Dash cam reviews: What you need to catch the maniacs and meteors of daily driving

September 28, 2015

Dash cams are already essential in many countries because of scam artists who try to create accidents so they can sue you. They’ve also proven useful for catching the occasional meteor, as just happened in Thailand (and in Russia a few years ago). But while auto cons aren’t as common here, recording your excursions is a reasonable precaution to take—especially if you’re driving professionally. Few people are as well situated geographically as I am to test dash cams. Within two blocks there are major four- and six-lane thoroughfares, numerous bike lanes, joggers, dog walkers, music moles (ear-budded pedestrians) and a major bus nexus serving both public and private coaches. I could hardly wait for the arrival of the six cameras we ordered for this roundup: Cobra’s CDR 840 and CDR 900, Garmin’s Dash Cam 20 and Nuvicam LMTHD, KDLink’s X1, Thinkware’s X500, and Yada’s Dash Road Cam HD.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
