Co Pilot Digital Dash Cam (CPDVR1)

Description

Genuine Co Pilot · Part no. CPDVR1

The Co Pilot CPDVR1 is a simple dash cam that films the road ahead in 720p HD and shows the picture on its own 2.4 inch screen, so you can check the view and play clips back in the car. It holds to the windscreen on a suction mount, covers a 90 degree view, takes micro-SD cards of up to 32GB, and can record photos and voice as well as video.

Good to know

• Which memory card does it take? A micro-SD card of 32GB or smaller; larger cards are beyond what this camera supports, so check the capacity printed on the card before you buy one.
• How do I get footage off it? Connect the camera to a computer with the USB cable that comes in the box, or take the card out and read it in a card reader.
• Where should it go on the glass? Behind the rear-view mirror is the usual spot: it sees the road over the bonnet and stays out of your line of sight. Press the suction mount onto clean, dry glass.
• Who is it right for? A driver who wants straightforward forward recording with a screen; it lists no GPS or Wi-Fi, so speed and location will not be stamped on the footage.

Which one?

For sharper footage, GPS and a hard-wire kit in the box, the OSRAM ROADsight PRO 20 (OTDC20) records at 1296p with a 140º view; to cover the back of the car as well, the OSRAM OTDC30 adds a 1080p rear camera.
