“The day and night video quality is exceptionally sharp – licence plates and signs come through perfectly clear.”
People who want extra peace of mind when driving could find a dash cam to be a useful addition to the car. This 4K dash cam available at Amazon is being hailed as highly effective and excellent quality for the price, coming in at £36.53 down from £42.99.
Designed to record what is happening on the road in front of a vehicle, it also comes with a rear camera to record events behind the car, too. The main camera records in 4K, making for a clear and detailed image which could come in useful when wanting to check details such as license plates and signs. The rear camera records in 1080P.
One particularly useful feature is parking mode. When enabled, if the vehicle is knocked or hit, the camera can detect the impact and save relevant footage. This could be reassuring for those who regularly leave their cards parked in busy areas or on the street.

When it comes to Amazon’s 4K dash cam, buyers are satisfied that the device is ‘very easy’ to install at home. One person said: “I’m very impressed with the C5 Dashcam. The 4K video quality is excellent, with clear and sharp footage that captures plenty of detail, even in challenging lighting conditions.
“The camera is compact and discreet, so it doesn’t take up much space on the windscreen and looks great in the car. Installation was straightforward, and once set up, it’s very easy to use. The recording is reliable, and features such as loop recording and parking monitoring provide extra peace of mind when driving or when the car is parked.”
A second shopper explained: “Very happy with this dash cam so far. I bought it mainly because I wanted both front and rear cameras, and having both gives me much better coverage while driving. The image quality is clear and the 4K front camera captures plenty of detail.
“The setup was easy, and I like being able to connect it to my phone through the Wi-Fi and app. It makes transferring and viewing footage much easier without having to remove the memory card. The 64GB card being included is also a nice bonus.
“I also like the parking mode and g-sensor features, as they give some extra reassurance when the car is parked. The loop recording is useful too, as I don’t have to keep manually managing the footage. It offers amazing peace of mind for a very affordable price.”
Giving some feedback, another customer suggested an improvement. They wrote: “Would be good if it had native options to wire without USB connection so it’s completely discreet.”
But, another person found it highly effective for the price paid, commenting: “For the price, I honestly don’t think you can go wrong. Great quality, easy installation, excellent features and fantastic value for money. I would definitely recommend this dash cam to anyone looking for a reliable front and rear setup without spending a fortune.”
