  Review: Vantrue OnDash N2 dash cam (productReview)
  In dual-camera mode, the resolution is reduced but, even so, in this configuration both cameras produce suitably clear, vibrant footage. That said, the rear-view camera can sometimes overexpose what’s outside the car – but not to the extent that the clip is rendered unusable.

  Review: Nextbase 312GW dash cam (productReview)
  However, the benefits of having a GPS receiver are worth the extra cash, in our opinion – making the 312GW our top choice of dash camera on sale today.
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  The power lead goes to the mount rather than the dash cam and with one ball type adjustor, it's easy to get the camera in the right place without having to adjust various tighteners. The clever bit is the magnetic connector which means you can easily take off the camera without having to remove the mount. This also creates a sturdy fit so there's no camera shake or vibration transmitted through to the camera when driving.

  The GPS tracking also provides accurate location and speed details, while the WiFi function hooks the camera to a smartphone for mobile video playback and quick downloads. The driver aids include pre-installed safety speed camera locations, digital speedo and a parking function that will record footage when the vehicle is unattended.

  Review: Garmin Nuvicam LMT-D (productReview)
  What is it? It’s a large, clear, feature-packed sat nav system with a built in dash camera. That’s a clever combo, really – dash cameras are becoming more and more popular, so combining one with another essential in-car gadget makes sense, plus it means the dash camera can record extra information like location and speed – typically the reserve of pricier standalone cameras.

  Review: Aukey DR02 dash cam (productReview)
  What is it? The DR02 is the midpoint of the Aukey dash camera range, but said range is simple and easy to understand. Below this is the DR01, while the range-topping DR02D consists of a DR02 with an extra rear-facing camera. In short, therefore, this is the best front-facing dash camera that Aukey makes.

  Review: Nextbase 222 dash camera (productReview)
  It means you can easily remove the camera from the mount - useful if you want to keep it out of sight when parked or if you want to get some footage off it. The magnetic connector makes for a very sturdy connection and, along with the new mount, it means a more secure fit and less camera shake on the move.

  Top 10: Helmet cams for horse riders (Article)
  TechPlus 4K 12MP Action Camera This action cam is available in two versions, but we’ve gone for the higher specification 4K model which still comes in at under £45. Better still, it comes with a stack of accessories and mounts, so you can choose temporary or semi-permanent methods of mounting the camera to your helmet.

  Review: Nextbase 612GW dash cam (productReview)
  Usefully, the charging cable goes into a socket on the clamp, rather than the camera, so you can unclip it without fiddling around with the cable. Annoyingly it is on the right side of the camera, though, which is less convenient for right-hand drive cars where the cable goes around the left of the cabin.

  Review: Garmin VIRB 360 (productReview)
  Most people know Garmin for its sat navs and, more recently, its range of fitness products. But Garmin also supplies action cameras, like this 360-degree camera. Technology like this is expensive, but Garmin reckons its VIRB 360 — which retails for around £650 — hits the sweet spot between amateur enthusiast and serious filmmaker.

  Review: Garmin 55 dash cam (productReview)
  Like most dash cameras, it records in a continuous loop - so you'll need to save any footage you want to keep or it'll be overwritten by new footage. This can then be viewed on the dash camera itself or on a computer later.

  Review: Garmin 66W (productReview)
  These include forward collision warning   alerts if you drive too closely to the car ahead, lane departure warnings and Go alerts - which notify you when traffic ahead of your vehicle is moving again. The dash cam also provides speed camera and red light camera alerts via subscription-free updates on the Garmin Drive app . It beeps if you go over the speed limit too. As with most dash cameras, the Garmin 66W doesn't include a microSD so you'll need to buy one separately if you want to use it straight out of the box.

  We like its blend of high-quality footage - m aximum resolution is 1440p at 30fps, but it will also shoot in 1080p at a faster 60fps -  ease of use and Wifi connectivity that allows you to view clips on a phone. You can also add a rear camera, called the 512GWRC (GPS WiFi Rear Camera), which costs £50 (although it's about £30  

  Review: Viofo A139 Pro dash cam (productReview)
  There is of course the issue of wires. Having a rear camera requires a long cable to connect it to the main dash cam, which is why we recommend getting the A139 Pro professionally hardwired in. There are alternatives, like the rear facing camera Nextbase offers as an extra on dash cams like the Nextbase 322 GW , but these don't capture as much as a dedicated rear camera.

  Review: Nextbase 412GW dash cam (productReview)
  Things like GPS tracking, speed stamping, car licence plate details and audio recording can be configured quickly. The 412GW has touch sensitive buttons, unlike other Nextbase cameras, but they are responsive and illuminate when in use. The 412GW works like any other dash camera, switching on when it gets power and then automatically recording short clips until full. It then loops over old footage, so it’s always on.

  Review: Mio MiVue C570 (productReview)
  Overall, it looks cheap - especially compared to the metal bodies of new Nextbase and Garmin dash cameras. This obviously isn't ideal for a camera that's going to set you back over £100, but it's what's inside that counts...

  Top 10: Best sat navs of 2020 (Article)
  As well as being a serviceable sat nav with maps of Europe and lifetime updates, and lifetime safety camera warning updates, it also features a high-quality dash cam. The camera will capture incidents automatically and also adds lane departure and collision warning features, further increasing the Mio’s appeal.

  Review: Azdome GS63H (productReview)
  We've been using the latter (with a 64GB capacity) in it and it's proved faultless so far - we've not had the camera freeze or crash. The same can't be said for many other dash cams we test... So what about the quality of the footage? Well as you can see from the clip below, in its highest resolution setting of 2880 x 2160p at 24fps the quality is very impressive indeed, especially so when you remember this is a camera that's priced at just £60.

  Review: 70mai 4K Omni dash cam (productReview)
  While the screen is pretty small, you can view the camera through the 70mai app, where you can also set-up the rear camera and download footage. You can see what's included in the box below. You can buy accessories such as a hardwire kit (£42) and polarising filter (£25) separately from 70mai.

  Review: Mio MiVue J60 dash camera (productReview)
  What is it? The J60 is the cheaper offering in Mio's J-Series range of dash cameras, sitting at about £120 (£30 cheaper than the J85) on Amazon currently. The dash cam features high-quality footage, WiFi, GPS, safety speed camera warnings and a few Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) - like Lane Departure warnings.
