boAt Hive Dashcam E1, M1 and F1 launched in India starting from Rs. 2,499 with GPS, ADAS, and loop recording

boAt has broadened its in-car accessories lineup in India with the launch of three new dashboard cameras: HIVE Dashcam E1, HIVE Dashcam M1, and HIVE Dashcam F1. Designed to address varied recording requirements, the new range caters to everyday commuting, detailed route tracking, and advanced dual-camera monitoring. All three models support essential features such as loop recording, emergency clip locking, GPS logging (select models), and smartphone connectivity via the HiveCam app.

HIVE Dashcam E1 -

The HIVE Dashcam E1 offers 1296p Full HD video recording, enabling clear capture of road elements like license plates, traffic signals, and surrounding vehicles. Optimized low-light processing helps reduce noise in darker conditions, while a 126° field of view ensures wide coverage across multiple lanes, making it suitable for both city and highway driving.

It supports loop recording, automatically overwriting older, unprotected footage when storage fills up. An adjustable G-sensor detects sudden impacts or hard braking and locks emergency recordings. The E1 supports microSD cards up to 256GB and features built-in Wi-Fi for smartphone connectivity through the HiveCam app, allowing users to view footage and manage settings. Additional features include a built-in microphone and speaker, along with parking surveillance support when used with an optional hardwiring kit.

HIVE Dashcam M1 -

Positioned a step above, the HIVE Dashcam M1 records in 2K Quad HD resolution (2560 × 1440) using a 4MP sensor for sharper and more detailed footage. Integrated GPS logs route, speed, and location data directly into the video files, which can be reviewed within the HiveCam app. A compact 0.96-inch display provides quick status updates for Wi-Fi, audio, and storage.

The M1 supports voice commands for hands-free operation, including recording control and emergency video locking. A 3-axis G-sensor automatically secures footage during collisions, while loop recording ensures continuous capture. It supports microSD cards up to 512GB.

Additional features include enhanced low-light recording, a wider 140° field of view, a super capacitor for improved heat resistance, built-in Wi-Fi, microphone and speaker support, and parking surveillance with impact detection when paired with an optional hardwiring kit.

HIVE Dashcam F1 -

The HIVE Dashcam F1 sits at the top of the lineup as a dual-channel dashcam with AI-powered ADAS features, including lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and front vehicle movement detection. The front camera records in 4K resolution using a 5MP sensor, while the rear camera captures Full HD footage. A Sony STARVIS IMX335 sensor enhances clarity in low-light environments such as tunnels and nighttime driving.

A built-in 2.4-inch display enables direct playback and viewing without relying on a smartphone. Voice commands allow users to switch cameras, capture photos, and lock emergency files. The dashcam also features built-in GPS for embedding travel data and Wi-Fi 6 for faster wireless file transfers.

Key features include a 150° field of view, loop recording, G-sensor-based emergency protection, support for microSD cards up to 512GB, and optional 24-hour parking monitoring via a hardwiring kit.
