Absolutely awful, sent me a package with damaged cameras and missing several cameras. When I requested a return for a refund they asked for pictures. Not really sure how to send pictures of stock that wasn’t received. awful Show details
Worst customer service I have ever experienced, as there is none !! Tried to contact multiple times over phone, email and their service chat on their website. There is just nobody to be reached or to get back/respond. Don't even know if it's a real company. Stay better away from them
Follow-up · No one of the company ever has gotten back to me. Despite sending multiple emails and web chat messages. Phone calls have never been answered
The 4G tracker I bought is totally inaccurate and gives a position more than a kilometre from where it actually is. I have emailed a request to them for support and the instructions provided have tables that are cut off so the instructions are no… Read more
good. No response after 2 weeks to the email so have rung and left a message, but no response to that either. Won’t be purchasing any more of their products
Follow-up · Product review gave Elinz the opportunity to help me out but they weren’t responsive again. I’ve now ditched their tracker wasting time and $ and gone with Solid GPS - a far superior product.

M7AHD Monitor and AHD cameras – Very satisfied with the final outcome. Monitor was easy to connect, cameras fitted easily. Tudeh my cameras live feed at all times the vehicle is running and the rear view is more than adequate. Show details · 1
Dash cam is a ripper! – Very happy with the dash cam we bought. Easy to use, great picture quality, very affordable and works like a charm. We were advised it would take up to 7 days for the express delivery postage we opted for on 'click and collect'. We received it within 3 days! Highly recommend both the product and the company. We'll be happy to use their services again. Alex & Judy, Darwin, NT Show details · 1

Elinz FHD 1080 Starvis/Oled TP/ GPS/ Wifi dual dashcam – I bought this Elinz dual dash cam from Amazon for $189 AU. Because I want to upgrade from Muson front only dash cam which is good for its price. Ive seen alot of actual video on youtube that's why I Bought this, its true, but elinz doesn't support 128gb of sd card false advertisements on amazon you can only use 32gb on this dashcam. So beware I… Read more
bought 128gb Class 10 and dash cant read the card it can only read up to 32gb doesn't support 128gb. Other than that I have no issues at all, easy to install front & rear cam for a women like me, no hassle on wirings and great video quality recording. If I didnt wasted $45 for 128gb sd card I will give elinz 5 star ratings. And also be careful on installing your rear cam, I installed it upside down on first try so i need to correct it and reinstalled lol.

4K Ultra HD Dual Dash Cam 3" OLED Touch Screen WiFi Reverse Camera GPS Sony Supercapacitor – Not having much luck with this brand, I'm sure they are great and the quality or the dashcame looks good however you don't have much info on how to operate it, plus cant seem to see the screen because how much of a angle it's on when stuck to the window because of that the screen is always glaring, I also got a hardwire kit from their ebay sites… Read more
and it seems nothing like advised.
"Update" don't waste your money. After a year of owning this product it as packed it in and took my not so cheap micro card with, I noticed about 7mths ago the screen was going a funny colour as you can see it got worse, alot of near misses was never recorded, the screen would freeze I would be driving however the it be showing me still parked at home. The touch screen would be none responsive. The reverse feature is pointless as the screen in on to much of a angle to even see. I would request my money back but seems the product has been removed from catch.

