  Review: Suaoki R800 dash cam (productReview)
  . What's it like? In the box, you get the camera itself along with an adhesive mount rather than a suction type (we searched online but couldn't find a suitable suction mount that would fit), plus a three-metre power cable with a moulded 12v power socket plug.  The R800 doesn't feel

  market. Over the past few years it’s been branching out and in 2015, it launched a range of dash cams. Today, it offers three different models. The camera tested here, the RBGDC50, is Ring’s mid-range dash cam. It’s not overly expensive, with a list price of £59.99, which means it's ideal

  Review: AUKEY DR01 dash camera (productReview)
  , no. But it is very good for the price. The Sony image sensor records at a maximum of 1080p (30fps), or at a faster 60fps and 720p. While this is good enough for the average buyer, Full HD recording can seem a little dated next to the Quad HD offered by some dash cameras. What's it like

  Review: Z-Edge Z3 Plus dashcam (productReview)
  . What is it like? The Z-Edge is lighter than most dashcams around, which doesn't give you an immediate impression of quality, not helped by the rather rattling nature of the buttons on the side. Straight out of the box, this doesn't feel like a camera that retails at £200, despite

  and even a reversing camera or dashcam (when fitted). In the box, you'll find the stereo itself, as well as a wiring loom to connect to your car (you'll probably need an adapter as well). There's a microphone (for handsfree calls), a USB extension (for connecting your phone) and a GPS antenna
