kit" for parking mode? can you just cut the usb connector off the provided cable and wire yourself?**
A: Camera powered by 5v DC. Car is 12v DC. Hard wire kit steps down the voltage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good camera at a great price, the app could be better .
*by A***I on March 3, 2022*

I am happy with this camera especially after reading the reviews. For the price, it's a great deal. Installing was very easy and using the app on my phone was also very simple. The ONLY negative is that the stick-on button that came with the camera for taking pictures while driving does NOT work. Other buyers have also mentioned this issue but I can live with it. For now, all I care about is that I have a camera in my car Update Mar/10/2022. I have figured out how to get the remote snapshot button to work. I am still happy with my purchase. Definitely amazed at the clarity of the videos of the camera. I am happy that I did NOT waste money on more expensive cameras. I will probably buy another one later this year again.
