Comparison of our 3 best DashCam

The word DashCam is the result of the contraction of "Dashboard" and "Camera" (dashboard and camera). It is a specific device used to make video recordings of everything that happens in and around a vehicle during a journey. The images are then stored on a memory card (SD) or transmitted to a smartphone with Bluetooth technology.

Prior to 2006, the use of DashCam remained the preserve of large corporate fleets and law enforcement. Since this year, it has become accessible to private drivers. To make the right choice of a car camera, several criteria must be taken into account, including:

- The resolution of the image

- The speed of recording

- The angle of view - Night vision

- The presence of a GPS - The parking mode

- WiFi and Bluetooth.

Here's a comparison of our 3 best DashCams.
