Mr Tomtop has done well out of us today...

Cheers op, just ordered one :grin:

Thanks op
For that price, i ll vote hot, and ive just bought :smile:

Still debating whether I need to or not...

Bought two, code didn't work....but it's only money. Good deal anyway.

Ordered ...only £6....if its crap....who cares.

Thank you ordered. Thought it was necessary due to the crazy driving I witness on the way to work each day.

I also ordered one. Thought of buying a dash cam for a while now. At this price couldn't resist. Does anyone have a recommend memory card to get for this

That tends to happen with the old app - it's what you're using, right?

Ordered 3 for the family, thanks, heat added. Funny how the memory cards are going to cost significantly more than the actual cameras! Not that I'm complaining at this price :smile:

I posted some suggestions with links at the bottom of the original post.

Chinese seller on ebay selling unbranded 32GB micro SD cards for £4.08 each if you don't mind waiting (estimated delivery 10 Oct - 20 Nov):

ebay.co.uk/itm…9HP

Brilliant find, ordered at discounted price.

Will see how this works at the front and if good, will order another one for the rear.

Oh dear, those one night stands can go oh so wrong!
‌ :thumbsup:‌ :party:‌ :thumbsup:

heat, ordered 3, couple of stocking fillers plus one for me. had to place 3 seperate orders as the code only works on qty of 1 per order. thanks!

Ordered! Thanks

Ordered - Thanks op :smile:

Why does it go back to $14 when I come to pay?

"Supports TF Memory Card"
Please note, this actually means Micro-SD card.

I think a potato will be better than this. Tried the cheap ones myself.

Awesome price, but I can't make use of it because if my insurance company sees the way I drive, they won't like it. I drive a BMW, and drive it typically.
/s

Just ordered for £6.38. Code worked once registered with Tomtop and verified email. This will be an upgrade on an inferior dashcam in the family car as I already have this type in my 2nd car and it's very good! My only gripes are the buttons vibrate (easily solved with cellotape across the buttons) and the cam occasionally falls off the clamp (again, easily solved with a little tape or glue).

what did you buy for the front? am after one myself

Ordered. Thanks op

Ordered. Code worked for black one. Thanks, heat added

Just bought 2 off ebay. Best offer of £5 x 2 = £10 accepted and only charged 1 postage of £1.99 making them £6 each delivered in 2 days from UK with 2 years guarantee! Ebay item

Has this got a rear facing lens as well as a front? As it states in the specification -

"Front camera: 1200W
Back camera: 800W"

I didn't need one.....now I have two #hukd

Save your money. It may be cheap but it's poor quality as it's a copy. It's like that saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice or even thrice!

Micro

code doesn't work for me... tried "Tomtop" but saying "coupon does not exist"... Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong... :disappointed:

Is it obscure? I added the deal and how it works is that some people (not me personally) get coupon codes from the sellers so they can interest people in their website hoping they will return for more. Its the same way aliexpress banggood gearbest and other chinese sites started. Simple. Also you can pay with paypal if you dont want them to have your info

ordered, thanks OP.

Try ordering black colour. It gave me error with blue one.

I've tried it a dozen times with Black... but no luck. will keep trying.. :disappointed: Thanks :smile:

First time on here and i can't figure out what the "code" is????... I tried Tomtop.. but I must be thick.. Can anyone help? Where does one get the code??... Novice here!!.. :disappointed:‌ :disappointed:

Use code AK5471

OMG!!.. You're a STAR!!.. Thanks dazs!!.. It worked a treat!. :raised_hand:

Thanks OP. Saw this the other day and decided not to order. Had a horrible drive today (came across 5 idiots within an hour, had to slam the brakes on twice) so thought I'd order one. :smile:

btw, would a 4GB Micro SD card be enough do you think?

Just got one & with QuidCo also, great find, should have bought two ;O :grin:

Why have I bought 1.

:grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:

Thanks OP! Another stocking filler sorted!

All depends on the quality of its recording. Say it records at 10Mbps, then it'll record around 50mins on a 4Gb card.

Larger the Mbps value (or better the recording quality) = lower the recording time, & vice-versa.

