Transcend Drivepro 200
CAUGHT ON CAMERA! No, not a reference to a minor traffic infringement or embarrassing moment. This month’s feature gadget is the Transcend Drivepro 200. This in car camera records in HD at 30 frames per second in seamless high quality video and audio (if activated). With built in wifi you can connect to a PC, phone, tablet and more to effortlessly download video files and share (or keep) via the app.

With a 2.4” driver facing LCD screen you can see what’s being recorded, and a built in G sensor detects impact and will automatically protect the preceding moments before a collision and immediately after. Seven glass lenses – with a 160-degree view and 1080p resolution – allow for pristine imagery in both daylight and darkness.

The Transcend Drivepro 200 retails at £75-80 and comes with a 16GB micro SD card, wires, windscreen attachment and guide. Setup is simple – connect, turn on, and go! Trust me, I bought one. This in-car tech serves as a reliable and effective means to evidence your actions and that of others, but beware – it’ll record your poor driving as well as your good!
