High quality lens on both front and rear cameras. Easy to install and comes with panel pry bar to help lift up trim. Even had 32GB micro USB card. Great product and inexpensive compared to local products. Highly recommended.
The picture quality captured by this device is full HD front and rear. Registration plates and road signs are readable from a great distance. The angle of the camera is huge! You can see exactly what you’d be able to see with your own eyes! It has many settings to customise this camera to your own liking, one of which I like is the silent activation upon startup. This means when I take my car to a garage for an MOT or service or if I let the wife take my car for a drive they don’t even know it’s on. (You yourself can tell it’s powered on by the indication of a small red LED on the top left of the camera).
In the box there is a included 32GB SD card, which means you don’t have to fiddle around ordering one separate, and having to potentially wait extra time to get this installed in your vehicle.
I can not recommend this camera enough, it ticks all the boxes for what a great dash cam should be.
10/10 - Great dash cam!

This is an outstanding dash cam!

apeman dash cams are what most of our vans at work have in them. i got this for my new car. it was easy to fit, i even wired it into my fusebox so i can utilise parking mode. it has tremendous night vision and you can read number plates back on the footage from far or near, day or night
i use a 64gb memory card in the dash cam. it records in loops (i set mine to 3 minute loops) and it overwrites old footage so you don’t need to keep clearing videos. any videos which triggers the g-sensor over a certain limit will be locked and tiles won’t be overwritten. you can delete these manually — i usually instruct our drivers to manually clear all videos from the dash cam every two months
Bought this for my wife's car after being impressed with a previous Apeman dashcam and this one is just as impressive.
Both cameras are easy to setup and after routing the cabling through the headlining it's just a case of plugging them into the cigarette socket.
The 1080P front camera is clear and works very well in low light. The rear camera is lower resolution 720P but still high enough to recognise number plates etc. Great quality!
Once both cameras are plugged in they start and stop automatically when the car is turned on/off. Couldn't be simpler really!
Highly recommended product and another great camera from Apeman!
I already have an Apeman DashCam but it only recorded the front view and I was keen to have a rear view recording camera and this C550 model fits the bill perfectly. The front windscreen camera is a smart design and affixes to the glass using a sticky pad (Apeman provide a spare pad if required which is a nice touch). Once fitted, you can plug in the camera to the ‘car charger’ and check/adjust the camera angle on the C550 screen – I didn’t and my first few videos were mainly of the sky and not the road! The C550 comes with decent lengths of cabling allowing both front and rear cameras to be positioned easily and the cables can be hidden behind the car fascia and Apeman provide a tool to help with this. The quality of the front camera 1080P video is excellent and with a wide angle which gives a great record of the view travelled yet detailed to allow number plate recognition. Ideal to video a driving trip so that you can concentrate on the road and then replay at leisure when not behind the wheel. Videos are recorded in 3 minute sessions and when the memory card is full, the loop programme starts again. The rear camera 720P is not of the same quality but will detail the number plate of vehicles behind and record any accident should one occur. I have positioned my rear camera so that it shows my tow bar and can be used as a reversing camera when hitching up the trailer. The videos can easily be checked on your computer using the USB cable which will power up the camera and you can look at the 2 files (1 file for Front & 2 file for Rear). You can then save any videos you require but remember each 3 minute front video is 377MB. Apeman provide a 32GB Micro SD card with the C550 which again is a nice touch and means that once installed, you are ready to record. I have attached a short video recorded on my phone off my computer screen as the file size is smaller but please note that the C550 video is much clearer and of far better quality but I don’t have any video editing software!! The C550 comes with a good User Manual and Menu instructions and once setup, it just starts recording when the ignition is turned on. You can silence the Startup and Beep sound so that you really forget it is there. I really can’t find any faults with this C550 DashCam and it gives you a sense of security to know your journey is being recorded should an accident occur. All in all I’m delighted and all I have to do now is fit the old DashCam into my partner’s car!

The Apeman C550 gives you front and rear camera video protection.

This dash camera I would say is a very budget friendly for the fact its a complete kit which also includes a memory card makes is a great value for money. Got this dash camera installed in my wife car which needed an upgrade as we had a old 720p resolution dash camera there.
Camera installation is simple and instructions are very clear. Front camera is simple when it comes to installation rear needs few extra minutes due to wiring involved in the process. Overall we took around 30 minutes which can be done much quicker.
Once installation was complete we used the same 32GB card which came as part of package. This dash cam is best one we had so far. Auto powers once car is started. Has inbuilt battery which helps in executing features such as parking monitor as it starts recording video as soon hears knock or impact.
Other features such as Motion Detection, Loop Recording, G-Sensor works smoothly as well. Quality of the footage is nice both in day and night hours.
Probably this is one of the best cameras we had so far. Highly recommended !!
