I have owned the K&F Concept Dual for more than 4 months now and would like to briefly share my experience.
First of all, I am still convinced of the dashcam! Overall, it delivers a good image, even very good images during the day, although it must of course be said that this model also does not have autofocus and therefore does not focus infinitely. Unfortunately, you can no longer read license plates or signs at night, but almost all dash cams in this price range have this problem. If an accident occurs, the video can also be used to reconstruct the accident at night.
I only use the front camera. It's a shame that you can use both cameras at the same time, but only in Full HD mode. For example, if you want to operate the front camera at 60 FPS, you inevitably have to leave the rear camera switched off. The processor is probably unable to process the data. If you set a resolution higher than Full HD, I personally don't see any advantage in the image.
The motion mode works very well. I've had to brake hard several times and the camera reliably saved the current video. If you want, you can save the video yourself at the touch of a button.

I had repeatedly dealt with the topic of dashcams. Even when it was not yet allowed here in Germany to install a dashcam in the car and take recordings.
I looked at several dashcams and read relevant tests on the internet. After the field of possible models became smaller and smaller, three dash cams have emerged. In the end I decided on the dashcam. Although it is significantly more expensive than other dash cams, it also offers more options and functions that other dash cams do not offer. I have also published a detailed test on my blog so that others can also find out more about this dash cam.
Advantages:
- Video recordings of what is happening in front of the vehicle and from inside the vehicle or, depending on the car model and the occupancy of the rear seats, also of what is happening behind the car - Cameras can
record simultaneously in dual mode
- The front camera can also be used alone if there are no recordings from the driver's cab are desired
- good recordings at night (good light sensitivity of the front camera and infrared light support of the rear camera)
- loop recordings: Individual clips are recorded and overwritten if no accident occurs or a recording is blocked manually
- optional GPS -Receiver can be used as an accessory
Disadvantages:
- No micro SD memory card included, must be purchased separately
- not every Micro SD memory card is supported (recommendation: Sandisk Micro SD 128 GB)
- When the sun is low, the recordings from the rear camera, which show what is happening behind the car, are sometimes overexposed
- comparatively high price
I can recommend this dash cam I'm very happy with this. I got the charging cable routed well in my car (Kia Ceed).

I got this for my dad's car.
First and foremost, in the box you get the dashcam, a windshield mount, a USB cable and the charger.
I like that the included charger has an additional USB port for charging other devices.
The build quality of the camera is great. It's half metal and half plastic and it definitely looks like an expensive camera.
It has a mini USB port instead of USB-C. I wish they had used USB-C as it is becoming standard pretty quickly.
I like that the windshield mount also has a mini USB port in case you hardwire it.
It has a smaller screen than the Vantrue N4. It is a high-resolution screen so you can still watch the recorded videos. The menus are easy to understand and since there are six buttons to control the camera, it is quite easy to use.
I have a 64 gigabyte microSD card that I use with this dash cam. Using both cameras will give you approximately 3.5 hours of footage (1080p-60fps or 1440p-30fps). If you just use the main camera, you'll get six hours.
The video quality is great especially at night. My old camera was useless at night. I can read all signs and license plates. It's even better during the day.

I bought the dashcam for my car because I primarily want to detect collisions and vandalism in parking mode. My car has been the victim of mindless vandalism on the road several times in the form of scratches all over the side of the vehicle. Furthermore, I had a big bump in the bumper of my last vehicle due to incompetent parking maneuvers by other drivers.
It was important to me that the dashcam films both front and rear and takes good, recognizable recordings even at night.
I hard-wired the cam to a fuse in the car for the panoramic glass roof and mounted the camera to the mount above the rearview mirror. I hid the cable completely in the fairing and that's a neat story.
The camera has a sharp image and the night vision mode even allows you to recognize license plates and faces that are being filmed backwards. For parking surveillance, it makes sense to choose a slightly lower position for the camera, so that at the right angle the face height of people passing by can be seen through the rear and side windows.
The G-sensor is also great, as it saves a secure recording without the risk of being overwritten in the event of a bump or accident.
Since I connected the camera to a continuous power fuse in the vehicle, it was important that the power consumption was not so high. In my tests so far, the camera ran for 4-5 days without the vehicle being moved and the car started wonderfully. It also has a battery monitor built in and would shut off if the voltage was too low. I've never been that far before.
The helpful support via email or chat is also worthy of praise! I was even sent a specially adapted firmware for which I had previously expressed individual settings wishes! Top!

So the picture or video quality was great, even from the inside camera you could see something behind the rear window, great during the day almost all license plates were recognized and at night it was also usable. For me the parking mode was important and I had, as some people
say Tried with a power bank because the car battery doesn't last long anyway, but if you live on a busy street, the dashcam even drains a big power bank after half a day, so it didn't record anything at night, otherwise I have to say that was
it The quality of the dash cam is good, but you should also get it for the price

I've tried 2 other cameras before, but this is by far the best.
The image quality is very good, even in the rain or at night; license plates and street signs can be easily recognized.
The camera goes into recording mode without any problem as soon as I start the engine. If the engine is off, the parking monitoring comes on, which also works very well.
So far I'm very satisfied, but I'll let you know if that's no longer the case.

I bought the camera because it already had good reviews. I regularly travel on highways and have suffered from vandalism twice. I also travel off-road in my free time (agriculture and forestry), although unfortunately not all people are "nice" encounters.
The camera records all actions very well in the front wide angle area, but unfortunately a little less in the rear, hence the star deduction.
Excellent license plate recognition, gestures from other drivers and since it also records your own speed with GPS, controversial situations can be easily understood.
As far as I'm concerned, the camera "earned" its money. I was able to use it to prove an incorrect speed measurement on the A1, i.e. the false triggering by another vehicle and the own speed was below the permitted limit, as well as another thing with a bend in the right-of-way, where I was correct Followed the bend in the right of way, but a vehicle drove right across me and only avoided the collision thanks to forward-looking driving and the support of a collision radar. - The driver accused me of misbehaving. The presence of the camera alone ended any discussion. "You can look at this" or we can show the pictures to the police. - It's not about - proving someone else's guilt, it's just about showing that they're NOT - guilty. Otherwise..

Got the camera on December 8th. received and set up straight away. That was very easy. The next day I attached it to the windshield and tested it while driving to the store. The next day I drove to Berlin, where it was in use throughout the entire trip. It was also used for surveillance in the parking garage. everything without problems. After returning home, I looked at the pictures I took on the computer. It took a long time to download, but I was even more impressed with the quality of the images. I have to say, I don't understand some of the bad reviews at all. The camera is absolutely recommended!!

The dashcam does what it's supposed to do.
Easy to use, very good shots!
From me, clear purchase recommendation!

I bought this dashcam based on positive experiences from friends who have had it in their vehicle for a long time. Installation was very easy (for now). I now have it connected to a power bank via USB. Of course, you can also operate it using the cigarette lighter while driving, but since it doesn't provide electricity at night, this is not possible with the night-time parking control. I will have the dash cam connected to the power grid so that the dash cam can also be supplied with power at night. The picture quality and the sound quality are impeccable from what I can judge over the last 2 days and nights. The menu navigation is simple and easy to understand even for non-technical people like me. The only thing I could complain about would be that you can't easily control the dashcam via an app. You just have to attach the cam to the PC or remove the memory card. But hanging the cam on the PC to watch the films in large format (which you could also do via the small display on the cam) is really simple and easy. I'm glad I chose this cam and would do so again and again. Absolute purchase recommendation. Of course, I hope that I never need the recordings for an emergency, but I just drive with the camera more calmly so that I am prepared for a dispute.
