Baseus PrimeTrip VD1 Pro: a solar-powered 4K dual dash cam with 14-day parking monitoring
Baseus is bringing something genuinely different to the dash cam market with the PrimeTrip VD1 Pro. Designed for drivers who want round-the-clock protection without the hassle of wiring into the fuse box, this dual-channel dash camera combines a built-in solar panel with an internal battery to deliver up to 14 days of parking surveillance. The company claims it’s the first system to offer hardwire-free parking mode at this scale.
The tech behind it is Solar Sync System 2.0, which pairs an integrated solar panel with a 380 mAh lithium battery. While your car is parked, a G-sensor stands watch; if it detects a bump, impact, or motion event, the camera wakes instantly and records 30-second clips from both the front and rear units. That means you get crucial evidence even when your vehicle is off and unattended.
On the road, the PrimeTrip VD1 Pro captures crisp 4K video up front using a Sony IMX335 STARVIS sensor with a wide 170-degree field of view, HDR processing, and enhanced night vision to keep license plates and road signs legible day or night. The rear camera records in 1080p with a 120-degree FOV, providing solid coverage behind you.
Smart features round out the package. Real-time GPS logging stamps your footage with speed and location data. Hands-free voice control lets you operate key functions without taking your eyes off the road. A built-in display offers quick access to settings and playback, while the companion app makes it easy to review and download clips, tweak preferences, and update firmware. Thanks to Wi‑Fi 6, transfers and app responsiveness are notably faster than older wireless setups. Baseus also includes a 32 GB microSD card to get you started right away.
