Best Dashcam Setup for Uber Drivers in the UK

Uber says drivers may choose to use one, but local licensing authorities may prohibit cameras or set conditions. Check the rules that apply to your private-hire licence.

Only with a justified, lawful and transparent setup. The ICO advises clear privacy information and careful protection of passenger and driver data.

The ICO describes audio as especially intrusive and says it should generally be off by default, with exceptional use needing strong justification.

Uber's UK community guidelines prohibit sharing or streaming a person's image, audio or video in public locations such as social media. Footage should be handled securely and only for a proper purpose.

Choose capacity and endurance that match the number of cameras, recording settings and shift length, within the exact model's supported limits. Use a retention policy rather than keeping footage without purpose.
