I'm still not amused by that 800 Bht Tesco cheapy that looks remarkably like my 2500 one. Dam it I've run 4 cards for Thai folks at Wife's place from 800 to 5k Bht and can't find big improvement in the top one ,if any.I have noticed those oblong cameras are rather obtrusive in a Car,no prob in a big SUV.If they don't start automatically it defies the objective

Funny to get a 16GB sd card when a 32 is already not enough.
 
 

You do realise that they run in a continuous loop ??

I use an 8gb runs 3 minute videos until full then overwrites .
Carry a spare, so if I want to view a video ( accident or funny etc) I just swap it over .

Dash Cam apps

There are several well-reviewed apps available that will turn your iPhone into a Dash Cam with the greatest of ease. All of our selections have a free version that you can try before making a full purchase.

OsmAnd DVR

OsmAnd DVR Dash Cam app

The app provides non-stop recording while you're on the road. Black screen mode means that your iPhone can record the details of your drive without anyone else knowing your phone is even turned on. Pretty sneaky. You can record in portrait or landscape mode, too.

You'll be able to run Apple Maps while recording, so you can navigate the city streets while your iPhone takes in all the action. Transferring your video from iPhone to laptop or desktop is done easily through your Camera Roll and AirDrop feature.

DashCam

DashCam app

The name says it all. The loop recording on DashCam also tracks your speed so you don't have to divide your attention between your iPhone and dashboard speedometer. The app works in landscape and portrait mode and allows you to access maps while you record.

Playback is easy within the app and the moment you start recording, DashCam timestamps your video. A special in-app feature allows you to quickly share snippets of your footage on YouTube; just be sure to pull over to the side of the road before sharing your masterpiece.

Car Camera

Car Camera app

A feature that sets Car Camera apart is the ability to embed data overlays in your Dash Cam footage, like time, speed, and coordinates. It even records audio. Your iPhone will record it all while giving you access to navigation maps, so that you know exactly how to get where you're going.

All of your footage stays stored in the app until you're ready to export it via AirDrop to compatible devices, or you can move footage from the app to your Camera Roll videos. Either way, it'll be easy to share your footage with the necessary parties.

SaveDrives

SaveDrives app

After you're done recording with the SaveDrives app, you'll be able to make notes and attach them to the video file — helpful if there are details that you are afraid might get missed or things that happened out of your iPhone's view.

The user friendly interface features an SOS function unique to SaveDrives. While setting up the app, users can pre-program an emergency contact who will receive a notification if the driver is in an accident.

CamOnRoad

CamOnRoad app

CamOnRoad is a little different because the app itself is totally free, as are the 2GB of cloud storage that automatically come with the app. If you want additional storage, you pay a subscription fee. Either way, you don't have to worry about exporting footage to another device or losing footage because you've run out of storage.

Your iPhone will be a black box and navigation system all in one device. The app is user friendly and well-reviewed, just keep in mind that a free app will allow the occasional pop-up. They won't interfere with your screen or distract you, but they will be there. Just a heads-up.

Only prob is the the Syngic free GPS isnt as detailed as HERE We GO, or Google Maps.Tried it this week n gone back to I Phone 7+ on Voice direction through hands free,and battered old Dash Cam.Never look at the Honda in car screen system, or any other built in ones apart from when new,novelty wore off years ago. Verdict 7.5.not bad.
