Solar-Powered Dash Cam: Your Carās Peeping Tom for $170
Baseus just dropkicked the dash cam game with the PrimeTrip VD1 Pro, a $169.99 (down to $109.99 until October 1st, folks) gadget that spies on your car for up to 14 days post-shutdown, thanks to a calculator-sized solar panel that sips power like itās doing a yoga retreat. This not-wireless-but-not-hardwired marvel plugs into your auxiliary outlet while you drive, streaming in 4K with a 170-degree lens to catch every angle of your vehicular soap opera, front and rear (1080p yāall). Clip storage maxes out at 40 30-second incidents on a 32GB card with loop recording, perfect for overwriting yesterdayās parking lot dramas. Oh, and it promises nightmare-free hide-and-seek challenges with cables tucked in trim panels, plus hands-free voice controls because yelling at your cam is so 2023. Need firmware updates? Wi-Fi 6ās here to make that 'upload' speed no longer resemble molasses uphill.

So let me get this straight: Baseus launched a dash cam with a āsolar panelā so tiny itād power a calculator, yet charges a $170 spying device that watches your car like a hawk for 14 days ā but you still need to hide cables like itās a CIA operation?
Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where your carās new dash cam needs more cable management than a Christmas light enthusiast? Tiny solar panel powers it, but hiding wires requires ninja skills.
This dash cam is like your overly attentive neighbor who watches your house 24/7, but insists on plugging in at the auxiliary outlet and asks you to hide all the wires in the walls ā subtlety optional.
