This is a very neat and convenient system. However, the adhesive pad is magnetically attached to the mount, so the unit can easily be removed with the mount if you don’t want to leave it in the car when the device isn’t in use. There’s a second pad included in the box in case you get the positioning wrong, or need to move the camera.Īt first, this seems like a hindrance because there’s no obvious quick-release on the dash cam itself.

Inside is a CMOS of unspecified dimensions that boasts 3.7 megapixels. The Dash Cam 55 measures just W56.2 x D35.3 x H40.5mm, although the lens sticks out quite a lot from the body of the unit, almost doubling the depth.
