If you’ve ever had to leave your car parked for a few days while traveling — or returned to find a new dent that wasn’t there before — Baseus’ PrimeTrip VD1 Pro might be worth checking out. The dash cam records in 4K and keeps watch even when the car’s turned off, and right now, you can buy it for around $110 ($60 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date.
The dash cam stands out thanks to its built-in solar panel, which extends the rechargeable battery’s life so it can keep recording for up to 14 days even when your car’s parked and turned off. When the system detects motion or an impact, it automatically turns on to capture 30-second clips from both the front and rear cameras. It can then store up to 40 clips (or 20 incidents) on the included 32GB microSD card, which you can upgrade if you need more space. Just note that you’ll need good lighting to get up to 14 days, so an underground garage can reduce battery life.
Aside from keeping an eye on your car when you’re away, the PrimeTrip VD1 Pro is also useful while driving. Its 4K front camera offers a wide 170-degree field of view for continuous recording, while a secondary 1080p rear camera features a 120-degree field of view for capturing what’s happening behind you.
A couple of extra ways to save
- Our readers can pick up the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 Portable Power Station for $349 ($451 off) from Wellbots when they use the code 80VERGEBF. The portable power station is equipped with two USB-C ports, three AC outlets, and two USB-A ports, allowing you to power everything from laptops and cameras to small kitchen appliances. The power station can also deliver up to 1,500W of output but is still lightweight and easy to carry, making it ideal for camping trips.
- Priced at $199.99 when new, you can buy the Eufy Robovac 11S Max Robot Vacuum in refurbished condition for just $86 with a two-year warranty from Anker’s eBay storefront when you use the code TECH4THEM. If you just need a solid robot vacuum that gets the job done, this basic bump-and-run bot is a good pick. It offers a respectable 2,000Pa of suction power and features replaceable parts. There’s no Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can’t control it with an app, but it does include a remote that lets you set cleaning schedules.
- The Echo Spot is on sale for $54.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, which is $10 shy of its all-time low price. The smart alarm clock features a customizable 2.83-inch display that can show the weather, music playback, and other useful information, but without on-screen ads or a built-in camera like Amazon’s Echo Show displays. It also doubles as an Alexa-enabled smart speaker, offering surprisingly good sound quality and allowing you to control smart home devices, set reminders, play music, and more completely hands-free.