Seller location says Hong-Kong. Don't be surprised if it's shipped from there even if it says the item is located in the UK. Common problem I've experienced over 2 decades on eBay.

dont worry you are not alone we are big family in here we all do this ,i bought one as well :raised_hand: but i dont know why ?

Going to use for rear. At least I'll now have a use for my the charger socket in my boot!

I don't even have a car and ordered one :joy:

9% Quidco Cashback

Does anyone know if this is any good? I bought a really cheap one before. It only records for a short amount of time before stopping, and even though it says 1080p etc, the quality of the recording isn't great.

ordered. why, why, why!
HUKD does it again

At this point, none of us have a freakin' clue (sorry!) - we're buying purely based on the low price :blush:

Any reviews or model number?

Just ordered one,Thanks for posting :sunglasses:

Those hud app. Links do not work they take me to hotukdeals website why?

It appears to be a generic (unbranded) camera to keep costs down. But as someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, it looks identical to this £20 'Lanka' one on Amazon: amazon.co.uk/gp/…9I/ - with over 1K reviews.

its 720p instead of 1080 so not the same but still a good find

Time to join me in a car hunt then :raised_hand:‌ hotukdeals.com/com…081

Ordered, thanks

you mean 32mb :wink:

You should post that up as a deal - never seen a cheap car! They generally cost a fortune up front or later on (or worst of all both)!

I'm sorry to say that is FAR from true - I made note the first time I used my clarity card (about a month ago)... $1.30, Paypal offer £1.05, but clarity came in at £1.01. Now admittedly there could have been a change in exchange rate, but that is near 4%.

Getting two of these
whats the best memory card to get

Its £31 for three

A good deal for 6.32. Nice find OP.

I already have a good quality dashcam in my car here in England. But, I bought this to use on holidays when I hire a car. Cant go wrong for that price.

Can this help lower premiums? My current insurer didn't have the option to say you have a dash cam, which I have seen on some insurers websites...

If the price hasn't changed, you'll need to make 3 separate orders for the best savings.

I posted some suggestions with links at the bottom of the original post.

I am going to wait for the reviews once everyone has received the cams and tested them out. The price without discount will be acceptable if everyone gives this good marks.

Please share your experience once you have tried this cam. I don't have a car Just yet but hoping to buy one soon.

ordered! great find!

Looks like that's might be a review of this exact camera: youtube.com/wat…o4w. Quality of the footage is quite poor. I guess for 6 quid is better than nothing...

Sorry, I dont mean this in the wrong way.

If you want something that could potentially help you in a crash surely you want something better than this.

I've tried these cheap ones and they either fail or dont loop record correctly and end up not recording at all which defeats the purpose.

Dont get me wrong, this is a great price but for peace of mind get something better.

I purchased a very similar one from amazon and ended up sending it back the same day, I've tried an apeman cam and a nextbase one, they are both great makes and the quality is so much better, granted they are more expensive, I would rather have something that works though.

Went for this one, they accepted my best offer of a fiver :smile:

Thank you. Heat added.

I'd recommend spending a few pounds more and getting a branded (and genuine) memory card at least. It's ok to get a very cheap dash cam but it would be disappointing to have an accident and then find out your memory card silently failed three weeks ago and there is nothing on it.

You don't need a large card at all - 8GB is fine because you only need to keep a few minutes recorded.

how do you add code on blue one??

Ordered mine and heat added. Thanks

you can't as far as I know

price say 10.99

How can you use this for 24 hour parking monitoring or motion based detection ?

As others have said, if you want something reliable, I wouldn't bother with one of these.

Here's a scenario. You have a dash cam for a few weeks, watching it closely and checking out footage of idiot drivers etc. Then after a few months you take it for granted, assuming each near miss would have been caught on cam. Then you have an accident and check the footage for said smash, only to find the camera hasn't been working (in spite of looking like it was) and hasn't even recorded the incident. This was my experience, luckily it only cost me a wing mirror (and tenner for the cam), before realising the error of my ways.

You might be lucky, and your cam is never faulty, but even the one in the you tube review kindly posted above by baltazar had a fault were it missed out seconds of driving footage - and that was brand new!

You will need to provide it with a power source (as it works off the car power when its running). A 20000 power bank would be more than enough to record hours if not days. As for motion detecting you will need to get a better camera for that as I do not know if this has it.

