New entry to dash cam market packs impressive 4K camera into a compact package
Compared with some units fitted with viewing screens, the Miofive is a pretty neat package. At 116x50x55mm it’s not quite as compact as thewe’ve tested but its long rectangular shape is almost as small as some screenless cameras while still fitting in a usable 2.2-inch display. The size and shape means it sits neatly out of sight behind a rear view mirror, although the slimline mount uses an adhesive pad so you need to make sure it’s positioned correctly first time.
Although you can use the screen and on-device controls, the Miofive also has an accompanying mobile app that allows you to view and download footage from the camera and adjust settings. Compared with some apps we’ve used, the Miofive one is easy to set up and use, with quick hassle-free connection to the camera and a simple interface.
At the heart of the camera is a f1.8 lens with a 140-degree field of view feeding into a sensor from Sony. This is capable of capturing footage at 4K resolution or you can sacrifice resolution for a step up to a higher 60fps frame rate at 1080p.The 4K footage is suitably impressive. Images are clear and sharp and important details such as number plates are easy to make out, even on cars travelling at motorway speeds.
The camera also features an impact-activated parking mode to capture footage if you’re car is hit while unoccupied and there’s an option to hardwire the device for timelapse monitoring as well.
