The Road Angel PureSync is a subscription-based dash cam that provides live speed camera alerts and real-time traffic updates. It aims to combine the functionality of a traditional dash cam with the convenience of connected services.
Design and Build Quality
The PureSync features a compact, discreet design that mounts easily to the windshield. The device has a 2.4-inch screen and a 1080p camera capable of recording at 60 frames per second. Build quality is solid, with a premium feel despite its plastic construction.
Features and Subscription
The key selling point is its subscription model, which costs £9.99 per month or £99.99 per year. This includes access to live speed camera alerts, traffic updates, and cloud storage for footage. The camera also offers parking mode and GPS tracking.
Performance
Video quality is good, with clear footage during the day and adequate performance at night. The live alerts are accurate and timely, though they require a constant data connection via a built-in SIM card. The app is user-friendly, allowing easy access to footage and settings.
Pros and Cons
Pros include excellent live alert functionality, good video quality, and a comprehensive app. Cons include the ongoing subscription cost and the need for a data connection. Some users may prefer a one-time purchase dash cam.
Verdict
The Road Angel PureSync is a solid choice for drivers who want live alerts and cloud storage. However, the subscription fee may be a barrier for some. It competes well with other connected dash cams in the market.
