00:00Hey, it's Adrian, and if you're looking for high-quality 4K video along with the ability
00:06to have front recording, rear recording, and inside car cabin recordings, you should check
00:11out the Red Tiger F17 Elite 3-Channel Dash Cam. The F17 Elite Dash Camera has a wide field of
00:17view letting you see everything you have sharp 4K video using Sony Starvacist II IMX678 sensor,
00:23there's a 3-inch IPS display with touchscreen functionality, up to 512GB microSD card support,
00:3024-7 time-lapse parking surveillance, and it also comes with a 128GB included microSD card.
00:36So let's see if the Red Tiger F17 Elite Dash Camera could be your next dash camera,
00:40and a big thanks to Red Tiger for sending this out for review.
00:44In the box, we have the Red Tiger F17 Elite Dash Camera along with the rear dash cam unit as well.
00:50We also have the car socket adapter, and if you take a look at the front of it, there's also a
00:55Type-A USB connector so you could self-plug in, you know, another cable to charge your phone.
00:58There's a really long extension cable to connect the rear dash camera to the F17 Elite. There's a
01:03quick start guide, manual mounting clips with adhesives applied. There's additional sticky pads,
01:08an additional mount for electrostatic stickers, and a wedge tool to tuck the wires.
01:13So the F17 Elite Dash Camera looks really nice from the front. You can see as I kind of angulate it,
01:18it plays really nicely with the light. It has this kind of geometric pattern with the Red Tiger logo.
01:22Now, even though it's a mostly all plastic build, it does have some heft coming in at around 188 grams,
01:28or about 0.4 pounds. Now, on the front, we have a 4K lens, and that's using Sony Starvis II IMX 678 sensor.
01:36Now, this is really unique though. This is something I've not seen before, so take a look at this.
01:40If I do a side profile, the actual lens module here, this can be rotated or actually articulated up,
01:48down, right, and left. That is something I've never seen on a dash camera before. Now,
01:53we also have the actual mount that's going to go on the windshield, and this actually articulates as
01:58well. So we have two levels of articulation. So if you ever felt limited by the articulation here,
02:03you also have it on the front, like really unique. On the very bottom, we have the microphone port,
02:08and if we take a look at the side, they've already included a 128 gigabyte micro SD card,
02:13so you're ready to go. This is something I wish more dash camera brands would actually do.
02:17However, the dash camera accepts up to a 512 gigabyte micro SD card, so that's what I'll be
02:23using during my testing. And then if we take a look at the rear, so this is where we have that
02:27fairly large 3-inch IPS screen, and this does have touch functionality, which I'll demo later.
02:33And then we have, you know, kind of the claim to fame of this. So this is the cabin camera. And again,
02:38it's the same type of articulation that we saw on the front, because you could just kind of
02:42angulate it to wherever is a priority in the car. And the inside camera or cabin camera is capable
02:48of 1080p recordings and color night vision. We also have a status light in the corner here. On the
02:55actual mount that articulates, we have power for the rear dash camera to connect it there, and then
03:00we have the main power slot. Both are USB Type-C. There's also a GPS module built in for route tracking.
03:06The rear dash camera is much more compact and lightweight, coming in at 39 grams. Now this is
03:11a 2.5K lens. Most dash cameras have a 1080p, so it's nice to see 2.5K on the rear. And this is using
03:18Sony Starvis II IMX678 sensor. We also have a sticky path that just attaches to your rear glass. And on
03:24the side, we have the Type-C connector and an LED indicator light that lets you know when everything is
03:28powered correctly. Here's a quick look at the specs. Feel free to pause and review or jump ahead to the next
03:33section. To connect the F17 Elite dash camera to the Red Tiger app, make sure the dash camera is
03:38plugged in and you connect the rear camera as well. Open up the Red Tiger app, click the plus sign,
03:43and then go back to the dash camera and tap the Wi-Fi icon at the top right corner to turn it on.
