It definitely looks OEM when installed. IMO most wouldn't even know it's there. It can't really be seen outside too. I was concerned that my E-ZPass reader would block the camera view but it didn't. The video quality is decent and good enough to read license plate up close. Also voice recording inside the car is good with this dash cam. The camera begins recording once you unlock the car. The camera continues to record with ignition turned off. When the car eventually powered off or locked with key, it recorded for an additional 8 minutes.
The app definitely needs work. Can't view video on your phone unless you turn off cellular data. Even after doing this playback didn't work. Not a huge deal as I won't be viewing video regularly. Like my past dash cam, I didn't look at images unless something happened. But it would be nice to just view on phone instead of removing sd card to view on laptop.
Overall I think it's worth as it gives a clean OEM look when installed.

Nice, thanks for the review. I am still tempted to get this one as it's so cheap and I agree, it fits right in and looks OEM.
Unrelated, I am surprised you put your EZ-pass right there in the middle of your windshield. Mine is all the way to the top of the windshield/headliner abutting the right edge of the mirror casing. The driver can't even see it. It works fine.
