about the only thing good i have to say: the price was right and since this camera's starting price was in the neighborhood of 70 bucks (not including the GPS module, another 17-18 dollars) you can see why i bought it. 31 and change for both. this camera in one form or another has been around for probably six or more years and until the "S" up-grade no other changes of import have been made. the "S" model met my price and that's the only reason i bought it.

do not waste your money on this camera (VIOFO G1W-S GPS INCLUDED). i bought one thinking that with the addition of a plug-in GPS i would be able to see on-screen things like: MPH and location and maybe even the satellite correct time. not a chance. it turns out you have to subscribe to something or download something. i never found out exactly what i would have had to do but even then i still would have not seen any read-outs of any kind on-screen. not sure exactly how this works, just know that i am extremely dissatisfied with the included GPS part of the camera. the camera by itself works fine. i already have 3 other cameras and all of them are G1W-C models. they all work perfectly in any of my cars. the VIOFO G1W-S camera works just fine but without the GPS module. if you are considering buying one of these i would suggest that you find out everything there is to know about the GPS part of the camera before you buy it. if you can do without the GPS, i would suggest that you consider other models of the same camera: G1W (battery operated) or G1W-C (capacitor operated). both of these work great without the GPS. keep in mind that all of the above is my opinion for whatever it is worth.

The G1W-S is VIOFO's latest and greatest version of the G1W dash camera. The G1W series dash cameras have been one of the most popular budget dash cameras over the last few years. The new G1W-S sports the Sony IMX323 image sensor for superior image quality, both day and night, over the past G1W generations. VIOFO also upgraded the G1W-S to an 6G F/1.6 lens with 145 degree FOV. This new version will also now support GPS functions with the GPS module.
By using a capacitor as its power source, the G1W-S bypasses many persistent dash cam problems that are inherent to battery use. Battery life notably degrades over time, with mere months of use shortening battery life by considerable amounts. More importantly, batteries are often the first component of a dashboard camera to fail, requiring relatively costly or time consuming repairs.
