Uniden iGO CAM 75R
Verified2 reviews
Modern cars increasingly have a speed sign recognition facility, but it seems to be an after thought. I've been looking a long time for a dash cam that could read speed signs and alert me when they change so I don't inadvertently speed. The iGo Cam 75 has this feature and it works well. Uniden says their other cams don't. There are not many in Australia that do. This cam was easy to install. Two brackets are included (one per car) which stick to the windscreen in a similar way to toll tags. It can be tricky to line up the camera correctly before the adhesive grabs the windscreen, but luckily, after pulling the mount off 3 times, it still stuck well for the 4th and final attempt. The camera then easily slides onto the mount so it can easily be swapped to a second car. In operation, the nice lady inside the dash cam announces every sign she sees in a clear loud voice. My daughter (the intended recipient) said it was annoying. I said "PERFECT". In the last couple of months she has missed speed signs to the tune of over $1,000. The display can be set up to constantly show actual GPS speed rather than display the road ahead (I can see the road ahead thru the windscreen), but actual speed is what I want her to see, in nice big digital numbers which stand out more than the speedo in her car and are at eye level. It has done it's job very well. I dropped one star because I feel it should go one extra step. It can read and announce the speed sign. It can constantly display actual speed. It would be the ultimate device if it permanently displayed the last speed sign alongside actual speed - and added an overspeed alarm that you could set 1, 2 or 3 km/hr above the speed sign limit. A speed alarm that changes setting with each change of speed sign limit. This would be perfection. I've already sent the suggestion to Uniden. I hope it happens. I haven't reviewed the dash cam recording part because that part isn't what I was after with this dash cam. I just want to cut out speeding fines. A great purchase.
Purchased in at JB Hi-Fi for $214.
Not suitable for ALL cars! – I had this in the car a few months from July '24 and noticed an annoying noise being picked up by the mic. Turns out the 5 x operational buttons were vibrating as my 38yo 'hot-hatch' car has a loud (legal) exhaust note and that combined with a sporty twin-cam motor causes vibrations through the firewall and obviously up the windscreen. If the buttons were taped up the sound went away but that was just plain stupid. Unit went back to Uniden (with a sd card showing the problem) and they tested it in their car and surprisingly, couldn't replicate the noise. After seeking an outcome they have offered a replacement model which doesn't include the poorly designed buttons (unless you drive a modern quiet boring car with plenty of sound deadening etc). So, just be warned - these design of dash cams are not suited to sporty, noisy hot-hatch cars that like to rev hard!
