Business had dried up. Cars, phones, tractors: how high-end products are increasingly stolen to serve distant markets The truth will catch up with you, but will readers want to hear it?

Previously priced at a hefty £99.99, the device is currently available with a generous 30 per cent discount, bringing the cost down to just £69.99. This sophisticated D600 4K dash cam records the road comprehensively with front-facing 4K resolution and rear-facing 1080P resolution. Equipped with a 170° wide-angle lens and night vision capabilities, sharp footage can be recorded even in dim lighting conditions to guarantee complete coverage with nothing overlooked.

It comes with its own app, making it easy to download footage and adjust settings. I'm really satisfied with the purchase-great value for the price." On the other hand, a less content shopper expressed: "Unfortunately this product is not fit for purpose. It cuts out constantly meaning I do not have the security of constant video coverage, which is the reason I bought this dashcam. "I reached out to the supplier for help, who initially replied to my concerns, but unfortunately I did not receive the hard wire kit offered - which apparently may resolve the issue, therefore I would recommend that you buy from a more reliable source as I feel this product has simply been a waste of money." However, a more satisfied customer commented: "One of my favourite features is the parking mode, which can be activated when paired with a hardwiring kit. It gives me peace of mind knowing my vehicle is being monitored even when I'm not around. "The included app is user-friendly and makes it easy to view live or recorded footage on the go. There are also plenty of settings to customize the dashcam to any preferences. All of this can be accessed by taking the included SD card out too."
