Papago! GoSafe 110 'Trucker tested' Dash Cam from GearBest.com Recommended dash cam




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.

Papago! GoSafe 110 from gearbest.com "Trucker Tested' Dash Cam

The Papago! GoSafe 110 has been running reliably, 24/7, for the last 22 days in my tractor trailer, as I traveled 9200 miles.
Day and night video is good.   The controls are easy to use.   This is a good, basic dash cam that is suitable for most users, in any vehicle.

Video from a Mobius wide angle dash cam while on vacation in Thailand



SUV uses a shortcut to get around backup on I-70


The first segment of video is from an A118-C dashcam, the second from a Mobius, standard lens dash cams. Both are dashcams I recommend for truckers, inexpensive, and reliable.

'Professional' truck driver spotting, Rock Hill, SC

It's rare you see such a skilled, and professional trucker like this one.   In this video compiled from two dashcams, you can see how he skillfully plows his way around another truck, waiting to exit a somewhat narrow electronically controlled gate at an Exel warehouse in Rock Hill, SC.
There are two trucks waiting to exit, you have to use the callbox at the gate to get it open, but the blue truck is operated by such an important person who can't wait a few seconds, and has such a high level of truck driving skills, he decides he will make his own roadway.
