There's still time to bag a bargain dash cam

The hours are counting down now before all the Black Friday deals disappear for another year, but there's still time to bag a bargain or two, and statistics suggest dash cams have been hot property this year.

I recently did a deep dive into dash cam deals available on Amazon, you can read it here, but there's quite a few that have popped up from other big-name stores, so it's always worth a good look.

Dash cams are becoming a bit of a motoring must-have. Not only do they give you a chance of sharing funny motoring mishaps you spot on your journey, they could also be a key tool in getting you out of trouble if you're ever in an accident.

Here's a list of some of the best dash cam deals I've spotted from some of the Black Friday deals that are still on.

1. Road Angel Halo Go 1080p - was £99.99, now £69.99

I do love a discreet dash cam, and this is a decent discount from Halfords on a Road Angel device that performs all the basic functions it should.

It has a 140-degree viewing angle, it captures 1080p footage, but one of its stand-out features is its ability to defrost or demist the area of the windscreen it peers through by heating up gently. Such a clever trick.

I've tested one of these and I loved the compact size, and its performance was really good too. Road Angel makes some really nice kit, so don't miss this deal.

2. Garmin Mini 2 Car-key Size Dash Cam- was £119.99, now £99.99

Now this really is a discreet dash cam. Garmin says it's the size of a car key, which seems a bit of a spurious claim, but it's certainly small.

Despite its size, though, it does have some premium features. It offers 1080p recording, a 140-degree viewing angle, parking mode, and an "OK Garmin" voice command system.

If you like a minimalist look in your car, or you have limited windscreen space, this one is well worth a look.

3. Mio MiVue C420 Dual Full HD Front & Rear Dash Cam - was £139.99, now £104

I love Mio dash cams, and Currys is offering a big saving on this dual-channel device, which is ideal for recording front and rear views of the road.

They are trickier to install, but this is a great entry price for full front and back coverage.

Some people will prefer to have an LCD screen to work from, and this one manages to pack a small one into its diminutive frame, and I like the fact Mio offers a five-year warranty.

Not everyone will need or want a dual dash cam, but this is a great deal if you do.

4. Mio MiVue 818 1440p Dash Cam - was £169,99, now £124

Another Mio dash cam, and this one only has one camera, but it does pack in some very premium features.

Firstly, it's Quad HD, so expect some very crisp footage - and that's handy for picking out number plates from a distance away.

A 2.7" LCD screen will come in handy for setting it up, and this dash cam uses its on-board GPS sensor to warn you of speed cameras, which is really handy.

5. Viofo A119 Mini 2 - was £159.99, now £125.95

Viofo makes some really nice dash cams, I've tested plenty of them, and this one was one of my favourites.

It's surprisingly compact, but still packs in plenty of features, including a G-sensor, voice control and a small LCD display.

Its best feature, though, is its imaging capabilities - not only does it have 2K quad HD, but it features a Sony Starvis 2 Sensor, which is great in low light.

6. Nextbase dash cams - 50% off a second dash cam

Nextbase is one of the best dash cam brands out there, and it has a really interesting Black Friday deal if you buy directly from its website.

If you invest in one dash cam, you can buy a second one at half price. It's quite a clever deal.

The Nextbase 422GW

My recommendation would be to treat yourself to the £149 Alexa-enabled 422GW, then pick up the base model, a 122, for less than £30.

So you'd get a premium, feature-rich dash cam for yourself, and a surprisingly capable entry-level dash cam to give to a friend or family member for Christmas.
