GL.iNet Introduces Umino D1 Mini & Pro Travel Dashcams, Opens VIP Reservations Ahead of Kickstarter Launch

Hong Kong, November 3, 2026 — GL.iNet announces two travel dashcams designed for rental car journeys: Umino D1 Mini (UM-D1M) and Umino D1 Pro (UM-D1P). Both models are scheduled to launch on Kickstarter in early January 2027. VIP passes are now available, offering advance launch notifications and exclusive benefits.

The D1 series lets travelers record driving incidents and save footage from their trips as they move between rental cars and destinations.

Built for Rental Cars and Road Trips

The Umino D1 series features a suction-cup mount, power through the vehicle’s accessory socket, and a travel case. Travelers can quickly install the dashcam before setting off, then remove it without adhesive residue when it is time to return the car.

The dashcams are designed to pack away and reuse across different vehicles. Voice commands let users take photos, lock important clips, and start or stop recording with less manual operation.

2K and 4K Recording Options

The Umino D1 Mini offers a simple, lightweight recording experience with a 2K front camera powered by a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor, making it a compact companion for rental car trips.

The Umino D1 Pro features a 4K front camera powered by a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, alongside a 1080p interior camera to capture both the road ahead and shared travel moments inside the car.

Both models feature a CPL filter to help reduce windshield reflections and glare, preserving clearer footage that can help users review incidents, vehicle damage, or rental-related disputes.

Review and Share Trip Footage

The Umino Cam App lets travelers revisit their journeys using GPS route tracking and timeline playback to find footage from different parts of a trip. AI-selected Highlight Clips help users choose memorable moments, while video templates help them create travel videos to review and share.

Driver Assistance Alerts on D1 Pro

The Umino D1 Pro supports driver assistance alerts for potential forward collisions, pedestrians, and lane departures. These supplementary reminders help drivers stay aware of road conditions when navigating unfamiliar routes.*

*The alerts do not replace attentive driving or driver judgment. Drivers remain responsible for assessing road conditions and following local traffic rules.

Local Recording and Footage Management

Users can select a time range and delete the corresponding footage to remove recordings containing personal conversations or other sensitive travel details. Both models support local SD card recording without a cloud subscription, giving users direct control over their stored footage.

Availability

The Umino D1 Mini and D1 Pro are scheduled to launch on Kickstarter in early January 2027.
