  Review: Nextbase Duo dash cam (productReview)
  It’s a dashcam with a twist – there are two lenses, one for looking forward and one for looking back. Typically dash cameras only have one lens, meaning you need two separate cameras if you want to monitor the road both ahead and behind at once. On the Nextbase Duo, both of the cameras record together, with the saved footage showing front and rear side by side.

  Crosstour Action Camera 1080p The downside of using a standard action camera on your motorcycle helmet is that they are less aerodynamic than bullet cams, but the upsides are plentiful.

  Review: Viofo A129 Duo (productReview)
  What is it? The A129 Duo is a dual dash camera from Viofo, which is the same company that manufactures the popular A119 dash cam . The A129 Duo captures footage in 1080P at 30fps - in both front and rear camera - which is better than the average 720p for a rear camera.

  Review: Mio MiVue 658 WiFi dash camera (productReview)
  The integrated three-axis sensor records the G-force and also shows the direction and force of the impact. You can also use the dash camera to take photos and then save to your smartphone via the WiFi.  As well as recording your journeys, the camera displays your vehicle's speed and warns about any oncoming safety cameras.

  Review: Anker Roav dash cam (productReview)
  One of the most useful features is the camera's parking mode, which switches the camera on the moment the built-in G sensor detects an impact. Obviously, this won’t capture everything in the event of damage or an accident – it depends on the angle the car is hit from, etc - but it is a handy feature and the battery should keep the camera active for days at a time.

  Review: Roadhawk Vision dash camera (productReview)
  It comes with two mounting options – a suction cup or an adhesive pad. Opting for the adhesive pad doesn’t mean the camera is a permanent fixture, though – the camera itself can be detached from the mount easily to be hidden out of sight. Cleverly, the mount enables the camera to rotate through 360 degrees – so if you drive a truck or coach with a flat windscreen the Vision is very easy to set up.

  Review: Z-Edge T4 Dual dash cam (productReview)
  Just put it at the top of your rear screen and feed the wire through to the front camera. There are also some cable clips included, which although a little flimsy, do the job. Only the front camera needs power, the rear one runs off it via a lengthy (and rather stiff) cable. It's the same with the SD card - both record to the one memory card in the front camera which means that once the rear camera is fitted, you don't need to access it.

  That said, we found the fatigue monitor to be useful on long trips. The camera emits a loud beep if it notices the car being driven erratically or drifting in and out of motorway lanes.  Due to its small size, the camera doesn't have much of a battery life when you disconnect it from the 12V power socket, but you can attach an additional power supply to use the in-built park record function.

  Review: Thinkware F70 dash camera (productReview)
  Once you have the programme on your computer, you can alter the dash cam's settings — like brightness levels, language options, safety camera alerts and parking mode. The programme looks a bit old school, but it works just fine and downloads quickly. You can use PC Viewer to update the software and speed camera database, so the mobile safety camera zones and speed camera alerts are up to date.

  Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 (productReview)
  And, while taking aerial shots of your roast dinner for Instagram is nothing to be ashamed of, you might soon tire of the image quality of your mobile phone, as well as the huge chunk of memory you'll lose to pictures. That's why bridge cameras, like the Sony DSC-H400, are so popular. In fact, bridge cameras were originally called that because they 'bridged' the gap in the market between pricier, feature-laden DSLRs (Digital Single-lens Reflex cameras) and point-and-shoot cameras (also known as compacts).

  PARKVISION Reverse Camera This Parkvision camera is a little more expensive some of the other camera-only options listed here, but this model comes with an extra-wide field of vision of 172 degrees as well as a sensor designed to work well in low light conditions.

  Review: Abee M7 dash camera (productReview)
  If an accident is detected via the shock sensor, or if the emergency button is pressed, the camera will save that clip permanently and won’t overwrite it. It can also be set to record two or five minute loops, or it can be set to record non-stop until the memory card is full. Additionally the driver can tell the camera to stay switched on when the car is parked.

  Review: Ring RBGDC200 dash camera (productReview)
  That said, the power lead itself has an old fashioned DC connection at the camera end, instead of the usual Mini- or Micro-USB connector. That means finding a hard-wire kit is difficult. Once installed the dash camera works like any other. When it receives power it switches on and starts recording, then switches off again when power is cut.

  Dash Camera of the Year shortlist (Article)
  Its performance in dark conditions is also very good. Max resolution is  1920x1080 (1080p Full HD).  In dual-camera mode, the resolution is reduced - both cameras produce suitably clear but the rear-view camera can sometimes overexpose. The Vantrue OnDash N2 is a capable, straightforward and feature-packed dash cam that offers plenty of functionality for a sensible price.

  Top 10: Best dash cameras to suit all budgets (Article)
  Lanka HD The best way to describe this dash camera is 'cheap and cheerful'. If you're thinking of getting a dash camera, but you're not quite ready to take the plunge on a high-end model, this is a good introduction. Just don't expect the best footage, build quality or reliability.

  Review: EZVIZ S2 action camera (productReview)
  This happened multiple times... Ironically, the S2 would have scored higher if we were just rating it as an action camera. But considering it calls itself an action and dash camera, it lost some points for being fairly unfunctional as a dash cam. Should I buy one? If you're looking for a no-frills action camera then this model from EZVIZ is a good contender.

  Review: Roadhawk HD-2 dash camera (productReview)
  It’s also expensive at around £250, though Roadhawk pitches it as a high quality camera for professional drivers like truckers. What’s it like? The Roadhawk HD-2 comes in a sturdy cardboard package and is supplied with three different mounting options – a permanent windscreen mount that the camera unit clips into, a long-armed mount for flat windscreens like those in HGVs or buses, or a more traditional suction mount.

  As a result, if you’re looking for an affordable and serviceable dual-camera unit, the OnDash N2 should be on your list. The N2’s key feature is a wide-angle forward-facing camera that works in conjunction with an adjustable rear-facing camera. These allow it to capture a 310-degree view around the car, meaning all the evidence you need should be recorded in the case of an incident.

  Dash cam buying advice guide (Article)
  And, if you have to stop suddenly and get hit from behind, it could prove that someone was too close/tailgating you beforehand. The Nextbase 512GW and 512GW Rear Camera records the footage side-by-side onto a single SD card, while the  Z-Edge S3 is another decent dual dash cam option. However, it's worth watching sample footage on YouTube before buying because it's not uncommon for the rear camera to have lower resolution than the front camera.

  Review: Nextbase 512GW and 512GWRC dual dash cam (productReview)
  There are plenty of things to adjust, including settings for the frame rate and resolution, as well as switching audio recording on and off or setting a number plate for the camera car. Things like parking mode, which records for a predetermined period of time when the car is parked, can be switched on and off too. Setting up the camera is easy – the Click and Go mount, which features the GPS, hooks up to the power so the dash camera can be removed from the car without moving the wiring and mount or messing up that perfect camera angle.
