Aukey DR01 Dash Cam review: Great video on the cheap, but where's the claimed supercapacitor? |
August 25, 2018
Aukey’s $58 DR01 dash cam initially proved a pleasant surprise. Despite the low price, it delivers some of the best video I’ve seen—both day and night. Throw in the optional $20 GPS, which, though slow to initialize at times, works well, and it would’ve been a top contender for best budget unit. Except...Testing revealed that despite specific mention of a supercapacitor on the DR01’s Amazon product page, the camera quit immediately when power was removed. When I queried Aukey about this, the reply was “This dash cam only works with continuous power supply.” That’s a roundabout way of saying the camera does not have the supercapacitor. Amazon
A supercapacitor is a handy thing to have on a dash cam in case of power loss. Aukey's Amazon listing for the DR01 Dash Cam claims there is a supercapacitor on this product, but that's not true—and Aukey seems in no hurry to correct this error. Buyer beware.To read this article in full, please click here
