Product Information

Transferring data uses a different type of encryption to the ones used to scramble data on the device itself. Encryption effectively scrambles that data and will only unscramble it when it's accessed in the proper way, usually by the user inputting a password. Power up your camera by connecting to constant power source such as your vehicles CLA adapter or a household outlet.

The Nextbase 128GB U3 microSD Cardcan record 16 hours of HD footage, or 8 hours if using a Rear Camera Module. I found that I had to always have the camera plugged in as otherwise, it would not record any footage at all.You'll need a steady hand to fit it correctly and you'll have to make sure you get it in exactly the right place, first time. We contacted Viofo to make it aware of the problem and ask it to improve the security of its server, but we are yet to hear back. Our Nextbase SD card controller and Firmware on the SD card achieves the requirements from our Dash Cam, where other SD cards cannot.

Conversely, you may also find that you don’t need extra bells and whistles, so could save a pretty penny by switching to a lower model. Built into the cable about a foot away from the camera end is the GPS receiver, which needs to be stuck onto the windscreen where it can “see” the sky to allow for it to gain a signal. As well as data on the dash cam itself being encrypted, data being sent between the dash cam and the control app needs to be encrypted, too.This meant that it wasn’t a distraction while I was driving but I could still get to it if I needed to remove it easily. Note: all our Dash Cams loop record which means the oldest footage is overwritten by the newest footage. Yes, we recommend formatting your SD card every 3-4 week for regular every day users; and 2-3 weeks for heavy users.

here for the compatible SD card storage sizes – 128GB is the maximum for our Dash Cams, the minimum varies depending on the Dash Cam. If data isn't encrypted, then anyone gaining access to a device nefariously can sift through your data as effortlessly as flicking through a magazine. Weak encryption means that it's easier for a hacker to turn any information they access on the dash cam itself into something useful. Lastly here is some footage from the morning I drove to Stanstead, just to give you an idea of what the camera is like in less than optimal conditions. I've tried formatting in computer (I know, not recommended) but can't get any formatted formats that the system will accept.I tried several times to gain access to the camera over a Wi-Fi connection and not once did it work. The overall score includes ratings for day and night video, the quality of moving video, and the horizontal range of footage captured. It seemed that no matter how many times I did the rest it was would always end up skipping forward or back a few hours. It wouldn't take much effort on the part of manufacturers to shut that window entirely, and we think they should.

The actual interface of the camera comprises of 2 menus for the camera side of things and then a settings menu. While the majority of the dash cams we tested had weak default passwords and a third had poor encryption, some of the issues we found were unique to one dash cam: Viofo's. Nextbase have spent years testing, trialling and developing SD cards to optimise their performance with our Dash Cams. And, importantly, it doesn't mean that they don't need to be equally secure as any internet of things (IoT) device. Avoid just plugging it in and leaving the cable hanging; route it along your windshield edge to the power socket, but be sure not to place it near any airbags (check your car’s manual to find out where these are placed).

We found that not a single dash cam we tested offered fully Fort Knox-worthy security, protecting your footage like gold bullion, and some were potential security sieves. A) If you are using a Rear Camera Module and a Dash Cam you need to ensure that a U3 SD card is used inside the camera. Dash cams must be fitted so that they don't obstruct the drivers' vision, otherwise you could liable to pay a fine. They are made for specific use with our Dash Cams and can be purchased from many retailers with a variety of storage capacities offered. I mean this is not something that you would expect from a Wi-Fi enabled bit of kit; being told to download an app from a 3rd party to get your videos and content.
