Do you need a dash cam? Probably not. These dashboard and windshield mounted cameras that record the road in front of you aren’t a need based item, but they can be fun to use on your travels, give you a recording of what’s going on in front of your vehicle and be the right item in case of a collision that happens at the front of your vehicle. In a world where we love to document everything that happens, these cameras are a great way to capture the moments in your vehicle and show the scenery during your travels. Here are five of the best dash cams and what you will enjoy about them.
Novatek NT96650 G1W – For a little less than $50 you will have the whole package of what you need to be able to use this little camera. It comes with a windshield mount, a car adapter, a Mini-USB and an HDMI cable. The 2.7-inch screen allows you to see what’s in front of you so that you can adjust it to what you need. The Video quality is excellent and the only knock in this camera is the plastic mount that feels like it could break.
Mobius ActionCam – For $80 you could have one of the most versatile action cameras on the market. This camera is great for hobby shooting and is small enough to fit on your keychain. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a screen so you have to hope you captured what you want, but you can mount it in your vehicle. When you do mount it in your vehicle you can hook it up to your laptop and see what’s being recorded before you head out so that you know you’re capturing the view you want to enjoy later.
Papago P2 Pro – This camera is great for the professional driver who needs to make a highlight reel to send to potential sponsors. For $145 this camera is able to capture the moment and give you the video you want to enjoy. It is big but it can give you the look and feel you want when you want to have a camera that can shoot a wider scene. You’ll love the way this camera shows you what you’re recording and by using a capacitor instead of batteries it avoids the dangers of overheating when being used.
Cobra Drive HD CDR 900 Dash Cam – For $250 you expect to have a lot from a small camera and this is one that truly delivers for you. This camera is Wi-Fi enabled to allow you to upload your videos right away and have the look you want to enjoy. This device can be used as a dedicated dash cam or as an action cam that uses a suction cup mount or a lanyard attachment, both of which are included in the package. You do need to be near a Wi-Fi hotspot for the video access you want, but you can find these hotspots pretty easily.
Garmin Dash Cam 20 – This Garmin camera will cost you $250 but will give you many extras that you can enjoy using. You can mount this camera on the windshield and plug it in to begin recording. You’ll be able to review the videos easily and anytime your vehicle is running, so is the camera. The rechargeable battery allows the camera to be used outside the vehicle in case of an accident or you can use it to document different places that you go and give your video even more scenery to be shared with those who view your video.
