The Best Car Cameras/DVRs for Every Use
For drivers who want a recording in case of an incident.
Find the ideal dash cam for your needs — from basic front-facing road recording to full front and rear coverage with GPS.
For everyday use
The 70mai A800SE-1 covers both sides of the car: the front camera records in 4K, while the second camera, mounted on the rear window, captures what happens behind you. If someone rear-ends you at a traffic light, the incident is recorded by the second camera too.
The GPS records your speed and location along with the video, while the impact sensor saves footage of a collision separately. The 3-inch screen lets you see what it captured on the spot, without opening your phone.
With Parking Mode, it can also record while the car is parked, provided it has a continuous power supply.
For Everyday Use
- Detailed front video: 4K
- Rear recording too: second camera included
- Speed and location shown in the video: GPS
- View recordings on the spot: 3" screen
- Parked car monitoring: parking mode
The 4K A800SE records true 4K UHD (3840×2160) at 30FPS, capturing critical details with absolute clarity.
Hardware-level HDR balances shadows and bright highlights, delivering a natural image in any lighting condition, from intense sunlight to tunnels and night driving.
For discreet recording of the road ahead
The 70mai M310 Plus 2K is small and screen-free, so it hides behind the rear-view mirror and won’t distract you while driving. As soon as you start the car, it begins recording automatically in 1440p.
You can view and download videos to your phone via Wi-Fi using the app. The collision sensor saves footage of an impact separately, and parking mode lets the camera record while the car is parked, provided it has a continuous power supply. All you need to get started is a microSD card.

Featured review:
It was easy to install behind the mirror. I had a little trouble hiding the power cable so it wasn’t in the way. The camera has a wide-angle lens and captures everything. It doesn’t have a screen, but you can see everything on your phone. It responds to voice commands, and the image quality is excellent, both in photos and videos. I bought a good SD card that can withstand high temperatures, because it gets scorching hot on the windshield in summer.
For when your car is parked on the street
If you park on the street and leave your car there all night, the Imou T800 is designed for parking surveillance. Its impact sensor detects a bump to your parked car, records it and saves the footage separately. To record while the engine is off, it needs a continuous power supply.
The camera records in 4K, giving you a better chance of reading the license plate if a passing car hits yours. Night recording helps when the street is lit only by streetlights. It has no screen and attaches to the windshield with adhesive tape.

To record speed and location

The resolution is 1944p, and you can check the recording on the 2-inch screen without using your phone. Videos transfer to your phone via Wi-Fi, while the collision sensor saves footage of an impact separately. When you turn off the engine, recording stops too.
It has remained a popular choice among users for a long time.
To record speed and location
- Speed and location in the video: GPS
- Clear view of the road: 1944p

Review we selected:
Truly the best car camera I have ever used. Really very good, with speed and GPS location recording (which helps in the event of an incident). The recording is roll-over. I am absolutely satisfied. I would just like it to record when the car is off (as long as it has a power supply), but it is unable to do so.
Whichever camera you choose, use a microSD card that can withstand continuous recording and the heat of a windshield in summer. Set the date and time from day one so every video has the correct timestamp.
