Just like the advert says, why get Dad something he doesn't want, when you could bring a smile to his face with something that will sit quietly in the motor, and make him feel confident when driving on our ever increasingly busy road systems - and have to navigate alongside the fools that we all come into contact with, all too frequently.
The NextBase 412GW dash cam is the best compact little piece of equipment to be introduced since the Sat Nav.
It's an easy set up, with no need for any external kit. The cam is charged in the cigarette lighter, which is a swift operation, and with that, you are good to go.
The kit can be mounted on top of the dashboard, or on the windscreen, just below your rear view mirror. We thought it might be a little distracting and obscure the view, but not in the slightest - you don't even remember it's there.
It records clear wide vision of the road, and you have the option of having the mic on or off.
And there is no need to keep switching the cam on or off - it's motion detector means it kicks into record mode at the first sign of movement.
The NextBase 412GW features built in Wifi to view and download the captured footage making it the perfect pal for any road trip.
And actually, this is one gadget that isn't just for Dad - it a perfect present for any smart motorist.
