![]() ![]() So, if you should suffer a mishap at the hands of a more careless motorist, there’ll be no question who was responsible for the MIOFIVE in your car’s corner.Ī very smart system that’s easy to install and takes up next to no space, so don’t hit the highways without one. And, coming to that, those high-def images are sharp, bright and brilliantly detailed – even those recorded in the dark. Will it change the music and unwrap sweets for you? No, it will not, but in all other aspects the perfect co-pilot.įeaturing a 2.2-inch colour display and a supercapacitor instead of a battery to offer an even longer operational life, the MIOFIVE takes a 140° view of the road before and behind you to keep you completely covered, and built-in 5G Wi-Fi and app control makes transfer and review a doddle. Probably the best co-pilot you could ask for, even though you may rely on satnav to show you the way ahead, the MIOFIVE also offers Go Assist alerts (an AI algorithm) which gives you warnings of upcoming road conditions, sudden corners and when cars are braking or accelerating in front, so nothing takes you by surprise. Power: USB or car charger Buy now £ 259.99, Amazonīest for: All-round on-road motor monitoringĪnother dual cam system from another name you won’t have heard of, the MIOFIVE is a very compact, very well-built little model that also creates 4K front and 2K rear recordings, while also packing motion detection and G-sensor to keep your car safe while on the move and also while parked. Put simply then, so smart and packed with advanced imaging tech the VIOFO A139 is that even if you were accidentally rammed off the road in the dead of a moonless night by Batman with his Batmobile in ‘stealth’ mode, the A139 would still pick up every detail and, believe me, Bruce Wayne can afford to pay up. That’s what STARVIS 2 is.Īnd that’s what precisely we have here in the diminutive dimensions of the VIOFO A139, twin cameras, the forward one delivering 4K video and the aft offering 2K, and both capable of wide-angle recording.Įasy to install and powered by USB or car charger, the A139 has a GPS logger to keep a geographical check on things, a 300° rotatable lens, auto event detection, a circular polarising lens to reduce flare and reflection, support acceleration monitoring and motion detection, plus features Wi-Fi to make streaming footage from its microSD card quick and easy. ![]() What’s STARVIS 2 technology? Glad you asked, imagine an image sensor so acutely tuned to the world around it that it can gather light even in the darkest environment and, from it, render stunningly sharp images with realistic colour, above and beyond those of all rivals. But if you’re capable of affording cameras to cover your six as well as the open expanse before you, then you may as well go all in and invest in a dashcam system that shoots in high resolution and is also the world’s first dashcam to employ Sony’s Security Camera Image Sensor Technology (STARVIS) 2 technology. Now because collisions can come at you from behind as well as in front, I favour a dual cam set-up, although these are the – obviously – more expensive options. I’ve had to endure my fair share of near-scrapes with poor drivers over the years, and on many of those occasions I’d wished I had a dash cam on hand to record, but alas it’s only been of late that the tech has become both so widely available and, indeed, so affordable. There are dashcams available as individual front-facing units or in pairs to cover both front and back - and with ever-increasing numbers of clowns in cars around every corner, get yourself a dash cam to keep yourself covered. And if the best driver in existence thinks he needs one, you should too. Now, naturally, like most men my age, I am the best driver in existence, but even I see the benefit of an always-on, roving recorder documenting other drivers around me, just in case.
