We’ve tested range of dashcams and found out which are worth mounting in your vehicle.
We install each dashcam in a car and drive an urban route both at night and during daylight. In our lab, we analyse the performance and the quality of the recordings captured in all conditions. We also consider each dashcam’s features and how easy they are to use.
Overall score breakdown
Our dashcams test assesses:
Picture quality
Picture quality is tested both while the vehicle is stationary and moving. We look for clarity of image, detail, any blurring from vibration, and how well colours are represented.
We include a daylight test on a sunny day and a night-time test where our vehicle is lit by the headlights of others. More weight is placed on the daylight picture quality score. We also measure the field of view.
Ease of use

installation.
set-up.
mounting and removing the camera.
adjusting settings.
