What to check before buying this four channel dash cam
Your car's power outlet location and the path for a rear camera cable matter more than price here. The N5 must get power from the included cigarette lighter charger; a USB or Type-C cable will not work. The rear camera also has to be wired to the front unit, so plan how the cable will reach from the windshield to the back window.
We'd consider the N5 if you want front, rear, side and interior coverage and your car has an accessible power outlet near the dash. If you need GPS data or a truly wireless rear camera, we'd skip it because this model has neither.

What the IIWEY N5 will not do for you
This camera records video and saves clips when the G-sensor detects a sudden impact, but it does not diagnose a mechanical problem or guarantee safe driving. Parking mode needs the separately sold hardwire kit, and without it the N5 cannot watch your car while the engine is off. The supercapacitor handles heat better than a battery, yet the camera still needs a constant power source while in use.
Parking mode requires the optional hardwire kit, ASIN B0DHJNRPB9.
No GPS means no speed or location overlay on recordings.

At $93.49, the N5 is about $12.29 below the typical price over the last 90 days of $105.78. That makes it a reasonable value if the four-camera coverage matches your parking and driving needs. The bundle includes a 128GB microSD card, so you won't need to buy storage right away. The card slot supports up to 256GB if you want to upgrade later.
Power and mounting points to confirm
Confirm that your power outlet stays live when the car is off if you want parking mode; otherwise you'll need the hardwire kit, which taps a constant fuse. The front bracket tilts 90 degrees and the rear camera rotates 360 degrees, so check that your windshield and rear glass angles allow a clear view after adjustment.
The side cameras rely on a 150-degree lens, and the front and rear use 170-degree lenses. Make sure your mounting spots aren't blocked by tint bands, wipers or a dotted shade area.
Who should choose or skip this dash cam
Choose the IIWEY N5 if you want all-around coverage without adding separate cameras, and you're willing to plug into the cigarette lighter and run a rear cable. The built-in WiFi and free app let you preview and download clips from an Android or iOS phone. Skip it if you need GPS, Bluetooth, or a parking monitor that works without the extra hardwire kit. Your last check is whether your power outlet and rear cable route make the install practical for your car.
