How to choose a front dash cam
Pick a resolution first: 1080p for general evidence, 2K for a good balance, or 4K for the most detail. Then decide whether you want a screen on the camera or a discreet screenless design controlled by a phone app. If you also want the rear covered, see our 2 channel dash cams.
1 Channel Dash Cams FAQs
Q: Is a front-only dash cam enough?
A: A front camera covers what happens ahead of you, which is where many incidents occur. A rear camera adds cover for rear-end collisions.
Q: Can I add a rear camera later?
A: Some models support it. For example, the Pioneer ND-RC1 rear camera works with the VREC-Z810SH, VREC-Z710SH and VREC-H310SH.
Q: Can CEN fit a front dash cam?
A: Yes. We supply and fit dash cams at our Beeston, Nottingham workshop.
