Product Information

The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Motorola. However, they do still exist, and they do make dashcams. Whether or not they do it well, however, is another question entirely. We’ll be taking a look at the Motorola MDC100 and working out whether or not it’s worth your hard-earned cash. Read on to see what we thought…

It’s highly likely, unless you’re a hard-line dashcam aficionado with a collection case full of the things at home, that you had no idea Motorola made dashcams. They’re far better known for their mobile phones (who remembers the catchy ‘Hello Moto’ jingle from their old ads?) and, more recently, their smartwatches. In fact, you might be forgiven for thinking the company doesn’t exist anymore for the amount the name is heard nowadays. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Dash cams category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Motorola. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Motorola branded products in the Dash cams category. Is this Transcend dash cam worth the extra money and what was its video quality like in our tough lab tests? Our full Transcend DrivePro 550 review reveals all. Latest dash cams on test The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Motorola is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Dash cams category.It's equipped with the standard features we would expect for a model of this price, including a useful two-inch display screen to review footage directly on the dash cam. The priciest dash cam in this batch and Transcend's most expensive model to date, the DrivePro 550 has a lot to prove. The 1080p video footage that you get out of the MDC300GW is perfectly acceptable and the built-in stability control irons out most bumps and shudders caused by uneven road surfaces. The low lux sensor performs well in low light situations and the 3-inch rear touchscreen is one of the largest (and crispest) around, making interacting with the various menus and settings very easy. The camera also comes with standard G-Sensor impact detection, meaning that you don’t need to worry about important footage of an incident being overwritten. This feature is common amongst almost all dashcams, so it’s good to see they didn’t skimp on it here. Summary Overall, when it comes to sheer design and aesthetics, the Motorola MDC300GW is one of the best looking dashboard cameras in the market today. Performance –

As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.As well as the Motorola MDC150, Thinkware F70 and Transcend DrivePro 550, the latest batch of dash cams we've tested in our lab also includes: The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Dash cams category, of which we found 22 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.
