About this deal

The Ring comes in a close second, and would be our first choice if you prefer to have a screen to play with the menus. The Kenwood feels like a quality product and delivers consistently good quality footage too. Dash cams that have apps need to be considered carefully. An app can be very useful for accessing footage and other things but are only useful if they work properly. The best dash cam apps come from Garmin, Nextbase, Ring Automotive, and a small collection of other brands that have properly developed them. Ring says the camera only supports up to 64GB, which is a little small given 512GB cards aren’t too pricey these days. Of course, you can use bigger cards, but it seems it’s not ‘officially signed off’. As the number of incidents on UK roads increases, installing a dash cam brings a range of benefits to new and experienced drivers. Having the ability to easily resolve disputes, offer witness information, produce supporting evidence for an insurance claim, capture that unforgettable moment or even potentially reduce your insurance costs, means a dash cam makes a lot of sense for the modern driver.

The smallest dash cams, such as the Garmin Mini 2, are about the size of a garlic bulb. They hide very well behind a rear-view mirror but, if not engineered well, can be annoying to use. A dash cam with a screen size of two to three inches will be bigger but generally easier to use (Garmin Mini 2 notwithstanding). While these high-tech devices are never going to blend in totally with a classic, we selected cameras which are small and discreet enough not to be noticed at a glance. This also means they won’t take up valuable space on the windscreens of roadsters and smaller cars. But the constant nagging of the app, as well as the heavy data and power usage demands on your phone, soon become an annoyance if you just expect your camera to be quietly watching over you and the car. On the plus side, the footage quality is good for a 1080P camera. Mio C312 It might not be a name you’ve ever heard of, but DDPAI are big in the dash cam market globally and it’s easy to see why. The Mola is about half the size of an ice lolly and has a reasonably compact mount which makes it easy to hide on a shallow windscreen. In addition to recording footage, matched speed is a very helpful resource. Some mid-range dash cams have GPS as standard, and you can certainly get it if you want it. Just remember to consider the other important factors of dash cams too.

Like the Kenwood, it has to make do with 1080p video capture, but some clever Garmin tech means it is better than average quality. Pioneer VREC-DH200 The RSDC4000 HD GPS & WiFi Enabled Slim Smart Dash Camera's screenless, discreet design (about the same size as a credit card) features a full HD 1440p resolution camera with an extra-wide 140° field of view and 30fps (frames per second) recording, which allows you to capture true video high-quality images (day and night) from in front of your vehicle. Additional support for the Ring Rearview camera allows simultaneous recording from the front and rear to give all-around protection. That’s amazing value, especially as the camera has the best resolution footage here at 1600P (that’s an image 1600 pixels deep – more than the 1080P commonly dubbed “HD”). The images are noticeably better than the other cameras here in the day, although the software doesn’t seem to cope quite as well at night compared to the Kenwood, Garmin and Ring. It also has a magnetic attachment, making it simple to remove if you want to keep it safe while your roof is off, or the car is in long-term storage.

There is a tiny 2-inch screen to help you scroll through the menus and position the camera, although it is permanently switched on – unlike most rivals which have the option to switch off after a short period of time. This screen can prove distracting, especially at night in an otherwise dark car. It’s also WIFI enabled and works with the Ring Connect App, so saving videos is far less of a faff. A full HD dash cam with a resolution of 1296p, a 130-degree field of view and 30 fps. Built-in GPS records your vehicle’s location and speed. A built-in G-sensor automatically saves the current file in the event of a crash. This is occasionally useful, as it allows you to view your videos even if you are not near the car. You might want to do this if you want to show someone footage or share it with your insurer or the police. In Top Gear Magazine (yes the one that is linked to BBC's Top Gear show), they reviewed what they thought were the Top 5 budget Dash Cameras.

What is it?

Looking head on, it’s no bigger than the average business card and the mount is compact too, meaning it will fit discreetly behind most rear-view mirrors. Despite the size, it has a screen which makes navigating menus and aiming the lens easy. Footage is really good, sharp and clear enough to see numberplates of the vehicles in front and to the side of you. It would be nice to have the option of 60fps, but it’s a big ask at this price point. The Ring RSDC4000 HD GPS & WiFi Enabled Slim Smart Dash Camera offers a superior-high-quality recording solution that combines state-of-the-art technology with GPS and Wifi enabled connectivity, along with all the benefits of dash cam ownership. There are some downsides though. While the camera itself is small, the mount is twice as long as the camera. In fact it’s so chunky we suspect some of the electronics have been hidden inside, especially as it can’t be separated from the camera.
