Though steep but I found it good enough when comparing to all the ones I searched. Here is the tabular comparison of the MINI Series:Ĭost comparison (These are approximate prices of the cam taken from AliExpress with GPS logger): A CPL filter (Reduces glare) in 0806 whereas no such design for 0805.Cooling issue has been further addressed with more holes on the cover.View angle in 0805 is 120° whereas in the 0806 it is 135° (Not much but felt like an advantage).2 Memory card slots in 0806 whereas 0805 has 1.So after the little more research, I found the below points to be tilting in favour of MINI 0806 over MINI 0805. If budget permits I think the 806 would be the best option.

The 0806 also has a CPL filter, which is a great help in reducing glare and reflections from the dashboard. The 08 have addressed this by including ventilation slots. But after a bit more research and a suggestion from fellow BHPian in the DVR thread made me think again:Īnurag, this looks like the MINI 0801, which was reported to be prone to overheating. So the next one that was good enough after comparing specs was MINI 0805. Started off with a low budget, I began my search and narrowed on MINI 0801 but was discouraged due to heating issues. Need a glue type mount rather than suction mount.Good storage capacity so that I don't need to keep emptying the memory card.Small in size and must blend-in with the interiors (especially the IRVM).Day and night time videos must be good enough with number plate readability.Moreover I did think about the future where I will be doing road trips so a dashcam is a must so why not invest now and get familiar with its functioning so that I don't need to fumble around then. So I felt it is better to get one and I have has a few close calls already, I decided to invest in a decent Dashcam. After a lot of deliberation on whether to get a dashcam or not as the route I take is less populated but has a share of heavy vehicular traffic and idiotic taxi drivers.
