VIOFO, an innovative manufacturer of dash cams, has launched its latest product, the WM1, which is designed to be small, simple, and unobtrusive while still offering a range of impressive features. With a 2K Quad HD processor, high-quality Sony STARVIS sensor, super night vision, Wi-Fi connectivity, parking mode, GPS logger, and voice notifications, this pill-shaped dash cam provides power and peace of mind.
The WM1 is available for purchase at an affordable cost of $99.99 from VIOFO or $89.99 on Amazon.us.
VIOFO WM1 boasts a simple and screenless design. Despite its lack of a display, the camera is powered by a Sony STARVIS image sensor, allowing it to record in stunning 2K Quad HD resolution, making it a superior option compared to other screenless dash cams available in the market. The WM1’s compact size is further reduced due to the lack of a screen, which helps to minimize heat generation, and invisible wiring ensures that it does not compromise the neatness and aesthetics of your vehicle.
The WM1’s compact size and display-free design make it more user-friendly and allow it to fit perfectly behind or under your car’s rearview mirror. It’s small frame and hidden wiring also contribute to the aesthetics of your car’s interior without obstructing your view, making it suitable for all types of vehicles and reducing the likelihood of theft.
Key Features:
DESIGN
Compared to other screenless dash cams with mounts on top, the WM1 has a rotatable camera mount fixed at the back, making it smaller and easier to install covertly. It offers multiple angles for optimal viewing and the Type-C interface on the mount enhances wiring aesthetics and speed. The device comes with a bigger emergency lock button with a raised dot for easy identification and locking of files as evidence for traffic disputes or insurance claims.
2K Quad HD 30fps
With WM1, you can capture essential details like road signs and number plates both at day and night, with its stunning 1440P QHD recording at 30fps. The 135˚ angle of the camera provides a clear and broad view, reducing blind spots and allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your journey, capturing everything just as you see it.
Sony STARVIS Image Sensor
Equipped with a 1/2.8-inch Sony STARVIS image sensor, WM1 features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology that balances exposure over highlights and shadows, enabling it to capture more details in dark environments and provide safer and more reliable night vision. This feature allows the camera to reduce overexposure in very bright conditions, such as when the sun is shining directly into the lens, and improve image quality by increasing the overall brightness in very dark conditions, such as when driving through a tunnel or at night.
Built-in Wi-Fi
With a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, the WM1 enables seamless transfer and viewing of footage, and adjusting dashcam settings from a smartphone app. You can live stream, playback recorded videos, download, or share video files with ease, making it simple to access, store, and share video evidence in case of any accident or incident.
Intelligent Parking Modes
WM1 offers three smart parking modes that provide continuous surveillance of your car even when you’re away. These modes include Auto Event Detection, Time Lapse Recording, and Low Bitrate Recording, ensuring that you are always protected and giving you peace of mind no matter where you go.
Auto Event Detection
During parking, WM1 can detect moving objects or impacts and automatically start recording for 35 seconds. With the buffered function, it records a 35-second video that starts 5 seconds before and ends 30 seconds after the detected event, ensuring no critical moments are missed.
Time Lapse Recording and Low Bitrate Recording
The dashcam offers the option to record video at lower frame rates of 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 fps without recording audio, which saves both storage and power. It also allows continuous recording with audio at a reduced file size, enabling you to save more space on the MicroSD card.
Built-in GPS Module
WM1 is equipped with a GPS logger that accurately records the vehicle’s location, speed, and time data, making it an ideal tool for insurance claim situations. The GPS data can be viewed when playing back the video on the VIOFO App or a computer, providing detailed information for insurance purposes.
Auto Emergency Footage Lock
When a sudden collision or crash occurs, the dashcam’s built-in G-sensor can automatically detect it and lock the footage to prevent it from being overwritten. This way, the accident scene can be accurately reconstructed, providing you with peace of mind.
Voice Notification
The WM1 comes equipped with intelligent voice notifications that serve as a virtual assistant to keep you informed about important dashcam events, such as video protection, changes in settings, and memory card errors. This feature allows you to stay fully focused on the road without worrying about missing crucial moments.
Optional Accessories:
VIOFO offers a range of optional accessories to enhance the functionality of WM1, including the HK4 Hardwire Kit, Circular Polarizing Lens, and Bluetooth Remote Control, among others.
