This was the BEST dashcam review I've ever seen. Not only because of the well-presented content but the fact that this is the real world test of time in display and not a condescending open box review for bait click of a sponsored item. Thumbs up and you have another subscriber.
Just a note for everyone. Buying a circular polarizer (CPL) for the camera will help cut out glare and help see through the glare on other car windshields. There's not a circular polarizer specifically for this camera, but I read that the CPL Filter for VIOFO A119 fits the AUKEY DR02 perfectly
Great Video, i just bought my Aukey DR02 (4K). But i have to correct you at 1:33 : You do not need to remove the sd-card to download the footage. The USB Type b cable that is delivered with the cam only supports power supply but if you have a data-layered usb type b cable this will work! That is what they write in the user manual. Just i case this helps anyone here.
Thank you for the time and trouble, I am sure this review took a lot of effort! It was very professional. You helped me decide on my camere purchase. I went with this camera, but the slightly newer version that includes the rear camera. I have also ordered a carpet dash cover from ebay already lol ! You gave the BEST review that I could find online period!!
I thought I recognized the buford highway area from the first video, but you always had cars with out of state tags immediately after I thought I recognized something that threw me off. Nice Review.
The corrupted file is probably from when the car is turned off and the system doesn't finish the file, before power is gone. You can often times upload the file to youtube if you need to recover some or all of the footage. I did this with a real accident.
Had a thinkware f800,total nightmare trying to get the app to work,so saw this and after reading reviews on so many dash cams I think this is the one,great video thank you
for the glare issue on your recordings, you can simply buy a lens glare filter, that will simply do the job perfectlly with getting rid of any glare oltogether, and it costs the same as a dash matt that looks super ugly as hell. U can try the 20$ Nextbase filter, it fits with doubble sided tape ring supplied with the product, and it most likely fit most camera lenses, as it is a similar size to most other dash cams lens on the market. It worths the try though
You can plug directly into your computer using a USB cord with the correct connector to the unit. It will then open the video files with out having to remove the micro card.
@@cktechcheck also, it's a good idea to get the max size card, for when it records over the old files. So that way its less wear on the card, for longer life. Example: you have a 32gb card and a 128gb card... both will write over old video and keep recording, but its how often it has to right over witch determines how long the card will last...aside From other factors , but the main factor is that rewriting over and over. So bigger card means less writing over the card, and less wear over a longer time... so the card should last longer. In one week let's say your 32gb fills up and writes over fully twice... well a 128gb would of only filed up half way in the same amount of time, so less over all wear, since that wear is from going back over the card.
Please, can the camera start the record automatically simultaneously you put ON/start the contact in the car?... or you neet put ON the camera at the beginning all the time? (I would like to forget to put "ON" this device every day)Thank
can you use this plugged to a solar energy bank? as i want a camera exactly because my bmw 5 series pass along time parked and the scratches are making me crazy on a 80k car... so i just want to have a camera with sensor that will not drain the batery and still film any vandalism.
In my Skoda Karoq the 12v outlet remains on when car is off ....any way of getting around camera being permanently on without unplugging power each time I leave the car and remembering to plug it back in when I drive?
Suppose i want to shoot Video of both the doors at any specific time and do not want to shoot video of Front and Rear , then the SKYBLUESEA B2W & CAMSONIC ULTRA Z 2 & 3 Dash Cam Benefits if a person want to shoot a video outside the front doors sides Left & Right , would be easy to change the direction of both the Cams/Lens , option to Rotate , as they Rotates 180 degrees .I love those Dash Cams .
So i got the AUKEY Dr02-d that comes with the rear camera. Unfortunately the front camera was deffective. Thinking of getting this dr02 (fromt camera only) would my rear camera work with this model? Thanks!
I want the dash cam who's rear cam dual or single , what I like should Rotate wherever I want to rotate should be attached to the holder ball kind . The easiest way . All Dash Cam should be like that . Easy to Record if Criminal/s comes to the either front door .....
Thanks for your review. I want to buy this dashcam to record my highway trips in a single clip ¿Is this possible? For how long can I make a single video? 1hr? 2hrs?
Hey, I have this camera for around 2 years and its been working great, but now almost every day my time resets which is very annoying , I guess the internal board battery is dying, now I opened it up and theres this small circle battery but no easy way of replacing it without breaking the metal connector, any ideas?
@@FéargalO it's a bit fiddly as it's so small. You really need a soldering gadget with crocodile teeth to hold the board and tweezers while you solder it. I'm a complete novice with a soldering iron so it's not impossible for a 1st timer.
hi, my internal battery probably is out power, everytime i start, settings are reset and need to confirm all anytime, i open it, battery is soldered, cant change it, any suggestion? thanks
@@srwmuseum Mine started playing up after 2 years with various different problems (a lot of which I suspect are the capacitors gone bad) anyway I’ve replaced it now with a Viofo.
After a year my dr02 often gets back to default settings on its own, sometimes It suddenly turns off and takes some 2 Min to restart...anyone else has to deal with the same problem?
I had mine for just over 2 years before it started playing up. Sometimes it reverts to default settings (the other day it changed from kph to mph and muted the mic) sometimes when it starts up the screen shows the language option so I have to hit the ok button and sometimes it doesn’t power up at all and I have to pull the power cord and replug it. So I’ve just ordered the Viofo A129 Duo. Apart from all that it worked great for 2 years.

