DBPOWER EX5000 2.0inch WIFI 14MP 1080P FHD Waterproof Sports Action Camera with 2 Improved Batteries and FREE Accessories(White).
You have to add anything from for instance super saver delivery tool to make it free delivery, otherwise there will be additional £ 4.75 delivery charge. IMHO spending slightly over £ 20.00 it's still good value for money for this camera.

Do these have the ability to function as a dashcam? Seems a pretty good price for the money if they can?

Ref: use as a dashcam, to be honest, I see this as probably serving as more useful than a standard dash cam.
It doesn't need to be plugged in the whole time thanks to the battery - no wires when driving.
8 hours record time at 720p means you would probably get a week worth of commuting recorded before needing to wipe/restart.
Also, this means there is an option to record overnight should you need it. There has been one or two occasions I would have found this useful, but a standard (cheap) dashcam often needs plugging in to operate for long periods - another plus.
Then there is the ability to use this as a run of the mill "action cam" - so it's multi purpose in that sense.
A note which may be useful to others too: I personally receive a 10% discount on my car insurance (with Axa) if you have a dash cam installed, so overall this will save me £60+ a year.
Cheers OP - I have at least sold it to myself, if not to anybody else - for £16.99 easily worth the money.

I paid £28 for one a couple of weeks ago on a lightning deal and thought I got a good deal. This is a bargain, so I've ordered another.

You used it much yet - very interested to know how good it is?

I bought one a few weeks back,Can't go wrong for this price. You would pay this just for the accessories.

There are so many of these cameras all in the same design of case, but with wildly different internal components in some cases. It really does seem a bit hit and miss.
Some are really good and offer true 1080P video, whereas others are blatant rip offs that generate 1080P video files that have obviously been upscaled from a much lower resolution sensor (sometimes as low as 640x480).
Some of the ones I've got are suitable for use as a dashcam (automatically start/stop recording when they get/lose external power), but the cheaper ones with rubbish sensors don't. All of them have pretty wide angle views, though.
Nearly all of them come with two batteries, but it's much less hassle to stick with just one, as the internal clock will reset itself if you are unable to insert the spare battery within a few seconds!
This one is pretty cheap though, so it could be worth a gamble :smiley:

I have 2 of these db power, for the money they are superb, got one for a mate too for his birthday. My two are in the cars as Dash cams as standard but there if I want to use them as an action camera. I have done this kayaking, etc and the footage is alright, crisp clear and good res. I have used go pro's too and can see they are much better, but also a few hundred £'s more. The WiFi link and app is a little klunky but can be used with some patience. Batteries only last 30mins or so which is annoying
So if it's just an intro to action cams or a dash cam these are great, if you want special footage of high speed action, low light
, 4k res and longer battery life then spend more, I'm off kayaking in Norway next year so if I've been good Santa is bringing me a Go Pro Black in a few days.

I bought 4 of these but had to return 3 as they wouldn't format a 32gb class 10 micro sd card.

This is the new model that takes a 64gb card with wifi and has a 14mp camera. The old model was 12mp with no wifi and only 32gb card.
