If you’ve been thinking about getting a dash cam for security or a body cam for activities, here’s something interesting: Costco has a Type S 4K 2-in-1 that does both jobs.
This isn’t your typical single-purpose camera. The Type S system gives you a 4K dash cam for your vehicle that can detach and transform into a body cam when you’re out of the car. Think of it as double duty for one device – monitor your drives, then clip it on for hiking, biking, or any activity where you want hands-free recording.
The 4K resolution is definitely a step up from the older 1080p models many of us have been using. Sharper footage means better license plate visibility and clearer incident documentation. That said, you’ll need a decent-sized memory card since 4K eats up storage faster than lower resolutions. The dual functionality is clever, though it does mean you’re swapping the camera back and forth if you use both features regularly.
- Item #: 1943824
- Current Price: $99.99
- 4K ultra HD video resolution for clear, detailed footage
- Detachable design converts from dash cam to wearable body cam
- Loop recording automatically overwrites oldest footage when storage is full
- G-sensor detects impacts and locks footage to prevent overwriting during incidents
- Night vision capability for low-light recording conditions
Bottom Line: This is a solid option if you want flexibility without buying two separate cameras. The 4K quality is excellent for a sub-$100 device, and the 2-in-1 design adds versatility you won’t find in traditional dash cams. Just be prepared to invest in a good quality, high-capacity memory card to make the most of that 4K recording.
