  • Built-in LTE with Thinkware Cloud for live GPS tracking and push notifications
  • Radar-based parking mode detects motion even in covered parking
  • Dual 4K channels with Sony STARVIS 2 sensors

Limitations

  • Most expensive dash cam in our roundup at $580
  • Cloud features require monthly subscription after trial period

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
