Clearview Cam

TOTAL CRAP !! – DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT it is a total waste of money. Inferior product in many ways, this product does not do what is advertised. Company will ignore you after purchase. Show details

What a disappointment! – I was given this dash cam just over a year and a half ago and was not impressed with the picture quality. Unfortunately, my socket in my car stopped working so I was not able to use it. Since then, I have bought a newer car and on plugging the dash cam in, all I get is a white screen. I even checked the memory card to see what was recorded, on my… Read more

computer, and nothing. I also realized I had not been given a battery. I must have only used it for no more than a week. Please do not waste your money over this piece of junk. NOT happy! One star rating is way too many. I would give it minus 5 stars!

Screen stopped working 2 minutes after unpacking – I can't say much about the recording quality or any features because literally 2 minutes after I first started the unit, the screen first turned a green shade, then completely white. Absolutely unusable, and a terrible product. Tried everything to get it working again, it looks like the graphics chip is faulty. I brought this from an AusPost shop… Read more

for $56 and will be returning it tomorrow for a refund. Terribly disappointing, I will spend some more money to get a camera that actually works from a reputable company. I will not buy any products from ClearView again.

Very good idea to catch the road users not driving correctly – Very good idea to catch the road users not driving correctly. I would advise it very strongly to all vehicle n truck drivers it is very convenient and clear . U can even turn it around to keep an eye on kids in cars . A very good safety product

A perfect view and pictures – This is a great Camera to take pictures if any one hits your vehicle and stays on memory so you can report this person with their registration. Even if you are parked in a car park or on the side of the road. Thanks r this product it can't lose.

Secure driving aid – Instillation was easy but found the screen details hard to read as a 73yo. The unit fell off the windscreen once & the fitting became loose enough for the camera to swivel off center. After some playing around with the menu I was happy to see the camera working continually when driving. Have not yet reviewed the recordings and probably won't… Read more

unless needed due to an accident or event. Would like to have seen a larger screen incorporated, but for the cost the unit is worthwhile.

Performance – I emailed the company over two months ago, and as at the time and date of this correspondence, I have not received a reply. This product will not hold a charge for more than five minutes, thus having to leave the charging cables in place while in use, this is both a hazard and nuisance, also one has lost the screen picture and is permanently… Read more

white. This product is still within the twelve month warranty, so I will be returning them to the place of purchase ( Australia Post Store) for a refund.

clearview dash cam how to change settings – If you can't find your manual its tricky. When you click the menu button and get to the spot you want to change , you'll have to click the top right button next to the start button to change it, then the up or down button then the top right button again.

Waste of money – I bought the Clearview dash cam from global shop direct and it's a waste of money The camera is not clear the suction cup kept failing the camera kept swivilling on its own and the recording is a joke It doesn't keep its charge I asked for a refund and they short changed me $30 Honestly just don't buy this product

Buy something else – Contrary to what it says on the TV commercials, this product is not a good dashcam. Sure, it's very easy to install, but that's the only good thing about it. After that, you'll be dealing with the camera constantly falling because the suction cup isn't working properly and the whole thing rotating randomly. Also, the video quality is very poor especially at night. I doubt if this gadget will be helpful if you get into an accident.

Don't waste your time – I purchased this camera for $20.00, but have seen the same thing branded differently in many other stores for up to $50.00. I didn't expect too much for $20.00 and I was right. It is impossible to read number plates on playback through a computer as the picture is just not clear enough, so what is the point of making a camera like this. The… Read more

original battery was a dud. I replaced it but the time and date continually changes so if you have an accident, the camera is no use to you. Battery cover warped in the sun, so I had to tape it back on. Set to record sound, all you hear is something like a mob of Daleks.

Don't have a crash with this camera! It will be no use to you at all. I don't know how it was even allowed to be sold in Australia. It just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Strictly novelty value, but when the novelty wears off, you will realise you've wasted your money. Put your dollars towards a better quality camera. Pull this one to bits and try and sell the parts. You may get your money back. Just going on the number of complaints and questions on this website, isn't it time that these dashcams were pulled from the market?