Extremely poor customer service – I purchased a solar panelled security camera on the 6th November 2020. On the 8th of December i wrote to their customer service explaining I am having issues with it popping up constantly saying i needed an SD card. I was not told i needed to purchase one as i purchased the yearly cloud subscription (about 45 dollars). Unfortunately the pop ups… Read more
continued until i spend more money on an SD card. I reported more problems on the 29th January 2021 explaining that the camera dies every week even though it has a solar panel (in full sun). They said to send it back which i did. I was never contacted at all but received a new shipping numnber so i assumed they were sending me a new camera. I received the camera and it was my SAME CAMERA. I emailed them asking if they sent the same camera back and they said they could see no issues so sent it back with a new solar panel. I explained AGAIN the issue occurs about every week with the camera dying - not overnight. Nevertheless, I hung it back up and tried again. Unsurprisingly the same issues occurred so i reached out to Elinz AGAIN. They said i could send it back and the would send a replacement and they refused to refund as it had been more than 60 days (even though i first reported issues a month after receiving it). I pushed for a refund and didnt hear anything. I sent 2 follow up emails before finally a week later they said i could get a refund. I returned the camera and once again, heard nothing. I reached out AGAIN on the 24th March (wednesday) and they confirmed they have it and they would refund that friday. Friday night i emailed chasing the refund. The next day they said they would follow up. I sent another email on Monday explaining we are now in a lockdown and i need the money as i dont get paid for not working, They said they would follow up. I sent another email on Tuesday and Wednesday (today). This is just getting ridiculous. I have had to reach out to them EVERY TIME about whether they received the item, about why they just sent back the same camera. I am so over dealing with this company. I have arranged a dispute through paypal as im truly worried i wont every get my $150.00 back.
I will never shop with this company again and i will be reporting them.
Hi Britt,
Our system shows the refund was issued via Paypal back in 23/03/21
4K Ultra HD Dual Dash Cam 3" OLED Touch Screen WiFi Reverse Camera GPS Sony Supercapacitor – Purchased the dash cam, on receiving. i tried this out in the back yard before install and found the GPS unit faulty. Returned the unit, it took a couple of weeks as ELINZ on ly deal with RMA returned one a week on a Friday. new dash arrived GPS working well. Also purchased the wiring kit, strand it looks nothing like the advertised one, all… Read more · 1
writing was in Chinese, the only english words said "photography time delay". The rear camera wiring came with a red cable, the instructions said this to be connected to the power side of the rear side lights (my installer did not understand this as the camera worked ok with the red cable not connected). The install kit came with two clear plastic sheets which are to be mounted the front and rear screens before attaching the camera's. (Again my installer did not understand the reason for these sheets, he installs many BlackVue camera systems, but we fitted the sheets anyway. on returning home i checked the resultant stored video. I had the camera set with WDR on and no auto switch off to off. Also the time loop to 5 mins (64GB class 10 sd card fitted. Front camera shows lots of dashboard reflections, also there is a blue light on the front of the camera always on. I turned the auto time out to 5 mins. No change, it's been on all night. my video is not as good as shown the in your site demo. not able to read number plates of passing vehicles. Also the screen on the camera does not stay on during operation, why not. Hope you are able to assist with resolving my problems
A few niggles with Solar powered CCTV – Found the product quite easily as it came up when searching. The purchase process was easy and it was delivered the following day, rather the day after that which was estimated. I'm very pleased with the camera itself. However, the outdoor wall mount is a poor design. The bolt would not go in as the cover that takes the bolt would not slide on… Read more · 1
far enough to allow the screw to engage the thread, that is the recess in the column was short of where it would allow the bolt to engage the thread. I then used a bolt with the same thread but with a flat end. However, the ball that the camera attached to was then loose. I added a spacer but even with that the camera is still too loose but just about usable, although I can't tilt the camera as gravity wins over the friction of the spacer.
The second issue is that the solar panel appears to be able to only run the camera but not charge the battery. When the solar cable is plugged into the camera and when solar is being generated the camera says battery 100% but if the solar is then removed the battery remains at around the same charge %. A standard USB wall charger charges the camera in addition to running the camera. I tested the solar today as it was sunny, the last few days have been pretty poor for solar.

Warranty is rubbish – Purchased a reversing camera which was professionally installed. Never worked properly. Picture was always dropping out. Got in touch with warranty section and sent video’s eventually sending unit back. Elinz sent back a video depicting the camera working and refused to replace it. I re-installed and same issue - not transmitting Warranty isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Buy from a shop and at lest they will replace on the spot. Cheers Show details

VERY Average Product Quality – I purchased two different products from Elinz a few months ago at the same time and both have been VERY average in quality. While the video quality of the dash camera I purchased is great, when it actually works properly, it does not keep saved videos and the rest of the videos skip up to 2 hours between recordings! The light bar I purchased is okay but definitely not to the quality of light emission as shown in the promotional photos. Show details

A good company to do repeat business with is one that supports its customers – As a distributor of factored products, the products are as good as the original manufacturer made them and the quality of the product is down to the manufacturer so when a product fails what is reassuring is that this company did not fob me off with "can I send a picture" "can I send a video" "sorry I don't understand" they accepted the problem… Read more · 1
and did everything to try to resolve the issue. Remember you can make a sale but loose a customer or you can loose a sale and gain a customer by being honest and open. For this reason I would like to say that I am now a customer happy to buy from this company. And they are easy to contact by phone and email unlike many others.

Poor quality and devices do not work the way they describe – I bought few items here and very disappointed with the products, I report the issue they answer but they dont give options only blame the supplier and that's it. I won't buy anything else here I would recommend to keep looking and spend more if that is the case and have something that really works Show details

I have bought many products from "Elinz" – I can not fault one of them. from inverters to chargers and even challenging the support team to very technical questions. They have NEVER failed for me. An outstanding company with awesome products! I have no vested interest lest regards for their commitment to quality. Thanks ELINZ Show details · 1
Terrible Terrible Terrible - Worst customer service ever! – Purchased a CCTV camera and upon installation found it to be faulty. Returned the item more than 4 weeks ago and haven't heard a thing back from these clowns. Have sent two follow up emails and no one has responded to those either. Stay away, buy a different brand and avoid the headaches. Very disappointing customer service and I'll have to lodge a charge back to get my money back. Show details

Good service and follow up – I bought an inexpensive drone to take away on holidays. While the drone exceeded our expectations and is a lot of fun, one of the batteries was faulty. An email to Elinz was replied to the next day with a postage paid label to return the battery. A replacement battery then arrived in a few days. Excellent follow up by the customer service team.
