Autofy V50 4K Dash Cam Review: Sony STARVIS 2 Sensor, Built-in GPS and the Rear Camera Caveat

The Autofy V50 is a 4K dash cam built for people who want proof, not guesswork. It pairs a 4K Ultra HD (8MP) front camera with a 2K (4MP) rear unit, a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX415 sensor for cleaner low-light footage and a built-in GPS logger that stamps speed and location onto every clip. At Rs 8,498 (down from Rs 14,999), it is a sensible first accessory for a new premium car, whether that is the just-revealed Kia Sorento 2026 or the SUV already on your driveway.

What is the Autofy V50 dash cam

The V50 is a dual-channel dash cam: one camera faces the road ahead, a second covers the view behind. The front records in 4K Ultra HD (8MP), the rear in 2K Quad HD (4MP), and Autofy pairs the front with a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX415 sensor, which is the part that helps at night and in tunnels. It records on a continuous loop, so the oldest clips are overwritten automatically once the card fills, and a 3-inch screen lets you frame the shot and play footage back on the spot. There is also built-in WiFi and a companion app, so you can pull clips straight to your phone without removing the card, which is handy when you need to share footage quickly after a bump.

Who should buy it

The V50 makes the most sense for anyone who wants hard evidence from their own car rather than relying on memory or someone else's word after an incident. The built-in GPS is the quiet hero here, because a clip that shows your actual speed and location is far more persuasive to an insurer or a court than video alone. In dense Indian traffic, where a sudden lane change or a wrong-side rider can leave you looking at fault on paper, that combination of clear front video and a GPS speed trace is genuinely reassuring.

• New-car owners who want evidence-grade footage from day one
• Daily highway commuters exposed to cut-ins and tailgaters
• Anyone who wants GPS-stamped speed and location on every clip
• Owners who street-park and want the 24-hour parking monitor watching

Price and value

At Rs 8,498, down from a list price of Rs 14,999, the V50 lands in the sweet spot for a dual-channel 4K setup with a Sony sensor, GPS and a parking monitor bundled in. Plenty of cheaper cameras claim 4K by upscaling a smaller sensor; the combination of a native 8MP front, the STARVIS 2 IMX415 and route logging is what separates the V50 from the bargain bin. If it fits your budget, buy the Autofy V50 with a decent memory card and you are set. A new car deserves a clean, fresh cabin too, so many buyers add a cordless car vacuum and a long-lasting car perfume to the same order. Factor in a good 128GB high-endurance card and you are still comfortably under what many single-channel branded rivals cost on their own, which is what makes the V50 easy to recommend.
