I installed the Miofive app onto a Google Pixel Android phone via the Play Store, connecting the phone to the dash cam via 5GHz Wi-Fi. It would have been great if the rear camera’s cable was the same diameter as the one for the front camera. Depending on the design of your car, you may have to get a little more creative to ensure that the cable is tucked neatly away.

I couldn’t place the dash cam fully out of view behind the rear view mirror because of the design of my windscreen, which blocks the camera view. The field of view might not be wide enough for some, but the camera is better at picking out details such as number plates, which would otherwise appear smaller in a 165-degree or 180-degree camera.ĭesign is largely the same in both the 4K and Dual model the front camera is slim, modern and slick, and sits flush behind your rear view mirror. This covers the view of your front and rear windscreens, but not the periphery in the same way that a 165-degree offering from the likes of Garmin does.
