Questions before you buy
Are the cheapest dash cams any good?
Some can document the broad sequence of an incident, but very low-cost models often compromise night detail, mounts, apps or support. Verify the exact model and return policy.
What is the minimum resolution for a cheap dash cam?
1080p is a sensible baseline, but bitrate, exposure and lens quality also matter. A larger resolution number alone does not guarantee readable detail.
Is a front-only dash cam enough?
It covers events ahead and is often the best use of a limited budget. Add rear coverage only if the second camera is properly supported and does not undermine front quality.
What extra cost is easy to overlook?
A compatible high-endurance memory card is the most common omission. Parking recording may also require a hardwire kit and installation.
