Sir, I wish this video had been available before I bought my Waylens Secure360 4G dash cam. I installed the Waylens in my car the same day I received it and used it for about a month. In that short period, I encountered everything "bad" you described in your review. I have since removed the Waylens and have temporarily re-installed the DOD Tech LS460W that I was previously using. The fact that you cannot load your SD card videos and view them directly on your computer was the absolute clincher. The Waylens may hold the key to dash cam design of the future, but it does not do much for me today. In addition, thanks to a couple of your other videos, I placed an order yesterday for a BlackVue DR900S-1CH 4K from BlackBoxMyCar. I may use the DOD LS460W as the rear-facing camera. Again, thank you for posting your videos. They were extremely relevant and helpful to my situation. Best wishes! Happy New Year. Lou from Georgia (new subscriber).

Such a great review. Very detailed in all your information. At the beginning of the video, I saw the 360 camera and thought it was a must have. After seeing what major details it does miss, I found it to be unacceptable for rear view recording. Just misses too much. Your near rear collision in the parking lot convinced me. There are some really great features that are well worth picking up two for front and rear. That 360 hours record time when parked is boss! Thanks again for the video. Extremely informative.

I've been wanting a 360 degree dashcam/surveillance system for my car for a long time, and was really intrigued by this product initially, until reading all the complaints about video quality and other issues in the forum on Waylen's site. This video confirms this product just doesn't cut it. Thinking of installing two 2CH cams, one front/back and the other left/right.

Good review. I own the Secure 360 WiFi model. Its video quality isn't the best, but it's still pretty good. I think that's an acceptable compromise to get monitoring from all sides. I think the sun glare is due to the 360 degree fisheye lens, and it is a problem in bright sun. Hopefully they'll have a firmware update in the future that can improve some of the shortcomings. It's really more of a vehicle security camera than a true dash cam. If you want a true dash cam, get one that has a camera in front and in back. One problem they really need to fix is that impact detection is so sensitive it starts recording when it's raining. I'm worried that could run down the car battery if it rains all day long.

Also when watching the video and you try to zoom in it only allows you to zoom in on certain areas the video quality is for sure needing to be improved but the whole thing over all would be a great camera if they fixed the issues you talked about I'm hoping to contact them and have them reimburse me for the camra or give me one with better video

Got a question for you, perhaps you could answer it. I currently have a dashcam that is facing forward, it came with an analog camera for rear view as well. I originally installed them both and connected them, but the rear facing camera was completely jamming AM radio signal (I know, who listens to AM radio now a days?). I got a W211 Benz, and I guess the AM radio antenna is mounted near the top of rear window behind the head liner. I will probably step up to a Rexing V1LG to get HD on both ends of the car, but how should I go about installing the rear facing camera with maxing FOV and not interfere with the radio signal? Don't want to feed the camera outside, mainly because of the salt in winter.

Speaking of impact detection. I have Blackvue 750 2ch. Do ya think that Blackvue can upgrade firmware so dashcam says an impact occured at 730, 1130, 130am, etc. That way you're not looking for impacts endlessly. Now as far as 750 is concerned it keeps 50 events? Does it ever delete the 50 or do you have to manually do that

@@VortexRadar 17:01 *That's likely because the camera is recording off of a convex mirror or more probably an upturned, very wide angle lens, and it appears it's center of focus is directly above the lens. It has to unstretch the video at the periphery. This results in fewer sensor cells capturing the video from the periphery. That's, why you have poor video quality at the periphery. Also why you have such a problem with sunlight causing interference.* - As a black Somali man this could be useful for those, *"Driving while black,"* situations.

