With a 4K sensor and an f/1.5 lens, you can capture hard-to-see details like license plates, even at night. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Imagine this: You're stopped at a red light when the car in front of you starts to back up. Before you have time to think, let alone drive away, bam! They hit your car, but claim you rear-ended them. Unfortunately, these kinds of insurance scams happen all too often, and unless you have a dash cam that shows what actually happened, you might be shelling out a lot of dough to make this problem go away. Fortunately, high-quality dash cams don't have to cost an arm and a leg: For instance, the No. 1 bestselling RedTiger 4K Dash Cam is on sale for its lowest-ever price.
Imagine this: You're stopped at a red light when the car in front of you starts to back up. Before you have time to think, let alone drive away, bam! They hit your car, but claim you rear-ended them. Unfortunately, these kinds of insurance scams happen all too often, and unless you have a dash cam that shows what actually happened, you might be shelling out a lot of dough to make this problem go away. Fortunately, high-quality dash cams don't have to cost an arm and a leg: For instance, this dash cam is on sale for its lowest-ever price thanks to this lightning deal.
At 40% off, this is a no-brainer. No one wants to get into an accident, let alone have to deal with the huge (and likely, very pricey) headache of a lawsuit after the fact. And at $120, this is a few bucks less than this dash cam's previous record low.
Not all dash cams are created equal. This bestseller can capture what's going on outside your car in 4K, which is important when you're trying to make out details like license plate numbers, especially when you're driving at night. Speaking of nighttime driving, the f/1.5 aperture lens allows this camera to capture a quality image even in low light.
Not all accidents happen in front of you, which is why the RedTiger comes with a rear camera as well. It captures a wide, 140-degree-angle field of view, so you're covered in both the front and rear. The camera automatically detects crashes and locks and saves the video, just in case you can't.
The videos are easy to view and manage thanks to the RedTiger app, and you can download and share images and videos right from your phone. Once the camera's memory card is full, you can delete the images from the app or camera, but if you forget, the camera will keep recording in loop mode, so you'll stay protected.
More than 10,000 reviewers use the RedTiger 4K Dash Cam, and more than 7,000 have given it a five-star rating.
One five-star shopper loved how easy the app was to use. "Worth every penny. I have one in my work truck and my car. Amazing clarity and the footage is soooo easy to pull up on your phone. Just log in to the app, connect to the camera and BAM, you're done."
"Regarding the company, I purchased a previous model in the past," wrote a second happy RedTiger customer. "All worked great but I think being in harsh desert sun all day took a toll on them. A couple recently failed and required some troubleshooting and they were not recoverable. Despite being well outside the warranty period, both units were replaced without question. This company stands behind [its] product and has shown outstanding customer service on multiple occasions — I would buy this again."
Another reviewer was able to save themselves a legal headache after an accident: "Recently there was an incident I had where the camera really saved me. I had someone strike my vehicle, then they spun several tales to the police that both the audio of the camera, the front camera and even the rear proved every tale was false. That alone has paid for itself in not having to pay legal fees."
Not everyone thought the dash cam was perfect, with some mentioning a short rear camera cable, slow transfer times and the size of the screen.
"One con I do have with this is that when wanting to download video while on scene through Wi-Fi is incredibly slow (think 10 minutes for a single camera 5-minute clip)," said this reviewer, adding, "playback tends to [stutter] when playing it [directly to my] phone over Wi-Fi. If you take [the] SD card and place it in a reader, you can copy it way faster and play it live with no issues."
Another shopper, who still gave the dash cam five stars, thought the screen size was lacking. "When playing back the video, the informational text for things like time stamp, GPS etc. shows up at the bottom of the screen, which can sometimes make it hard to read, since it's also very small."
