Have been using this dashcam from 4wd Supercentre for a few months now & thought I`d share a short vid that I shot using it. Pretty happy with the quality of the video it captures, not bad for the price ($89 at the time). Using a 32 gig card & can record for just over 4 hours.

Downside is that the GPS is crap, loses signal & as a result the track is all over the place so would not rely on it for track recording. Time, date & speed cannot be removed from recordings even though this is an option in settings.

I wouldn't buy from them either Avo. Got it as a Christmas present. If I had of bought it would have been sent back.

Sent from my campfire using smoke signals.

Quantity over quality. They used samples of their sponsors and sent them to China, copied Everything then launched their Brands dumping Chinese Rubbish all over our community. It is pitched at a price point and the failure rate is huge.

Selling junk. Their whole magazine is an advertisement for their Chinese junk.

Have a bit of stuff from them and other brands , I'm more disappointed with the stuff I bought from ARB and TJM to be honest .
I'm sure their snatch strap just won a comparison test .

I have some of there gear.. For the price you can't beat it. But yes, you have to pick thru the chit to get the better products. For a ZD30 you can not go past there Domin8or exhaust, I'm about to buy one of there muffler deletes to suit...

It's horses for courses, they saw a gap in a growing market , their business model obviously works , warehouse style shop selling / online , no fancy show rooms or packaging , product quality may be inferior in some
instances . Like anything there could be issues / faults , but considering the volume sold , the % could well be less than the major brands .
I personally have a mix of gear from majors or them .
Arb bar
Warn winch
Tjm rack

All quality for major components
As for bolt on stuff
Kings rear awning , can't fault it at $70 ( got a iron man side awning , cheapest at time of purchase.
Compressor $99 , been pumping up 8 tyres every month for a couple of years now
Action camera $40 , good enough for me ,
Just my thoughts 😉

After 8 months of use the Dashcam is still working. GPS is still sh*t. Found another downside, NO inbuilt battery so have to reset the date & time & other settings if not used for a few weeks.

I know that the Dashcam is a copy of another model. The real one has an inbuilt battery, dual card slots, inbuilt DVR & the GPS probably works. They sell for around 3 times the price. Get what you pay for I suppose. Have bought an Action Cam off them 6 months ago, similar to a GoPro. Not bad for a $40 camera, video quality is OK, not as good as they claim it is on their ad. Will do for out of vehicle recording & for the money not too concerned about it getting damaged or lost.

Only real problem with the supercentre is if you have a problem trying to contact them , their customer service is second only to Telstra .
Yes the do have some crappy stuff but if you read the various forums or google problems with the product you want you can at least decide wether or not to go cheap or big brand , their Draws are a good example , loose bolts etc just means checking them all before installing and the side wings for the GQ wouldn't clip in .
Just a case of undoing two screws and moving the clips about 10mm towards the back , seen many that cracked the shits and sent draws back over this problem but so easy to fix .
The first side awning I had from them was a bit shit but the latest bigger one is much better in construction and easier to setup .
The double thumper air compressor for the price is streets ahead of any competitor .
Saving a few bucks here gives you more spend for importatant stuff .
