The Papago! GoSafe 110 is a small, reliable dash cam, that is easy to use. I tested one in my tractor trailer for three and a half weeks, while traveling 9600 miles in the USA.
Video quality is good, day and night.
The GS110 has a capacitor, not a battery, which is preferred for a dash cam in daily use in a vehicle.
Is this a high end dash cam? NO.
I wasn't expecting to like this cam when I was offered one for review, but I was pleasantly surprised.
It works, and works well, the video is decent, and it's reliable.
For most users, this cam will be sufficient if you are looking for a dash cam you can actually use, and count on for protection while driving.
No dash cam is 'set and forget'.
At the minimum, you'll need to format the memory card at regular intervals, and also verify the camera is working normally, both by visual checks of the display, and occasional review of save video clips.
The GS110 has a small screen, which makes 'aiming' the camera easy, and verifying normal operation, also.
It is possible to view saved videos on this screen, but I usually don't do that with any dash cam, since it's much easier to do so via the laptop that is a few feet away.
The GS 110 has a 'G Force' sensor to automatically save video during an incident.
I don't use this function on most of my cams, but save them manually, if needed.
The GS 110 also works OK in 'motion' detection mode.
I've been using this mode for normal operation.
The camera will start recording with any movement nearby of a vehicle or person,
(Within the view of the lens) and when you start driving.
The video segments while in motion detection mode are around 2 minutes each.
'Normal' video segments are a default 5 minutes.
(No option to change this, other than going to motion detection, which works well)
It's possible to use motion detection for some protection in a parked vehicle, but make sure you have sufficient battery capacity in your vehicle.
(This won't work out well for you in a car you leave parked for days, it may drain your car battery. In a large truck with multiple batteries,you're OK)
Thinking about a dash cam?
The GS 110 is a nice, basic cam, that performs well, is modestly priced, and is easy to use.
