That one records in 2k rather than 4k so your footage isn’t quite as sharp but it’s still leaps and bounds above many other dashcams on the market. If the Thinkware U1000 is slightly out of your price range, the Q800 Pro is a little bit more affordable. On the downside, it’s expensive, bulky and isn’t the most attractive device to look at. It’ll also warn you about upcoming speed cameras and has GPS built in, so if an incident occurs the exact location will be recorded in the video footage. The lack of screen does make it fiddly to set up though, and it’s crucial it’s positioned correctly to ensure it alerts you when you drift out of your lane or drive too close to the car in front. On test, it recorded sharp 4K video, both during the day and at night. If you prefer a dashcam without a screen, this is the best you can buy. Recording resolution: 2560 x 1440 pixels.A 256GB card can be bought on Amazon for around £20. However, it only has an adhesive mount rather than a suction mount, which is fiddly to detach if you want to use the dashcam in another vehicle, and you’ll need to supply your own microSD card. We love that the charger comes with two USB sockets, so you can use the dashcam at the same time as a satnav or charging your phone. It’s compact, has a two-inch screen and voice control. It warns you if you’re too close to the car in front, are drifting out of lane, or if you haven’t noticed the traffic ahead of you has started to move. Its 180 degree lens makes it suitable for stretches of motorway that have more than three lanes, too. While this dashcam doesn’t record in as sharp a quality as our winner, it’s still very clear – especially during the day. Recording resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels.The dashcam is well-built and sturdy, and comes with a spare adhesive strip if you need to move it to another car in the future. You use a (frustratingly short) Micro-USB cable to transfer videos to your computer and while there’s no touchscreen or voice control, the buttons feel fine and the layout is easy to understand. The 2-inch display may be small, but the colours look good and it’s enough to see what is happening around you. This model also has GPS that accurately shows your location on the phone app in real-time. We like that the Cobra includes a 16GB MicroSD card inside the dashcam as standard (you can add up to 256GB) to store footage. It took under 10 minutes to download the app, wire it up and stick it on our windshield. This cylindrical camera is also incredibly easy to set up and install, making it a good choice for beginners or anyone who doesn’t want to spend ages on installation. It shoots in crisp Full HD from both lenses, and the quality is impressive in dark conditions – giving you a solid 140-degree field of view that captures lots of detail. We know you’ll want your dashcam to record what’s happening in front of your car, but the Cobra SC 201 doubles the peace of mind by also taking video of the interior, too.
