Final Thoughts and Pricing

Pricing

Conclusion

The Mio MiVue 766 WIFI was the first dashcam I had in my own car, and what an experience it was. The setup couldn’t be simpler: Mount it, connect it, insert memory card: done. Sure, there are a lot more settings and options, but they’re optional.

We got some really great video from the MiVue 766 WIFI which doesn’t come as a surprise. It’s equipped with some high-end hardware and lens, allowing it to capture high-def video in Full HD resolution. The 30 FPS recording also makes sure that you don’t miss a frame. Speaking of missed frames, there were none at all. The MiVue 766 WIFI does an amazing job all the way through.

Advanced Functionality

Besides the basic dashcam functionality, MiVue 766 WIFI has a bunch of driving aid features. From fatigue alert to driving too close to the person in front of you. It comes with it all.

The GPS and Wi-Fi features give it another edge over basic entry-level devices. GPS allows you to see the actual speed your driving and get map overlays for your videos. It also generally keeps a record of your driving activities. The wireless connection, on the other hand, allows you to connect it to your mobile’s Wi-Fi hotspot. With it, you can easily transfer videos without having to remove the memory card, but it doesn’t stop there. You can even live-stream your video to social media such as Facebook.

Controlling the MiVue 766 WIFI is a breeze thanks to the large built-in touchscreen. It is responsive and useful. It can even show vital information such as your actual speed while you’re driving.

Final Thoughts

Generally, it looks great! The dashcam has a simple design which doesn’t capture your attention during driving, but it’s not so plain that it gets boring either. It looks as great as it works.

Personally, I’ve been on a lookout for a dashcam for quite some time. I’ve had a lot of close-call experiences lately which might as well have gone the other way. Having a dashcam might not prevent accidents, but at least you can prove whose fault it was. This is definitely the type of dashcam I want in my car!
