–Awkward to install–No LCD screen–Poor low-light performance
A near twin to the Thinkware F50, the 70mai Dash Cam is a cheaper — if somewhat less friendly — alternative. The tubular camera keeps a low profile by eschewing an LCD screen, relying instead on an associated smartphone app and Wi-Fi connection for setup and operation. It also records 1080p video and uses a semipermanent flat, adhesive mount, making installation awkward, because once it’s stuck to your windshield, it offers minimal adjustments.
To keep the price down, there’s no memory card, and the microSD slot placement means you have to unplug it whenever you want to insert or withdraw a card.
Unlike most of the dashcams we tested, the 70mai uses a standard USB cable with a detachable 12-volt adapter, so it can be plugged into any USB power source rather than just a cigarette-lighter plug. To facilitate hands-off operation, the 70mai supports a half dozen voice commands, including”take picture,””record video”and”record without sound.”Like the Thinkware model, a voice tells you whenever recording starts.
We found the video quality acceptable but at night license plates were illegible, and the camera did not do well in low-light conditions. Several features were not ready for prime time, like the Android app’s odd English instructions, which included”When Wi-Fi turns on, the indicator is breathing state.”
7. Armor All ADC2 Dashboard Camera
A dash cam for less than $30
Specifications
Field of view: 90 degrees
Megapixels: NA
Resolution: 720p
Display: 2.4-inch LCD
Reasons to buy
+Inexpensive option+Includes microSD card
Reasons to avoid
–Poor video quality–Limited field of view
If you’re never tried a dashcam, the Armor All ADC2 is a good starter kit, although better video quality recordings can be found elsewhere. The very inexpensive ADC2 includes an easy-to-use suction-cup mount, a power cable and a 4GB microSD card, enough to start recording as soon as you get it. A 2.4-inch LCD screen confirms that you’re pointed in the right direction and that you’re recording, although the screen was so dim that we didn’t notice that we had the camera pointed up at the trees for miles.
Furthermore, the ADC2’s 720p video quality is rather poor. It provides only a 90-degree viewing range, delivering the narrowest perspective among the dashcams we tested. And the inferior picture resolution produced a rough and pixelated image, making it all but impossible to read street signs and license plates.
8. Pruveeo Dash Cam F5 WiFi Dash Cam for Cars
Dash cam with a limited view
Specifications
Field of view: 140 degrees
Megapixels: NA
Resolution: 1080p
Display: 1.5-inch LCD
Reasons to buy
+A very inexpensive option+Automatic, continuous recording
Reasons to avoid
–Difficult to optimize the view–Video is overexposed in broad daylight
One of the least expensive cameras in our roundup, the Pruveeo F5 is an against-the-windshield, all-in-one design. The 1080p camera with a 140-degree lens mounts directly on the glass using a semipermanent double-sided sticker. Unfortunately, the camera lens itself can be rotated only within a narrow range once it’s mounted, making it difficult to optimize the view.
Like several other models, it does not include a microSD memory card, but it does perform automatic continuous recording and will save recordings whenever there’s a”bump”or other unusual event noted by its motion sensors. Unfortunately, the F5’s video quality was mediocre, with a tendency to become overexposed in broad daylight. The video also demonstrated a lack of detail, making it hard to make out license-plate numbers, day or night.
9. Rexing V1 DashCam
Specifications
Field of view: 170 degrees
Megapixels: NA
Resolution: 1080p
Display: 2.4-inch LCD
Reasons to buy
+Continuous loop recording and crash sensing features+Solid setup instructions+Better-than-average video quality
Reasons to avoid
–Limited placement options–Poor LCD screen
The Rexing V1 is an all-in-one dashcam design that mounts directly to the windshield with an adhesive mount. However, this on-glass approach limits your window-placement options. The camera records video with a very wide 170-degree perspective in 1080p. It includes continuous-loop recording, crash sensing and time stamps. The camera also includes a 2.4-inch display, but we found its poor viewing angles made it all but impossible to see what was being recorded.
The Rexing V1 does make an effort to aid inexperienced users by including an excellent manual and a plastic pry tool to help you tuck the power cable along the headliner, plus half a dozen clips to secure the cable elsewhere. Video recordings were of better-than-average quality, even in low-light conditions. But the poor LCD screen and lack of included memory card make this expensive dashcam a one to skip.
What to look for in a dash cam
None of the budget dashcams we reviewed offer 4K video or broadcast quality sound, but you should expect clear full-HD video from the top models. And all require power but come with the necessary cables and mounts to hook up to the old 12-volt cigarette-lighter plug in the car.
Some of these dashcams have LCD screens for easy monitoring, while other models do not. A couple models require a smartphone app; although most do not. Finally, only a few come with a microSD memory card, so in most cases you’ll have to purchase your own. For our tests, when the camera did not include memory we used a Kingston 64GB XC microSD card ($25 to $30).
