Getting a dashcam for my car has been on my mind for a few years now, but I have been procrastinating for some reason or other. With recent incidents that I came across in this forum and deteriorating safety standards in Chennai ensured I get one ASAP.

My budget was around ₹ 4K, the expectation was it should serve the purpose and I was ok to compromise on video quality. Last week there was a sale on Amazon and I casually surfed in the app to understand different offers in dashcam and found Qubo from Hero Group. It was priced at ₹ 2990 and the reviews were good. Went through some other reviews on Google and after a lot of deliberation finally decided to buy Qubo smart Dashcam ProX.

Pros:

Excellent video clarity considering the price.
Competitively priced.
Ease of installation.
Overwriting of existing videos based on FIFO, emergency videos wouldn’t be overwritten.

Cons

Download speed isn’t great.
Recorded video needed to be manually downloaded to the app gallery.

Along with the dashcam I also purchased a 128 GB micro SD card from Samsung for ₹ 998 which is class 10 rated, only class 10 is compatible with this cam.

In the box, you get the Dashcam, lengthy 12V cable, an installation tool to tuck the cable inside the roof, and A-pillar, extra sticker, and some papers

Installation was simple and straightforward, one has to download the Qubopro app scan for the Dashcam, turn on WiFi and connect mobile to the Dashcam’s WiFi hotspot, and follow the next steps, you are set. Before installing the camera to the windshield it is better to do the setup, in the app with the help of live visuals; placement in the windshield can be done accordingly. With the help of the little plastic, we can easily tuck the cable inside the roof and A-pillar to make the car look less clumsy with cables running around the dash.
