Car Cameras for the Back: Rear Dash Cam Buying Guide

For evidence behind the car, choose a rear dash camera that records to the same system as the front unit. A reversing camera serves a different purpose and may not save footage.

A car camera for the back can mean either a rear dash cam that records journeys or a reversing camera that helps with parking. Decide which job you need first: evidence behind the vehicle, a live parking view, or both.

Car Cameras for the Back: Rear Dash Cam Buying Guide

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What is the difference between a rear dash cam and a reversing camera?

A rear dash cam records while driving, whereas a reversing camera mainly supplies a live view for manoeuvring and may not save video.

Where does a back car camera go?

Interior rear cameras commonly mount high on the back window. Exterior cameras need weather protection and model-specific fitting.

Can I add a rear camera to any dash cam?

No. Rear modules normally work only with specified front cameras, so confirm compatibility before buying.

Is rear dash-cam wiring difficult?

It requires a longer cable and careful routing around trim, airbags and moving tailgates. Professional fitting can be worthwhile for complex vehicles.
