    Thanks for the video. I did a few things differently. Mounting the back camera on the window points it downward so half the view is inside the car. I mounted mine on the horizontal plastic above the window so I could face the camera straight back so I get the full view. I also tucked all the cables to make it look neat. Tucking all the cables took me less than 45 minutes.

    Nice video explanation, and you got taste in music 😁. I can't wait to get mine tomorrow and install it, i got the latest F7NP fully loaded kit including the hard wire kit and also the Polarizing Lens to help and deflect opposit car's lights and get a clearer video of their licence plates.
    Also finally i am answering some of the comments i read. This man clearly stated his wife's car is a lease, so that is why he is not bothered to install the cabling nice and tidy cause they switch cars often.

    Thank you for the detailed unboxing and installation at actual speed. I’d rather watch a video that I can skip ahead if I want than have to go back and rewatch parts of it over because it was uploaded with a fast playback speed. And I completely understand why you did an easily-removable setup. If you’re leasing, you don’t want to go prying back molding around the windshield and doors. Again, thanks for the video.

    • @GrayTrend
      @GrayTrend  Рік тому +3

      @@gracieki7231 The dash cam will turn off once you turn off the ignition (unless you purchase and install a hardwire kit separately). You shouldn't have to worry about the video taking up space. Once the microSD card reaches it's hard drive space limit, it will record over the oldest video. This is called loop recording. So a 64 GByte microSD card will record about 5 hours of driving time before it starts looping and recording over old video. This dash cam also has G-shock capability, so if you're in an accident or if you have to slam on your breaks, it will store that video in a locked file that will not be recorded over. Appreciate again that you watched the video. Best of luck to you.

I am new to the world of dash cams so I’m hesitant about them at the moment. I have been browsing for a while and I stumbled upon your video. And this cam is very convincing since it has all the features I am looking for. Is a protection plan worth getting through Amazon for this cam? Thanks so much!

      Thanks for the comment! Great question! I usually take a chance and do not purchase the protection plan for these dash cams. It's $16.99 for a 2 year plan and $24.99 for a 3 year protection plan. If you want peace of mind, I'd go ahead and get a protection plan. I can tell you I've had my REDTIGER F7N for 2 years now and it's awesome. Never have to worry about it. Best of luck to you!!!

    They have an upgrade the F7NP which uses a suction cup for the front camera a MUCH BETTER design because those 3M stickers do NOT hold in Southern climates due to heat related issues when the vehicle is parked in the sun. I also did NOT use the electrostatic shields AND I glued the REAR camera directly to the rear window using titebond glue and a thin piece of plywood (1/16th"). I removed the glue "sticky" completely from the rear camera mount (and did NOT use the 3M stick mount anywhere). The rear camera is also a lot lighter with the new model. BTW why does he select NOT having your speed stamp in your files? You need to turn that ON (I have no idea why he has it off... yeah you want YOUR speed in those recordings (so do NOT speed!)). I also select 24 hour time stamp as all my clocks are set that way. One final note. Even in my Kia Soul the rear camera wire was too short! It has a lift gate thus you need extra length for those. I extended mine because I'm highly technically oriented BUT you probably ain't THUS you can order a longer extension from redTiger's website. About $20. They have a 33' & 50' version (obviously for RV's).

      @@daytonpyro I mainly try to keep the camera up and out of the way so there's no visual impairment. The windshield in the Q8 e-tron has a steep angle from the roof to the hood and there isn't much room at all where the camera won't be in the driver's view. That's why I placed it where I did.

    Rear dash cam installation does not make sense because the way you did it, the camera would be pointing down inside the vehicle. What did you do exactly to make the camera point out to the road?

    • @GrayTrend
      @GrayTrend  4 місяці тому

      I installed the rear camera in the middle and at the top of the rear window with the rear hatch open which makes it look a bit odd at the time. Once the rear hatch closes, this is the position the rear camera should be in. The problem with the Audi Q8 Etron is the rear of the car has an aggressive slant from the top to the end of the rear window which drastically reduces the camera's vision. So far, the dash cam has worked great for us. Appreciate that you watched the video!!!

The "Touch" and the F7N-S are suction cup mounted dash cams, and the F7N-P's only difference from the F7N I've seen is it comes with a 32 GByte microSD card.

Make sure it has a U with a 3 inside of it (This means it's Ultra High Speed and can write 30MB per second to the disc). Also, make sure it has V30 on the label (this is the Video Speed Class and means the card can write at 30MB per second to disc). If it has a Circle with a 10 inside of it (means the Video Speed Class is 10 and it can write a minimum of 10MB per second to the disc). If you have the U with a 3 in it and either V30 or the Circle with a 10 in it, you should have no problems recording 4K do the microSD card.
      You can also try to reformat your microSD card and see if that corrects the problem, or you could reset your dash cam.

      If you have the front camera tucked away to the right side, then it's the same way for the rear, every tiny gap you see shove the cable into it until the rear window, but go left for the rear if that makes sense.. Sorry that is the best way I can explain it lol. Just search more install videos on UA-cam and you will find someone who shows how it is done, it's not hard to do it on your own.

      Hello, I think your first issue is something that can easily be overcome, and your WiFi question has a YES answer to it. Let me explain:
      The REDTIGER F7N comes with a power cable that is USB-C connected to the front camera and USB-A connected to a 12 volt source which could either be the lighter adapter that is provided with the dash cam, or you could just directly plug the power cord into a USB-A power source within the GMC vehicle.
      Yes, the REDTIGER App connects via WiFi in order to view video and pictures from the main unit, to make changes to settings, or to download video from the main unit to your smartphone.

When you purchase your microSD card, make sure (for 4K recording) that you have a U 3 rating and at least 30 Mega Bytes (MB) for read/write onto the drive, 100 MB is even better.

    • @GrayTrend
      @GrayTrend  9 місяців тому

      The REDTIGER F7N video format is MP4 with a H.264 compression which is currently the most ideal for in car dash cameras. It's very easy to either download a copy of your video via the the RedTiger app (requires WiFi connection) from the dash cam to your smartphone, or you can remove the microSD card and upload the file to your computer/laptop. Currently, my 5 minute clips recorded to the microSD card are 934.8 MBytes in size, so it records at ~186.96 MBytes per minute. Of course you can cut your video down to just what you want to present to your insurance agency which could be only 10 or 20 seconds of video. Appreciate that you watched my video!

The rear hatch window area of the Q8 E-tron Sportback is very limited, plus the trunk cover limits the view even more. Positioning of the camera is pushed as far north as possible.

    There was a comment about why you would use the WiFi to sync to the phone app. Of course the main reason you have this camera is to record an accident to show how much at fault, if any, you were. My son-in-law has been in two no fault accidents. When the Police arrived, the other driver claimed that the accident was 100% the other driver's fault, a big lie. so my son-in-law was able to show the Police right then and there a large video on his cell phone (expandable with your fingers), showing the other driver was 100% at fault. The other driver then admitted fault and the Police report was written up right then and there with the truth. If you have to go home, get your laptop and download the video, take it to the Police station to prove your case, you are buying a lot of headaches and it still might not come out with you ahead.
