NAVITEL R980 4K car camera
Quality images with compromises The NAVITEL R980 4K impresses at first glance with its sleek design and promise of high-end 4K recording. Unfortunately, in practice, the camera faces several problems that make it a less appealing choice than it might seem. Picture page: Pros:
The detailed 4K resolution (3840x2160p) captures even small details such as license plates and road signs.
The wide 140° angle of view covers the scene in front of the car and to the sides.
High-quality night recording thanks to the Sony IMX415 light sensor. Minuses:
Weaker image stabilization, which results in blurry shots on rough roads.
Recording in lower resolution (e.g. 1080p) does not deliver satisfactory quality, the image appears grainy. Features: Pros:
Integrated radar detector with warnings of fixed and mobile radars (unfortunately the database is not updated that often).
Wi-Fi connectivity for easy transfer of recordings to your phone.
GPS with "Navitel Navigator" function for navigation (GPS accuracy is unfortunately problematic). Minuses:
Parking mode does not work reliably, the camera does not start automatically when motion is detected. And all this is assuming that you buy the NAVITEL SMART BOX MAX cable, otherwise the parking mode does not work.
Controlling the camera using the touchscreen is not the most intuitive. GPS problems:
The biggest drawback of the camera is the non-functioning GPS. The signal is often lost, especially in cities or areas with dense development. This makes it impossible to use the navigation and radar detector functions reliably. In addition, the shielded front glass can make GPS reception even worse. Conclusion:
The NAVITEL R980 4K offers quality video recording, but GPS and control issues bring it down. If you are looking for a camera with reliable navigation and radar detection, this camera is unfortunately not a good choice. There are other models on the market that offer comparable image quality and features at a lower price. Recommendation:
Before buying a NAVITEL R980 4K camera, read reviews carefully and consider alternatives. If quality video recording is your priority, a camera might be enough. However, if you also require reliable GPS functionality, I recommend choosing a different model.

Meets everything I require, easy operation of the camera and the application, good image quality, license plate readability depends on distance, visibility and mainly speed, playback of the record in the mobile phone is possible when connected to the camera via wifi, the record can be up to 8x speed or slowed to 0.125, the length of recording can be set from 1 minute to 10 minutes
simple and fast setting, Czech language
phone app, where I can also make settings, watch the recording or download the recording to my phone
magnetic holder
warned of a radar or railroad crossing 200 to 400 meters in advance
touchscreen, can take a photo or lock/save a record while driving, won't be overwritten until I delete it
radar warning only works in the direction of travel, if the radar is in the opposite direction and both directions are lowered, the camera does not warn about it
I miss the built-in USB/USB-C input of the car power adapter. In my car I have only one USB input and when driving in more people for a longer distance someone always wants to charge the mobile phone but without an adapter for splitting the car charger it is not possible

I recommend the camera due to the overall positive rating, except for the slower response to GPS speed changes I have nothing to complain about. The camera is easy to install, set up and operate. The mobile app lets you instantly view video and photo recordings, so you don't have to pull out your memory card and run to your PC. The video image corresponds to the claimed 4K quality, the image is not shaky. In my opinion, a good camera that meets my expectations.

Very intuitive installation and first start-up, everything can be set up very quickly on the camera itself thanks to the touch display, but I recommend immediately installing the application which has a very pleasant interface in which you can quickly orientate, because some buttons on the display can not be simply pressed. I recommend updating the camera firmware first, then setup.
It holds very well on the glass, even on the vertical glass of the bus. The image quality in 4K is excellent and even in the dark or rain, I was pleasantly surprised how good the image is even if you drive directly into the sun. It is also not possible to play back footage from the camera without the app.

The camera is a quality product that is worth at least trying out. I am satisfied with the camera. Installing the camera and turning it on for the first time is absolutely no problem. The camera mount is very high quality and the camera can be removed without removing the mount thanks to the magnetic mount. The image quality is very good. The only thing that I take as a flaw is the warning of approaching radar, because the first time you get really scared and the second thing is the need to install the application for viewing videos from Navitel, without it does not start. But otherwise I am absolutely satisfied with the camera and it will definitely fulfill its purpose.

The camera arrived in a flash with the gift card. It was very easy to set it up on the glass, and it was just as easy to adjust the settings in the app. I more or less just turned up the sensitivity and set the speed display in the saved videos. I like that the camera alerts me to speed cameras, railways and some unexpected pedestrian crossings. And although it wasn't the purpose of the purchase, I would say I drive more carefully and obey the speed limit more because of her and her warnings. The picture and sound is also really good. For example, when I checked my speed after the PCR measurement, everything matched, every sign and RZ could be read and you could hear how my fake singing had died down and was replaced by my fear of a fine.

The camera has a nice look and feel, and it also has a sharp image, and although there is a little shake on the mount, there is no noticeable shake in the footage. I was a bit disappointed by the size of the camera or I expected it to be a bit smaller, on a smaller windshield in my opinion it can be a bit of a disadvantage. I also had a bit of a problem connecting to the GPS, but it all worked out. The installation was relatively simple. I only have comparisons with older cameras, so overall I can evaluate the camera positively. It fulfilled what I expected. The bonus was a gift in the form of an SD card.

The camera has a really sharp image and the license plate is clear from the video. The attachment to the glass is designed with a swivel suction cup so that the camera can be easily attached and removed. The touchscreen controls are completely intuitive. At the same time, it has a supercapacitor instead of a battery, so it should last much longer than a conventional battery.
quality design
excellent sharp image, license plate legibility

sometimes it doesn't want to catch the GPS or takes a long time to connect
