REDTIGER Dash Cam F7N PLUS

Installée directement aux fusibles de la voiture les deux caméras sont fonctionnelles. Je n’ai pas encore testé le mode parking 🅿️ Je regrette juste de ne pas pouvoir bloquer l’écran sur une vue en particulier. Pour le reste, au départ il faut faire qq réglages mais après elles font bien le taff.
Un spécial bravo au service client qui est très réactif et répond volontiers aux différentes questions. Merci beaucoup.
Elles sont top vous pouvez les prendre sans hésitation pour le rapport qualité prix !

This is a great camera . I read a ton of reviews on Amazon and other places and selected this one due to price , options, and good reviews . My main reason for liking this camera is the small footprint on the dash. I did not want a large camera . I felt like I did not require a screen where I could monitor everything in the car . If I had a problem I would pull the video on my computer . I did end up buying the 256 card because I do record in the highest resolution . I installed this device on a BMW Z4 2005. I did the installation myself and everything works perfectly . I can say it took me approx 4-5 hours to get everything wired . I did get the hardwire kit and wired to the fuse box because I wanted less wires seen and I wanted to use g force option . There are really great utub videos that describe the options and installation well . I did end up having to buy fuse taps in my case for the hardwire installation . I got the fuse taps for 8.99 on Amazon that arrived in one day. I did call the customer service line to get the hardwire kit and they sent it to me for free . The directions in the box did say to call them to get the kit for free . I think they know not everyone uses this option so they do not include it in the box when u buy it. The customer service people are fantastic. They talk to you so nice and continue to thank u for your business . Wow , what great service ! I had no problems downloading the app to my phone . It worked great. U can control many or most functions on the camera right from the app. I also downloaded the video software to my apple computer . I did not have any issues with using the video software that others have mentioned . I was actually surprised how good the night vision is in the camera . I am using the voice recorder as well . You can hear everything going on in the car . If u worry about being pulled over and having issues , this camera catches everything . I would recommend this camera to anyone . In fact , I plan on buying a second one to install in my BMW 335I M. I did attached video . U may notice the rear camera in my pictures is not permanently affixed just yet . I was testing the camera while driving to get the perfect angles . I used black masking tap to hold it in place temporarily. Now I have the proper angles I will remove the tape on back of the camera to install permanently. I hope this help anyone planning to buy the camera .

Purchased this for my wife’s RAV4. I like having both the front and rear cameras and love how compact they are; they are fairly unobtrusive in both locations. The front camera is mostly behind the rear-view mirror (the camera is small enough to easily fit entirely behind the mirror, but the car’s OEM black box against the windshield is already occupying the ideal real estate). The rear camera is tucked up at the top of the rear window (just at the top of the rear wiper sweep area) and is barely noticeable. I liked that I could rotate the rear camera in its holder to the view angle I wanted. The cable length on the rear camera was more than sufficient to reach front-to-back in this car (and easily tucked away behind the headliner and other trim pieces), but I’m not sure if it would be enough for a full-size SUV like an Excursion. It does have an inline connector near the rear camera which was convenient when installing the rear camera and running the wire and may allow for an extension to be used.

The video quality looks great. I set my front resolution down to 1080p since I feel that will be sufficient for our day-to-day needs. In my opinion, the quality of the footage will be impacted more by how clean the glass is and the weather conditions outside than the quality of the cameras.

I like that I can set whether and how long the screen is visible when the dashcam is on. Most of the time, I prefer to have the displays screen off. It takes some clicking to get through all of the menus, but I found the UI intuitive and easy enough to use.

The included lighter adaptor worked fine, but I got the hardwire kit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WCTZ3Y8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) to run permanently and to enable Parking Mode (see note below).

I also got the 3M Mount (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SFY13TZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) so I could mount the camera a bit higher behind the rear-view mirror. I’ll use the suction mount and lighter adaptor when using the dashcam on trips in a rental car.

