What’s in the box?:
Main unit, mounting cradle, 4 GB SDHC memory card (made by Sandisk), extra adhesive tape, cable holders, power cable, user manual, SD card reader (via USB port).

Review:
OK, now that the facts are all copied out above, let’s get on with the review already!

Presentation:
I emailed the Amazon seller ahead of time to discuss return policies and the like but mainly to test if I was working with someone from the USA. They responded quickly and kindly. The seller was very helpful and I liked the return policy. The item showed up promptly.

The box is quite nice and shiny. Everything is placed in small taped bags to prevent friction during transport. There are remarkably many things to dig through in this little black box. Instructions are on top and the camera and accessories are in a vacuum shaped pack. Camera in a bag on the right, center is the mounting bracket, ready to be taped to the windshield, other side had the power cord and underneath I found the memory card in a sleeve and the memory card reader and cable holders. The card reader is for if your computer doesn’t read sdhc cards. There is also an extra piece of double sided rubber based tape, in case you mess up the install.

Installation:
Slide the camera sideways into the mounting bracket, peel back the tape and stick it to the windshield. A nice touch, you peel back the tape and you can see through the rubbery adhesive, it says “Itronics” which can be viewed through the windshield. Put the memory card in the side, shut the flap and plug it in. That is all that is really to it, but the devil is in the details. It is advisable to keep it below any window tinting, so I had to mount it lower than I wished. It also has a bit of a fisheye effect so you may get part of your dash if you mount it too low. I decided that I would mount it behind the rearview mirror with the “REC” button slightly exposed in case I want to push it. Above all, make sure it is level or it will forever record your videos all crooked. You will have to take it down to straighten it. The unit comes with a cigarette lighter power cord and should be routed like your usual radar detector. It comes with looms to route it around your windshield. I am leaving it dangling straight down for now because I plan to hotwire it into the electrical system. If you find a switched source, it will turn off with the car. Otherwise it will stay on and you will have to unplug it from the unit to power it down. If left on with the car off, the mfg claims it will run in a lower power mode, lowering the frame rate. I have not and will not try this.

Operation:
Turn on the car power. You will hear 3 small ascending chimes and it is recording. I didn’t realize this when I bought it but the letters “REC” on the record button glow red when it is on, and it started flashing. Per the instructions, the flashing means it is trying to get a signal from the GPS. Once a signal is established, it will stop flashing and stay lit. So I messed around with it for a bit, checking the angle and adjusting it. It took about 2 minutes to get a signal while parked inside my garage. Once it had a signal, I turned off the car and took the memory card to the computer. It lets out 3 descending chimes when you shut off the power. You can wire it into a permanent power supply and it will record in a lower power mode should you be concerned for the night where you parked. It will consume power though, so I have not tried this setup.

Software Installation:
Insert memory card into computer. Click the Playersetup.exe file and the software installs in seconds.

Software Usage:
The instructions explain everything fine in English with a few spots that could use explaining so here are a few tricks that make it easier to understand.

Please click the photo I uploaded, it will open up two more fully labeled photos of the software.

First, when you hover over a button, it doesn’t display a description, so you should check the manual.

Second, you should go into settings right away before messing with anything else. The settings button is the gear in the bottom right corner.

Clicking this brings up a small simple menu for my recommended settings:

Route for file save: Find a spot on your hard drive (not the memory card it defaults to) that the files will be copied to, should you decide to copy the files from the memory card.

Capture Image Format: choose BMP or JPEG

Audio Recording: Select on (high), on (low), off. I chose on (high) because it is still too quiet. You can turn off the audio in the menu and there is an “amp” button which tries to make it louder.

Impact Sensor Sensitivity: 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, OFF. I choose OFF. The settings refer to G-forces that it measures in the x,y,z axis. EVERY SINGLE POTHOLE will make this flag a file with an exclamation point. Very annoying since flagged files do not get overwritten and each one will need to be deleted individually. A slow process when there are several hundred to go through. You can also just go to windows explorer and remove them there but they won’t show up flagged. You are not obligated to use their software except for to set the settings and look at the g-force readings. WMP and QT play the files just fine.