You said “thank you to all my subs” as I started eating a sub sandwich
Thanks for posting. I just bought one of these, BTW...Atlanta is such a zoo to drive through/around.
Thank you for this review, just bought exactly the same model. Prevent me from screw things up😆👍

you could of got the len's cover to fit over it, that will get rid of the glare.
I love it still have it after 2 years, the only thing i hate is how i cant find a GPS adapter, got 2 on ebay and both didnt work :(
I purchased a SanDisk 128GB Ultra Plus micro card. It did NOT work with the DR02.
You can plug directly into your computer using a USB cord with the correct connector to the unit. It will then open the video files with out having to remove the micro card.
Did you make a video on how to use this camera in parking mode?
@@cktechcheck How's it going now? Just bought the dashcam and I would be interested in watching it when it comes out
You don't need a cardreader, just use a "normal" usb cable, like with an external HDD . The one in the package is only for power.
Well done, I love your videos
There are specific memory cards for dashcams/security camera that are high endurance cards. That may of been your memory card issue

Hi there, so basically the camera keeps recording all time when it's on, and it over-rights previous data unless it was protected, right? Cheers
your video clips are blurry a bit.. too much noise. or is it youtube lower your clips resolution?
Thank you! I bought mine in 2020 but I had to buy a new sd card and can't remember how to format it. any guidance would be helpful.
In my Skoda Karoq the 12v outlet remains on when car is off ....any way of getting around camera being permanently on without unplugging power each time I leave the car and remembering to plug it back in when I drive?
When the camera can’t record for some reason does it let you know? How does it do it?

memory corruption can be mitigated with the use of High Endurance SD cards.
Such as ?
E90_Boris the Samsung Pro Endurance ones are often mentioned in combination with dashcams. I have no experience with it personally, though.
@@cktechcheck let us know if it worked!
how do i get my dashcam to delete the oldest video as it records new video to free space on the SD card?
Excellent video....just what I needed
dumb question but how do I pull a footage from a minor front end collision? how many months far back does the dashcam record things?
So i got the AUKEY Dr02-d that comes with the rear camera. Unfortunately the front camera was deffective. Thinking of getting this dr02 (fromt camera only) would my rear camera work with this model? Thanks!
Is it safe to put Dash mat dashboard cover in a car as it rests on air bag opening in most of the cases?
Good info, Good production value. I'm Subbin' thx CKTC!

こちらのドライブレコーダーを自分の車に取り付けてそろそろ6年が経とうとしていますがまだ故障していません。SDカードのエラーも一度も発生したことがなく、再フォーマットしたことがないです。なかなかの品質ですがこちらの後継機は開発されていないようで残念です。
Completely agree. I still have mine going all this time. It really is a shame they haven't introduced a worthy follow up.
where should i get my sd card at ?(store wise)
I bought and used this over a year. About 18 months. I liked it! But it doesn't work anymore:( nor do they sell it anymore
I found one in a swapmeet, brand new, no issues. Never used.
Awesome video thanks !
Thanks for your review. I want to buy this dashcam to record my highway trips in a single clip ¿Is this possible? For how long can I make a single video? 1hr? 2hrs?
Options are 3,5,10 minutes - I believe.
What's the maximum storage I can buy in micro sd for this?
@@cktechcheck I had already bought a 128gb samsung pro endurance before you replied & happy to report it works great

@@cktechcheck well apparently there's capacitors there and they're soldered well, guess it's time to replace the camera soon
There is a very small battery soldered in that can be replaced. Did mine and now the time & date stay put
@@OnMENogin Does not sound straight forward to replace if soldered in?

Not batteries. This model uses capacitors.

My stops filming after about two mins,why
@@cktechcheck no message
I'd go with Viofo. Aukey is OK but viofo is better. I'm an installer so I see a bunch of these things. cam-on.ca
Gas $2.29.....
Is this video from the 50's??😂
This is a lie! I have connected my camera to my computer many times to retrieve recorded footage. You don't need to buy an SD card reader.
The guy could have been injured and you didn’t stop. Very civic minded.
Hi mines keep rebooting itself and keeps switching on and off? Any suggestions?
Maybe there is something wrong with the power cable or its connection to your car?
Having the same issue 3 years after purchase. I guess it is time to get a new one.
