There are also a wealth of features to consider, including a touchscreen display, a companion app, GPS, parking surveillance, voice control, sat nav and what3words to name but a few. e.g. If, a second impact is detected 2 seconds from the first impact, 8 seconds are the duration of the second impact video). Setup was slightly fiddly and the 3-inch touchscreen does require obvious swipe inputs. We also had some trouble connecting to our smartphones to transfer video clips. That said, we still think the 622GW is a simple camera to use overall. We found its interface intuitive, while the display is big, sharp and clear. Footage is automatically saved when an incident is detected, while a big red button lets you manually save moments. GoPro cameras are some of the best action cameras you can buy. They can be easily mounted to your dashboard and set to record video on a rolling loop. Because GoPro cameras are compact, they shouldn’t obstruct your view of the road ahead, while the latest models are capable of capturing videos at resolutions sharper than 4K. Compatible with Android (7.0 Nougat or higher) and iOS (11.4 or higher) Play & Record Videos and Manage Settings On Smartphone

We’re seeing more dash cams these days with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or even 4G connectivity, enabling you to sync videos wirelessly, review your footage, or get a live view on your smartphone. Some companion apps enable you to sync multiple dash cams wirelessly; you can have one at the front and one at the rear, without a cable connecting the two (although both will have to be powered). Many allow you to use voice commands for control. Energy Saving Mode reduces power consumption by 1/3 less and gives 3x longer video recording than normal parking mode. Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. The CMOS Image Sensors allow constant front and rear-view 1080P Full HD resolution recording during both daytime and night-time.

Strong impact videos are recorded for 20 seconds (10 second before and after the incident) at 30 frames per second. As well as GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the Nextbase iQ is one of only a handful of dash cams to have its own 4G connection. This is provided by Vodafone in the UK and Europe and T-Mobile in the US, and is used to connect the dashcam to its own smartphone app and to Nextbase’s cloud storage service. The latest version features a two-part windscreen mount, enabling you to remove the Miofive when you’re at home or wouldn’t want it visible. That’s a good thing, since it uses 64GB of internal eMMC storage rather than a microSD card. As such, you either connect the dash cam to a computer to transfer and review your footage, or use the accompanying smartphone app. The app is easy to use and has built-in sharing features for uploading clips to Google Drive, OneDrive and other cloud storage services.

You don’t need a complex camera: Basic functionality is free, but you’ll need to pay subscription fees for the full set of Nextbase iQ features. While the Owlcam uses distinct front and rear cameras to cover the road and car's interior, the Waylens Secure360stitches together a single 360-defree view that can be seen as a VR-like "swipe around," a front or rear 180-degree view, or dual 180-degree views in horizontal split mode on the Secure360 app. While older models typically required the user to manually save or tag the appropriate clip in the event of an accident, new G-Sensor-based incident detection technology has taken over, and now takes care of this automatically. Key specs – Max video recording resolution: 1080p, 30fps; Field of view: 140°; Extra features: Accelerometer, Wi-Fi, BluetoothYou only need a simple setup: Its comprehensive feature list makes the Dual Dash Cam good value, but its skills will be overkill for many users.

The next live dash cam we are going to mention is the Podofo 4G dash camera. It is a dual camera that has a front and rear lens. The front camera is the 6G/1R, while the rear is H62 with the 1280P x 720P resolution. It also includes the photosensitive element, which provides a high-quality image on cloudy days or in low-light conditions. The front camera also has a panoramic fisheye lens which allows you to film the road in front and cabin in 5 directions at the same time. Capture settings can be tweaked via the touchscreen, but we found that it worked well right out of the box: results from both cameras were impressive, with plenty of crisp detail and decent dynamic range, even in dim and dark conditions. If you’re looking for a stress-free and reliable dash cam, the X1000 gets plenty right.One of the great features that come with this dash cam is that it supports live streaming anywhere in the US. You will get the built-in wifi which you can share with your passengers. That way you can transfer videos between devices via the mobile app. Aside from the wifi, you will get the 4G+3G network data to plan included. An SOS recording message includes a 10 second video (5 seconds before and after the incident) and location of the crash. Capable yet accessible, Thinkware’s X1000 comes bundled with everything you need to record front and rear. Our tests found a lot to like about the X1000. Its best attribute is its ease of use: with a large 3.5-inch touchscreen and icon-based interface, it’s simple to configure and there’s no need to rely on a smartphone partner app. You need the sharpest video: Footage shot by the A139’s front camera is serviceable, but it isn’t as sharp or smooth as some similarly priced rivals. A dash cam with 4G is just like the regular dash cam that is mounted on your windshield and used to record the road in front of you. However, these smart dashcams have built-in 4G LTE connectivity together with more common built-in wifi and Bluetooth features. 4G LTE feature will allow your camera to work independently of any phone or hotspot and be online continuously. That way these LTE dash cams will alert you when the car is moving and sent a live view to your phone if you want to see what is going on. What Are Some Other Features A 4G Dash Cam Has?