Get what you pay for – Suction cap loses suction, swivels around a lot, casing separated in sun and must run on car power at all times. Failed to take pictures when hit in car park. night time recording not real good. Has sd card only recording. video quality is okay during day time use. Constant recording while car is on which overwrites sd card.

Poor quality and misleading information on the pack – My unit just got stuck and I looked everywhere for the reset button it claims to have. I don't think it has one. It does not appear on the diagram that comes with the unit. And the diagram does show an HDMI slot which is definitely not there. Also, on the box it claims to be Full HD, which should be 1080 x 1920 but the highest quality in the… Read more

manual is 1280 x 960. Just bought it from Australia Post and will be returning it tomorrow. Bit disappointed.

Is adequate for the money – In essence it works. - great value. - Image quality isn't that great. I recently tried to extract a Number plate of a vehicle and couldn't, it just isn't clear enough to be able to. - I find the suction mechanism falls off the windscreen from time to time, and the swivel comes loose requiring adjustment. - At the prince you could afford to… Read more

have one for the rear too, something I am considering.

- night recordings aren't crisp enough to be of any use.

- wish it had wireless charging so that i don't have to have a cable hanging down, not that any of the CrashCam manufacturers have it

- Like the SD card recording, and the fact that it breaks the recorded material into manageable chunks of 15 or so mins.

Overall as a device to cover your derrier and substantiate an accident isn't your fault it will do the job, but if you need that number plate, you'd best consider another

Best Thing ever – I am so pleased that i purchased the Clearview Cam. Its easy to install,easy to use. When i replay the recordings everything is clear to see Number Plates and Colour and make of Cars and Motor Bikes. Also very handy for those nasty Pushbike riders. I would highly recommend the Clear View camera.

Waste of money – TV commercial misleading as it infers you can see offending vehicles number plate, clarity not good enough to do that. Video itself is very unclear even in daylight and clear conditions. Could not locate small hole to reset unit as stated in the documentation. Installation guide difficult to understand, grammar terrible. Please don't waste your money on this item.

Unwatchable – Picture is extremely unclear, very bad re-focus from shade to sunlight, waste of time. The instructions are very vague and do not cover what operating options are available. I would not recommend buying this product to anyone as it is a complete waste of time and money it would be better to spend your money elsewhere.

clearview cam is absolute rip off! Do not buy – I bought it last year, and every 2 days it says full so I had to delete and reset it. Absolute rip off as I bought 32 g sd card and it's not 32 g. When it replays, it's noisy and unclear image. I had to buy another sd card from officeworks 16 g and last many many weeks. Please don't buy.

Takes pictures and that's all – I have had two of these and the first one just gave up and Replaced under warranty. The second one won't retain time and date after repeated setting, useless in the case of an incident. I obtained a Kogan for my second car. Useless and got my money back. It failed to record at various times and you didn't realise until you tried to find an incident. Now I have an expensive Garmin. It does all it claims to do and I have had no problems.

It's ok – It works ok but to small for me as cannot read the screen so it's a waste of money for me. Have a nice day but if you wear reading glasses it's no good for you. You can buy this clear view dash cam a lot more cheaper on Wish. That's all I have to say because you must use more words.

Clearview Cam review – For its price, it is not a bad dash cam, but does have some flaws. Works well, but video is average at best. Number plates are not legible until you are about 3 feet away. Instruction sheet is terrible. Fortunately, it is not hard to figure out how to use the camera. Have been using it for about 1 month and have not had any issues. Overall, it serves the purpose it was bought for, so I would consider it as a reasonable cheap dash cam.

