iZEEKER iD240 dash cam review

Overview

The iZEEKER iD240 is a budget front-facing dash cam with 2.5K QHD recording, Wi-Fi and smartphone app access. It ranks #10 in our list of the top 10 best-selling dash cams on Amazon UK, with a score of 7.4/10. That puts it below the iZEEKER GD100, our higher-ranked budget pick, and far behind the GKU D600, which leads the list overall. The iD240’s appeal is its straightforward feature set at a low-cost end of the market, rather than a particularly strong overall score. One important catch: the standard package does not include the microSD card required to record, so factor in buying a suitable card before you can use it.

Features and specification

The camera records at 2560×1440, or 1440p at 30 frames per second. The listing gives the lens field of view as 160° in one place and 170° in another, so the stated angle is inconsistent. Its F1.8 aperture and WDR are claimed to help balance footage in low or changing light, but results will depend on conditions and the footage should not be treated as guaranteed evidence of every detail.

Wi-Fi connects to the Viidure app for live viewing, playback, downloads and settings. It is a local connection, not internet access, and the listing advises connecting to the camera’s Wi-Fi before opening the app. Loop recording overwrites older unlocked files when the card fills; the G-sensor can lock clips after an impact. Parking monitoring is supported only with a separately purchased, compatible hardwire kit. The listing also states a two-year warranty. Check card compatibility and the kit requirements before buying.

What owners say

Owners commonly praise the compact size, simple installation and automatic recording when the car starts. Several say the footage is good for the price and that app access makes it easy to view or download clips when needed. These are owner impressions, not a guarantee that number plates will always be readable, particularly at night or in poor weather.

Complaints are less consistent, but some owners describe app connection or setup as less intuitive. Others report the G-sensor locking too many clips, which can use storage and create repeated voice prompts; lowering its sensitivity or switching it off may help, although disabling it removes automatic impact locking. Some reviews mention receiving a memory card, but the listing says it is not included in the standard package, so do not assume one will arrive.

Who should buy it

The iZEEKER iD240 may suit drivers who want a discreet, budget front camera with 2.5K recording and are comfortable setting up Wi-Fi and an app. It makes most sense if you already own a compatible microSD card and only need basic recording, rather than a full-featured connected system. If you want parking monitoring, allow for the additional cost of a compatible hardwire kit and consider whether you are happy with a wired installation.

Skip it if you want a complete out-of-the-box kit, dislike app-based setup, or need dependable parking surveillance without extra accessories. Overall, the iD240 offers a useful specification for its budget position, but the missing card and potential setup frustrations make it a conditional buy rather than an easy recommendation.
