Over the last couple of years I have been exploring the world of in-car dash cams as a way of recording the spurious 'goings on' in front of my car while out teaching. I originally settled on the 'Mobius' action cam for about a year as this gave good results at an affordable price. However, the 'Mobius' suffered from something which is common to all dash cams, reflection of the cars interior in the windscreen glass which quite often would spoil the recorded picture. In an effort to improve things I have recently been testing the 'Next Base' range which includes the 402G awarded the 2015 'Which Magazine' Best Buy, a great camera but one which still suffered from the pesky windscreen reflection problem. I then tried the next model in the range, the 512G which comes with a 'anti glare' polarising filter over the lens, a worlds first for a dash cam. This small addition makes a world of difference to the recorded picture quality and I now have one installed in my tuition vehicle. The video AND audio from these little camera's is simply amazing and means that I can constantly monitor and record the road ahead and should I have an accident the video would provide proof of liability to my insurance company. Some insurance companies now offer a reduction in premiums if a dash cam is fitted in your car.
As with most things in life, there are cheaper options BUT if you want a fantastic quality picture and sound from your dash cam I would highly recommend the Next Base 512G which is readily available from Halfords, Amazon and other good retailers.
