How we chose

We compared the published specifications of each model:

We only list products we could match to a live product page and an official affiliate link. We have not tested these cameras.

Custom-fit or universal?

Custom-fit OEM-style cams look factory-installed but only fit listed model years and trims. Universal cams fit almost any car and are easier to move to a new vehicle.

Winter driving in Canada and the northern US

Choose a camera with a supercapacitor instead of a battery; it handles cold and heat better. Botslab lists -20°C to 70°C for the G980H.

Cabin and 360° cameras

Rideshare drivers often add a cabin camera. Four-channel systems also record side impacts. Check local rules on recording passengers and audio.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best dash cam for a pickup truck?

For a Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Silverado or Tundra, a custom-fit MANGOAL cam keeps the windshield clean. For any truck, a universal Botslab G980H adds a rear camera.

Do dash cams work in cold Canadian winters?

Models with a supercapacitor handle cold better than battery models. Botslab lists -20°C to 70°C for the G980H.

Do I need a hardwire kit?

Only for parking mode. For recording while driving, the included power cable is enough.

How much storage do I need?

A 64GB card holds several hours of 4K loop recording. Multi-camera systems benefit from 128GB or more.
