WINTER HEAT MODE - The Road Angel-exclusive Winter Mode, available when using the Halo Hard Wire Kit, keeps the unit operating 24 hours a day, generating extra heat where needed to keep the windscreen glass clear of frost, Ice, condensation, and mist. Inch touchscreen The Halo View has a 10” touchscreen displaying the 1080P rear camera footage for a clear and crisp comprehensive view of what is happening behind you. I really liked the looked of both cameras and how they didn’t ‘stick out like a sore thumb’ when in place in my car.

I can still see the recordings on the screen should it be necessary for accident purposes and to show police but would be better if I could send them via phone. We would like to have seen wider lenses used by the Halo Pro, as 140 degrees is just about acceptable for a front camera, and 120 degrees is a little tight for the rear. As we have come to expect from Road Angel, as soon as you open the box – even the packing feels very well made - and gives a feel of great quality from the start. Viewed on a big screen, the 140-degree footage is crisp and well-defined, and it even handles sunshine glare really well. Like most dashcams, the Halo Pro records video in one-minute looping increments to protect against any catastrophic loss of data in the event of an accident.The video quality is excellent and I cannot fault that, however the storage of said footage makes it very difficult to access and replay, or to download if you needed to send footage to an insurer or law enforcement agency. Everything you need to keep safe on the road, and also takes the stress out of having to report accident to insurance company. The rear cable extension cable is about fifteen feet long and has connectors on both ends, one for the rear camera and the other for connecting to the main dashcam.

The Road Angel Halo View comes complete with a 2K 1440p 140° lens for the front camera, and 120° for the rear camera. Unlike most USB-C cables, the cable for the Halo Pro can only be inserted one way because of a small screw on one side of the plug which secures it to the dashcam. If you’d rather have a cheaper forward-facing option with decent 1080p footage, check out the Nextbase 322GW. You also can edit the super high-quality video footage when wanting to share with your insurance company, family, and friends. Since hardwiring the dashcam constantly draws power from your car’s battery it’s important to tell the dashcam how long to record for and when to power down to prevent it from draining your car’s battery.Tow Vehicle: 2013 Land Cruiser 200, 32” LT tires, airbags, Safari snorkel, Maggiolina Grand Tour 360 Carbon RTT. I picked a spot centered on my windshield and high enough for the camera to get an unobstructed view of the road over my hood.
