Falcon Zero F170 Review

I want to post some of the stuff that this little dash cam has according to their Amazon website.

  • Auto Record
  • GPS Tracking
  • G - Sensor
  • TrueHD 1080p
  • Loop Recording
  • Motion Sensor
  • Parking Security
  • Night Vision
  • Wide Angle Lens
  • Ultra HD Photo
  • Wide Dimension Range (WDR)
  • 2.7 in LCD
  • Plate Log
  • SD Card (Included)
  • HDMI 1.3 Output
I could not wait to test this out! This dash cam is cute, compact, and it works. I haven't been able to get it to start when the engine starts, but the fact that this has loop recording makes it ok for me to just let it run. It does turn on when it is plugged in, so all I have to do is plug in the charger to my car, which I use almost every time we go out because my phone is either in need of a charge or I'm wanting to prevent it from needing a charge while I'm out and about. I do want to say that I was using a different power adapter than what came in the box, I have one that has 4 USB slots versus the two slots that this came with. This could be why it does not automatically turn on while driving.

The photos that I am showing you are all completely unedited, I just snapped the picture after getting it into focus. The first photo shows all the pieces that come with it, all the cords, the SD card, the actual dash cam, the mounts, and the GPS.


The second photo is a close-up of the lens for the dash cam. You can see how sleek and shiny it is, it looks quite well made. The feel of it in my hand is also substantial, I was not expecting it to weigh as much as it did.


The third photo shows off the bottom of the dash cam, where the MIC is located, as well as where you put the SD card and if you were to plug in a HDMI cord. You can also see the quality check sticker as well as another sticker with the year.


The fourth photo shows the power port, as well as the hole that you put the mount in. On the right is where you plug the GPS into.



The fifth photo shows the 2.7" LCD screen. I kept the protective cover on the screen, which is why you see the bubbles. The buttons on the left are the "Mode," "Ok," and "Menu" buttons. On the right the buttons are an up arrow, the power button, and the down arrow.


The sixth photo shows the dash cam off and where it is located on my windshield.


The seventh photo shows the dash cam in action (finally woot woot!). The screen is pretty clear even with the protective cover still on it. And I still had the protective cover on the lens when I took this picture, the dash cam still appeared really clear to me.


This camera does work really well, and I feel very safe while using this. I had been in a hit and run while I was pregnant, and before that I had thought dash cams were not a necessity, that they were actually silly. I was more worried about protecting my twins (which I had just found out I was carrying twins, literally the day before) to focus long enough to get the license plate number. Don't be put in a situation like I was, this is definitely an item that is a "better safe than sorry" item. Now, I'm no longer carrying them in my belly, but almost every car trip I'm in, they're in the back seat. I need that extra protection, not only for me, but for them.

You can check out this amazing dash cam on Amazon HERE.
