This is a deliberate move to limit driver distraction, so instead there are a few buttons to adjust settings, and you can take more control via the Thinkware smartphone app. Thinkware’s dash cams are shaped differently to most others, and despite being expensive the Q800 Pro does not have a display. It can also be set to sound an alert when the car ahead moves away and you haven’t noticed. The camera also offers advanced night vision capabilities, shoots through a 140-degree lens, and has integrated GPS.īy understanding the movements and distance of the vehicle ahead, the camera can also warn you if it thinks you are going to crash into the car in front.

A LCD display screen lets you use video playback to review your footage. Built in GPS receiver helps you to pinpoint the exact location of incidents when making an insurance claim.

It records in 1080p HD and has a 140-degree lens. The (optional) rear view camera connects to the front camera, comes with a long cable for routing through the vehicle, and attaches to the rear screen with an adhesive pad on a magnetic mount. Only the clunky smartphone app lets it down, but using this isn’t compulsory. Video quality is superb and the camera is easy to set up thanks to a smart magnetic windscreen mount with integrated GPS. The Nextbase 622GW is a fully-fledged 4K dash cam with powerful features like image stabilisation, Alexa, What3Words and SOS emergency response. And given that you don’t want to be doing anything distracting with your hands or eyes while driving, this is one situation when voice control really is handy.

It's a fairly large unit, and there are definitely smaller options available on this list, but if this doesn't bother you then it's highly recommended. Just stick it to your rear screen and forget about it.Ī suite of handy features like GPS, speed-camera detection and average speed warnings make the Thinkware U1000 a tempting proposition for the vast majority of users. It's also a pleasingly compact and unobtrusive unit, so won't be distracting or get in the way. This is a setup with an optional rear camera it shoots 2K 1440p at 30fps, and does so through a lens with a generous 156-degree field of view, giving you a wide latitude for seeing what's going on behind your vehicle. Both are great, although opting for the lower resolution and higher frame rate might make it easier to see detail in paused frames of the footage, and also keeps the file sizes lower. It can record footage in UHD 4K at 30fps, or 2K 1440p at silky-smooth 60fps. We'll start with the best of the best: a hugely impressive piece of kit that gets our top-spot recommendation.
