What to Look For

Cameras are a dime a dozen these days, so how did we find the best dual-camera sets? To start, we identified these key components: Do they have collision detection? How is the image quality? Can you pair them with your phone? For example, RedTiger offers a super high-res camera kit that can hold up to 256 gigabytes of data. It automatically detects crashes and saves your videos, and you can use your phone to download the files. A simpler option would be to use Galphi’s three-way camera system. It doesn’t use a phone app but simply connects to the car’s power to work. In case of an incident, the camera automatically logs and saves the video, which you can then copy to your computer via an SD card reader. Keep reading and we’ll go into more detail on each front and rear dash camera system.

RedTiger Front Rear Dash Cameras

This dash cam kit has everything we’re looking for. It has a beautiful, crystal-clear monitor built into the unit. The 4K resolution captures everything in fine detail, so you can even identify quick hit-and-runs. One thing we love about this camera system is its storage capacity. Many dashcams only accept SD cards up to about 32 or 64 gigabytes. This one, however, can use cards up to 256 gigabytes. If you live in a busy city or commute a lot, this camera system can provide some peace of mind.

Pros:

• The camera and display have a quick-release mechanism so you can remove them after parking. If you live in an area with a lot of car thefts, this is crucial because an expensive camera is enticing to thieves.
• The resolution is true 4K (unlike some dashcams on the market that claim to be 4K but really aren’t). The camera lens settings are adjusted perfectly for the best picture.

Cons:

• The app tends to load videos slowly, so we recommend just popping out the memory card and using an SD card reader on your computer.
