"It's available now through Amazon for $169.99 (discounted to $109.99 with a coupon that expires on October 1st) and while the VD1 Pro doesn't need to be hardwired to your vehicle's electrical system or fuse box during installation, it's definitely not a wireless solution. While you're driving the main unit draws power from your vehicle's auxiliary outlet so its 4K camera with a 170-degree wide-angle field of view can record continually, ensuring the events leading up to an incident are captured."
"The VD1 Pro's solar panel is about as small as those used on calculators so the unit remains unobtrusive, but it only generates enough power to extend the dash cam's battery, not keep it charged indefinitely. As a result, you'll only get up to 14 days of what Baseus calls "standby parking monitoring." If you're parking someplace like an underground garage where the available lighting is limited, you can expect the battery life to be reduced."
PrimeTrip VD1 Pro pairs a rechargeable battery with a small solar panel to enable up to 14 days of standby parking monitoring triggered by motion or impacts. The front camera records in 4K while a wired 1080p rear camera captures the rear view. The main unit draws power from the vehicle auxiliary outlet and requires a concealed cable for the rear camera. The solar panel extends battery life but cannot keep it charged indefinitely, so low-light parking reduces standby duration. The system captures 30-second clips, stores up to 20 incidents or 40 clips on a 32GB microSD card, supports loop recording and voice controls. Price is $169.99 with a temporary Amazon coupon.
