Road Angel Halo Play 4K Dash Camera

£399.98

I’m a big fan of having a dash camera in my car, as I like having the peace of mind that I have my own record of events should an accident occur. However, no matter the price range, many dash cameras struggle on bumpy roads and in low lighting can’t seem to capture a super clear image all the time. This makes me worry that should an accident occur in these instances, my camera may not be as helpful as I’d like. So when I saw the Road Angel have a range of 4K dash cameras that are designed with these instances I knew I had to try one to see how it compared in terms of image quality and functionality.

The Halo Play 4K Dash Camera provides a 4K Ultra HD front camera, accompanied by a 1080p full HD camera at the rear. The front provides a 1400 view of the road in front of you and boasts to be so high quality that it can capture 70% of what the human eye can see for next-level recording quality. After reviewing the footage from a few drives, I have to admit the image quality is super good and does make it feel like you literally have a pair of eyes recording the road in great detail for you.

One of the things that stood out was the Auto Image Stabilization which helps to prevent shaky footage even on the bumpiest of roads. My typical drive includes one particularly bumpy road, and even watching back the footage from this it was quite smooth. Whilst I’m not sure any dash camera can prevent all shaking; the stability settings of the Halo Play were definitely helping to produce a clearer shot.

Aside from its performance whilst driving, the Halo Play Dash Camera also features a parking mode. To use the parking mode, you do need to hardwire the dash camera into your car so it turns on and off with your ignition which does require a hardwiring kit that is not included. However, once installed the dash camera will watch over the car even whilst it is parked. The parking mode offers a time-lapse recording once movement is noticed outside or inside the car, the camera will also power up and record events. All recordings are stored on a microSD card in the camera, and link up with your phone via the Halo Playback App so you can watch any events back and easily share them should something have occurred.

Overall, I was super impressed by Road Angels’ Halo Play 4K Dash Camera; it is sleek, provides great image quality, can be easily accessed via the app and even protects your car whilst its parked. If you’re on the hunt for a new dash camera the Road Angel Halo Play is a great choice that will deliver crystal clear image quality no matter the road conditions or time of day.
