Uniden iGO CAM 80 Questions & Answers

It's because it's a piece of junk. It loses its GPS signal for long periods of time. Mine randomly doesn't work all morning. Then I park the car, come back and suddenly it's working. Or vice versa. Sometimes working then not working. There's no rhyme nor reason. It's truly the worst dashcam ever sold.

Well I spoke to Uniden tech support for an hour and they couldn't fix mine, so no. The thing is rubbish in my opinion. Mine keeps switching off after every 30 seconds of recording. I have worked out it's related to when it has no GPS signal and is not recording any speed. It randomly comes back to life and works properly whenever it feels like it. There's nothing I can do to make that happen.

This product is a waste of money even after getting support from uniden with my issues. The camera still continually says overspeed limit, etc. i have now bought blackvue product. And its brilliant.

Return it, mine never worked from the start and their "support" was basically useless.

Sorry can’t help, mine never worked so I returned it for a different brand.

Does the owners manual have specific instructions on how to switch on the reverse camera?

Alternatively, you could take it back to the auto electrician and get them to sort it, given they did the installation.

Sorry no idea, I only bought the forward facing one and returned it as it never worked from the start.

For it to have reversing camera an R has to be on the box

I wouldn't worry about it, if you need a new cable etc (like I did after changing cars) they want top $$, there are other brands that look after their customers a lot better out there

There may be, I’m unaware of any at the moment. I have an adjustable phone cradle with suction cup that might be just the right size in my 4wd. It was purchased off eBay for $12. Are you experiencing issues with the mount that came with your iGo?

I got it refunded the next day, thanks

Ive found mine sometimes takes a while to pick up the satellites. Not the fastest unit around to pick them up, and its disappointing.

Hi Keithy, Thank you for the reply. Mine is not picking up at all. No speed or GPS, even after running around for over 1 hour or so. Worst Dash Cam I have ever owned, and will never recommend Uniden to anyone. What is even worst, downloaded the Dash Cam viewer from Uniden own site, and the program has virus in it. Really have to wonder about the over priced piece of crap they are selling and lack of support they offer.

Hi Nev, as far as I can see, there is no way of turning off GPS in the settings, so I am assuming that you have a faulty camera. I have two of them and have found them to be very reliable. Try swapping it at your place of purchase. As far as quality veiwers go I use VLC and find it very good. It is also free. Sorry to hear that you have had issues, I have had serveral different brands of dashcams and have found this the best value for money.

Hi Annete,

Please make sure the motion detection feature is turned off.

This may be the reason the unit is recording in 30 seconds to 1 minute files.

Should you have any further issues please email custservice@uniden.com.au

Thank you

I have problem with my iGO 80, I set the motion detection on and park mode on, I also set it to 4K resolution and it stops recording after 24s and it has a big gap at least 30s and starts to record again for only 20s, I set the loop record as 10mins, I don’t know what to do, it is so frustrated

Hi Brian, Can you please confirm if you have charged the unit up initially? (Unit needs to be switched off whilst charging for the dash cam to retain the full charge). Also, can you check if you have the Car Park Mode switched on?

If it is, you can switch this off and test the unit again.

G’day mate,

I also noticed with mine that it needs a good connection to the ciggy socket. If I hit a bump hard enough mine will occasionally turn off due to the movement of the plug.

Cheers Keithy

You can either format the card or you can set it to loop and over wright older files. These are found in the settings menu

As Dooli says, you can set it to loop record which will overwrite record from the beginning of the card again.

Be good if there was something in manual telling what all symbols represent. Can assume what some are, though prefer to know for sure. Anyone got any ideas please?