I bet all the sun flaring is from it mounted low on near the dash and the lens facing up. I wonder if you somehow find a way to mount it upside down on top of the windshield with the lens facing down if the quality will be way better. After exporting it you could use software to rotate the video right side up. This will also probably give you a better view of the rear windshield. Idk just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, Ariel :) Interesting... so it helps with flare, but now we're wasting pixels on our dash and hood instead of sky? :) But seriously, good point on the field of view stopping below head height, that's definitely a drawback. I only just received my 4G version (took Waylens a little longer than the WiFi version) so I've yet to play around with mine. Did Waylens say whether the concentricity problems in your first review unit was an isolated event? I've seen a number of posts from people unhappy with the video quality. Since the sensor array is covering an entire hemisphere (or rather, a circle in the middle of the sensor is, the corners aren't used), it's obviously not going to be as detailed as the same number of pixels covering a forward-facing 120° ish cone. So some of that reaction is understandable, almost expected. But if the lens is _also_ decentered, throwing off the focus, dewarping, etc on top of that, the result *will* be a mess.

Yeah you put the SIM card in right next to where the USB-C power cable port goes. I don't think you could simply swap bases though. They're not removable from the camera. As far as the pricing, that's a good question. I haven't seen any updated numbers, but when they were in negotiations with the cell companies when I talked to them at SEMA, they were aiming for $10'ish (maybe $12) per month. I'm not sure where the finalized numbers will land.

An accessory is coming for the Secure360 that resolves the sun glare issue!! The test vehicle was also (a) very dark compared to most cars (b) tiny if any rear window in the Miata convertible top. Notice how much better video quality was with his top down. $300 just for a battery pack to power another cam that records 20 extra hours with competitor cam vs $300 for Secure360 Wifi that records for 360 hours. No competition. The boss (Secure360 4G) is coming soon!!!!! Some suggestions in this review were good, easy firmware fixes. I just hope the next review is a little more fair & balanced. He should also talk more about all the features that set it apart from other dash cams. Secure360 is more like a security/accident detection/recording device than just recording a video camera...which are a dime a dozen. I also not sure about flipping it upside down. Might work but you will have more camera and cord in view. It looks better mounted right side up at the base of the window. Again, don't worry about sun glare...accessory coming!!

Before you get too defensive about the video quality illustrated in this video out of enthusiasm for the dashcam, you should probably be aware that Waylens has confirmed that the camera I purchased was defective and had an out of focus lens, an issue they've seen on a few other copies of the dashcam as well. They'd like to send out a replacement unit so I can take a second look at it and I'm hoping the next copy performs better! Regarding mounting it upside-down, they said that while it's possible, the camera isn't designed for this, the mount wouldn't work, and there's going to be some issues with the radar/motion detection, field of view, IR, and inverting the footage in the app. The engineers are going to provide a little more info on the subject. What is the accessory that you're referring to to help with the sun glare and how does it work?

Vortex Radar Sounds good and I appreciate your excellent knowledge on dash cams in general because I know very little. Possibly the upside down option will work or maybe not based on your thoughts or possibly another solution to sun glare will be available if upside down fails. I enjoy my Secure360 Wifi but even more looking forward to trying 4G.

Thanks for the review. The only problem I have with all these dash cams is that they are in some respects obvious and for the life of me I don't understand why nobody hasn't built a rear view mirror integrated unit. I get that sometimes not all rear view mirrors are the same but if someone builds a unit and it can plug into the cars "Universal plug" then integration should be a cinch. I know easier said than done.

There’s multiple RVM style dashcams, there’s some that blend behind the RVM alike the FitCam, etc.

Thanks certainly a comprehensive review, so even though its hit and miss so to speak lol with this dashcam probably still worth the outlay compared to the cost of an accident & injuries you might need essential evidence for to claim. House cctv covering your car parked at home or office building cctv would probably be sufficient for when parked but not supermarkets.

Why don't they redesign it to mount at the top of the windshield with the lens down? Seems like that would solve many of the quality issues.

@@VortexRadar man this is harsh considering the fact that it was perfect for 360 surveillance and considering its park mode. Which one do you recommend for that? I have a neighbor keying my vehicles. I’d like to hide a camera so he doesn’t think I have one then catch him and send him to jail.

I feel this isn't the best if you want to catch someone who did a hit a run. As he said, and showed, you can't see the finer details. But I bought this cam and use it as a security camera for my car. When going in trips or living/staying in an area you can't trust. Its great to have a camera that captures what's going on all around the immediate area and inside the cabin. THOUGH I must admit I wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't $100 off. Drive safe, team.