You’ll want to get a larger (e.g. 256 GB) High Endurance U3 SD card (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P4HBRMV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) as the included SD card is only U1.

NOTE on the hardwire kit and Parking Mode: I connected the wires as instructed (yellow->BATT, red->ACC, black->GRD) but did not see the behavior I was expecting from the dashcam: the dashcam immediately turned on even though the ACC power was off, and I could not turn on Parking Mode. This led me to believe that the documentation was wrong, so I reversed the red and yellow wires which resulted in the dashcam not turning on until ACC power was on and allowing me to set Parking Mode (or so I thought), so I felt that I had figured it out. However, I then realized that the dashcam would not stay on – it never recorded any footage while the car was on (or off). Gratefully, I found a Q&A response from “Elizabeth B” back on 10/7/2021 which explained how to properly set up Parking Mode (which doesn’t appear to be documented anywhere with either product):

1. Connect wires as described above (Yellow = constant 12v, Red = switched 12v, Black = ground).
2. Turn on acc power (but do not start engine).
3. Press menu button and select “Parking”.
4. While blue message box is shown on the F7N display, turn off acc power (this has to be timed well). You should see a new blue message box and the F7N unit will power off.
5. Turn acc power back on (but do not start engine).
6. Press menu button and select “Parking”.
7. You will now see the menu options for Parking Mode and be able to configure it how you like.

(Attention REDTIGER: You should include these steps in your documentation and compensate Elizabeth.)

After reverting my wire connections back to match the documentation and following the steps above, my hardwired dashcam is now functioning perfectly – including Parking Mode.

Even though my installation and set-up experience with the hardwire kit wasn’t ideal, I do have to say that the REDTIGER customer service was outstanding! They were responsive, proactive, and empowered to do the right things for their customers. Thank you Nora!

As for the apps, the Android app seems to work sufficiently well. It does take a LONG time to download the video files over the dashcam’s wi-fi. I prefer to remove the SD card and copy the files directly to my PC.

I’m not very impressed with the PC app (Windows 10) yet. I tried it only once, but it seemed to have a hard time after viewing the first video, and even that wasn’t great. It’s intended to show both front & rear video simultaneously, which I think is great, but I haven’t been able to get it work very well. I’ll try again and see if I can get it run better. I was surprised to discover that the rear camera records audio, so it doesn’t sound great when both front and rear audio are played at the same time. I muted the rear audio and used just the front audio.

The video files run just fine on third-part video players.

Bottom line: I love the dashcam and rear camera; easy to use; good video; absolutely fabulous customer service.

I usually do not leave review for products but this one is a must for me as I am very happy with the purchase
I installed the camera using a video and catalogue to the fuse box and ran the cables very easily.
I then turned it on and read the catalog to learn the camera , it is very easy to learn and to operate. The camera lens is very wide and cover almost both side of the road and also the night vision is great like visualising in natural daylight even in semi or dark roads it is possible to read front car plate and visualise the road for safety. I realised when I get very close to the front car , the camera read the car plate number with a sufficient distance and cover the front car nicely and entirely . I ran two cables , the other one is for charger and when attaching this it is possible to get WIFI connected and see the current or previous footage on the app, when disconnecting this cable and adding the other cable which is connected to fuse box this function will not work instead it makes the camera in another mode which possible to take snap shot and log the current video, in this case the footage still get into the app and nothing is lost.
I have not used other features yet and I will update if I find more about this camera. I still have not attached the back camera but installation will not be difficult so possibly come back and update it in here my findings. Update,, I added the rear camera , the cable is long enough for a seven seater car. I could attach the camera to rear window topside most towards left side of the window . It is almost 5 to 10 cm short for this car but has nothing to do with wide angle lens that cover almost all width of the road and the crystal clear of the lens is almost 98% of the quality of front camera .Update 11/06/2023
Once one of you asked me does this camera record speed on the video , I should say YES and sorry for not being helpful on that occasion but this camera shows speed on the video and also on the setting the speed could be turned ON or OFF
