A front-and-rear dash cam

When someone else's account of a crash differs from yours, footage ends the argument, and a rear camera catches the rear-ender too. This pick is a specification: whichever reputable one is cheapest today.

Buy it for
Daily drivers, and every new driver in the house.
Skip it if
You will not leave it plugged in. A dash cam that is off records nothing.

What actually matters when buying a dash cam

  1. Clear footage at night. That is when most incidents happen and cheap cameras fail.
  2. Front and rear cameras, so a rear-end collision is recorded too.
  3. A supercapacitor rather than a battery, which survives a hot car in summer.
  4. A high-endurance memory card, because constant recording wears ordinary cards out.
