New cars and trucks usually come with the latest security and safety features, including cameras that give a greater field of vision and can also make recordings of traffic incidents that can be valuable in potential legal actions. If you have an older vehicle or base model of a new model, however, a DIY dashcam is what you need.
The REDTIGER Dashcam has front and rear HD recording cameras, night vision, built-in Wi-Fi GPS, and many other safety features, and right now at Amazon it’s marked down from $199 to $130 — a 35% discount. But there’s also an on-page $20 coupon that drops the price even further, making this a $110 safety feature that is a great addition to any vehicle.
Auto-Recording, GPS, and 24-Hour Monitoring
With 170 degrees of 4K vision on the front and 140 degrees of 1080p to the rear — with night vision to boot — the REDTIGER gives you a comprehensive field of view around your vehicle, and it automatically captures and records footage to provide you with constant surveillance, even when your car is parked. The videos are saved onto the included 32GB data card, which you can upload to your computer via a card reader or USB-C cable and, if necessary, download and save the ones should an incident occur and you need evidence. If there is an accident, the REDTIGER will automatically record and lock the video so you can’t accidentally delete or overwrite it.
Download the REDTIGER app to your smartphone, and you can control the system from there. It’s an all-in-one, easy-to-operate safety blanket for your vehicle.
Fast and Easy Installation
You can have a dashcam professionally installed at a big-box electronics store or car audio store, but that’s almost always going to be expensive. Even if you don’t consider yourself handy, the REDTIGER is exceptionally easy to install. The screen, GPS bracket, and front camera form one lightweight, palm-sized unit which attaches to your windshield with a suction cup. The rear camera adheres to the inside of the rear window with included two-sided tape. One cable attaches to your car charger, the other runs to the rear camera and is easily secured and hidden with the included wire trim tool. That’s it. Install the app on your phone, start the car, and you’re up and running.
Both cameras are heat- and cold-resistant, and the 32GB data card is included. And should you buy a new vehicle, the REDTIGER is just as easy to remove from your old vehicle and reinstall in your new one. Throw in the 18-month warranty, and this $200 dashcam that can be grabbed today at Amazon for just $110 (don’t forget the $20 on-page coupon) is a great deal even just for the peace of mind it provides.
