A Closer Look


The camera unit is actually much smaller than I expected, and this is a very good thing as you don’t want a large obstruction in your view, as that would null most of the fact this is a safety feature more than anything. On the front, you’ll see some passive ventilation at the bottom to keep the unit cool, as well as a USB port for power, and a cutaway for mounting it.

Down one side, a master power button, as you may not always want it recording.

The screen is nice and large,  offering you a nice and large 2.7″ extra wide touch screen panel. While I do not know the resolution of the display, I do know that the unit records at the very nice resolution of 2304 x 1296 @ 30fps, and given that the camera has a very low f-stop of just 1.8, it should have pretty solid low-light performance too.

A the rear side, a small release button, which will allow you to quickly undock the unit from your car. This makes sense, as it’s a valuable item and leaving it in view in your car isn’t always ideal as it could be a target for thieves. That being said, if your car has constant power options, you can have the unit recording even when your car is parked.

On the base, you’ll find a microSD card slot.

There’s an 8GB card pre-installed, but you could upgrade this if you felt the need.

The 4MP wide-angle lens is mounted nice and low, so should offer a good range when mounted at the top of your windscreen. The car mount also has some angle adjustment, though, so you should be able to find that perfect setup for your car with relative ease.

As we said before, this unit is pretty small, small enough to fit in your hand. It has a nice weight to it, and it feels pretty durable too.