Use a £30 at the front and hoping this is adequate for rear.

As this item is coming from China Do I have to pay import tax (vat)

No, the goods have to be worth at least £15 before they will consider levying any tax.

Code is HPDVR6

Finally got the code to work!

registered, logged on, then added black one to basket (Not BUY NOW). Check Out, add code and Robert is your dads brother.

9% Quidco as well!

Ok, waaaay too cheap. I'll get one and test it out.

Ordered. Cheers bud

These are in tesco pertol stations for £24!

Heat given
ordered two

Have some heat. ordered 1 for the rear window (already got a dash cam for the front)

Ha ha. Good spot. Might get you to read through the next legal contract I need to sign... :thumbsup:

Dumb question but how do you attach this? I really want a dashcam for the wifes car.

Put 4 in the cart and cost £39 now?

You attach it to the windshield using the included suction cup mount & you also have to power it using the included charger, here is a pic of it from the store page.

kindly forward the Code.

No pro get it next time thanks

Brilliant deal and price. Heat added. Thanks OP

Tomtop emails are jamming my email system. Is anyone else experiencing problems with the emails?

Thankyou

Let's hope it's not Tom Tit

Look in the very 1st line of the op's original deal post - it's in bold.

Cheers, just purchased one too

How is this powered? The spec mentions a battery. Plug into a charger from the cigarette lighter?

£6.35 for me.Such a weak pound.
went with the black one and bought two.
Wouldn't reduce the blue one (For my blue car)

Thanks.Heat added.

I thought it was "Robert's your Mother's Brother" ?

How long capture does 32gb allow to have? Any ideas?

Well owrth a punt at this price, thanks for posting.

Just what I thought. Used the 300 points to get another 2.41 off, but the code didnt work. thanks OP

Won't accept the discount code?

All depends on the quality of its recording. Say it records at 10Mbps, then around 6.5 hours on a 32Gb card. If at 20Mbps, then around 3.25 hours.

Only works with the black one:

Sounds too good to be true....

Let's see.

Unlike the dashcam in the yt video, this one from Tomtop has the silver buttons on the side like the more impressive Lanka & GT300 versions.

Ordered thanks will check out the sd cards now

OK I'm something of a thicko...but it took me a LOT of time to get my 3 cameras ordered with discount.
I finally had success once I REGISTERED on TOMTOP! :smile: I chose 'ADD TO BASKET' and then 'View Cart and Check out. THEN you'll see 'Check out using PAYPAL' on the right hand side and you'll see the line (two above the PAYPAL bit) saying '+ Have a Promotion Code?'
Click on that and enter the code HPDVR6

This works BUT, as someone else said you only get the brilliant price £6-38, or so, if you log in and order ONE at a time.
Someone linked a good video too, showing how good these cameras are.
I'm mounting one on the front window, one in the back window and one on each side windows....you're right, I already have one...different model!
Seriously though, I've bought these for Xmas presents.....cheapskate!!!

Thank you to the original Spotter!

Yeah but, 'you can't go wrong at this price' apparently.....

NEW CODE - DVR6

Ordered one using code HPDVR6, left the cost in USD and let PayPal convert it when paying. Cost me £6.36, checked out with PayPal and didn't have to register on the site. Easy.

Ordered @ £6.38 without having to create an account! Heat! Cheaper than the price of a microSD card!

hows this work as a parking aid

I might remind you of that when my order doesn't arrive?

one will see soon one way or the other

Has it posted for anyone? Mine still says Order Processing and I ordered and paid for it on 17th September

Yes, mine still states 'Order Processing'. When are you going to post it TomTop??? :rage:

LoL, sorry should've used the word 'frequently' rather than 'oftenly'. :raised_hand:

Same here, ordered on 16th and still 'processing'

Nope, that really is the extent of the battery life. Yes, you do indeed plug it in anyway but if someone thinks they can leave it to run on the internal battery to capture any events whilst the car is switched off, forget it. It ain't happening!

Ordered mine on 17th, also still says order processing, ordered something else on 20th, that has been shipped. My guess, they are now awaiting stock from factory, probably hundreds ordered on 17th.

