Dash cams aren’t always pretty to look at, let alone intuitive to use. Some look like miniature surveillance equipment, while others make you navigate menus that seem determined to test your patience. But the new VUEROID H1 QHD Infinite Dash Cam wants to change that, starting with a design inspired by something familiar: a smartwatch.
No, you can’t wear it on your wrist. But you do get a round 1.6-inch touchscreen with an interface designed for tapping and swiping, making it particularly approachable for first-time dash cam owners. There’s also voice control, allowing you to start, stop, or save manual recordings, toggle audio recording, and activate Wi-Fi without taking your hands off the wheel.
Underneath that smartwatch-inspired exterior is a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor that captures 2,560 × 1,440 pixels at 30 fps, with a 160° diagonal field of view. A built-in CPL filter helps reduce windshield reflections, while GPS, a three-axis G-sensor, and 5 GHz Wi-Fi round out the essentials.
Parking surveillance is pretty flexible, too. You can power the camera using an external USB-C battery pack without hardwiring your car. However, more advanced parking features, including power-saving recording, battery voltage monitoring, and automatic low-voltage cutoff, require the optional hardwire kit.
Other highlights include microSD support up to 512 GB, USB-C file transfers, and over-the-air firmware updates. There’s even an extreme low-power parking mode that draws just 1 mA in standby and wakes in under a second when an impact is detected.
The VUEROID H1 QHD Infinite Dash Cam is available through the official website and Amazon, with a regular price of US$167.99. VUEROID has also advertised a promotional price of US$149.99.
