Best Dashcams with High-Speed Full HD Recording

The 70mai range includes video recorders of any level. Let's take, for example, the mid-range model Dash Cam A200 - it can shoot videos in Full HD with an increased frame rate of up to 60 fps.

Video recording is performed by a combination of the GalaxyCore GC2093 matrix and the Sigmastar image processor. The recorder produces a clear image in a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, ensures good readability of license plates of passing and oncoming cars, and copes perfectly with complex changes in illumination in the frame thanks to the HDR function.

The recorder has a lens with a field of view of about 130° — the model’s frame fits 3–4 traffic lanes. In terms of viewing angle, the standard optics of the 70mai Dash Cam A200 are slightly inferior to its direct competitors, but the difference is small and not critical. You can view the footage both on the 2-inch IPS screen and on a paired smartphone (via Wi-Fi).

The model is equipped with a G-sensor, and machine DVR can also record time-lapse video. The device is powered from the cigarette lighter socket via a microUSB connector. And for backup power, the DVR uses a 500 mAh battery. Optionally, 70mai Dash Cam A200 supports the communication of a remote rear view camera, which is purchased separately.

Aspiring Expert 8 is an advanced dash cam for a reasonable price. Moreover, it records in two-channel mode.

The key role in the design of the device is played by the head unit, which is easily attached to the suction cup on the windshield through a neodymium magnet with a through power supply. This ensures quick installation and removal of the recorder. The head module is equipped with a camera based on the Sony STARVIS IMX307 matrix coupled with wide-angle optics (170 °). Coverage of the "rear stern" is provided by a remote "cube box" with a shooting resolution of Full HD at 30 fps.

The video sequence on the main camera of the model is recorded in a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels with an increased frame rate of up to 60 fps. The front camera supports an extended dynamic range of the image WDR(for equalizing the exposure in scenes with complex differences in illumination). It is supposed to view videos from it on the built-in 2.35-inch diagonal screen or from a connected smartphone.

Inside the model, it was possible to carve out a place for a built-in GPS. According to the data from this sensor, the coordinates of machine's location and speed are linked to the video sequence. At the same time , the recorder warns the driver about police cameras and stationary radars, drawing information from the updated Speedcam database. Aspiring Expert 8 provides a clear picture of what is happening on the roads and helps to avoid fines due to inattention, which is extremely beneficial for the model.

The Transcend DrivePro DP110 suction cup recorder belongs to the robust middle class of devices for video recording of traffic conditions.

The device is supposed to be placed directly on the windshield of machine. Power is supplied to it both from the cigarette lighter socket and from the fuse box, for which an additional USB cable is included in the standard package. The model also has a built-in battery, which provides short-term autonomous operation of the dash cam (for correct finalization of the recording, viewing of the footage without being connected to the vehicle's on-board network, etc.).

The device is equipped with a Sony STARVIS IMX307 matrix, which has proven itself to be the best in a variety of ambient lighting conditions. The recorder records video in Full HD resolution with an increased frame rate (60 fps), copes well with complex changes in illumination thanks to the WDR function, and “sees” perfectly in the dark.

On the side of the body facing the vehicle interior, there is a 2.4-inch screen. The image on the display is automatically darkened by a light sensor. The screen can display reminders about the need to turn on the headlights and warnings about driver fatigue(during long trips behind the wheel). To store the recorded videos, the recorder will need to be equipped with a microSD memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB inclusive.

The VIOFO A129-G car recorder is aimed at high-quality video recording in Full HD resolution. Smoothness of the video sequence in dynamic scenes is ensured by the increased frame rate of 60 fps.

The heart of the model is the Sony STARVIS IMX291 matrix, and the image from it is processed by the Novatek NTK96660 video chip. The recorder is equipped with wide-angle optics with a field of view of about 140° and supports shooting in WDR - the technology of extended dynamic range aligns the exposure of the frame in scenes with strong differences in illumination.

The device is equipped with a slot for a microSD card up to 256 GB, built-in Wi-Fi for wireless communication with mobile devices, an AV connector for connecting an optional rear-view camera. A GPS module can be built into the recorder holder, but it is advisable to check its availability separately.

Remote access to the DVR settings is provided via the above-mentioned Wi-Fi network. At the same time, the model is equipped with buttons and a 2-inch color screen on the rear end of the case. In parallel with the picture, the device records sound, and for its playback, the design provides a built-in speaker.

Screenless car recorders from BlackVue have settled at the top of the Olympus of means of video recording of the road situation. The top model DR590X-1CH is designed to strengthen their position.

The device in a recognizable cylindrical "body" was released to replace the popular BlackVue DR590W-1CH model. The key innovation in the "X" version of the recorder is a software mechanism for protecting machine battery from deep discharge when the voltage in the on-board network drops below 11.8 V. It will come in handy in parking mode, when machine is turned off and the dash cam receives power directly from machine battery.

As for the quality of video recording, it remains consistently high for the BlackVue DR590X-1CH throughout the day. The recorded video materials are saved to a memory card in a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at 60 fps or transferred directly to the cloud. To send video to cloud services, you will need to purchase a special Over the Cloud kit. And in general, many accessories for machine DVR are offered for an additional fee (a power supply cable with battery protection, an external GPS receiver, etc.).

The menu with the settings of the dash cam can be accessed from a smartphone connected via Wi-Fi network - there is no own display on board the BlackVue DR590X-1CH. It is also necessary to emphasize the support of the head unit for two-way voice communication and its equipment with a supercapacitor for backup or emergency power supply. On the shelves of auto stores, the model is presented in a single-camera configuration and in an extended configuration with a second camera for viewing the rear hemisphere, which is called BlackVue DR590X-2CH.
