Sufficient field of view: We preferred models with an FOV in the range of 140 to 160 degrees-wide enough to take in a multi-lane highway or large intersection without creating a wide-angle effect that makes cars in front look farther away and details harder to see.Models without a display-generally not our preference-require you to use a phone or computer to view video footage and set up the camera.

Easy-to-read display: Most dash cams have a display that’s 1½ to 3½ inches diagonal displays that are at least 2 inches make it easier for you to adjust settings on the fly and preview footage.Most dash cam makers give you a choice between mount types or sell other options separately. Mounts that attach to the windshield with adhesive pads are often more compact and very secure, but they can be difficult to remove for repositioning or swapping between vehicles. Generally we’ve found suction-cup mounts to be the easiest to use.

Effective mounting system: We looked for mounts that held the camera securely yet allowed us to aim it easily, as well as to remove it easily.We also preferred models with buttons we could identify in the dark, as well as intuitive menus and a functional companion app.

Easy-to-use controls: We looked for models with clearly labeled, easily reachable controls (especially the video-lock button).

Night vision: We made night vision a requirement for a dash cam to be considered for testing since car crashes and other incidents you may want to document can occur at any time of day or night (as well as in dark environments such as highway tunnels).

We preferred models with 1296p or higher resolution, since their footage is often notably sharper than that of 1080p models, and we didn’t consider anything under 1080p.

At least 1080p resolution: A dash cam’s video-whether captured in light or dark conditions-has to be sharp and distinct enough that you, a lawyer, your insurance company, or a member of law enforcement can read license plates and see other details clearly.
