This is the second camera I bought Transcend. The first camera work perfectly so I bought a second camera for Transcend the back of the car. It has a feature that turns off the display after 1 to 3 minutes which is useful when driving. It is fully automatic. Leave the camera (s) connected and start the engine. The camera starts automatically. The cheaper cameras (I tried three cameras at low prices) does not last long. I recommend this camera to record the road ahead and behind for insurance object. It is more expensive than some cameras, but it's a question of price and quality. This camera is excellent. The price is decent ..
