Product description
Chip: Novatek 96223 (I am not sure how to test if it is an original chip or not, and I did not find any information about this specific model so it is a bit suspicious…).
I believe this dash camera is available in the market under different labels.

Pros
Excellent built quality: The body of the camera is made of zinc alloy, which makes it the bulkiest camera I reviewed so far.
Large, clear display: The display is large (3”), clear and informative. The best I reviewed so far.
Value for money: I was sure that this dash camera would be more expensive, yet in my opinion, it has an affordable price.
Cons
The buttons are a bit difficult to press.
The user manual is not informative enough: I was left with many questions such as details about the built-in battery, rewriting file recording and updating the firmware.
The windshield mount is not so stable: The connection between the windshield mount to the camera is moving easily. This is not a bad mount, it is just that I reviewed much better mounts and I wish this camera had a mount that makes a “click” when you want to adjust it.
No mini HDMI cable in the box: The camera had a mini HDMI slot, but a cable is not included in the package… annoying!
