Perfect Case for the S9+
on May 22, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Always keep my phones in an Otterbox case and this one fits the S9+ perfect. Does a great job of protecting the phone and doesn't seem to really add that much bulk to the phone. Edge features on the phone still work as they should, the case does not get in the way at all.

Got this for the wife and her new S9+. She wanted the phone for the purple color so having a case that is clear was a must. Case is perfect for being able to see the phone and to protect it for bumps and drops. Keep otterboxes on all my phones

Small camera
on February 6, 2018
Posted by: BenM
from Central IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Going from the older Garmin camera I could not believe how small this one is. You can mount this thing about anywhere. Only had this one for about a month so far and it works as it should. Surprised the lane departure function does work but not all the time. Guessing it depends on how well the lanes are marked and the light at the time. Worth having because it just might work the one time you need it to let you know you are out of your lane

Great batteries for the Viper remotes that Best Buys selling and installs. The battery size can rub off the back of the remote so it is nice to know which batteries work so you don't have to take it apart to figure it out

Great door opener
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: BenM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this so I could tell if my garage door was open from anywhere. Works great and can notify you if anybody opens the door even while you are away. Would have had it installed and running in less then 30 minutes but I had to call tech support. It was my problem because I was reading the serial number wrong. But support was nice and very helpful and it only took a few minutes on the phone with them to fix my problem and have the opener up and running

I am wanting to purchase this for work. I make several stops during the day (vehicle stays running), and was wondering if the camera will record for a certain amount of time when I’m not in motion?

The camera will keep recording as long as it is plugged in and has power. Motion has nothing to do with when it records

The display on the camera does not stay on very long while driving. Is the display monitor supposed to be visibly on while driving or is it designed to turn off after a certain amount of time? If it is designed to turn off, is the camera still recording?

Yes the camera is still recording when the screen shuts off after a period of time. I believe it tells you that just before the screen shuts off. When you unplug the camera and it powers down it will tell you then that the recording will stop

My Cig. Plug stays hot when the ignition is turned off. Can I just leave it plugged in with the supplied cable instead of purchasing the "parking mode cable" P/N 010-12530-03 for recording motion when parked?

As long as the cig plug has power and is plugged in the camera will stay on. From what I have read if you use the parking mode cable it will save all the videos while it is in use. Just leaving it plugged in will record just like it does when you are driving down the road. Hope that helps

Is the magnet in the Mount itself or is the disk on the windshield a magnet?

The magnet is in the mount and not the disk on the windshield

My husband wants to know how long can you record on it before it rolls over again?

It would depend on how big of a memory card you put into the camera. If I remember the biggest it supports is a 64g card

Can the GPS be used to find a stolen camera?

The camera does not connect to anything online to transfer any GPS info. And the camera does not tag photo's or videos with anything to tell you which camera it was coming from so even if you saw a post from somebody with a video or picture you could not tell it was from your camera

If I want to control three different garage doors, do I have to buy the sensor and unit for all three garages?

Yes you would need one for each door
