In-Car Cameras for Road, Rear and Cabin Recording

Choose an in-car camera by the evidence you want to capture. Road-facing, rear-facing and cabin views solve different problems and add different privacy duties.

An in-car camera may face the road, rear window or passenger compartment. For ordinary driving evidence, begin with a discreet front camera that starts automatically and protects incident clips. Add a rear channel if impacts or events behind the car are a concern.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What is the difference between an in-car camera and a dash cam?

Dash cam usually means an automatically recording road camera. In-car camera is broader and can include cabin, rear or security-focused views.

Can an in-car camera record passengers?

A cabin-facing model can. Tell passengers where appropriate and consider data-protection responsibilities, especially when recording for work.

Does an in-car camera record when the engine is off?

Only if the model supports parking recording and receives suitable power. A normal accessory socket may switch off with the ignition.

Where should an in-car camera be fitted?

Fit it securely where its intended view is clear and it does not obstruct the driver. Keep cables away from controls and airbag paths.
