Sometimes you just need a camera in your car to capture notable events like the accident that you’re involved in or the hit & run that you just witnessed. And getting out your smartphone to record incidents is not just dangerous while you’re driving but also an inconvenience. With the Cobra CDR 840 Drive HD Dash Camera, you can do just that. There are a lot of solutions out there like installing a GoPro camera or some other digital cameras but the Cobra CDR 840 Drive HD Dash Camera is really built for the car. It comes with a tiny 1.5” LCD display which keeps the camera at a small form factor which is important for me. I wouldn’t want to advertise that I have a camera in my car. I was considering buying a Mobius camera for a cheaper price. But for a few more dollars, the Cobra CDR 840 Drive HD Dash Camera comes with a few more features that I really like. Unlike other cameras, this one comes with a GPS chip to record your vehicle position, direction, and speed. It can continually record HD 1080p video to the included 8 GB microSD card but thanks to the G-Sensor, it can detect if you’re braking hard, as in an accident, and could trigger recording right then and there. Another option is the
HP F310 Car Dash Camcorder. If, however, you like to take action video and have your camera double up as a dash cam, then consider the
GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition Camera Bundle.
