  Review: Viofo A129 Duo (productReview)
  However, despite the set-up being fairly simple, the wires protruding from the right side ports made the front camera difficult to place without it blocking part of the windscreen. It would make sense to have this set up in a left-hand drive car, however, if we were to place the dash cam on the right-hand side of our car so the wires could be clipped into the interior trim lining, it would distract us when we drive.

  Review: Hive Active Heating 2 (productReview)
  In fact, that's kind of the point. Scheduling is customisable so you can set different times for the heating or hot water to come on at different times. Or, for example, you can stop the heating coming on from your phone if you make last minute plans and don't want to pay to heat an empty house. The app is very easy to use, however, we did find the heating was on a few times when we didn't expect it to be - like the middle of summer.

  Review: Tado Smart Thermostat Starter Kit V3+ (productReview)
  With heating accounting for 60 per cent of the average household energy bill, Tado claims that its smart technology could save you up to 31 per cent on your annual heating costs. With a price tag of £199.99, the Tado smart thermostat could pay for itself within a few months.

  Review: Z-Edge T4 Dual dash cam (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/c208a9cd20bd4fe0858df956bf9118b8" /> There's a blue light at the front of the main camera that flashes - even when you're parked up. We're not quite sure what purpose this serves apart from telling any would-be thief that there's a dash cam sat in the windscreen of your car.

  Review: Oxford Stormex motorcycle cover CV330 (productReview)
  There are loops for chain locks through the front and rear wheels too, which come in very handy. The inner lining is also heat resistant in case it touches a hot exhaust, though Oxford says this is for  'momentary contact'.

  Review: Aukey DR02 dash cam (productReview)
  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. It is sold through Amazon and retails at £99.99, but offers will often bring it significantly below that. The company is better known for in-car chargers, but the DR02 features elements from other well-known names – Sony has provided the Exmor Sensor, while the camera is held in place on the windscreen thanks to 3M pads.

  Review: Anker Roav dash cam (productReview)
  The only problem with the system is the sticky mounts. Indeed, they're very difficult to move from car to car and even those with strong arms will struggle to remove the mount from the windscreen If a discreet installation isn’t important to you, an Aukey DR-01 dash camera will record similarly crisp footage and costs £10 less – although the construction of the unit itself isn’t as sturdy or as high in quality.

  Review: Nextbase 512GW and 512GWRC dual dash cam (productReview)
  At the time of writing, the 512GW (£120) and rear cam (£35) together are £155, which isn't bad for a front and rear camera that record onto one SD card. The simplicity and quality of both cameras are good, but the thick wire that connects the cameras is a little bit tricky to run around the headlining of the car.

  Review: YI Smart dash cam (productReview)
  This consists of a lane departure warning and a forward collision warning. They work by a nalysing the speed and the distance of the vehicle in front and will alert you if you stray from your lane or get to close to the car in front. Does it work? Not really. It warns you so often that you soon ignore it, for instance, the lane departure warning alert will go off when you approach a junction.

  Review: Nextbase 512G dash cam (productReview)
  This is perhaps the most important feature of a dash camera – if the sky is particularly bright it’s quite possible for footage of the road ahead to come out very dark, while at night the glare from headlights will often obscure the number plates of cars in front. There are no such issues with the 512G, which works well regardless of whether it’s day or night.  

  Review: Peugeot Metropolis 400i RXR 2017 Road Test (productReview)
  Only some car licences, though. If you passed after January 19 2013 you’re out of luck, since the law changed then to clarify what driver's licence categories meant across the European Union. So, instead of trikes being reagarded as cars they became motorcycles.

  Review: Piaggio MP3 300ie Yourban 2016 (productReview)
  It’s much more stable than a two-wheel scooter though, which inspires confidence on poor surfaces or in windy, wet conditions. The wide front and big screen keep rider dry and warm, too – though heated grips would be handy in winter.

  Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
  Including the Allure there are five variants in total.  The model tested here is the Evasion, which has two-tone paint, a dual seat, a front luggage carrier and a windscreen, but there’s also a Sport, with number graphics and a pared-back look, an S with a single seat and matt black paint and a Heritage, with more muted, pastel colours.

  Review: Piaggio Medley 125 2016 (productReview)
  It has a large, 16-inch front wheel so it rides over potholes and lumps that small-wheel scooters uncomfortably bounce through, while power delivery is extremely smooth, making for relaxed riding. It’s not particularly quick to pick up pace from a standstill, but it has a surprisingly good top speed of more than 60mph.

  Review: Char-Broil All-Star 120 B-Gas BBQ (productReview)
  On top of the grill is a heat-retaining, cast aluminium lid with a thermometer on the front so you can get the grill up to the exact temperature you want (up to 350°C) before you start grilling. Char-Broil recommends cleaning the infrared sheet after each use to prevent a build up of grease.

  Review: Nextbase 222 dash camera (productReview)
  There is however a much improved magnetic mount, plus both an adhesive and suction mount included, giving you the choice of how to attach it your windscreen. The Intelligent Parking Mode switches on automatically when the car ignition is turned off and will record for three minutes if the G sensor registers any movement.  Nextbase also offers cloud storage, so you can easily send your files to other parties, such as the police or insurance.

  Review: Mio MiVue 688 dash camera (productReview)
  width=500&height=375" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/84592cfc4565467985496ae6c2bab490" /> The dash camera comes with a long in-car power/charging wire and a suction cup to fit the mount to the windscreen. Getting the MiVue 688 out of its sliding mount is relatively easy, however, getting the device back in is slightly more difficult because of the small attachments.

  Review: EZVIZ S2 action camera (productReview)
  When used as a dash camera, EZVIZ claims the S2 has a proximity alarm to tell you when you're too close to the vehicle in front, speed limit alert to warn you when you exceed the speed limit and emergency recording — which prevents footage that's captured during a collision from being accidentally deleted. However, when we tried to fix it onto our windscreen, the first issue we noticed was that there's no suction mount like most dash cameras offer.

  Review: Roadhawk HD-2 dash camera (productReview)
  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. It’s provided with an exceptionally long power cord, which can be neatly routed around the windscreen with provided wire clips.

  Review: Mio MiVue 792 Wifi Pro (productReview)
  There are also a few technical elements that bump up the price and Mio even says that the 792 will be able to offer several of the safety features found on modern, well-equipped cars. It will warn you if you are showing signs of being too tired, if you are drifting out of your lane and if you are in danger of crashing into the car in front. It does this by combining the camera image with the internal GPS system.
