Front and rear coverage is the right approach for most UK drivers. Rear-end incidents make up a significant share of insurance claims, and without rear camera footage, liability disputes often come down to the word of two drivers against each other. The Halo Spark Dual records both directions in 1080p Full HD with USB-C connectivity, which is faster to charge and more reliable over the long term than micro USB.
Dual parking mode is the feature that separates this camera from single-channel equivalents. Both cameras stay active when the car is hardwired and parked. If someone clips the front while reversing out of a space next to you, the front camera records it. If a pedestrian walks into the rear of the car, the rear camera records it. Both G-sensors are live simultaneously.
Winter mode addresses a practical UK problem. In cold weather, battery voltage drops and can fall below the threshold that triggers the hardwiring kit's voltage cut-off. Winter mode adjusts the cut-off sensitivity so the camera stays active in conditions where it would otherwise shut down to protect the battery. This is particularly relevant for drivers who park overnight in cold conditions.
The 64GB SD card handles up to 5 to 8 hours of combined front and rear 1080p recording before the oldest footage overwrites. The hardwiring kit connects to the fuse box with a standard fuse tap, and Road Angel's installation guide covers the process for most vehicle types.
