Kapture KPT-722

POOR EXAMPLE OF A DASH CAM - KAPTURE KPT-722
You assume when you pay about $200 you'll get a reasonable product. It is absolute garbage. Inserting the card is very difficult, along with attaching the camera. The most frustrating thing I have ever owned. It is constantly falling off the window. The window and rubber have been cleaned multiple times, and it still falls off - this has lead to damage to the plugs, so the rear camera is now not functioning due to the plug failing to connect correctly. DON'T buy this junk. KAPTURE = JUNK
Purchased in May 2016 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for $215.
Rubbish - breaks easy and cables too short
Rear camera cable too short by 1 metre and the car is a small mazda 3 not even a 4wd.
Adjustment knob broken out of box.
The permanant need to glue to window would prevent ease of removal for window shade
Purchased in December 2020 for $90.
trouble trying to get SD card updated, as it says to do. Still won’t record to iPhone.
trouble trying to get SD card updated, as it says to do. Still won’t record to iPhone. Emailed company several times, as manual doesn’t explain. reply hard to understand. My daughter supposedly upgraded SD card for me, so should work, but doesn’t. Very disappointed. have to return it. Sad, because it would be great if it worked. Don’t like the way it sticks on windscreen the way it does. Keeps coming off.
Purchased in December 2019 at JB Hi-Fi.
Same issue, constantly turns off and on. Very poor product.
Difficult to set-up cable for rear camera not long enough. Constantly turns off and on.
I paid yo get I stalled so very expensive exercise.
Will be asking for money back from JB HiFi.
Purchased in April 2019 at JB Hi-Fi for $250.

Never buy a Kapture Webcam
What a piece of crap that Kapture make. All I read is how bad all their webcams are and mine is no exception. Already in the bin and will never buy another one again. Save your money and give this company a wide berth
Purchased at JB Hi-Fi.
Waste of money
Made the mistake of buying 3 for my business vehicles. Took forever to set up. After only 3yrs the windscreen mount on all 3 has fallen to pieces. Don’t ring the company for help to get replacement parts they no better than this product. Absolute rubbish.
Purchased in November 2016 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores.
Dashcam is garbage and so is there customer service
After spending half a day installing the dashcam neatly in my vehicle I turned it on and worked perfectly until I put an SD card in, and then it would continuously power on and off. Contacted them and after a couple emails suggesting what could be wrong and how to fix it nothing worked. As it was a gift I did not have a receipt to return it and they did not want to help replace their product. AVOID THIS COMPANY!

Faulty loop and loses timestamp
My wife bought this for me along with a highspeed 32g SD. The manual specifically states there is an option to loop record to the capacity of the SD (max32g). The setting process is straight forward. So user error is pretty unlikey. After a day of intermittent use the camera displayed a blue screen and shut down/stopped recording. The only option being to formatting/delete the content on the SD and restart the recording. A quick search revealed the same issue reported on productreview.com.au and possible workarounds suggesting the g-sensor coul...
Read mored be turned off or there may be a compatability with Sandisk SD cards. I also noticed the timestamp almost immediately began losing a few seconds of time each day, which would be problematic over time. There is clearly an issue with the device that needs to be resolved. JB hifi staff were great and processed the refund without issue. However, given this review and others I would suggest people choose another brand and that JB hifi might review whether it continues to stock a product with such bad product quality control.- 9 reviews

Blue Screen
We purchase our dash cam from JB HIfi. It is a good size and looks a quality camera BUT it kept saying card full (purchased with dash cam) and we would get a blue screen. Our son bought same dash cam, same time and had same problems. JB HIfi refunded our purchase without any problems and we purchased a navman, which wouldn’t even turn on, such a disappointment for a well know brand so we got our money back. I have since read where Sandisk SD cards can cause problems in dash cams but we purchased 32 high speed card with camera so we could do no more.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!!
I purchased this product yesterday from JB Hi Fi and was excited to finally have my first Dash Cam. Disappointed is an understatement. Anger is closer to the mark.
The camera was set up as per the manual and started up with no problems whatsoever. After driving out of the carpark it switched to a black screen. I had no idea whether it was recording or not. The manual was of no use as has no Troubleshooting section. After some research I found that it had gone into screensaver mode (which is useless, I want to see a screen to know if it was re...
It's rubbish
Has never worked. Wouldn't turn on and was a waste of my money. Don't buy this product.
Lost recipes which is my own fault but I would still expect the product to work as described.
It worked once the first time I installed it. And never worked since. Really annoyed. I'll never purchase from this company again.
Doesn't record it when you need it most
I installed this device ages ago and It seemed to be working fine. Would turn on when the car did like the manual says it will. Then I witnessed a car accident and I offered to show them my footage (it happened right in front of me and should have been recorded). When I looked back I only had footage from a few months back. One day it just stopped. So I re-read the manual and set it up again, this time I checked it every few days. I just checked the footage because a driver was being reckless and I wanted to check their plates and there was no ...
Read morefootage. I have footage from the same day, up to minutes before this happened. The camera had a solid blue light instead of the usual flashing blue (recording) light. I can see no mention of what the difference between flashing blue and solid blue means in the manual. Also, a general standard is red for record, blue for charge, so this was incredibly confusing for me. This camera wasn't particularly cheap but it was the only camera with a rear facing camera at JB at the time of purchase. I would not recommend this brand to anyone and I will definitely not be buying one again. It also takes up the only charging port which I needed for my phone, I had to buy a portable power pack (but that's a separate issue).Find out how Kapture KPT-722 compares to other Dash Cams

Update review, Parkmate very helpful
I had issues with my KPT 722's of which i purchased 2 I called parkmate finally got hold of the and they were very helpful in resolving my problem, initially gave 1 star and bagged them but they really have provided great customer service and I am very happy with them. I wouldn't recommend the KPT 722 due to issues i had with it but I would recommend Parkmate the company. Thank you for help resolve my issues
Absolutely Rubbish!!!! Too much money for a crap product!!!!
Switches on/off all the time. We have tried all the options in the menu but nothing works. The minute you think you've got it sorted, it switches off and nothing gets recorded. It switches on when you switch the car on but when I drive out of the driveway it will switch off, then 2 minutes later it back on and that keeps going while driving. The screen turns green and purple for no reason. I have emailed Parkmate with NO luck. Not helpful. Just emailed to say take it back to JB Hifi. Unfortunately I can't find the receipt so I'm stuck with th...
Read moree useless product. I phoned JB too and they too said no receipt no help. I bought the product for safety and to cover myself as I spend a lot of time on the road. I hope I can find another company that support their clients and sells a great product.One of the worst
One of the worst products I have had. It locks u out so u can't do anything u can't record after a long period of time. The camera ends up locking the sd card so u never really get anything from it besides a headache and a waste of money
Questions & Answers
Why doesn't my rear camera work please anyone. Cheers.
I am after a windscreen mount for my kpt722. It was left in our old car
I bought a KPT-722 from JB HiFi in 2018. It has just started making a high pitched beep every 2 seconds and the triple lights on either side of the lens come on as it beeps. I disconnected it but it kept on doing this for 20 minutes but now stopped, maybe the battery ran out? Any idea whats happened?
