The Nextbase Piqo 2K sacrifices resolution for portability and smarts. Its tiny magnetic-mount design is the easiest to install and remove, and the Nextbase app with SOS features is class-leading. If 2K resolution is enough for your needs, the Piqo is the most user-friendly dash cam available.
Strengths
- Smallest dash cam in our roundup — truly pocketable magnetic mount design
- Excellent Nextbase app with emergency SOS and witness report features
