Product Information

Now at first, I thought this was down to the motion detection system causing the camera to turn off and then trigger again when it detected movement. Even when the vehicle is stationary the Kitvision dash camera can detect movement, it's like having a witness even when you're not there, any motion detected will save and you can play it back later. The first annoyance, and this is one that I could just live with was the constant startup tone as the camera would seemingly turn itself on and off again a lot whilst driving.

Whilst 8 GB doesn’t sound a lot, we found it to be adequate, even on long journeys, as the camera loops and records over any ‘unlocked’ files. Take the stress out of driving and experience high quality HD video that allows you to see every detail. On one side is the input for a Mini USB charger, and an output for HDMI if you wished to output the footage you have recorded to a larger display. Each item is tried and tested first hand by our team; if we don’t like it we won’t bother sharing it! A bonus of having this camera is its got auto start meaning when you turn the car on the camera ready for the journey ahead you simply do not need to do anything once set up.

The HD Dash Cam starts recording any time it detects motion in its viewing field, even when you're not in the car.

It is also capable of taking pictures at 12 MP, but this is not something I really used as it is not really necessary in my book. Refurbished to pristine condition, this compact camera is perfect for recording your journeys with crystal clear quality.

A lovely little touch on the 12 volt cigarette lighter plug, that is part of the kit, is a pass through USB socket, allowing you to power other devices whilst running the camera at the same time.

Record in 720p HD at 30 fps or capture still photos and rely on accurate time and date stamps in case you ever need the evidence. The camera records continuously but, thanks to a built in G sensor, it will lock and save files when it detects a crash. This meant that it wasn't a distraction while I was driving but I could still get to it if I needed to remove it easily.

Lastly here is some footage from the morning I drove to Stanstead, just to give you an idea of what the camera is like in less than optimal conditions. Installation of this device was a walk in the park simply adjust the suction mount to best suit your requirement and plug the camera in and bingo.However, if you want something that is high quality, and has the back-end support to allow you to use your recorded footage easily and securely, then you may want to look elsewhere such as this one. The major concern was that should I ever need to submit footage of an accident etc, then if my time stamp is out by several hours then that footage would be deemed inadmissible in court.
