![]() ![]() If the car is stopped, or going the same speed as you then you should be able to see the license plate. After the sun sets, expect oncoming license plates to be a bit too blurry to read. It’s not as bright as some other cams however it tends to hold details a bit sharper and is overall more than adequate. I’ve got no complaints about the front facing camera, even in darker situations. That’s a huge step up over many dual 1080p cameras – with all of the dual 1080p cams I have tested it’s only possible to read plates immediately adjacent to the car. During the day under ideal conditions you can often read oncoming license plates two lanes over. In short, this camera performs remarkably well in all lighting conditions. The camera also leaves 8GB of free space on the memory card, so for a 32GB card you’ll get just over 2 hours of driving before it starts to overwrite old footage It’s approximately 1GB per 6 minutes of driving. ![]() By default it uses the H265 video codec which results in lots of detail, although the video seems to be at a fixed bitrate. Video Quality, Front Cameraįront facing video quality is where this camera excels. Using the app to line up the cameras is a necessity. An iOS version of the app is available but I did not test it. Take note: the camera’s default password is “88889999”. ![]() It is intuitive to use and presented better than many other dashcam apps I have tested. The app includes basic settings for timezone, a simple time lapse parking mode, mic volume and GPS on/off settings. It allows you to stop and start recording, flip between front and rear cameras and change the camera settings. It was stable the entire time I used it, with no freezing issues. The app “Dashcam Player” itself is straightforward and works well on my Samsung S-series phone. As for other features, the app includes a parking mode if you hardwire the cam along with turning the stamp on and off. Strangely, the rear camera has this red wire which is used to detect reversing but since this camera has no screen that feature is not present. Install the camera using the app to line it up, set the date, set your plate stamp and then it’ll automatically start and stop recording when you turn on your car. This simple tube shape means that the camera has few buttons: just a single Wi-Fi button on the side that toggles Wi-fi on and off with a cheery vocal prompt telling you. You can see the extra red wire on the rear camera cable which is unnecessary for this camera. Included in the box with the Q3 Pro is the two cameras, cabling, cable guides, 12V adapter, and an extra mount. The camera uses a super capacitor so it should hold up well in hotter climates. You’ve got two cables to plug into the side, with a headphone jack looking plug for the rear camera and a micro USB for power. It’s mounted by sticker to the windshield and two mounts are included in the box, although I wouldn’t really consider this camera easy to move between vehicles. The camera itself is a stealthy tube shape, made out of solid weighty plastic. The Q3 Pro is an excellent example of a budget dual dashcam with decent forward facing video in day and night and an acceptable rear camera.Įditor’s Note: I am still unsure if this is the same Hawkeye who produces the Firefly series of action cameras. The Hawkeye Q3 Pro is the first example I have tested and the results speak for themselves: this camera has significantly easier license plate readability versus dual 1080p cameras. Video Resolution: 4K 24fps, 2.Near the end of 2019, more budget dual dashcams have popped up that can record higher than 1080p resolution with their front facing cameras.
