Questions before you buy
Can a car camera record when the vehicle is switched off?
Yes, if both the camera and its power setup support parking recording. The system may use event detection, motion sensing or time-lapse rather than continuous normal recording.
Which camera views are useful for car security?
Front and rear coverage captures more approach angles than a front camera alone. Cabin recording can cover the interior, but you should consider passengers, audio and data-protection responsibilities.
Can a dash cam send a theft alert to my phone?
Some connected models advertise remote notifications, but these can depend on network access, account setup and an active service. Verify what happens when the car is parked away from Wi-Fi.
Should audio recording be enabled in a security camera inside a car?
The ICO describes audio as especially intrusive and says organisations should generally switch it off by default unless exceptional use is justified. Private and commercial contexts differ, so consider who may be recorded.
