Front and Rear Dash Cams

Front and rear dash cams that record the road ahead and behind, giving you evidence of rear-end collisions and tailgating as well as what happens in front.

Every camera here covers the rear, from 2 channel front and rear kits to 3 channel and 4 channel systems that add cabin or telephoto cameras. For recording while parked, add a hardwire kit or battery pack, or have yours fitted with our dash cam installation service in Nottingham.

Choosing a front and rear dash cam

Start with how many cameras you need. A 2 channel kit covers the front and rear, which suits most drivers. If you carry passengers for work, a 3 channel system adds a cabin camera, and 4 channel systems add a telephoto camera for reading number plates further ahead.

What to check

Rear resolution: many kits pair a 4K front with a 2K or 1080p rear.
Interior or exterior rear camera: a waterproof exterior rear camera is often easier on vans, motorhomes and cars with dark privacy glass.
Parking mode: buffered parking mode records the moments before an impact, and needs a hardwire kit or battery pack.
Cloud features: cloud connected dash cams send alerts to your phone when the car is parked.

Front and Rear Dash Cams FAQs
