A quality dashcam is an insurance policy. Whether you are involved in an accident and need evidence as to who was at fault, or you want to catch a vandal at your parked car, or a law enforcement officer claims you committed a moving violation which you know you didn’t; having a video record can make all the difference in the world. Even if you are not overly concerned about those things, a quality front/rear dashcam can document your weekend backroad cruise, or your victory at the track, ready to share on social media.
Vugera is a Australian based company which manufactures quality dashcams. In fact, they are the official supplier to some very well known car manufacturers.
Vugera has signed on as a Stung by Kia Partner company! As a result, Stung by Kia members will be able to purchase Vugera dashcams and accessories at 15% off their normal price, using Stung by Kia’s discount code! To show their support of the KDM car community, purchases with Stung by Kia’s discount code will also receive an extra six months of warranty coverage. That’s 30 months total at no additional cost, which even covers Vugera’s high endurance micro-SD card! To sweeten the deal even more, standard shipping (to many postal codes) is included free of charge!

The Vugera Models
UX9 – 64GB
The UX9 comes equipped with both front windshield and rear-window cameras. The compact front camera features Sony’s STARVIS IMX515 CMOS sensor and records in UHD 3840x2160p 4K resolution for the highest quality images. The rear camera is even smaller with a 1080p Silicon Optronics F23 CMOS sensor. The files for both cameras are recorded to a single removable micro-SD card located in the front camera chassis. You can access and transfer files by removing the micro-SD card, or wirelessly to your phone using Vugera’s iOS or Andriod app. The front camera also has its own 2.7″ preview/review and configuration touch screen. The UX9 is equipped with Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range, allowing the viewer to see into the video’s dark areas while not clipping very bright objects. In short, it’s the best possible video quality in the Vugera line-up.
