Review: Geko E100 Full HD 1080P Dash Cam

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dashboard cameras have gained popularity over the past year as additional aftermarket safety and security automotive products.

The advantage of having a dash cam is that you have visual data to refer to in the event of an accident and collision or you might have some proof in fighting a traffic ticket. Price has been one of the considerations why motorists have avoided installing dash cams and complexity of use is another.

The Geko E100 Full HD 1080P Dash Cam from Papago is a tiny, entry-level model which is easy to use and install. I had the opportunity to test the Geko E100 while driving in Quebec countryside and was quite pleased by the experience.

Ford to invest $4.5 billion, release 13 new Electrified Vehicles by 2020

On the way next year is a new Focus Electric, which features all-new DC fast-charge capability delivering an 80 percent charge in an estimated 30 minutes and projected 100-mile range - an estimated two hours faster than today's Focus Electric. (Graphic: Business Wire)With an industry-wide shift in focus to electrified and hybrid vehicles, Ford has announced its plans to invest in developing EV solutions and technologies in the US and Canada.

Ford is investing an additional $4.5 billion in electrified vehicle solutions by 2020 as well as changing how the company develops vehicle experiences for customers.

“For 70 years, market research has been done by asking people for their opinion. But Ford has always been fundamentally skeptical about that. Henry Ford used to say, ‘If I asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for a faster horse.’”

Ford is adding 13 new electrified vehicles to its portfolio by 2020, when more than 40 percent of the company’s global nameplates will come in electrified versions. This represents Ford’s largest-ever electrified vehicle investment in a five-year period.
