Dash Cam for Mexico & USA

After getting a fake, counterfeit or what ever you want to call it a

GS1000from this vendor and writing a bad review my money was refunded and they admitted that it was their fault.

I went looking for another one using DASHCAM TALK and found one that was not only fairly cheap and worked well, and was better than the DVR-007,that is the G1W From estore009 Delivery was fast, about 6 days.

It has a large 2.7 in wide, easy to read screen and is easy to work. The Videos are of good quality, you can read street signs and license plates and the night vision is very good. My videos look better than those seen in the review. using a 16 GB micro sd card.

Here's a funny scam caught on dashcam where a woman tried to fake being hit by a car. The bad for her at least? The driver had a dashcam which recorded her poor acting skills. Worse? The driver is also a police officer. Click above graphic for story.

gee, my "fake" dashcam probably is good enough to show that.

There are so many scammers out there. One popular scam is called Swoop & Squat.

And the Dash Cam is rather effective in getting the swoop & squatters swooped up and squatting... In a small metal room with a well locked door and they do not get the key for like 5-10 years.

The site warns of poor quality copies and deceptive sales practices. A member posts that they did indeed get a poor quality copy when it was advertised as the genuine article. That sounds like reality to me.

that sounds like false advertising to me, assuming the poster of that member was correct when stating that it was advertised as the genuine article. or was the poster expecting a $279 unit when he paid $17.98?

when I paid $17.98 or whatever it was for my dash camera, I was not expecting a top of the line and it certainly was not advertised as such.

s. If these are not fakes then what exactly is a fake?

various mail order firms sell "fake" security cameras. these are plastic boxes that have the appearance of a camera and have a battery in them with a blinking red LED on the side. that is MY definition of a fake.
but to generalize the word fake when you are really referring to a cheap copy, is totally incorrect IMHO.
why is a camera that actually works as advertised, but is of low quality a "fake"? why does a camera need a specific processor? or whatever to not be a fake?
does this "fake" camera referenced actually work, albeit poorly? is it just sub standard, counterfeit, or what? more specificity would make the post and description more meaningful.

Are there better ways to phrase it? Of course. Do they get their point across? I think they do. You seem to be pedantically picking apart word usage and missing the bigger picture, when the intended meaning seems reasonably clear.

bumpy: You fail to understand the world of Chinese copies of other Chinese merchandise. The outer cases will be exactly the same. The part # of the unit will either be the same or slightly different. The guts of the product will have some similar components but the core items will not be the same. You will get a cheap Chinese lens and a cheap processor. If this were a consumer item sold in retail stores the product would not get through customs. If these are not fakes then what exactly is a fake?

I agree fake is probably not the ideal word, but it's the word used on the review site.
yes, fake is not an ideal word to describe this, regardless of what a review site used.

"Counterfeit" would probably be a better word for it. It's a cheap knock-off imitation of the real product, deceptively labeled and packaged to look like the genuine article. .

does it have the brand name on it someplace? if not it is not counterfeit.

If that review site can't do a better job of 'splaining' things, I wouldn't bother with it myself. seems like a site that prefers sensation to reality.
