REDTIGER F7NP 4K Dual Dash Cam with 3.16-inch Screen: specs explained

The REDTIGER F7NP is a front-and-rear dash cam. The front camera records up to 4K, the rear camera records 1080P, and a 3.16-inch IPS screen shows the picture. It adds GPS, WiFi and parking monitoring. Here is what each feature means and what to confirm before buying.

Dual recording

REDTIGER lists 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) for the front camera and Full HD 1080P for the rear. Greater resolution helps with reading details such as road signs and number plates, within the limits of light and speed. The front lens has a 170-degree view and the rear lens 140 degrees, which REDTIGER says reduces blind spots.

Lens and low-light performance

REDTIGER cites an F1.5 aperture and a six-layer lens with HDR and WDR. A large aperture admits more light, while HDR and WDR balance bright and dark areas of a scene. Together, they aim to keep detail visible at dusk and at night, although results vary with street lighting and weather.

The 3.16-inch IPS screen

The screen lets you aim the camera, play back clips and change settings without a phone. IPS panels typically keep a wide viewing angle, which helps when the screen is seen from the driver's seat. The camera measures about 1.6 x 3.1 x 2.4 inches (4 x 8 x 6 cm), and the listing gives its weight as 1.4 lb (about 0.6 kg).

WiFi, app and GPS

With the "Redtiger" app on iOS or Android, you can view, play back and manage the camera over WiFi, and download and edit clips. Built-in GPS records route, speed and location. REDTIGER says you can follow your route on a map through the app or with its Windows and Mac GPS player.

Loop recording, G-sensor and parking mode

Loop recording overwrites the oldest footage when the card is full. When the G-sensor detects a sudden collision, it locks and saves the clip. REDTIGER also lists a 24-hour parking monitor with a time-lapse mode, noting that a hardware kit is needed. The listing mentions a free 32GB card; note that 4K footage fills a card of that size quickly, so loop recording will overwrite older clips more often.

Warranty

REDTIGER lists a one-year warranty, a satisfaction guarantee and technical support by email.

Who it suits

It suits drivers who want front and rear coverage with a screen on the unit itself and the option of phone control, and those planning a hardwired install for parking mode.

What to check before you buy

• Hardware kit: parking mode needs one, and it is not part of the listing.
• Card size: consider how many hours the included card holds and when to replace it.
• Rear cable: confirm it reaches the back of your vehicle.
• Screen: check where the camera will sit so the screen is easy to reach.
• Local rules: laws on mounting and recording differ by region.

The short version

• A dual dash cam with 4K front (170°) and 1080P rear (140°) recording.
• F1.5 aperture lens with HDR and WDR, plus a 3.16-inch IPS screen.
• WiFi app control, built-in GPS, loop recording and a collision-lock G-sensor.
• 24-hour parking mode with time-lapse that needs a hardware kit; a one-year warranty is listed.
