Heard of Kingslim? It makes dash cams and you can find out if its low cost offering, the Kingslim D4, hits the mark
need to record in 4K resolution? It’s a question manufacturers and consumers have grappled with for a couple of years now, as sensor size, quality and price make Ultra HD possible without breaking the bank.
Before we get to that, let’s look at the hardware. Despite the 4K image sensor, the Kingslim D4 sits at the cheaper end of the dash cam market, at around £110 / $140 / AU$200. The kit includes an optional rear-facing camera and a long cable to connect it to the main unit. During our review, we noticed some damage to the lower quarter of the display. We’re not sure where this came from, but the result is a series of colored lines obscuring the lower portion of the screen. The display seems quite fragile, so we’d encourage buyers to leave the D4 in place once it is installed. This isn’t a dash cam that can be thrown into the back of the car or glove box and regularly switched between cars.
The dashcam works as soon as it is plugged into your car’s 12V socket, but there’s also a smartphone app for adjusting settings and transferring video recordings over a Wi-Fi connection. The app isn’t particularly good, and while this is a common issue shared by many dash cams, Kingslim’s is worse than most. There are annoying bugs and much of the language used can be described as broken English at best.
The D4 records 4K footage at 30 frames per second, and although you can lower the resolution to 1080p, a higher frame rate for even smoother video is not available.
