Recording is made with loop recording mode. This continuous recording mode overwrites old video as the SD card becomes full. There is also an emergency recording mode that is triggered by the built-in 3-axis G-Sensor. For example, when an impact is detected the dashboard camera will automatically start recording. There is a 32GB microSD card included in the box. The dashboar cameras record in two different resolutions:

1. 1920 x 1440p (Super HD) Front
2. 1920 x 1080p (Full HD) Front and Rear

Protect your no claims bonus with the Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3. There are many cases of false insurance claims whereby people carry out scams to claim on their insurance. The DVR-5HD Gen3 will provide evidence as to who was at fault leading up to and during an incident or accident.

There is a wide viewing angle of 155 degrees for recording on the Snooper front dashboard camera. The rear dashboard camera has a 130 degree viewing angle. Plus the windscreen mount rotates 360 degrees so that you can adjust the mount to record any view of the road that you choose.

The Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3 features a built-in battery which is designed to be used when your vehicle is parked. When motion is detected, the DVR-5HD Gen3 will record and the device sleeps when motion is not detected. The battery life is not suitable for powering the device for continuous recording mode.

Playback on your computer using Google Maps

GPS location data is saved to the Snooper dash cam so you can view your route as an overlay on Google Maps.

Optional speed camera locations

The Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3 gets the GPS speed camera data from the Snooper AURA speed camera database - subscription fees and connection to your Windows based PC apply. The database provides advanced warnings to known fixed and mobile speed camera locations across the UK, Europe and in a growing number of other countries across the world.

The Snooper AURA database is constantly updated with the latest locations - but you must regularly connect to an internet enabled PC to download the latest update. More information about the subscription charges can be found here or by scrolling down to 'Speed Camera Subscription' further down this webpage.

Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3 Questions and Answers

Question: Can I install the Snooper DVR 5HD rear camera on the outside. I want it as parking camera but I am not sure that it is the best choice for that?

Answer: The Snooper DVR-5HD G3 cameras (front and rear) are not waterproof. Therefore I would not recommend you position the camera on the outside of your vehicle.>

In addition the Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3 is not designed as a reversing or parking camera. When you select the reverse gear in your vehicle the Snooper DVR-5HD Gen3 screen will not automatically switch to show you the view from the rear camera and view from behind your vehicle.

The reversing/parking camera that we sell is the Garmin BC 30 Wireless Reversing Camera. The Garmin BC 30 is for use with compatible Garmin sat navs ONLY. It cannot be used on its own. We list the compatible Garmin sat navs that the BC 30 reversing camera will work with along with more information here.