Huge waste of money – My daughter got me one of these from Aus Post at the start of the year set it up following the instructions and have been very disappointed with it. So far I have had to reset it every time I start the car but don't bother anymore as it seems to reset the time and date and all other settings every time I turn the car off doesn't start properly… Read more

every time I turn the car on and doesn't record at times have looked for things that have happened right in front of me but is nowhere to be found on the sd card nor is any motion detection footage so that doesn't work either will be getting a different dashcam as this one is absolute rubbish.

its great – i love having it , i have buy a second one for a family member and i hope that it help her out when out on the road when taking her kids to school and driving around the centre coast , and keeps her safe when she driving of other people on the roads

Not worth it – If there was an option of no star at all, I would have happily given that from dash cam of it to the appalling customer disservice. I bought this on Global shop after seeing it on morning tv ads. The battery didn't last long and you need to have it continuously charging. Whereas on the ad, they give you the impression that you can drive around… Read more

without it charging. It only lasted a few days and it stopped charging completely. When I emailed them for a refund given my concerns, I got fobbed off with that it's still within warranty and they will send a replacement charger. That is a very crafty way of buying time out of the 30 days warranty given their postage T & Cs that it will take 7-10 working days depending on your location and never arrives on time. Eventually it arrived and then another problem developed. The SD card stopped working and will show up no SD card despite it being properly inserted. I emailed them my concerns and I got asked if I want a refund or replacement. This time I had had enough and wanted my money back. Only to be replied by another person now saying they can't refund me as the warranty has expired blah blah blah. They agreed to replace the SD card on condition that I first post back the faulty one but they never said the same for the charger. It wasn't until 20th January when it finally arrived and that was after a lot of emails back and forth. It is just not worth it. I should have read reviews beforehand. First and last buying anything on here. It's better to go and buy direct in the shops. Once they have your money, it's a nightmare to try and get a refund.

Clearview camera fitment – I have positioned mine (Clearview Camera) behind the rear view mirror and it does not impede the front view by myself for any other person on the road!! This fitment in my view compliant with laws relevant to TV screens or similar.Great product and can be downloaded with relative ease.

Dash Cam ClearviewCam – So far so good. Clear visual on the little screen. Easy to use. Easy to change from day to night with just a touch of a button. Easy to download and view footage. Will be purchasing another two for other vehicles. Only problem is screw mount could be a tighter and not so floppy. Do like the motion sensor feature too.

clamp scerw – the locking on the screw mount could be a bit better. it keeps moving everytime i close the tailgate as i have it mounted as a rear view camera.also most upto date cameras use a MINI card. the clarity of the clearview dash camera is good ans its fold away screen is a great idea

It is awesome – I love mine best thing out I can drive with ease knowing I have my dash cam on.Everyone should have one in there car as they are just a awesome item. Told all my children to buy one for there cars that they are great and they wouldn't be disappointed with it

Very useful – Product is working okay and was easy to setup in the car. I did find some of the instructions are a little bit confusing to follow. However over all I did find that the clear view cam works very well. Easy to mount and lock into place and is fairly unobtrusive.

I have been ripped off – I purchased a clear view cam for my wife's car on the28th December.When we received it it did not have a battery.After a month we got the battery and after charging the camera did not work,just a white screen.The camera was purchased through Global Shop Direct who I am having problems dealing with now.

Good Unit – Since installation the unit has worked very well. It is easy to set up and use. Downloading information is easy using the sim card. It is so easy to install into the car, takes three minutes Fitting the sim card to my computer the images are clear and well defined. Very happy with the result.

this product is so hot it melts – Was very happy with the functionality of the unit. One downside, mine distorted/peeled back in all the corners , on the battery side, Side facing up, in the heat of the day. Battery nolonger hold charge. The unit has only been used for the last few weeks. However despite this the unit still works as long as its plugged in.

Picture quality is garbage – Clear view picture quality is very low, I almost got into an accident when a road side assistance ute made a u-turn in Pacific Highway (110 KPH speed limit). I reviewed the footage to get the plate number but because of the picture quality I am not able to get it. I didn't expect this camera to have a crisp footage but i also didn't expect garbage quality video.

Perfect for my needs – I have been using my clear view cam for several weeks now and I couldn't be happier. It turns itself on and off and was simple to set up. Although I have not used any of the footage as yet I am confident that if something happens I will capture everything and have evidence of the incident. Very happy :-)

So easy, so clear, should have bought one long ago – Well packaged, easy installation, small size big specs, easy to use (although deleting is a bit clumsy), have fitted a 16gb card so I have hours of travel recording capacity, ideal for a long trip, have already captured some crazy footage of peoples driving antics, am about to buy 2 more to have one in each daily driver.
