Pros
The Wi-Fi DR500GW-HD is a compact device
and it’s easy to learn and use the product. There's no LCD screen this is done
with your smartphone device. This unit works well in daylight with good
quality. There’s an easy on/off button and you can use it in hot weather
because it has venting holes to keep the heat out of the Wi-Fi DR500GW-HD unit.
The voice notifications are a handy feature to use. It’s fun to view the
recordings you make on your smartphone.
Cons
The quality of the unit is quite good but
the Wi-Fi DR500GW-HD could use some improvement. Overall the quality isn't too
bad and you do get your money's worth. There are a couple of glitches with the
firmware but hopefully these will be resolved soon. The unit costs quite a bit
so it's not the ideal device for everyone. The sticks on clips aren’t the best
and suction cups or something else to attach the device might be better.

Verdict
Overall this is a good DVR recorder and you'll get a lot of use out of it the price of the Wi-Fi DR500GW-HD is a bit high but it's not too bad considering all you get with this product. This unit does take good video so it's worth the price. The video could be slightly better but the quality is there and most people won't notice the difference in the video.
