"This is a feature-packed budget system where the '4K' claim is the first compromise."
The '4K Front Camera' specification sells the product, but physics and cost engineering dictate it's almost certainly interpolated or running at a bitrate so low that a true 1080p camera would provide a clearer image.
This is for a buyer on a strict budget who needs maximum camera coverage for liability, such as a rideshare driver. The price is low enough to be considered a disposable item if it fails outside a return window.
Anyone requiring legible license plates from moving vehicles, especially at night, should invest in a system with a proven Sony STARVIS sensor. Buyers in hot climates should seek a unit with a supercapacitor for longevity.
