Navman’s 2025 Premium Dash Cams Are Smart and Value

Once upon a time, a dash cam was just a blurry window into the past—great if you wanted 240p footage of your coffee flying across the cabin, less so if you needed to prove you weren’t at fault in a fender bender. Navman says nooooooo. Their 2025 line-up is not only smarter and clearer, it’s borderline clairvoyant.

We look on jealously as Tesla drivers publish their all-round cam views of sides swipes, car park dings, and particularly relevant since Elon went off-piste, vandalisation. Navman began with navigation units but have transformed to a premium dashcam maker.

MiVue True 4K PRO

Let’s start with the wild child of the bunch: the True 4K PRO Surround. It’s a three-camera setup in just two sleek units—one up front with crystal-clear 4K video, and another sneaky number at the back that captures rear AND side action, plus the cabin. Yes, your entire car interior is now a reality show, including the confessional interviews.

This is great if you ever get accused of nicking someone’s TimTams, yes I’m looking at you Casper.

The side cams are a game changer. For the first time, you’ve got footage of someone sideswiping your mirror while trying to park blindfolded—or that cyclist who appeared out of nowhere like a like a twink at an all-you-can-drink buffet. And if you spring for the optional SmartBox, the system keeps an eye on your car while it’s off, watching like a very discreet, slightly paranoid best friend. Add in motion detection, GPS-tagged footage, and warnings for things like drifting out of your lane or approaching a school zone too hot—it’s like having a passenger who’s helpful, but doesn’t talk too much.

It’s $529 and includes a 128GB card, which is generous considering what some brands charge just for a cable.

If You Don’t Need All the Bells, But Still Want the Whistle

MiVue True 4K and MiVue True 4K

Navman’s also dropped two other 4K cams—the MiVue True 4K and MiVue True 4K DC—for those who just want high-quality footage without feeling like they’re driving the Batmobile. You still get an 8MP sensor, GPS tracking, 3-axis G-sensor for when things get bumpy, and STARVIS tech to help in low light. These are the ones you’d give your parents or anyone who still thinks “cloud” means bad weather.

They start at $279 and come with a 64GB card, which is very plug-and-play. None of that “buy this and then realise you need three more accessories” nonsense.

The Bargain Bin That Isn’t

MiVue 270 SAFETY

For those on a budget but still safety-conscious (or just petty enough to want dash footage of every drama at the servo), the 270 SAFETY is $179. It records in sharp 2.5K, has forward collision warnings, GPS tagging, and lane departure alerts—basically all the must-haves wrapped in something simple and easy to use. It doesn’t look flashy, but it’ll happily record the bloke in a HiLux running a red light, then snooze quietly until next time.

Motorbike Riders Get Love Too

MiVue Rider DC Helmet Cam

If you ride a bike, a scooter, or just like the idea of looking like a techy Power Ranger, the new MiVue Rider DC Helmet Cam might be for you. It’s dual-camera, records front and rear, waterproof, and has a built-in magnet that knows when it’s mounted and starts recording automatically. That means no fiddling with buttons while wearing gloves. Bless.

Battery life is around four and a half hours, and footage can be turned into a time-lapse with GPS overlays. Handy for YouTube, insurance claims, or just rembering a blast through the Nasho.

Final Word?

This new Navman range doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it just slaps better eyes on it. The footage is sharper, the coverage is broader, and some of the features are actually useful. The ADAS is best left off in town or will drive you mad, but it is the cameras that matter.

You want clear video that can be read without an NCIS lab handy.

And honestly? If one more driver pulls into your lane without indicating, you’ll be glad to have it all on tape.
