Nextbase Piqo Dash Cam Range: 1K vs 2K

The screenless Piqo range has 1K and 2K versions. The 2K model adds the higher stated resolution, wider viewing angle and larger supported card capacity; both use phone connectivity and GPS.

The Piqo dash cam family is Nextbase’s compact, app-led option. Its manual distinguishes a 1K version at 2560 × 1080p with a 140-degree field of view from a 2K version at 2560 × 1440p with a 145-degree view.
