FineVu GX33 vs. Momento M6 Dash Cam

When you search for dual dash cams online, hundreds of brands - from different countries of origin - will show on your screen. Two brands that you may encounter, especially if you’re from North America or Canada, are South-Korean brand FineVu and American brand Momento.

Let’s see which among its flagship 2-channel dash cam, the FineVu GX33 and the Momento M6, can give the drivers a finer moment in terms of capturing footage on the road.

The FineVu GX33 is the most recent addition to the FineVu Full HD lineup, launched by the South Korean manufacturer in February 2022. Ensuring all around coverage for your car, the GX33 is available in a two-channel configuration. Moreover, you can disable the rear-facing cam if you only want to use the front-facing cam.

A 2.1MP front cam captures 1080p Full HD video at 30FPS with a 132-degree wide-angle view. The FineVu GX33 is powered by an Allwinner V536 processor. The V536 is a high-performance processor from Allwinner that supports WDR, noise reduction, and other image enhancement algorithms.

Even though you won't get 4K UHD or 2K QHD, the FineVu GX33's performance is quite good for a Full HD. You get high-quality video that looks great on your smartphone and computer. In any lighting condition, the 2.1MP "/28" Sony Exmor R STARVIS image sensor captures stunning, full-color video that can visibly see license plates. The GX33 includes Auto Night Vision and HDR, which automatically adjust brightness and clarity.

With its Hardwiring Kit (or a dashcam battery pack such as the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8), the GX33 provides driver alert systems, various parking security options, including impact and motion detection, and Smart Time-Lapse.

The 2022 GX33 is equipped with a Power Saving Parking Mode that encompasses FineVu's advanced power consumption technology to keep the GX33's power consumption at 0.15 W, which is less than 5% of the regular parking mode's 4.1 W power consumption, providing up to 30 days of standby runtime.

Another additional feature is an AI Damage Detection 2.0 function, which is a game-changing feature for added peace of mind. Using high-resolution machine vision cameras and sensors, the AI Damage Detection from various angle scans the entire vehicle body structure to generate a computational representation of the vehicle and its damage.

The GX33 also offers ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance System, that can detect front vehicle motion and provide lane departure warning alerts. Its Speed Camera alert function provides seven types of camera information in voice guidance: speed camera, red light camera, speed limit camera, and average speed alert. It also has a Driving Rest Guide which sends you notifications when you need to take a break from driving.

Taking budget-friendly entry-level to a whole new level, the GX33 is FineVu's most affordable screenless Wi-Fi model, including a 32GB micro SD card, and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Rather than a screen, Momento has a Wi-Fi hotspot and a Momento App for iOS and Android devices that let you view footage in real time, download and edit recordings for direct social media uploads, and customize the resolution, motion sensor, and power cutoff settings for parking mode.

For added security, the M6's GPS antenna logs the vehicle's location and speed and stores the data alongside the video footage. The movable impact and motion sensors can be set to begin and end event recordings 15 seconds before and after the trigger. To ensure that you are never left stranded, the M6's parking mode automatically ends when the battery voltage reaches a predetermined threshold.

Momento includes a 32GB micro-SD memory card to get you going, and the system is compatible with Class 10 cards up to 256GB.
