Having a dashcam in your car means supporting evidence at your fingertip should you be involved in a car accident or witness one. The devices are conveniently placed to observe the whole of the road ahead.
Therefore, any accident which you happen to see or be involved in is going to be recorded. Road rage, drink driving, and other dangerous behavior behind the wheel are prevalent.
However, a dashboard camera can help police and other law enforcement punish offenders before the worst-case scenario happens.
Review of F7 and Dash Cam from Red Tiger
That’s why in this video, we are going to review the F7 and dash cam from Red Tiger. The Red Tiger F7 and actually feel quite tiny compared to other dash cams we have reviewed.
Design and Build
The front camera measures 3.8 by 1.2 by 0.7 inches and weighs 30 grams. It is equipped with a 3.16 inches full-color screen that sits at the rear. We personally prefer having a physical screen as it makes setting up the camera much easier.
Interacting with it on the move is possible rather than having to pull out a smartphone and access an app to review clips or make sure things are saved properly.
The Red Tiger F7N is otherwise sleek and feels sturdy with the smooth front design only interrupted by a fairly protruding square lens. This is accompanied by a neat flap that allows easy attachment of the windscreen sucker mount.
So if you park somewhere that’s a little bit shady, you can go ahead and throw this in your box and no issues at all. Other than that, on the left side, there is an SD card port, a power button, and three buttons for control on the opposing flank. On the top, there is a port for attaching a rear camera and a power port.
Video Quality
The Red Tiger F7 and offer 4K UHD. This means a resolution of 3840×2160 in front, which in turn means sharper, higher quality video, with key details like number plates being easier to see than with an HD camera. But if you choose to use the rear camera, you do have to drop down that resolution just a tiny little bit.
So instead of the 3840×2160, you’re going to have to drop this to 2160 for the front, and you get a max of 1080 for the rear. But again, you’re still getting a really nice quality image from the front. The Red Tiger uses a Sony Starbus sensor which has an f 1.5 aperture in the front and f 2.0 aperture in the rear, and you get six glass lenses.
So you have a wide dynamic range and HDR as well. With a 170-degree front and 140-degree rear viewing angle, it is also good for capturing most of the action out of the windscreen and providing clearer images.
Durability and Connectivity
The F7 and rear camera is IP68 waterproof and drip-proof structure, so you don’t have to worry about the camera situation even in rainy or cloudy weather. The resulting footage is timestamped with the correct date, while GPS means it is also cleverly processed with the exact location and speed at which an incident occurred.
This could prove crucial when using the footage as evidence. The Red Tiger F7 and can capture footage in stunning 4K, but it requires a large memory card to store a decent amount of footage. The F7 and supports high endurance microSD memory cards up to 256 gigabytes.
As expected with the built-in G-sensor, the dashcam quickly captures an emergency situation and automatically locks the footage, preventing it from being overwritten and ensuring important footage is kept secure.
Temperature Resistance and App Integration
The Red Tiger F7 and dash cam uses a supercapacitor design to withstand extreme temperatures of -4 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit, preventing the risk of overheating, explosion, and melting. The F7 and camera have built-in Wi-Fi with easy connection to your smartphone using the Ucom app.
You can access videos on the app, play and download these videos, and share your journey with friends or relatives on social media. You can also easily operate and set the dashcam on the app, getting rid of tedious button operations.
Conclusion
Here is some footage from the front and rear camera in night and day. This is the first 4K UHD dashcam we’ve reviewed that delivers the extra detail you’d expect at that resolution. Captures are great, but four times the storage.
Regardless, it’s a very nice front-rear dashcam combo. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. As always, if you enjoy this content.. I will see you in my next article. Peace.
