The best dash cam at the top of this list, we have the Xiaomi Yi. With its size of 74mm x 19.4mm x 52.4mm (length x width x height) and weight of 74g, it is a compact, but powerful car camera that records 60 frames per second in Full HD 1080p video quality. The high-end lens on this dash cam has a 165 degrees wide-angle, which provides a view that is two times wider than the human eye and can easily cover 3 lanes.

It has built-in Wi-Fi, which is great because you can check the footage and replay it in real-time. The footage can also be immediately downloaded to your phone because this dash cam connects to the YI dash cam app that you can install on your phone. If not, you have a slot for a micro SD card that supports up to 64GB of storage, so you don’t have to worry about that.

This system also features ADAS (or Advanced Driver Assistance System) Intelligence Driving Assistance. This consists of a lane departure warning and a forward collision warning. They work by analyzing the speed and the distance of the vehicle in front and will alert you if you stray from your lane or get too close to the car in front. And it has built-in G-sensor technology that allows the dash cam to automatically save footage in the events leading up to a collision and immediately after, so you can be sure that you have a record of any incident that might occur.

Overall, you get excellent value for the money you spend on this dash cam, the only drawback is that you don’t have GPS tracking for your trips.

Out of all those dash cams available out there, nothing beats the APEMAN 1080p dash cam as an overall package. It’s very well priced, yet cuts absolutely no corners. Video is recorded at 1080p, and you can capture 12MP photos as well. The lens has a 170 degree field of view, so nothing gets left out.

Add to this a built-in G sensor that locks footage from deletion if something happens, and an excellent night time recording performance, and you’ve got yourself what’s possibly the best car camera at a price that’s a fraction of some of the premium models. 

If you’d rather compromise a few features, but instead get two cameras so you’re covered both at the front and the rear, the CHORTAU Dual Dash Cam is a great pick. The front camera records at 1080p and has a 170 degree field of view, while the rear only has a 130 degree field of view.

You get all the standard features – loop recording, G-sensor to lock any footage if something happens, parking mode, and easy installation, but you do compromise a bit in terms of video quality at the rear. If you don’t mind this, go for it. 

For those who don’t mind paying a bit more, we’ve also got a premium pick – the Z-Edge Dual Dash Cam. It does everything you need it to, with the front camera recording 1440p video, and the rear one 1080p video, both at 30 FPS and with great quality.

When you factor in the GPS navigation module, night vision and wide field of view on both lenses, this is the best car camera to go for if you’d like a premium pick.

This dash cam design is very sleek and not at all obtrusive. This dash cam attaches to the glass with a high-temperature resistant adhesive that will not leave any damage or traces on it, so you can rest assured that it won’t fall off even in extreme conditions.

It provides excellent video quality with its Sony IMX323 image sensor, whose components will capture clear images even at night. Everything is recorded in 1920x1080P HD resolution in a wide area in front of the car, an angle of 130 degrees to be exact.

One of its many features is the built-in Wi-Fi that allows you to watch everything that is recorded in real-time on the Xiaomi 70mai Dash Cam app on your phone, which Is available on and can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple Store.

This dash cam also comes with G-sensor technology and an advanced H.264 photography compression technology, which helps store the videos at the highest possible video quality and plays a large part in saving storage. While talking about storage, it’s worth mentioning that it offers a maximum external memory capacity of 64GB.

Along with the dash cam, in the box, you get a car charger and a micro USB power cable, and also an excellent rotatable holder that would meet all your recording demands. Just like the one before, this dash cam also lacks GPS integration, but other than that it’s an excellent and affordable addition to your car.

This one has two parts two it, the frontal dash cam which has a sleek hockey puck design, while the rear one is even smaller and has a circular design. Compared to the competitors on the market which only reach 720P while simultaneously recording, this is the first dual dash cam that can do it in 1920x1080P@30FPS. Next, we will go more in-depth about each of them separately.

The frontal dash cam is equipped with a SONY IMX307 sensor and if it records on its own, its quality goes to 1440P@30FPS. This one is magnetically attached to its mount and can be rotated at a 360-degree angle while mounted.

This dash cam also has Wi-Fi and an app on which you can view the real-time footage or choose to save and download it later. It’s worth mentioning that if you are viewing the real-time footage, the resolution will only be 640x260@60FPS, but when you download it, it will be saved as 1920x1080P@60FPS. This dash cam also has built-in GPS which tracks your driving route, location, and speed and can even stay on for 24 hours as a parking monitor because of its 320mAh battery, functioning as a surveillance dash cam system that will automatically record video when it detects any physical movement.

It is a great dash cam overall, but unlike the other cameras within its price range, this one does not have a screen, which could be a dealbreaker for some.

This dash cam has it all. It is a tri-channel, two-unit set comprised of a 155° front dash cam, 165° inside the dash cam, and 160° rear camera to record front, back, and inside cabin field of view simultaneously 1440P + 1080P + 1080P at 30FPS, while also recording audio.

Unlike the others this dash cam does not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities, so your footage is saved on an microSD card, which is not included. It is capable of housing up to 256GB of external memory, though, which is more than enough.

Next, it is supercapacitor powered instead of lithium batteries, which gives a longer lifespan and performs better in extreme weather conditions. It can also monitor your car for 24 hours while parked, and automatically record when it detects motion. This dash cam has a screen but does not come out of the box with GPS tracking, it has to be added on extra.

This dual dash cam is very popular in the lower-price range, thanks to its excellent performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. It features a small, sleek, wedge-shaped design and is not obtrusive at all.

This dash cam also doesn’t support Wi-Fi, but thanks to the 3-inch IPS panel screen you are still able to review the footage on the go.

This dual-camera Mirror car dash cam captures both the front view of the car with an angle of 170° in up to 1080P and the rearview with an angle of 120° in 480P. Both dash cam components are small and not obtrusive, the front one is attached to the rear-view mirror while the rear one can be put on the inside, or even the outside of the rear glass, because of its waterproof design. This dash cam also features a 4.3-inch touch screen.

Just like the cameras we talked about before, this one too comes equipped with a G-sensor that detects even the slightest of bumps, and integrated Seamless Loop Recording that will overwrite old footage with a new one, so that the storage on the SD card, which can be up to 32GB, never fills up.

This small, but powerful dash cam is installed on the windshield with a suction cup mount and is plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. It requires a constant power supply because the built-in battery is quite small and only designed for emergency power.

It also has a built-in G-sensor which saves and locks the current footage when it detects a collision and also has Seamless Loop Recording, which will automatically overwrite the oldest file to save the current one, so you never have to worry about storage.

Oh, and the camera supports an external memory card of up to 32GB which needs to be bought separately. It also has motion detection and works as a Parking mode monitor, meaning it will automatically turn on and record a short 30-second video if anything happens to the car while it is parked.

Overall, this dash cam is not at all pricey and the video quality is not quite the best, but still okay for a camera of this price range. Most importantly, it is good enough to protect you on the road and will provide enough evidence to prove your claim in an accident.
