It was not so long ago that a dashcam with these specifications would have cost over £150 but now this one can be found for just £59.99 before discounts! The low price has to be the main selling point for this camera.

This is a lightweight dual mode, twin camera dashcam that can give full 4K resolution in front camera mode and 1080p rear at around 30 frames per second when in dual camera mode. That’s not all it does, you can connect to the camera over wifi and use the Viidure app to configure and control it and to download video and photos.

Packaged in a rather upmarket product box aside from the front camera there is also the small rear camera and hardwired cable, car power adaptor with cable, spudger tool, 2 electrostatic mounting stickers, reset pin and User Guide. The User Guide, unlike most, was very well printed, easy to read and informative. A nice bonus is the inclusion of a prefitted 64GB TF memory card.

Most dashcams are single camera units but this system is supplied with a second small camera that is attached by cable to the front camera and can be positioned in the back window to continuously record activity behind the car in addition to the video recorded by the main camera. The rear camera is connected by a lengthy cable to a socket on the main camera. Use of the rear camera is optional and the front camera can be used on its own. The front camera has a 170-degree angle of view according to the User Guide, the rear camera has a 140-degree lens. Both cameras give a clear, detailed and sharp image at around 30 frames per second.

Fixing the camera to the mirror on my Toyota Aygo was easy enough and the cables were easily long enough for both cameras. Fitting the second camera was more of a chore as the cable has to be wound through the car from front to back but once it is done there should be no need to adjust it again. The rear camera is optional as the main camera will work perfectly well without it.

The dashcam is controlled and configured using the Viidure app connected to a Wifi hotspot generated by the camera. You can select to operate in various modes, use one or both cameras. Various other options can be set including the microphone, loop recording time, etc. Recordings can also be selected, viewed on the app or downloaded. Although the front camera does have a built-in screen, all configuration must be done through the app but after this the camera can operate independently.

There are two buttons next to the 38mm screen on the front camera and these can be used to turn the camera off and on, lock recordings and switch between viewing the front and rear screens - handy when positioning the cameras.

I found the image quality to be excellent although in low light conditions, the image quality dropped somewhat. Image quality is crucial for dashcams as it is important to be able to clearly identify number plates and other details in a recorded incident. The camera has the all-important G-Sensor which autosaves and protects video files in which it detects a sudden stop or impact.

Don’t complain about the lack of GPS because although it can be fun at first to trace your route on the screen map remember that in the event of an incident, the police may review all the files on the card and use previous driving speeding errors detected by the GPS against you. The camera does have a microphone which can be useful in the event of an incident if you are quick-witted enough to read aloud the numbers of the cars involved. It has the parking mode but I have never found parking mode to be much use in any camera due to the delay in awakening the camera following triggering. Also, to allow parking mode to work when the ignition is off additional wiring will be needed to bypass the ignition. The only worthwhile feature lacking for me is a second dual write TF card, handy so you always have a copy of the card handed to the police.

This is an excellent dashcam, versatile and easy to use that is capable of giving excellent results for a remarkable price.
