Questions before you buy
Can a dash cam be mounted outside a car?
Only if the manufacturer designs and rates that camera for external use. Most windscreen dash cams are not weatherproof and should stay inside.
Is a reversing camera the same as an outside dash cam?
No. A reversing camera commonly provides a live manoeuvring view, while an external dash-cam channel saves footage. Some systems combine functions, but this must be stated.
What waterproof rating should an external car camera have?
Use the specific environmental and ingress rating required for its mounting position, and read what the manufacturer's rating actually covers. Installation quality also affects sealing.
Can an outside car camera record while parked?
Only when the connected recorder supports parking mode and receives suitable protected power. External mounting alone does not create continuous surveillance.
