Compact dash camera

Overview

Day glare, night streets and torrential rain: we drove 2,000 test miles with this dash cam rolling, then pixel-peeped plates at every hour.

Plates stay readable at motorway distance, night mode is excellent, and parking surveillance caught a car-park bump — with the culprit’s plate.

  • Plate readability tested day and night
  • 2,000 miles across city, motorway and rain
  • Parking-mode bump detection verified
  • App clip downloads and install ease scored

The good and the not-so-good

What we liked

  • Hardwire kit costs extra
4.7
Our verdict

Your silent witness on every drive. Superb footage, painless install — the dash cam we trust with our own cars.
