GKU E200 review: The £99 dashcam that genuinely surprised me
The budget dashcam includes GPS, parking mode and an SD card, while the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor helps deliver clear low-light footage.
The GKU E200 dashcam offers twin-channel dual 4K recording with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor into a surprisingly affordable package. GKU, a Chinese tech firm, designed the device to deliver strong performance for minimal cost.
Integrated GPS and parking mode enhance the E200's capabilities, while the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor—a gold standard in dashcams—ensures the front view is crisp and clear. Both cameras handle low light effectively and provide enough resolution to read number plates.
Premium dashcams costing £300 offer superior apps and more smart features compared to the E200. Yet reviewers found the unit delivers strong performance at £100, with installation straightforward and footage quality exceeding expectations.
Installation is straightforward with an included trim tool for wire concealment, though the companion app is primitive compared to Nextbase or Viofo. Pairing loads footage swiftly, and the rear camera mounts easily once wires are hidden.
Available on Amazon for £99.99, the E200 positions GKU as a serious contender in the budget dashcam market. The device's combination of dual 4K, GPS, parking mode, and Sony sensor technology at this price represents significant value for cost-conscious buyers.
