This issue has been addressed by providing individual LEDs to signify power and recording, and a third LED that can possibly be configured to either indicate that a GPS signal has been found or that audio recording is enabled or disabled. One blue, and one red, which often appeared purple when flashing together, prompting many questions from our customers. A common confusion caused by the Mini 0801 and Mini 0803, was that two LEDs were visible via one hole in the camera's body. We would always recommend that a car camera be mounted as high up the windscreen as possible, but many of our customers have requested the option to mount a camera on their dashboard, so it's nice to see the option added.Īesthetically there are a few other tweaks, but the most useful of which is the new LED set-up and placement. Left-handed, right-handed, windscreen-mounted or dashboard-mounted, the choice will be yours. This might not seem like a bit deal, but combine it with the ability to flip the image in the camera and this paves the way for a multitude of mounting options. Next up, we notice that the camera mounting point can rotate 180 degrees. The Mini 0803 initially suffered from this until additional heat sinks were added, so it's great to see that lessons have been learned and the Mini 0806 seeks to address that particular problem head on. Due to the large amount of data being processed by the components inside them, dashcams can generate a lot of heat, and if this can't dissipate well enough, this heat can cause problems. One of the first things that makes the Mini 0806 stand out from it's predecessors, aside from the slight difference in shape, is the number of ventilation holes all around it. As a long-time user of the Mini series, I'm personally hoping that the Mini 0806 will adorn my windscreen for some time, and judging by the test footage and technical specifications that we've seen so far, that looks likely.

While it's currently in the final stages of testing and development, mass production should soon begin and we'll be able to get our hands on the Mini 0806, with no small amount of excitement. However, the good news is that the Mini 0806 should be available early next year, and it appears to offer some outstanding new features which could make it even more popular than the Mini 0801 and Mini 0803, which have both been among our best selling car cameras for some time.

We were all hoping it would arrive before Christmas, so a lucky few of us might find a shiny new Mini 0806 dashcam under their tree on the 25th, but it's not to be. UPDATE: To order, or to find out more about the Mini 0806, visit our product page.