Recording Quality: High 24fps, Standard 30fps, Low 15fps. I know what you are thinking. I made a typo, high should be 30fps. That is the way it is set up and I don’t know what to tell you here except that each of my video editing software’s showed that the Standard did indeed record at 30fps and the High did record at 24fps. Resolution stayed the same at 640×480. I keep it in Standard now.

Illumination Control: Standard, Bright. I keep it in standard. Bright didn’t seem to help much since it is not a night vision camera. I barely noticed a difference.

Time Zone: set it and forget it.

There is a button with an exclamation point. Click this and all the flagged files will instantly be copied to you hard drive.

Next is a file to file button. Click and the highlighted file will be copied. Trash button deletes the selected file. You CANNOT highlight more than one file at a time in this software.

Next is a folder button that allows you to open files from your hard drive. Then there is a SD card button to go back to the SD card.

Above this is the GPS.
The GPS location is very accurate. It is from Google (I hope the path stays the same forever) and you can change from satellite to hybrid and map and zoom. You cannot scroll because it will automatically center you back in the screen.

Above this is the file selection showing File Name, Size and Date/Time. Every file is 11 megs and 1 minute long, unless you cut the power in the middle of a recording. It has a bit of back up power inside to finalize the file and then shuts down.

To the left is the viewing window for playback and it is date and time stamped, above which is a satellite icon (turns on if the GPS is locked in) and a KM/hour display. There is no way I have found to change this to MPH.

Below this large window is the g-force readings, hover over this and you will get a small reading for each axis.

Below this is a VCR type control, a zoom button, a brightness lever, flip video button, take a snapshot button, volume control and AMP button to make it louder.

Overall the software works fine. It is very simplistic and hasn’t locked up yet. I was worried about spyware but it is a standalone product that didn’t invade my registry with garbage. I wish there were more settings and I have yet to check the iPass website for a software update. The software comes on the memory card, so I recommend copying it off to somewhere safe in case the card gets bricked. The manual recommends weekly reformatting of the 4GB card. Firmware updates are stated to be easy to do by installing a .bin file on the memory card and inserting it into the camera. Also, inserting a new memory card into the camera will reformat it

Performance:
It simply works! It does exactly what I was hoping it would. It keeps recycling the files when the card fills up, doesn’t overwrite the flagged files and since I turned off the impact sensor file flagging option, if I see something interesting, I tap the record button and the file is flagged. I love what you can do with this thing, instead of telling stories of that jacka$$ that cut you off, or the two people ahead of you that tried to occupy the same space at the same time, or a nice car ride view of a drag race, you can SHOW IT! You can also swivel it around 180 degrees and face inside the car if you want, and there is a button to flip the video quickly so you don’t make everyone watching, throw up.

I find that during dusk, the video gets quite grainy no matter what the setting, and at night, you see only what your headlights can hit since it is not night vision. The resolution is good but not great, and the video is not high enough quality to read someone’s plate unless you are right on top of them at a stoplight.

There is a competing product called the Siv M7. It seems to do the same thing, costs the same and includes a bigger memory card. The frame rate is 30, 15, 10, 640×480 again and you can adjust the brightness and sharpness as well as each axis’ sensitivity individually. The software seems a bit better. It can chart a full path traveled and show your average speed, distance, total stop duration, etc. But a few things put me off.

First, it has red buttons that don’t fit with the finish of the model which is knurled black and silver. They stick out like a beacon. The ITB-70G has a “luxury feel” (I read this somewhere and laughed until I had it in my hands). It refers to that it feels like the same material your turn signal stalks are made if. It is very smooth and elegant looking and blends in very well with the car.

