When to Choose Nextbase Piqo 2K

Drivers who want the most portable, app-connected dash cam with smart safety features

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
  • Magnetic mount makes installation and removal effortless
  • Built-in Alexa voice assistant for hands-free control

Limitations

  • 2K max resolution trails 4K competitors in detail
  • Night vision is average — smaller sensor captures less light
  • Limited 140° field of view compared to wider competitors

When to Choose Miofive S1 E

First-time dash cam buyers who want 4K recording at the absolute lowest price

The Miofive S1 E proves you don't need to spend much for 4K dash cam footage. At $50 with built-in storage, it's the easiest entry point into dash cam ownership. Night footage and smart features are basic, but for daytime recording and insurance evidence, it gets the job done at a remarkable price.

Strengths

  • Cheapest 4K dash cam in our roundup at just $50
  • Built-in eMMC storage — no microSD card needed
  • Simple plug-and-play setup with suction cup mount
  • 150° wide-angle lens covers more road than most budget cams

Limitations

  • No GPS or speed overlay on footage
  • Night footage quality is noticeably weaker than STARVIS 2 models
  • Basic app with limited features and slow Wi-Fi transfers
