WHAT: Navman MiVue ALTA DC WHY: No one wants to have a bingle, but there are steps that you can take to mitigate the blame if it isn’t your fault.

The stylish and unobtrusive cameras are optimised for both night and day, with the front recording at 60 frames per second (fps) and the rear at 30fps. Built explicitly for the extreme Australian weather conditions, the ALTA links via Wi-Fi to a smartphone app. If an incident occurs, the footage (also recorded on an SD card) is GPS-tagged and will display impact directions and speed. Finally, the ALTA has built-in motion and shock detection, so it covers the car even while it’s parked.

All this to say: not even Danny Ocean could bust his way into the ThinkPhone to snoop on your private biz. WHO: Businesses looking for unmatched security cannot go past this elite smartphone.
