Our review
A dash cam is one of those things you do not think you need until you desperately wish you had one. The REDTIGER records 4K video from the front and 1080P from the rear, with enough clarity to read licence plates at distance — the exact evidence that has saved countless reviewers from false insurance claims and wrongly issued traffic tickets.
The STARVIS 2 sensor combined with HDR and WDR technology delivers clear footage in challenging lighting — from bright daylight to dark night driving. Built-in GPS records your speed, location, and route, which you can play back in the app. The 5.8GHz WiFi enables fast video downloads (20MB/s) directly to your phone without removing the SD card.
The G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts and locks the footage so it cannot be overwritten by loop recording — critical for preserving crash evidence. Parking mode (with optional hardwire kit) monitors your car while parked. A supercapacitor replaces traditional batteries for better heat resistance and longer life.
The honest downsides: SD card not included (buy a high-endurance U3 card). 10% one-star reviews cite reliability issues — some cameras fail after months. WiFi can be inconsistent for some users. The rear camera is 1080P, not 4K. And parking mode requires a separate hardwire kit purchase. But at under $95 with GPS, WiFi, and 4K resolution, this is exceptional value for a dual dash cam.

FAQ
Is an SD card included?
No — you need to buy a high-endurance microSD card separately. REDTIGER recommends their own branded card, but any U3 high-endurance card up to 512GB works.
Can I view footage on my phone?
Yes — the 5.8GHz WiFi connects to the REDTIGER app (iOS/Android) for live preview, clip download at 20MB/s, GPS playback, and settings adjustment.
Does it record when the car is off?
Yes — with the optional hardwire kit (sold separately), parking mode records time-lapse or impact-triggered footage while parked.
Will it survive summer heat?
Yes — the supercapacitor design is more heat-resistant and longer-lasting than traditional lithium batteries. Designed for extreme temperature operation (-4F to 149F).
