The Mangoal OEM MG-006C-1BA is a dual dashcam kit featuring front 4K and rear Full HD cameras, powered via your vehicle’s OBD port rather than the traditional cigarette-lighter cable. The unit comes with a 128GB microSD card, adhesive mounting, and uses the SkyCamm mobile app (iOS/Android) for setup, live view, and playback.
Mangoal, founded in 2013, specialises in OEM dash cams and wireless chargers compatible with over 15+ global car brands and 1,000+ models. Their devices hold CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications.
Installation & App (SkyCamm)
The installation process was more straightforward than expected. Using the OBD connector eliminates the need to hardwire into the fuse box or battery. Cables tucked away cleanly, creating a professional, near-invisible finish — a big plus over suction-cup models.
⚠️ Tip: Always check your vehicle model before purchasing the OBD cable — some cars (e.g., Mazda 6) may require specific connectors.
The SkyCamm app connects via Wi-Fi (not your home network). It’s user-friendly, offering live viewing, video downloads, and configuration for recording resolution, loop duration, and voice alerts. Tutorials show car-specific installation steps, making the setup accessible even for first-time installers.
Camera Quality & Footage Analysis
Testing covered day and night recording on an Android phone (downloaded footage), and viewed on a Windows laptop, and a 55-inch 4K television.
The front camera produced sharp, true-4K imagery (3840 × 2160 px), while the rear unit, though advertised as 2K, recorded at Full HD (1920 × 1080 px) — still clear but worth noting.
| Camera | Resolution (H × V) | Megapixels | Common Name | Notes | Average File Size (1 min) | 128 GB Storage |
| Front 4K UHD | 3840 × 2160 | 8.3 | Ultra HD (4K) | Manufacturer spec confirmed | 130 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) | ≈ 16.8 hours |
| Rear “2K” / FHD | 1920 × 1080 | 2.1 | Full HD (1080p) | Records below 2K spec | 58 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) | ≈ 37.7 hours |
| Front + Rear | – | – | Dual recording | Combined total | 188 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) | ≈ 11.6 hours |
Visual results:
- Daytime: Excellent sharpness and licence-plate legibility even at distance.
- Night: Clear and well-balanced exposure, maintaining visibility in low light.
- Playback: Crisp and stable across devices, minimal compression artefacts.
- Storage: Efficient loop recording; G-sensor reliably locks collision footage.
Overall, the footage quality outperforms many mid-range dash cams, particularly for the 4K front lens.
Strengths
- True 4K front camera delivers crisp, high-detail footage.
- Clean, wire-free installation using OBD power.
- Free SkyCamm app is intuitive and feature-rich.
- 128 GB card included (a welcome bonus).
- Dual-channel continuous recording with event lock.
Limitations
- Rear camera records at Full HD, not the advertised 2K.
- 1-year warranty feels short for the price bracket.
- Adhesive mount makes repositioning difficult once fixed.
Verdict
The Mangoal MG-006C-1BA dash cam kit stands out for its 4K front recording, discreet OBD installation, and simple app control. While the rear camera isn’t true 2K and the warranty is modest, the overall package offers excellent visual quality and seamless installation.
Based on TechBuzz Ireland’s real-world testing, a 128GB card provides around 11 hours of dual-camera footage before automatically overwriting older files — typical behaviour for continuous loop recording. This is ideal for drivers seeking a permanent, tidy setup with reliable 4K recording.