I'll wait up to Monday for it to be shipped or I'll talk to Live Chat. I wonder how good they Customer Service would be? :angry:

Probably similar to Gearbest, they haven't responded to me in 2 days :disappointed:

Same - Processing!

Anyone

I got a response from their Support

Dear customer，

Thank you for your order.
Sorry to tell you that, but there was something wrong with the product in transit before, so the supplier send us another batch of products. Would you like to wait for some days?Our product will arrive at the warehouse within 10 business days. We will arrange the shipment as soon as it arrives.
Waiting your reply sincerely.

Best regards

Utter Nonsense! :rage: Ah well the same Customer Service as GearBest, yeah sure I'll wait for 10 days then another 10 days! At least Gearbest ships your item at time!

I doubt we will get these before xmas.

Code doesnt work.

Yes it does, just tried it.

ok then...it does not work for me after creating new account.

Not received my order, no record of any orders in my Tomtop account, money taken from my pay pal account.
matter now with pay pal.

Mine is in my orders but still says processing since the 16th. I messaged them but got no reply. Last time I buy from this lot

Just checked my order and I can see that the order was cancelled - but a 2nd new order has been added.
I only ordered 1 so it looks like there has been some uncertainty about supplying this.

Anyone pay by paypal and therefore not able to check their order?
I effectively haven't created an account as the paypal option simply took me direct to payment and no account was created so can't login to check.

Same here. This could be my first and last time ordering with this company. Just as a reference I sometimes get stuff from Banggood in the time this one has been processing.

Not good Mr Toptop.. :rage:

Xmas 2018 probably... :rage:

To top it off, I've just received a similar reply from Gearbest about another Dash Cam I ordered in August and got a dispatch email on the 1st. I give up - no more buying from China!

I sympathise with you however I'll always give a company one chance to redeem themselves then that's it.
I currently deal with at least 10 large chinese based companies. I place orders weekly and there are occasional issues such as out of stock, quality control and DOA problems. It's how efficiently they deal with the issues depends on whether I continue to use them. Companies that have live chat, 24hrs response time and good customer relations are always a bonus.
I currently have a few favourites that fulfil these requirements.

I emailed TomTop a few days ago asking when my item will be dispatched.
Had reply today saying it will be Shipped in 1/2 Working Days.

So my response today was as follows;

Thanks for shopping.
We are sincerely sorry to inform you because there was something wrong with the product of our supplier before, so you may not receive your order right on time as we original planned. Would you like to wait for some days? Our product will arrive at the warehouse within 10 business days. We will then arrange the shipment as soon as possible. And if you do not want to keep waiting, we can cancel your order and refund your money right away.
Looking forward to your reply and hope your kindly understanding.
Thanks for your supporting.

Has anyone got one dispatched yet?
I'm getting a bit concerned 10 days and still processing my order.
my.tomtop.com/che…ory

aside from my order still processing, it seems like the product has only 4 reviews now but had alot when i initially placed the order (16th sept)

Same here but just created an account with the same email I ordered with and the order was there but it's processing

I'd forgotten about this, mine also still says processing and I have two orders in my account, a second order for the camera at either a higher or full price that's been cancelled.

Hmmm, not working for me. Tried that originally but having seen your kind reply I gave it another shot but it's still not working.

At what point can you get refund via PayPal? I doubt this will ever be shipped tbh.

I received an email off these this morning

Thank you for shopping on TOMTOP.com.
We are glad to inform you that the goods you ordered have been shipped out. It is on the way to your address!

Great yep me as well.

I've had no emails from them at all even though i've sent their support team 2! Mine is still stuck on processing...and I cant even cancel the order. Now I know why they have such a bad name.

There's no set date mentioned anywhere in PayPal (PP) T&Cs or FAQs regarding this.

If you cannot wait indefinitely, I'd give them 7-14 days to ship before contacting PayPal to step in & refund you.

This is from the PP US site (but probably as a guideline only): How long does the seller have to ship my item?

Still processing, can't cancel either. I want the Xiamoi Dash Cam rather than this now!

anyone recieved theirs yet?

No one has by the looks of it. :disappointed:

I've asked them to cancel my order, they are just playing everyone.

Mines also still being processed :thinking:

Unfortunately the specification has been altered and the pictures removed since these orders were placed. I think an inferior item is being substituted.

e.g. HDMI output has been removed from the original description and the wide angle lens is gone.