03:49Connect to the Wi-Fi name, which is going to be F17 Elite or something similar, and then it'll
03:54automatically connect in the app and you're good to go. Now that the F17 Elite is connected to the
03:59Red Tiger app, we can tap on access camera and it's going to pull up a live view of what the cameras
04:04are seeing. So if I run my hand in the front, that's what we're seeing on the front. Now I would have to
04:09go ahead and switch the different camera view. So this is going to be for the rear camera. So once
04:14that kicks over, I'll just run my hand in front here. So you can see this is the rear camera. Again,
04:19very good quality. And then lastly, if I go ahead and click that again, it's going to switch to the
04:24inside cabin camera. So you should see me in a couple of seconds right there. But let's just
04:29jump back into the front camera, which is the 4k camera and the highest resolution. Now on here,
04:37you can also go ahead and see that it's recording audio right now. It's actively recording. We can
04:41also go ahead and take a full screen view, which is handy. And I could see the GPS signal. We can also
04:47jump into maps and it actually shows the speed if you keep this up while you're driving. Now if we tap
04:51on this icon here, this is going to access the storage. So everything that's on the micro SD card,
04:56so you can see this is what's been recorded so far. So we have it broken down into loop, snapshot,
05:02and locked. And this is if you're, you know, your car gets any type of collisions or the dash camera
05:07thinks it's in a collision, it's going to lock that file. So it can't be overwritten until you can get
05:12access to it. So fairly standard there. Now if we hit stop here, this is going to stop the recording.
05:17And then we can also take a snapshot. You could hear that audibly on both. Let's go into the full
05:22settings now. So in the full settings, you can enable sound recording from here. Now speaker
05:27volume, you could set that to low, medium, or high. I'll leave it on medium for now. And then for video
05:32resolution, so we have a couple options. You can have 4k for the front, 1080p for the inside or cabin
05:37camera, and then 2.5k for the rear. Or you can have 2.5k for front and rear and 1080p for the inside
05:45camera. And then loop recording duration, you could set it to 1 minute, 3 minute, or 5 minutes.
05:50Collision sensing, so this is where the dash camera is going to automatically detect if your
05:54car was involved in a collision. You could set the sensitivity from low, medium to high, or leave it
05:59off. I'll just leave it on low, the default. And then the speed, you could switch it from kilometers
06:05to miles. I'm going to leave it on kilometers because I'm in Canada. You can turn on 24 hour clock,
06:10and then you could set the wi-fi name, password, and check the firmware version. Let's take a look
06:14at the dash cam settings. So I could see the GPS is on, it's set to 4k, wi-fi is off, voice control
06:21is on, recording is on, or sound recording is on, and it's actually recording, and I'm looking at the
06:26front camera. Now you can also see there's some quick access icons at the bottom, and those actually
06:30correspond with the touch buttons or the physical buttons at the bottom. So for example, if I want to
06:36take a snapshot, I could press the power button, it's going to take that snapshot, and I can also
06:41just tap on the actual icon to take the snapshot. So the touch screen is very, you know, convenient to
06:47have. Now at the very bottom, we can also switch between the cameras. So this is the inside or cabin
06:53camera, and then this is going to be the rear camera. And if I cycle through, it's going to give
06:56me different layouts where I could see the different cameras in priority, and we're back to the front.
07:02We can also go ahead and tap into this icon to look at video playback. There's different folders.
07:07This is going to be quicker to do on the app, so I recommend using the app.
07:10We can also lock everything and jump into the full menu settings. So let's do that now.
07:15Under resolution, we have the two options, 4k for the front or 2k if you want to save on stored space.
07:21Same as in the app, you can also choose to record sound or not. And then we have loop recording from
07:27one minute up to five minutes. And then we can also set the G sensor from off, low, medium, or high.
07:34You can set a fatigue reminder. So the dash cam reminds you to take a break while driving.
07:39And then we can turn wi-fi on. We can set the speaker volume, same as in the app.
07:44And then I've disabled clip tones. That's why you're not hearing anything as I'm clicking through.
07:48You can enable or disable the dash cam startup sound. And then the screensaver actually kicks in
07:52from 15 seconds to 1 to 3 minutes. But there doesn't seem to be a way to turn that off completely.
07:58Now you can also set internal recording. You're going to want that on at all times.
