dxllon01You guys should try the road angel halo pro, 4k quality and includes parking mode so recording when car isn’t on too, just got mine installed by Halfords and it’s awesome
Frequent-Glass-2407One thing I would stress is that get a dash cam that’s easy to pull footage out from. When I mean easy I mean requires no thought process at all. I have a road angel halo pro and the app is easy to use but can be slightly glitchy at times. When I was hit by a third party, those small glitches caused me to completely lose my head and crash because of the adrenaline I had. I managed to retrieve the footage but it took me far longer than it should’ve.
Heavy-Light-3784Halo pro - (app is not the best ) but very good footage
Smart-Diamond4183I have this halo pro: https://roadangelgroup.com/products/road-angel-halo-pro-front-and-rear-dash-cam Both front and rear video quality is great, parking mode etc. The only thing that i don't like is if i want to get access to the videos i have to remove the micro sd card (maybe all dash cams like this), using the official app won't give access to all just for the short 10 sec ones (when the camera thinks something might have happened) ergo if you're in an accident then no chance to go through all videos, that feels proper crap.
Vogue1AI have the Road Angel Halo Pro. No screen and wired in. I think for your £250 budget all the options will be similar. In any case good call. I am amazed more people haven't got Dash Cams yet given the quality of driving nowadays.
fr05t03Iv got that dashcam and the app is dreadful. Apart from that it's pretty good 👍
Specialist_Pop_9848Halo pro from Argos £200 front and rear cameras easy to install been absolutely flawless, fast quick connection fast downloads onto the app on your phone. More money than £50 but well worth It
Avoid next base.. bought a Halo form Argos been superb
Altruistic_Part_490I have the halo front and rear. I recommend you don't get it. The rear is always darker then it should be. The front always has over exposure when the sun is in front. They don't make cpl filters for road angel cameras either. The app in my opinion is crap. I have a relatively decent, mid range phone and it doesn't work. I can't download clips, viewing the footage back is very laggy. The app is honestly useless to me, other than viewing live, which works. I have to remove the SD card and stick it in my laptop to view the footage. The app is never updated, neither is the camera firmware. I've also had issues with the hard wire kit failing (official) and the camera messing up the SD card. I had to format it again and lose all my data before the camera would recognise it again. All in all, avoid Road Angel or Halo cameras.
