Test 1 Features

Time to check the specs!

All of our dashcams have a single camera apart from one: Transcend’s DrivePro 520, which adds to the standard front-facing camera with a further 720p HD lens that can be angled to the side (at a passenger, perhaps) or toward the rear seats. This is a great feature, although it means the device has a slightly smaller screen as a result. All the cams will protect the appropriate part of the recording if you’re involved in an incident. The cameras from Asus and Garmin are probably the best looking, if that interests you, though we have a soft spot for Transcend’s too, which is pretty smart. We like the RAC05’s ability to mute its mic at the touch of a button in case of a sensitive in-car conversation. For video quality, the RAC05 leads the way with Super HD (1296p). Transcend’s rear camera is 720p, but its front one is 1080p.
