So, here are the top five, Best Wireless Dash Cams!
In the fifth place, we have the Next-base 422-G-W dash camera!
Priced at 230$, the 422-G-W features GPS to record your speed and location, WiFi to watch
and send the footage directly from your phone, and Intelligent Parking Mode.
It also offers a number of more impressive features like Emergency SOS and Alexa voice
assistance!
Resolution is 1440 pixels HD at 30 frames per second, with a 140-degree viewing angle,
or you can record at 1080 pixels HD, 60 frames per second - which will record a smoother
video but lower quality footage.
The 422-G-W is also compatible with the Nextbase Rear-View Camera Modules, so you can keep
an eye on passengers or what's happening behind you!
Setting up the 422-G-W is very simple.
There are only two physical buttons on the device, but in reality, you'll rarely have
to use them anyway.
Once you start the car, the camera starts recording and you can press the big red button
on the bottom if you want to save a clip to prevent it from being looped over.
The 422-G-W also features a new and improved 2.5-inch LED HD touchscreen, a new software
suite to watch and edit your footage, and Emergency SOS so you can alert emergency services
of your location in the event of an accident.
When an incident is detected, the Emergency SOS system will go through a number of failsafe
protocols to check you're okay - including ringing your phone.
Using Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy tech, video files can be sent to your phone in two resolutions
(high and low), meaning the low-res files can be viewed quickly as they take a very
short amount of time to transfer.
Using Alexa with the dashcam is a brand-new feature for Nextbase, it's actually the first
dashcam in the world to offer this voice control feature.
Essentially, if you want to protect a recording, add eggs to your shopping list, ask for directions
to a nearby petrol station, check the weather, call your dentist or a whole range of other
things - you can just say 'Alexa', and your dashcam acts like an Amazon Echo.
In the fourth place, the Nextbase 622-G-W featuring a built-in polarizing filter, image
stabilization, 4K video resolution, and excellent Night Vision mode, the resulting footage is
of excellent quality, making it extremely easy to pick out a number plate and vehicle
details in all conditions.
The addition of Alexa voice control and What3Words emergency geolocation are welcome added bonuses.
For a start, the 622-G-W features a new Ambarella H22 quad-core chipset, which lets you capture
pin-sharp 4K footage at 30 frames per second.
Better still, the firm has installed a removable polarizing filter, which allows drivers to
rotate a bezel on the front of the lens to produce beautiful, glare-free footage.
There’s also an option to add a rear camera module that films at 1080pixels with 30 frames
per second, but this is sold separately.
On a positive note, this doesn’t require an irritatingly long wire dangling from the
rear window because it neatly plugs into the side of the 622-G-W.
Alternatively, there’s the option to link Amazon Alexa voice control to the 622-G-W
via the accompanying MyNextbase Connect app, which is available for both iOS and Android
devices.
Once the two pieces of software are linked, you can simply say, “Alexa, ask my dashcam
to take a picture” and the camera will oblige.
Nextbase also now offers an upgrade to its coveted EmergencySOS feature in this camera,
thanks to the addition of what3words geocoding.
Emergency and breakdown services are increasingly looking to the innovative geocode system to
provide help faster, as the technology can precisely pinpoint a location within three
meters of a stricken vehicle, for example.
Customers in all territories receive a year’s free trial of this EmergencySOS feature, but
you’ll need to pay a subscription after that period.
Like most cameras on the market, the 622-G-W features a built-in G-Sensor, which will automatically
save footage to the device if it detects a bump or crash.
Regardless, most of us carry a mobile phone these days, meaning EmergencySOS can be used
with the accompanying app, and thanks to dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, cameras now tether
to said app with fewer issues than previous Nextbase cams!
In the third place, we have The Rexing V1-4K Ultra, priced at around 50$!
It can record up to 4K videos at 24 frames per second.
That’s the highest resolution option but it also has an option for 30 or even 60 frames
per second at full HD, or 1080 pixels.
It has a 170° angle lens and WDR to further improve the visuals.
