  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.

  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.

  Review: Mio MiVue 766 WiFi dash cam (productReview)
  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).

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
