Digital Camera World Verdict

The MiVue 798 Pro dash cam by Mio gives the option of 2.8K video at a low frame rate or 1080p at impressive 60fps. It also has a high-quality Sony Starvis sensor and a suite of driver assistance features for those who want them. Setup is simple enough, while GPS adds speed and location data to recordings, and transferring video via Wi-Fi and the Mio smartphone app is mostly painless. The windscreen mount could be better, but it otherwise does the job and holds the camera securely.