Your correct if and when it arrives (on its way as of 27/9/17) if it does not match my order and PayPal payment ( which it no longer does i will file a claim for refund for as supplied an inferior product)

The pictures are back up now, but they are different from what I remember. Previously they were the same as the GT300 with HDMI socket (also then specified in the text - but now missing) . The buttons are now different also.

My order was originally cancelled and then replaced, without telling me. I think they may have re-ordered a cheaper inferior substitute. Whether we get what was described when we ordered or what is offered now is unclear - but the fiddling around with my order suggests we are not getting the original.

They are not cancelling my order despite me asking several times. I keep getting the same emails back!


They have also done to me what they've done to others and changed the order to an inferior model!

They did a similar thing with a fidget spinner that I ordered from them.
I ordered one with different coloured bearing but when I received it the bearings were all black.
When I checked the picture of what I had ordered they had changed the original picture from the coloured to the black ones. When I asked them about it they said they can't see the problem as what I received, going by the reference number, is the same as their picture.
So I think they will send out an inferior model.

What appears to be the same thing at a similar price is on sale at Gearbest, butt when you look more closely you can see they are actually now quite different (though originally they were the same).

Has anyone received their item yet? Just wondered how long it takes as although in "my orders" it's clearly there and says "Processing", when I try and track on the same website and put my order number details in etc, it says no record lol

I had a feeling these wouldn't been 170 degrees anyway going from other reviews of identical cameras. Still though rather cheeky of them to do this but if you've paid by PayPal you shouldn't have any issues when it comes to forcing a refund. First and last time I'll be using TomTop.

Nobody has got theirs by the looks of things. Some Chinese fella is laughing all the way to the bank with us bargain brits trying to save a few bob. I'm off to contact PayPal as this is the worst deal ever :thinking:

Cheers Stevie, I'll give it another week, not in any rush for it just wanted to test the water see if I was alone.... if not I'll contact them and see what they say then contact PP for a refund :grin:

Time to remove Tomtop deals from this site as others like us are going to suffer.

E mailed them every day for a week. No response. Went to PayPal to request money back. Got it within 1 hour but what do those do who didn't use PayPal? Just a scam!!!!!(devil)

They eventually cancelled my order this morning but took a lot of emails.

How did you get Paypal to refund so quickly? When I log in it only gives me the option to resolve with the seller through Paypal. Not deal with Paypal directly.

Yes, that's fine. Do the make contact with the seller option and select request refund and include a message. Also go via the resolution centre on PayPal which from memory is two separate areas. Either way, making contact via e mail to request money back was how I got it. Paypal message saying seller had issued refund.

I selected resolution, now I have to wait till 19th October for seller to respond.

Are you sure that 19/Oct is not the last date you can escalate? I have done the same as you and PayPal state:

The deadline to either mark this case as resolved or escalate it for our attention is 19 October 2017. You must mark the case as resolved if you reach an agreement with the seller or escalate the case to a claim if you cannot resolve it. If you take no action by 19 October 2017, this case will close automatically. Once a case has been closed, it cannot be reopened or escalated to a PayPal claim.

So I will escalate in a couple of days presuming I do not receive the item in that time.

I think his right didn't read it properly.

Decided to go to paypal given some of the posts, been a member for years and years and never had to open a complaint.
Got an email pretty much straight away from TomTop. Like others, they seem to respond when paypal is involved.
I got the standard issue answer too apologising for the delay and....
"we will ship the item out within 3 days"
...asking me twice to close the case.
Yeah right.

Dear customer,
I am really sorry for that.
When we are going to ship the item found that you have opened a dispute.
If you would like wait for the item please close the dispute.
We will process your order within 1-2 days.
if you would not like to wait, we would refund you.

So this is just a scam?

I held out a little longer before trying to cancel and got a dispatch email this morning so hopefully they are now in the process of sending them out

Thank you for shopping on TOMTOP.com.
We are glad to inform you that the goods you ordered have been shipped out. It is on the way to your address!

When I click the tracking link with the number for tracking in my email it states there is no tracking item for this tracking number. Yet the email states the item is on its way, hmmmmm.

Same...

