Advantages |
A professional Xblitz P500 dash cam recording Full HD images replaces the excellent P100. The dash cam works exceptionally well both during the day and at night. Even in low lighting conditions that image is clear and sharp. The set, apart from a main unit and a car charger with cable includes three different mounts in an exclusive packaging. |
Disadvantages |
However, the device has several shortcomings. Despite the quality of the image being much better than lower-priced devices, it is still lower than offered by P100 despite using the same image sensor. The recorded video is less sharp and slightly blurry compared to the previous model. Also, the sound quality is disappointing due to a very low volume. The connection between the camera and the mount is convenient and well-designed. However, the same cannot be said about the mount attachment to the windshield which requires use of double-sided self-adhesive tape. The mount without the air ioniser (more compact) allows vertical dash cam adjustment only. If the mount is attached incorrectly, the horizontal adjustment is virtually impossible. Also, if the dash cam is moved to another vehicle, the self-adhesive tape has to be replaced by the user. A spare piece of self-adhesive tape is not provided, which considering the price is a serious oversight by the manufacturer. Compact size of the dash cam and minimalistic housing mean a small 1.5” display that may deter prospective users. The dash cam also lacks direct PC connectivity for downloading recorded videos. The videos can be downloaded directly from the memory card. The camera supports memory cards up to 32GB only. Unfortunately, the price may also be a deterrent. |
