M1 Dash Cam

Very nice addition to my escort max 360c, the image quality is fair and the functionality of the unit seems to be everything I expected. However, the one gripe I have about it in the few days I’ve been using the product, the mount bracket. I wish that the mount bracket for it had been integrated into the actual radar detector to keep the quick disconnect functionality of the magnetic bracket. Instead the unit attaches to the bracket bolt itself and therefore must be unplugged from the detector and disconnected separately from the bracket every time you exit the vehicle, otherwise the entire bracket has to be removed from the windshield to prevent theft. Other than that nice unit.

This application is absolutely without a doubt the most WORTHLESS app I have on my iPhone. I have read where ESCORT has blamed it on the phone carrier being T-Mobile and that would not apply to me since my carrier is AT&T which happens to be the second largest network in operation in the US. I would have to honestly say that I am connected to the camera no more than 20% of the time. The additional 80%, It gives me a network error in which I go through the same motions every time of closing the app, switching off the radar camera and bringing them both back up again only to find that at best, 50% of the time it will reconnect. The reconnection is short-lived and it may be 2 to 3 minutes before it shuts off and I get the error message again. Location is not a thing because there are times that it will connect in the morning and then during the evening commute home that same area will not give me a connection. I will be writing a follow-up review after contacting customer service which I hope will not be in vain as so many have previously reported. Again, as this app stands presently, this app is a waste of time to even download. All that it leads to is constant frustration.

After reading all the negative reviews, tbh I was initially turned off. I’ve owned a few Escort devices through out the years and I think they have all been high quality products. I’m glad I went ahead and purchased the dash cam anyway. The app needs a little polishing for sure, but overall it works great. Just make sure to connect to the dash cam’s WiFi network first before opening the app.