Thank you for shopping on TOMTOP.com.
We are glad to inform you that the goods you ordered have been shipped out. It is on the way to your address!

Not a scam, I also received 'item shipped' email this morning, you impatient lot !

Whether the camera is any good or not is another matter, we shall see

By the way, I've advised Tom to send all you dispute openers cameras made on a friday afternoon, 20 minutes before knocking off time :imp:

Thank you for shopping on TOMTOP.com.
We are glad to inform you that the goods you ordered have been shipped out. It is on the way to your address!

‌ :grin:

So after I've raised a dispute I have now received a email that the order has been dispatched and a tracking number.

Order date: 2017-09-16 Item Information:

Product name SKU QTY 2.4 Inch 1080P Full HD 140 Degree Wide Angle Car DVR with Night Vision

This is my dispatch email that I have had off them, as you can see they have changed the spec to 140 Degree wide angle lens, when it was originally 170 Degree when it was ordered.

Mine is still on 'processing' :stuck_out_tongue:

Mine has today been marked as despatched (but 140 degrees rather than 170 degrees) - bit of a poor show waiting 2 weeks until sending an item. I buy a lot from Aliexpress sellers / Banggood / Buyincoins and haven't had this issue with any of them.

they've changed the item in our order history to an inferior camera, without asking or giving us the option to cancel instead

they have taken 2 weeks to ship out this inferior model camera, it was always going to be kinda crap for the price but now it'll be even worse

personally I'm opening a PayPal dispute anyway before it arrives (doubt it ever will)

scam is the perfect word to describe this, first and last time using tomtop and I'll be directing people to this thread in future tomtop deals

they should be banned from hukd

mine was shipped yesterday but i cant trust a company who would change the item after placing the order. mine ask paypal for refund.

mine is still processes. Almost forgot about this order

Same here - changed description in order - paypal dispute rasied.
2nd order wit TomTop not honoured (my XIAOMI Mouse was apparently returned by customs) and 2nd paypal dispute to get refunded.
Wont be long before Paypal withdraw thier right to accept payments methiks...

Mine is still processing. Decided to raise a dispute through paypal as they also changed the spec on my original order.

I ordered two of these on the 20th and the 21st of sept. in the original e-mail from paypal it says its a 140 angle lens, not 170 as some claim.. Not sure what the original ad was at first..
Anyway, after a good week 7-8 days I sent them an email asking why it still was being processed, and the next day I got this e-mail.

Dear customer, Thank you for your order. Sorry to tell you that, but there was something wrong with the product in transit before, so the supplier send us another batch of products. Would you like to wait for some days?Our product will arrive at the warehouse within 10 business days. We will arrange the shipment as soon as it arrives. And sorry again for this inconvenience.
Best regards Ezreal

So I'll wait another week to see what happens before contacting paypal...

My paypal states 170°. See screenshot

How can you check your order status if you did not set up an account and paid through PayPal?

I am on the same situation, payed via PayPal without making an account with TomTop. Can't seem to track my order status,

This gets worse.

I also paid by paypal where it correctly shows the GT300 spec of "2.4 Inch 1080P 170 Degree " that was ordered. However checking my order record on Toptop I can see that the order detail I screen-printed at the time ( 2.4 Inch 1080P 170 Degree Wide Angle) has now been changed to match the current inferior version that they are advertising.

I.e. they have revisited and changed the order description to a different item after the payment.

no item received and my order history has been edited without my consent

PayPal dispute opened an hour ago

have also opened dispute with paypal not happy with inferior goods normally when companies are unable to supply a refund would be issued or better quality goods would be offered

when they ship they offer tracking at the bottom of invoice and you need to translate back in to english unless you can read chinese

Shows being dispatched today, haven't contact PayPal yet...they have changed it to 140°, I will ask for a refund if its total c***.

I emailed them and raised a paypal dispute - 2 days later they still shipped (or said they did) the inferior model.
Its only 6 quid but at the end of the day they are a terrible merchant and need pulled from HUKD...

What's 30° between friends ?

At sick squid these won't be much good anyway, no matter how many degrees


And, you never know, the one with the narrower lens might have a better pickcher

I ordered two of these 170 models, got sent two 140 ones which arrived today. From my very basic test of pointing it at a ruler and measuring distances with some trig, it looks like the actual viewable angle is more like 37 degrees. Obviously terrible and completely useless as a dash cam. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings but I've been through all the menus and there's no setting I can see to widen the view. Very disappointed.

