Product Information

You want built-in rear recording: There are rivals for a similar price with rear-view cameras as standard, but it's an optional add-on for the 622GW. Video resolution is a key consideration when choosing a dash cam, as explained below. Most dash cams in 2023 can record footage in Full HD, which is generally enough to identify large details in a video clip. Sharper 4K dash cams tend to cost more, but capture video at a higher resolution. This makes it easier to pull out crucial details such as number plates, which mean 4K dash cams generally offer more reassurance from a safety perspective. All dash cams use a memory card to store recorded images and video footage. All the dash cams that we have tested use ‘loop recording’, meaning that when they run out of space on the memory card they rewrite over the oldest footage. The best dash cams we've tested are easy to install into the car and just as easy to remove when you leave your car. Best dash cam features to look for Wi-fi – wi-fi lets you transmit footage wirelessly from the camera to your device – so no need to remove it and take it indoors. Some dash cams also allow you to view footage from the dash cam in real time via the wireless connection.

You want a simple solution: Nexar's app is home to a host of useful tools, but you’ll find better value elsewhere if you only want a basic cam for recording the road.Aimed at those who spend extended periods behind the wheel, the Nexar Pro is a dual-cam solution that can record video both inside and outside a vehicle. Comprised of two separate camera units connected by a cable, we found the setup to be pretty neat, even if it took up a fair bit of screen real estate. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

These include alerts to let you know about nearby speed cameras and red light cameras, plus a prompt to tell you the vehicle in front has set off – just in case you weren’t paying attention while sat in traffic. Capture settings can be tweaked via the touchscreen, but we found that it worked well right out of the box: results from both cameras were impressive, with plenty of crisp detail and decent dynamic range, even in dim and dark conditions. If you’re looking for a stress-free and reliable dash cam, the X1000 gets plenty right. Helpfully, both the display angle and camera lens are adjustable, so you can find the right position between road and driver.

This distortion doesn’t reduce the detail, but footage is worse than from other Garmin dash cams.You don’t need a complex camera: Basic functionality is free, but you’ll need to pay subscription fees for the full set of Nextbase iQ features.