08:02And then voice control is on. And these are the list of available voice commands. I'll test that
08:07out later. And then we can also do a mirror flip for the front or rear dash camera. You can also look
08:12at the GPS signal. It's not going to be strong. I'm indoors. Now you can also have a date stamp appear on the
08:18video. You can have your current speed appearing on the video. And you can have the GPS coordinates
08:24on there. I've disabled that for now. And then you can set the speed units. Kilometers to miles per hour.
08:29The languages are English, Mandarin, French, Mandarin again. Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Russian,
08:37Korean, and Turkish. So a bunch of languages. We also have the clock setting. You can set that manually.
08:42You could set the time cell 12 to 24 hours. You could set your time zone. Daylight savings time on or off.
08:48You could set the flicker hertz. You can also have the dash camera remind you to format the microSD card.
08:53You could format it manually whenever. You can take a look at the card speed. I highly recommend doing
08:57this. You could reset everything. Download the app. Take a look at product info or look at the help
09:02center. To install the dash camera, apply the electrostatic sticker to the front windshield.
09:07Remove the protective peel from the front dash camera mount and attach it to the electrostatic sticker.
09:12Repeat the same process for the rear dash camera and then connect the extension cable from the rear camera
09:17to the front camera and then power up the front camera using the socket adapter or the hardwire
09:22kit and you're done. 4K video quality is sharp thanks to the Sony Starvis II IMX678 sensor, meaning
09:32you'll see critical details like license plate without issue. Thanks to the high bitrate video quality,
09:38video looks great during the day under various lighting conditions. Whether it's bright and sunny,
09:43overcast or at night you'll still be able to see everything and record clearly. And that wide
09:48field of view lets you see all lanes of traffic while you're driving. Footage from the rear camera
09:53is also equally detailed and it has a wide field of view letting you see everything that goes on outside
09:58as well. Now note that my rear windshield is tinted and it does have heating element lines to melt snow
10:03and ice so it will affect the video quality but if you have a clear glass yours will look even better than
10:09mine. Video inside the car cabin is also clear which is great for keeping ride sharing records or you
10:15just want to be protected inside and out you'll see everything in great detail. If you use the hardwire
10:21kit which is optional you have the option to turn on parking surveillance and you'll get clear video of
10:27every movement in and around your car from all three cameras. You can also set the time lapse duration
10:32from 12, 24 or 48 hours. The voice controls were fairly accurate even with car cabin noise. Here's a demo of that.
10:38Turn screen off. Turn on screen. Show rear camera. Show front camera.
10:50If you use the included 128 gigabyte micro sd card you'll get around five hours of video recording
10:56history. Now if you step up to 256 gigabyte card that'll go up to 9 hours and 30 minutes and if you
11:02use the 512 gigabyte card that I use on air you'll get almost 19 hours of recording history which is
11:08fantastic. Now if you do plan on using the time lapse surveillance feature these numbers will be a
11:14little bit lower since it's also recording when you're parking in which case it's better to have
11:17the 512 gigabyte micro sd card and I'll leave links down below to the one that I'm using. Now the f17
11:23elite dash camera has been great so far but there's one thing I wanted to point out. So the screen on the
11:27dash camera will turn off after a certain amount of time. I've set mine to turn off after three minutes which
11:33is the maximum. Now I generally like to see this screen when I'm driving so I know it's working but
11:37if you take a look there's a blue led light letting you know it's actually working. Now at any point
11:41you can also issue a voice command to turn the screen on so it's not really that big of a deal
11:45but something to consider. If your current dash camera only records in 1080p or if you want both front
11:51rear and inside car cabin recordings the red tiger f17 elite three channel dash camera is a worthy
11:57option. Red tiger also includes a 128 gigabyte micro sd so you'll be up and running right away without
12:02having to spend extra. So I'll leave links down below in the video description and pinned comments
12:07for you to get your very own red tiger f17 elite dash camera and if you need a dash camera with only
12:12front and rear recording you don't require inside recordings check out my review of the f tiger f77
12:18dual 4k dash cam this actually records front and rear in 4k it's worth checking out. And I have a huge
12:24favor to ask if you found this video helpful would you consider liking and subscribing truly does help me
12:28out as a small ongoing channel and maybe consider checking out some of my other tech
12:32reviews I'll review a bunch of different things from keyboards laptops headphones earbuds security
