I had an earlier model of this friction mount and it was bigger and bulky. However it did its job. I was surprised when I opened the package. It was small, did an excellent job of staying on the dash and easily stored in our dodge minivan secondary storage compartment. Good design and versatile.

I’ve owned three of these. One died and was out of warranty so I bought a new one which has been running for a couple of months. The third one was defective out of the box. It would not retain its configuration across a power cycle. Overall, I’d expect a better level of quality from Cisco.

As others have mentioned, one weak point of the design is the length of the AC power cord. This limits your location. Also, I have used the wireless capability and it’s not 100% rock solid for the connection. This is not an issue if the device is conveniently located in your house where you can power cycle it if it locks up. However, for a remote location this becomes problematic. Some people put these devices on a timer to power cycle them once a day.

It’s better to use the wired vs. wireless connection on this camera, again for more reliability.

The camera mount does not allow a 90 degree tilt of the camera with respect to the wall due to the bulky camera body hitting the wall.

Security-wise, the connection to the camera uses http not https, so the video data is not encrypted. Neither is the userid and password that you use to login. Those hackers who stumble upon the camera’s IP address will get a display telling them the name and brand of the camera. With this information, the hacker than can look up the product information on the Internet to see default login information and other parameters and functions. This may not be a concern, but I mention it.

The camera does not have any night vision capability, nor does it have low-light capability. The resolution of the image is sufficient for an overall view but not for identifying people’s faces for police purposes, for example.

Configuration-wise, I’d recommend getting a computer-savvy friend to set this up. Change the administrator login and add another user login for video viewing purposes not related to administration. I’d recommend using a wired conne

One drawback is to note that the dashboard in your car may shake differently than your windshield does as you go over rough surfaces. This difference in movement if it occurs may be something you will notice in your Garmin. But this isn’t a product defect, it is just something to be aware of as you are mounting your unit to a different component on your vehicle . But it really isn’t a big deal, it is just a minor issue. This items works as advertised and just fine for the two Garmin models I’ve tried it on. I easily adjusts up and down and side to side. It is also easy to set up and sits snugly and securely on top of the dashboard in your vehicle.

Arrived in good shape and in a timely manner. Installed with no problems. Have used the free upgrade to Office 2010 via download. All is well!

This item is cheap and there is a reason why. Bad, slow signal/connection pickup.
The only good thing is the easy Setup…

Really love the Kindle. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and I take it everywhere I go. It’s a convenient size for my purse, so if I’m idling somewhere (waiting for oil change, in line at auto registration, waiting room at dr’s office, etc), I just pull it out and read. I was finally able to get through some books that I’ve been putting off!

It’s not user friendly right out of the box, but kindle does provide tuturials. I’m getting used to the controls but still confusing sometimes (more operator error). I just wish when shopping through the Kindle, it was easier to get to the free book area (again, probably operator error). Still love it!
