Dash camera - recording from the moment the engine turns over

A compact camera for the windscreen that starts recording as soon as you start the car. The wide-angle lens takes in the full width of the road, low light included. With the car parked, it wakes up when something moves in frame.

Why choose this dash camera?

Things on the road happen too fast to reconstruct afterwards from memory. A camera running continuously captures the run-up to a moment, not only how it ended. Footage lands on a microSD card you read out on a computer.

• HD resolution: plates and lane markings stay readable on playback.
• Wide-angle lens: takes in more of the carriageway than what lies straight ahead.
• Motion detection: wakes when something moves past the parked car.
• Loop recording: the oldest footage is overwritten, so the card never fills up.
• Low-light capture: stays usable at dusk and on lit roads.

Every trip on file, without you pressing anything.

Stick the mount centered behind the mirror so the camera stays out of your line of sight. Power comes from the 12V socket; the internal battery only bridges short gaps in supply. A microSD card up to 64 GB is sold separately and should be formatted in the device on first use.
