Papago! GoSafe S30 Dashcam

For a great number of years we have been entertained on TV by dashcam footage on shows like the world’s wildest police chases, cop shows and so many others. Dashcams have also been an integral part of our police forces as a method to record and provide evidence, and recently, dashcams have been coming into the civilian market in many forms, sizes and features. With the reduction in size of the optical sensors and technology, in addition to the reduced cost of these devices, it has opened up the ability for drivers to record track days, off-roading or even everyday driving. One of the leaders in this revolution is PAPAGO!, which was founded in 2001 in Taiwan. Their main focus until recently was Asia and Europe, but recently they have expanded into the US market. As a pioneer in the car dashcam market, they have had a chance to perfect affordable dashcams in different sizes and sensor types. This brings us to the PAPAGO! GoSafe S30 that we will review here, so keep reading to find out more.

The S30 features 3 recording modes to help ensure that you never have to worry. By default it is set to the first mode which is an automatic loop that starts once the vehicle is turned on. The next option is motion detection. In this mode when its lens senses movement, it starts recording and after one minute of inactivity it will go back into sleep mode. The final mode is monitor mode. In this mode when it detects motion, it takes a picture every second until no motion has been detected for a minute.
