HIVE Dashcam E1: Essential Recording
The entry-level E1 captures 1296p Full HD footage with low-light optimization reducing visual noise in darker environments. The 126° field of view enables wide multi-lane coverage suited for city traffic and highways, capturing essential road details including number plates, signals, and nearby vehicles.
Loop recording automatically replaces older non-protected files when storage fills, while an adjustable G-sensor locks emergency footage during sudden braking or impact. Built-in Wi-Fi connects to the HiveCam app for viewing and settings control, supporting microSD cards up to 256GB. Parking surveillance is available with an optional hardwiring kit.
HIVE Dashcam M1: GPS Route Logging
The M1 steps up to 2K Quad HD resolution (2560×1440) using a 4MP sensor for clearer road detail recording. Built-in GPS embeds route, speed, and location data into video files for comprehensive trip review inside the HiveCam app—valuable for documenting journeys or insurance claims.
Voice command support enables hands-free recording control and video locking, while a compact 0.96-inch display shows Wi-Fi, audio, and storage status. The 140° field of view provides broader lane coverage than the E1, and a 3-axis G-sensor automatically protects emergency clips. The super capacitor ensures temperature stability, with support for microSD cards up to 512GB.
HIVE Dashcam F1: Advanced Dual-Camera ADAS
The flagship F1 features dual-channel recording with 4K front camera using a 5MP sensor and Full HD rear camera. AI-based ADAS provides lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and front vehicle movement detection—active safety features enhancing driver awareness.
A Sony STARVIS IMX335 sensor improves low-light clarity in tunnels and nighttime driving. The 2.4-inch display allows on-device viewing and playback without smartphones, while voice commands support camera switching, photo capture, and emergency locking. Wi-Fi 6 enables faster file transfers than previous models.
The F1 includes a 150° field of view, built-in GPS travel data logging, loop recording, G-sensor emergency protection, and optional 24-hour parking monitoring through hardwiring kits—comprehensive coverage for security-conscious drivers.
boAt’s Automotive Expansion

The move positions boAt against established dashcam brands in India’s growing automotive safety market, leveraging the company’s consumer electronics expertise and distribution network.
Common Features Across Range
All three models support loop recording ensuring uninterrupted capture, adjustable G-sensor emergency footage locking, HiveCam app connectivity via built-in Wi-Fi, microphone and speaker for audio recording, and parking surveillance with optional hardwiring kits. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 70°C accommodate diverse Indian climates from Himalayan cold to desert heat.