Mine has been delivered. Looks okay. Same build is selling for 40£ in Argos or so. I'll order a micro SD card and see how it goes.


Thanks for the heads up.

Well they changed the description from 170 to 140 degrees but added this line underneath

"High Resolution Definition Video Car Vehicle with 32GB TF Card Digital Camcorder"

So it looks like your going to get 32GB card with any 140 camera's if you don't then moan at them!

Cancelled the order got refund via paypal. When something sounds too good to be true, usually is.

Unfortunately it also states : 1 * Car DVR (TF card not included)

given Tomtop service to date, I doubt anyone is getting a 32GB TF card!

None came with mine! Oh well. Seems to sort of basically work except the very narrow FOV means you don't get a very good view recorded, plus the screen seems to stay on all the time rather than doing auto-off no matter what you set in the menu, which is a bit distracting. I'll have to stick a bit of card over it or something.

Mine turned up yesterday, the charger fell to bits on unboxing it, i have a mini usb-usb with which to test, so i know it works, but not a good start.

Finally got the paypal refund. This company is a sham and is now deleted. They couldn't even get my first order right. Goodbye Tomtop yourself... :rage:

I held this camera next to a M10+, and the FOV is a joke :smile: The M10+ has a fish eye view and is actually 170 degrees, whereas this cam is more like 45 degrees, and it seems to zoom in by default, which makes things worse. Cheap enough to leave in the car, but probably useless unless the other party hits my car head on.

Not a scam as such by 2 weeks before they even think about dispatching. Joke really :raised_hand:

They have sent me a message:

"your order was processing before because it was out of stock,now it restock . we can ship it asap.but your dispute on paypal ban us to do so"

Surely this is not correct?

get a refund, I've just had an email off them full of Chinese writing..

Yeah mate! Total disgrace of a company. I have escalated my claim to PayPal for them to sort it for me. Won't be buying from them again.

From memory, dash cam screens need to go blank, otherwise you can be accused of watching the screen whilst driving, which is an offense. Mine doesnt work properly and the image is crap

Good point. Was thinking of taping a piece of black card over the screen but not sure how well that'd stand up in court!

I rescued the poor FOV situation slightly by supergluing an old unused tiny fishangle lens (from one of those "phone lens kits") to the front of the camera. Gives it a more decent FOV.

Anyone fancy going to the trouble of uploading some test footage to YouTube to show those still waiting for theirs whats in store for them?

NOT expired. Just payed 6 57 thru paypal:). Thanks op. Any good deals for 2 micros cards? One for this and one for my note 4.. ( 32gb each at least )..Thank you OP!!!

To be honest i agree. I know this was all about getting a great bargain , but i feel is it worth the headache of complaining or disputing as long as you feel reasonable happy with the end product versus cost.

cancelled my order easily enough

PayPal have refunded my money. 1st and last time I will buy anything from tomtop.

Urf.. thanks for spotting this guys...
They have tried to diddle me too, ordered 170 degree (in purchase email), sent 140 degree without mentioning, asking if I still want it, nowt.

I opened a case with Paypal on Friday, and sent a mail via their resolution center to TomTop. How long should I wait before escalating to Paypal ?

Anybody got this yet? Mine still saying processing?

Hi all - has anyone received thur dash cams?

I tried to contact them three times regarding a knackered battery I received in a pack of three drone batteries.
When they didn't reply I went through PayPal and Tomtop have asked for a photo and video of the knackered battery.
I don't really understand how that would help.
Once I've received these two dashcams and sorted that out I won't order from them again.

have received my order today and it appears to be 170 degree camera as originally ordered rather than the 140 degree camera on delivery note according to instruction paper work inside box

mine got shipped 30th

tracking number does not work

I ordered the day this offer went Live and it arrived today.

Mine arrived today.
The only difference between this one and the one offered on Groupon for £17 seems to be an extra menu button?
My only worry/question so far: will I need to have it plugged in and switched on for the motion detection recording to work?

I've had enough of waiting and no response from seller so have raised a PayPal dispute :rage:
