Here is a sample of some of the footage I recorded whilst on a recent drive from Stanstead after MWC. However, please note that you can enable or disable cookies by following the instructions of your browser.

It’s also GPS enables allowing you to have a clear record of speed and location which would be great if you did have a crash on the motorway you could show the insurance all the relevant information required. Loop Recording – As mentioned if you want 1, 3, 5, or 10 min recording you can also turn loop recording off if you want. Let’s just say doing so could save you a whole load of hassle with your insurance company and possibly the police.This item has been removed from its original boxing, but having looked over it there are no signs of actual use. Whilst 8 GB doesn’t sound a lot, we found it to be adequate, even on long journeys, as the camera loops and records over any ‘unlocked’ files.

Kitvision is a brand that's well known for its action cameras but it's also trying to make a mark in the dash cam market with its 'Observer' range. Back to the testing, and we’ve found the Kitvision Observer HD Dash Camera to be a cracking little device. You do not need to use the cable as the battery is a rechargeable lithium battery but personally, I kept the cable in the whole time I have been using this. A bonus of having this camera is its got auto start meaning when you turn the car on the camera ready for the journey ahead you simply do not need to do anything once set up. However, if I had been planning to use it for a longer period of time then I would have spent the time making the routing a lot neater.You have a witness even when you’re not there; when the vehicle is stationary the Kitvision Dash Camera can detect movement and it will save any event for you to play back later.

On one side is the input for a Mini USB charger, and an output for HDMI if you wished to output the footage you have recorded to a larger display.

Kitvision, I beg of you: If you are going to use Wi-Fi as a way of accessing the camera on your kit, then please build an app yourself and don’t rely upon others to do it for you! This section is an honest endorsement of the gear and brands that the ExPix crew have used and which we’d highly recommend.The motion detection and parking mode will capture footage when movement is detected within the cameras field of view or if a bump occurs whilst you’re away from the vehicle. Also in the box is a 12-volt charger that not only allows you to charge the camera but also an additional port for a phone charger or even a sat-nav. Otherwise, you will need to meet the cost of postage, unless otherwise agreed by Arnold Clark Autoparts. No threats hanging over us of having to go to court to prove that we didn’t do anything wrong, with a dash cam the evidence would have been there for all to see. Now for the first few days the noise seemingly disappeared, however after a few days it was back and being just as annoying.

The camera records continuously but, thanks to a built in G sensor, it will lock and save files when it detects a crash. The packaging for this camera looks great and it very informative and outlines the main features as well as what is included.This tucked into the corner of the windscreen again quite nicely, and allowed me to then route the power cable down the A-pillar to the charger after going under my dash first. As mentioned this camera comes with some very cool features as mentioned above what I found as one of the best features was the parking mode this gives you protection even when the car is parked as with the use of the motion detection if a car is reversing towards your car the camera will pick that up. I found that I had to always have the camera plugged in as otherwise, it would not record any footage at all.