Secondly, the main thing that killed the SIV for me was…it talks. Whenever you get an alert, it will say, “EVENT”! It also says, “WELCOME, PLEASE REBOOT THE SYSTEM, AUDIO ON/OFF, PARKING MODE ON/OFF, INSERT SD CARD, CHECK SD CARD”. I do not see a setting in the instructions I downloaded, to shut the voice off. It also has two flashing lights red and blue and depending on which is flashing or alternating in any number of combinations, each mean a different thing. It seemed a bit confusing. In the end I am happy with the camera I chose, but wish the software was more like the one with the SIV.

Rating:

Presentation/Packing: 4/5 Nice artwork and glossy box, well packed, clear pictures and manual is in very good English

Installation: 5/5 easy. Stick, plug into cigarette lighter, you are done. Route the wire as you see fit.

Software: 2/5 too simple, works fine but more control and options would have been nice, especially when compared to the Siv software. Installed on XP SP3.

Hardware: 5/5 everything you need to hook it up and make it work on your pc is included. Quality of workmanship is very good with no sharp edges or poor fitting parts. It blended seamlessly with the interior of my car which has a black and grey interior.

Hardware Performance: 8/10 Easy to use, works flawlessly, non-intrusive, does what it claims. No other dash cams out there right now have great picture quality; all are best at 640×480 and 30fps. Going back and forth from shadow to light at dusk causes the image to pixilate.

Overall: 24/30 = GET ONE!

UPDATE:

There is a firmware and software update on the Korean website. The software is regional specific and all in Korean. I could not get it to work here. I did NOT attempt to install the firmware because I do not want to brick my iPass in case it needs the latest software to run. I have no knowledge if these new updates will come to the US. My return policy window has expired. When the weather warms up, I will hotwire this in so I don’t have to stare at the cable dangling down anymore. Will report back if there are any changes to the performance of the product or software/firmware updates.

Note to Critics:

I do not work for Itronics, Cyanics or any company affiliated with the prodution or sale of this product. This review is based solely on my experience with the item that I purchased. Also note that this is an Amazon Verified Purchase which means I personally paid for the item here at Amazon, who has proof of the transaction.

state payed for damages
By John Ellison
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XSS78EOV14MU Thanks to this camera, I had video proof of a bridge not being closed all the way. I hit it and damaged all four rims and tires. DOTD said there was nothing wrong with the bridge, but when I showed them the video, they payed me a fat check. Check out the video. Be sure to have your volume turned up so you can laugh.

Great Recorder
By J Moore
I bought this product as a “knee-jerk” reaction to getting pulled over by the police and being told I was going about 6 MPH faster than I believe I was driving. I sat in my truck feeling helpless while my speed was being explained. As I sat stewing I vowed I would do something to at least have a fighting chance when I believed an error had been made.

The very reasonable officer asked me if I agreed with the speed assessment and gave me a written warning (36 in a 30 zone) when I gave my side. However I had already vowed to have proof next time. I don’t know if the video will be accepted in court, but the video is amazing. I bought the 70G with the GPS and embedded speed readings.

I read the other reviews and don’t want to set the expectation bar to high, but everything is better than I was expecting. Ease of use, quality of video, quality of components. I emailed the company about converting to MPH and they responded within hours with the US sales rep’s email and I’m expecting the firmware update any time now.

I guess the only negative I have is a reasonable one. They tell you not to leave it on your windshield in the summer due to the heat. I’m in Texas, can’t leave anything on the dash in the summer. It just involves removing it every time I stop. I mounted the camera behind the mirror, below the tint, and a little off-set to the left so I could access it easier. Very unobtrusive. I haven’t wired it in to the electrical yet so I’m using a power outlet, but plan on getting some terminal lugs and connecting it to the fuse panel.

This may be a little over the top, but now that I have it I can’t imagine anyone with a little extra money not having one. I feel I have a fighting chance in cases of tickets, or any road incident where I am falsely accused. If it is my fault I think the SD card will quietly disappear

Edit – I emailed US customer rep for firmware update when I started writing the review. The update files were in my mail box when I finished the review! Update took less than 5 minutes total to install. Email from company asked about 64 bit Windows 7, because that may have some display bugs that are being worked out, but do not effect camera operation.