The camera also has a WiFi connection to transfer videos to your phone and share them.
The Rexing V1 series seems to be a dashcam line that has greatly improved over time.
The third+ generation has improved video quality over the previous generations.
The menus and operation of them are smooth and straightforward and the WiFi connection
works well.
You can use your phone to turn to record on or off.
With the WiFi features, you can directly connect your iPhone, Samsung, or tablet directly to
the dashcam, which will give you the ability to get a live view of the camera, download
videos, and change settings on the V1 dashcam.
The V1 uses a capacitor rather than a battery, so it will do better in high heat or extremely
cold temperatures.
It’s also more reliable, as you don’t have to worry about a battery going bad over
time.
There is also a basic parking mode feature on the V1 that will allow you to set the camera
to detect and impacts when you’re away.
If it does detect a major impact, it will begin recording for 20 seconds and then go
back into standby mode.
To use this parking mode feature you will want to have a hardwire kit that goes into
your car's fuse box, or an external battery!
The Thinkware F800 PRO is our second product on this top, and this is around 350$!
The new feature that truly differentiates the F800 Pro from the older version is Thinkware
Cloud, which allows you to share videos uploaded to your phone with other devices via Thinkware’s
web portal.
Like most of Thinkware’s high-end dash cams, the F800 Pro lacks a display, instead of relying
upon your phone for visuals, configuration, offloading video, and other interactions.
The F800 Pro is a bit on the large size for a dashcam, measuring approximately 1.1 x 2.5
x 3.25 inches—that last being 4 inches if you include the 140-degree field of view,
rotate-able camera, which sticks out to the side.
On the top of the camera, you’ll find the slot for the Micro SD card (Thinkware provided
us with a 32GB card and SD adapter) as well as the reset button, while the camera is on
the left side.
The F800’s camera is extremely close to the windshield to reduce distortion and swivels
in the vertical with a range of about 90 degrees.
The F800 Pro sports integrated GPS, but you wouldn’t know it from the video, as the
location info isn’t included in the watermark.
The interior side of the F800 Pro has buttons for controlling power, muting the microphone
(handy for bypassing colorful verbal exchanges), connecting via Wi-Fi, and formatting an SD
card.
There are also indicator lights for GPS (if available), Record, and Wi-Fi.
Most operations, including adjusting settings and viewing videos, are performed using the
Thinkware Cloud app on your phone (iOS or Android).
Once you’ve linked the camera with the phone via Wi-Fi, which eventually winds up with
the camera logged in to your phone’s hot spot, you’re set to go.
Transfers to the phone (and then to other devices), are manual only—despite an entire
settings page dedicated to automatic transfers that you see below.
Finally, the top product on our list is the BlackVue DR750S-2CH, which is a dual dash
camera, with a 370$ price!
The front and rear cameras feature Full HD 1080 pixels and use Sony STARVIS image sensors
for a sharper quality image.
The front camera can record at up to 60 frames per second while the rear camera has a maximum
of 30 frames per second.
Some additional features include a GPS logger, Wi-Fi, cloud connectivity, and impact and
motion detection.
There are some intuitive controls on the BlackVue that provide a more convenient way to change
the settings.
You can toggle the audio recording on and off by simply waving your hand in front of
the proximity sensor and configure WiFi settings with the push of a button.
Speed data can be overlaid onto the footage and BlackVue has a map to find the location
of the vehicle during video playback.
The cloud feature in the BlackVue is a bit better than in other cameras.
With the BlackVue you can use remote live view, send push notifications to your phone,
backup videos to the free cloud storage, and play and download videos from the camera’s
memory or the cloud from anywhere.
You can even use two-way voice communication with the driver from the app through the camera’s
integrated speaker and mic.
BlackVue is a brand known for high-quality products, and the DR75OS-2CH is no exception.
This camera delivers a great experience with new features that help it differentiate itself
from both cheaper and pricier cameras.
While some may not be able to justify the almost $400 price tag, those that are interested
in a higher-tier dash camera will be satisfied!
