There seems to be a fair bit of concern in the reviews on the quality of the camera and the ability to get ones money back or a repair organised.
Not sure if "made in China" and Amazon are a very good fit for customer satisfaction.
Practically every dash cam I looked into was made in China. Very few are made in Korea, and none made anywhere else! I would of course prefer those made outside China (the EU, USA, Japan etc.) for reliability.
Chinese-made technology in engineering or electronics seems to be below par when compared with these other countries and build quality of their products remain questionable.
The mini DVR 0801 I was talking about was the "best fit" to my requirements; but I will hang on a little longer and see whether another manufacturer (outside China) has produced a more reliable alternative.

If not, then I might plump for the 0801 - it's cheap and cheerful, and not that expensive...
Despite all said and done, I still like its compact and discreet design ...!
PS: Read all the comments and reviews on the Amazon site regarding this device, and it's a mixed bag! While some would swear
by it, others swear
at it!
