Car DVR Dashcam

A dash camera that records both directions. Front and rear cameras run together, which matters because a significant share of road incidents happen behind you, and a front-only camera leaves you with no evidence of the one that did.

Video is 1080P HD, sharp enough that number plates stay readable in the footage, which is the only detail that counts when a recording is being used as evidence.

The built-in DVR records continuously in real time, so there is nothing to remember to switch on. It covers accident evidence, parking incidents, and simply keeping a record of a long drive.

The mirror-mounted design sits over the existing rear-view mirror rather than stuck to the middle of the windscreen, so it does not block your view and is not obvious from outside the car.

Sensible for daily commuters, anyone who parks on the street, and anyone who would rather have footage than an argument.

How to use

1. Fit the main unit over your existing rear-view mirror and connect it to power.
2. Mount the rear camera at the back of the vehicle and route its cable along the headlining and trim rather than across the cabin.
3. Insert a memory card so recording has somewhere to go.
4. Check both camera angles on screen before driving, and adjust so the front view sits with the horizon roughly a third from the top.
5. Recording starts automatically when the car is powered on. Save any clip you need before the card loops over it.

Care: keep the windscreen clean in front of the lens, and format the memory card periodically so recording stays reliable.
