The reviewer is 'very happy' with the Botslab G980H, praising its true 4-channel recording, quick-release mount, responsive touchscreen, and excellent mobile app. They highlight the 360-degree coverage as a significant advantage over older dual-camera systems, stating it 'changes everything'.
This video review covers the Botslab G980H 4-channel dash cam, detailing its features, installation process, and performance. The reviewer inventories the kit, demonstrates touchscreen controls, voice commands, and the mobile app, and most importantly, reviews the actual footage captured by the device.
The Botslab G980H 4-channel dashcam is a highly recommended solution for comprehensive vehicle surveillance, excelling in capturing events that traditional dual-camera systems miss. Its unique adjustable side cameras provide critical coverage for incidents occurring alongside the vehicle, demonstrated by the clear tracking of a passing silver car from behind to in front. The accompanying mobile app is exceptionally user-friendly, offering intuitive controls and advanced editing features like AR rendering and view combining. If you require complete, 360-degree recording coverage for enhanced safety and incident documentation, this dashcam is an excellent choice. However, if you primarily rely on direct camera interaction, you might find the mobile app a more convenient interface for settings management.
