I’m leaving this review for anyone considering buying the Maxcam 360. If you’re looking for an $850 radar detector then go ahead and buy it. But if you’re looking for a functional dash cam, definitely do not. Sure, the camera records onto the microSD card but accessing clips through the app is absolutely non-functional. I literally cannot see how anyone tested this app before releasing it because the functionality is simply not there, as if it was never even attempted. There are no thumbnails of the clips, the dates and times are all completely wrong, and downloading them to your phone does not work unless you want a very blurry lo-res video.
I also get over speed alerts from the app even though I have that setting turned off in the app and on the radar itself. I can’t access the firmware updates because it tells me the server is never available. Settings that I change via the app sometimes don’t load into the radar itself. The list goes on…
The entire point of having a dash cam is being able to access the clips immediately in the event of an accident or an incident on the road where you need some sort of evidence. If you can’t do that then this entire unit serves no purpose at all. If this can’t be fixed by the time my return window is over I will definitely be returning the unit.
Sorry, I’ve been a very long time loyal Escort radar user, but if this can’t be fixed I may have to look elsewhere in the future. 👎🏼

Plain and simple that app does not work at all . I was convinced by your technician that my m-1 was broke and I shouldn’t use . So like a kid on a candy shop I bought the new one and once again junk . I have purchased probably 20 detectors over the years and this will be the last time .why would you put a app that you have so many complaints out there and say nothing to your customers upon purchase . . I’ve lost total faith on escort and their product . I wasted my time trying and trying to work and nothing . M-1 was crap m-2 is crap Next . Also your sales men acted like I was getting a special discount when it’s the same discount you give everyone who buys this . Now I will waste my time calling tomorrow only to get more aggravated . I would of been better off buying another brand of camera separate . That actually works . It was cheaper .

I drive ride share, I bought this duel direction SC201 because of the apps ability to upload to cloud. 1. I updated firmware on Feb 21-22 to latest. 2. It connected fine (for about 3 minutes) and then the app froze. I restarted the phone to refresh it and see if the “app?” Would function. The last image was still on screen frozen, and the app was not connected to the camera. And multiple attempts did nothing. I deleted the app and now just bought 3 more so cards to allow for 10 hrs of drive time a day. Hopefully the app developers will get it right. Drivers are getting killed and hope that when we go to work that if that would happen at least there would be a way to solve it based on cloud backup.
