The Aukey DR01 dashcam is an affordable dashcam that is simple to use and set up which you can see in the unboxing experince below. It has a simple UI and is not touch based but you use buttons instead to control the features however it has most features you expect to find at this price point giving you protection on your journey.
There is just 4 buttons on the dashcam to use and all easy to do so with the simple UI that allows you navigate through the menus and set up the device and you are then good to go, Mounting the unit to is simple with a suction cup that can be placed anywhere in the vehicle and easy to remove should you have more than one vehicle or just want to reposition the unit. You can also alter its angle with the mount in any direction which is good for getting the angle right which some mounts do not offer.
When it comes to function this is what is on board.

Aukey Magnetic dashboard carmount
These I love for several reasons. Better than the window mounts that dont last long and ease of use plus the option to place almost anywhere in the car. How do they work. In the two pack we have you get two mounts plug some magnets with 3M pads to mount the main body on your dash and one for the back of your phone. and both magnetic and also these will work with most phone cases on too depending on how thick they are on the back. If you have two cars you can have one in each or with one car you can have one on the passenger side if you have a regular passenger or partner sharing the vehicle. Additionally these can be used at home or in the office too and not restricted to just your car and I find these a must have for anyone. To note you get the choice of two pads for your phone you can stick to your case if you like,there is a circular pad and a bigger square pad for heavier devices.
Aukey 3 port usb car charger
A common sight in petrol stations and euro shops.. You get what you pay for from either a euro or two up to ten euro depending on where and petrol stations just like earphones and cables they sell you are typically fleeced at the till and I would avoid at all costs. This is another hand kit to have in your car especially if you have more than one device to charge or again carry another passenger so for taxi men for example an great bit of kit to have to charge customers phones. This offers 3 ports and can be bought in a range of variants with one or two ports for example. This also comes with quick charge and a USB-C cable in the box to get you going,this is another must have if you travel often.
