The world's smallest dash cam!
Conbrov T17 is the World’s smallest dash cam [or that’s what conbrov claims, we can’t conclusively confirm it but hey its pretty tiny…]
Being a size of 1.97(length) x 0.28(width) x 1.38(height), it captures video at 1080p resolution.
The dash cam mount(car bracket) has the ability to rotate 360° so you can record inside the car too.
Other features:
- Night vision
- G sensor
- Loop recording
What we don’t like about Conbrov T17:
Although it is a tiny dash cam, it comes with a 1.5″ LCD screen.
You may think it’s a great deal!, but a Display Screen will compromise the stealth. We at dashcamy believe this is not the best hidden car camera.
But, If you are interested in a small dash cam with screen Conbrov T17 is one to buy.
