dash cam

REVIEW – Even though my teenager has been asking for a dash cam for months, I never really saw the value in one… until I was recently T-boned by a driver who blew through a stop sign. Now I’m much more open to the idea, seeing firsthand how helpful that footage could have been for

REVIEW – If you’re considering a dash cam, you’re not alone.  The US market for dash cams in 2021 was $587M, and is expected to continue on a growth trajectory.  There are a lot of options on the market vying for your attention, and today we’re looking at the MIOFIVE 4K dash cam.  It’s overall

REVIEW – A friend of mine recently purchased a used pickup truck and it did not include features like a navigation screen or cameras. Since he carries a lot of cargo, I would hear him complain about the need to be able to have a better view of what was behind him when reversing. When

REVIEW – By now I think most of us have seen dashboard camera footage of some kind, whether it’s a humorous mistake or a harrowing near miss on the roads. In the era before dashcams, I had a collision where I was rear ended while going down a hill, and despite a healthy following distance

REVIEW – Ever since another car backed into my previous car and damaged it, I have always wanted a dashcam to make sure I could have video evidence of any accident.  Lucky for me, the person who caused that accident owed up to it and let me file a claim on their insurance.  I am

REVIEW – Now that I have another driver (with a fourth starting this summer), I’ve been on the lookout for a high-quality dash cam for my son’s car to serve as another set of eyes in the event of a collision or other incident while he is on his way back and forth to school. 

REVIEW – The FineVU GX30 dashcam puts all its features in a package that fits neatly behind the rearview mirror, plus just a smidgen of widget in the back window. Thankfully, no cars were damaged during the evaluation of this dashcam, but if it happened, I could have shown you the pictures! What is it

REVIEW -Back in September of last year I had a car back into the front of my car as we were waiting in line to leave a parking lot.  I am guessing the car pulled too far forward, panicked, and threw their car in reverse without doing a thorough check behind them.   It seemed to

REVIEW – For some time now, I have thought about adding a dash cam to my car. Fortunately, I only had one incident where I could have used the recorded footage from a dash cam. While stopped at a red light, a car in the right lane next to me decided to jump in front

REVIEW – Do you have a dash cam in your vehicle yet? A dash cam is a type of gadget that you install and then forget about it. The hope is that you’ll never need it unless it’s to review some fun footage that it captured instead of accident footage. Choosing a dash cam can

REVIEW – Today’s newer vehicles have those spiffy rear cameras that you can use when backing up.  Some vehicles also have review mirrors that are display screens, showing realtime video from a read-facing camera instead of a reflection.  Auto-Vox has combined both of those features with a forward-facing camera and recording capabilities and created the

REVIEW – A car dash camera is one of those products that you don’t need most of the time – until you do. The myGEKOgear Orbit 950 Dual Dash Cam is one of those dashcams, and this one has the added benefit of having a front and rear camera that will record your driving history

REVIEW – Just like any other safety function on your car, a dash cam is something you can install and forget about until you really need it, and the GEKO Orbit 530 is no exception. Let’s take a deep dive into this diminutive dash device. What is it? The GEKO Orbit 530 is an automobile

REVIEW – I’ve been looking for backup camera solutions for my Suburban and for our Subaru Forrester for many months and had been looking for something that didn’t require yet another wiring project (even a minor one). I am hoping that the Auto-Vox Solar Wireless Digital Reversing System will be the perfect solution. What is

REVIEW – As dashcams become more popular and affordable, manufacturers are always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. Device manufacturer Acumen took a novel approach to the problem by mating a dashcam with a rearview camera and using your car’s standard rearview mirror as a mount for the screen. Even though installation

REVIEW – We’ve all heard tales of the minor fender-bender that somehow becomes a major lawsuit. Several years ago, I decided to install dashcams in my vehicles as unbiased observers to highway shenanigans. I was interested to see how Vantop’s H610 10-inch mirror camera would perform. What is it? The VanTop H610 10-inch 2.5k mirror

REVIEW – Here at The Gadgeteer we review a lot of dashcams, and it’s tough to find one that stands out from the crowd. Today I want to show you a dashcam that might get lost in the crowd because it’s so small, and that’s not a bad thing. Let’s take a look at the
