One thing that Vava’s Dash Cam spoiled me with was its large, separate Bluetooth still-capture button. There are four buttons on the back of the camera that allow you to navigate the interface via the unit’s 2.4-inch color display. As you’ll see in the performance section, window glare kills your chance of monitoring anything in back of the vehicle. While the DrivePro 520’s interior camera swivels only horizontally, it will capture just about anything in the cabin that’s not hidden behind the seats or another obstruction.
If that’s what you want, check out these dual-channel models we’ve reviewed: Blackvue DR750S-2CH and Cobra CDR895D. It’s wonderful for tracking the driver and rear seats, and it swivels 180 degrees for additional front coverage.īecause the rear-facing camera is so distant from your rear windshield, however, all you’ll see of the back view is glare-in other words, you won’t be able to use this camera to monitor rear traffic. However, the place where the film would go is actually the horizontally rotating interior camera. The DrivePro 520’s physical appearance reminds one of nothing more than a small XLR film camera. Only one type is included in the package. The DrivePro 520 is also easy to use and takes good video, but you need to commit to the type of mount (semi-permanent or suction) you want ahead of time. (If you need only a front-facing camera or if you’d rather the second camera looked behind the car rather than into the car’s backseat, check out the other reviews in our big dash cam roundup.) The feature could be a boon for cab, Lyft, Uber, and even family drivers. Transcend’s DrivePro 520 is our first look at a dual-channel camera with a secondary mission that isn’t tracking the traffic behind you, but monitoring your car’s interior.
