Overview
The Cievie D100 is a mid-range dual dash cam with 4K front and 1080p rear recording, smartphone app control and a 64GB microSD card included. It ranks #2 in our list of the top 10 best-selling dash cams on Amazon UK, with an 8.6/10 score and our Best flexible camera positioning award. The #1 GKU D600 scores slightly higher as our overall pick, while the D100’s standout feature is its adjustable front and rear cameras.
It is a feature-rich package on paper, but its 24-hour parking mode is not ready to use out of the box: a compatible hardwire kit is sold separately. Owner feedback is generally encouraging, though one buyer reports occasional restarts, so there is some reason to be cautious about reliability.
Features and specification
The listing specifies 4K front and 1080p rear video at 30fps, a 170-degree field of view and a 1.5-inch IPS screen. It says the front camera adjusts through 290 degrees and the rear rotates 360 degrees, which should help when positioning the cameras in different vehicles. The listing also claims an F2.0 aperture and WDR for low-light recording; these are specifications, not a guarantee that every detail will be readable at night.
There is 5.8GHz Wi-Fi for connecting to the app to preview and download clips, plus loop recording and a G-sensor that protects footage after a detected impact. The included 64GB card means you can get started without buying storage separately, and the listing says capacity can be expanded to 256GB. For parking monitoring, factor in the additional compatible hardwire kit; Cievie cautions that other kits may not work fully with this camera.
What owners say
Owners commonly praise the picture quality, including in low light, and describe installation as straightforward. Several also find the app easy to use for viewing or downloading recordings. One buyer needed to enable the phone’s Wi-Fi and hotspot before the app detected the camera, so initial connection may take a little troubleshooting.
There are positive reports about the supplied tools and cable length, but the feedback is not uniformly trouble-free. One owner says their unit periodically restarts, while another describes changing to a lower recording resolution to conserve storage. These are individual experiences rather than proof of a widespread fault, but they temper the otherwise positive impressions.
Who should buy it
Consider the D100 if you want front-and-rear coverage, an on-device screen, app access and flexibility to aim both cameras, with a memory card already in the box. Its camera adjustment and included accessories make it an appealingly complete kit for drivers who value convenient setup.
Skip it if you expect parking monitoring without extra wiring, or if you want a long-established reliability record before choosing. The separate hardwire kit adds cost and installation, and the reported restart issue means cautious buyers may prefer to compare alternatives such as the higher-ranked GKU D600 before deciding.
