TfL Approved Dash Cam List for Taxis and PHVs

Use TfL's current approved CCTV document, not a retailer's badge. Approval depends on both the system and the licensed vehicle type.

The TfL approved dash cam list people usually mean is TfL's official list of approved CCTV systems for taxis and private hire vehicles. It names systems, suppliers and the vehicle classes for which each installation is accepted. A camera appearing in a shop or carrying a generic ‘taxi camera’ description is not enough.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where is the official TfL approved dash cam list?

TfL publishes an approved CCTV systems document on its own website. Use that document and verify the system against the relevant taxi or PHV column.

Can any dash cam be fitted to a TfL private hire vehicle?

A purely outward-facing incident camera is treated differently from in-vehicle CCTV. If the system records passengers or the interior, follow TfL's CCTV approval and installation requirements.

Does TfL approve the installer as well as the camera?

The official list identifies suppliers or installers alongside named systems. Use the listed route and confirm suitability for your exact vehicle before installation.

Can a TfL taxi camera record audio?

TfL and ICO guidance treats audio as especially intrusive. Do not assume continuous audio is permitted; check the current conditions and ensure passengers receive the required notice.
