More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. It's equipped with the standard features we would expect for a model of this price, including a useful two-inch display screen to review footage directly on the dash cam. Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Dash cams category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget.
Matching its cheaper peers, this Transcend dash cam records in Full HD resolution at a maximum of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. It’s highly likely, unless you’re a hard-line dashcam aficionado with a collection case full of the things at home, that you had no idea Motorola made dashcams. They’re far better known for their mobile phones (who remembers the catchy ‘Hello Moto’ jingle from their old ads?) and, more recently, their smartwatches. In fact, you might be forgiven for thinking the company doesn’t exist anymore for the amount the name is heard nowadays. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Motorola is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Dash cams category.The camera also comes with standard G-Sensor impact detection, meaning that you don’t need to worry about important footage of an incident being overwritten. This feature is common amongst almost all dashcams, so it’s good to see they didn’t skimp on it here. Summary
As well as the Motorola MDC150, Thinkware F70 and Transcend DrivePro 550, the latest batch of dash cams we've tested in our lab also includes: The priciest dash cam in this batch and Transcend's most expensive model to date, the DrivePro 550 has a lot to prove.
If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.
The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Dash cams category, of which we found 22 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Dash cams category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Motorola. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Motorola branded products in the Dash cams category. The MDC300GW skips out some add-ons like driver assist and the ability to wake the driver in case he falls asleep, but that’s not really a complaint seeing that the device itself costs just AED419.
Transcend's fancy add-ons include headlight reminders to remind you to switch on your lights when it gets dark and fatigue alerts to encourage breaks during long drives.
Great Deal
