How to Choose the Best Dashboard Camera
If you’ve already been doing any research on dash cams then you already know there are 100s of cameras in all shapes, sizes, features, and prices to choose from!
My guess is you probably already have analysis paralysis, right?
It’s crazy how many dashcams under 200 dollars there are to choose from, Ugh!
3 Step DashCam Buyers Guide
Listen, let’s break your decision down into 3 easy steps:
- Price – don’t pay more than you need to for extra you won’t use.
- Brand – most cameras are made by the same companies, but some brands are of better quality.
- Features – keep it simple to operate by finding a dash cam for your particular needs and skip the fluff.
Now, let’s go shopping for dash cameras…
Prices for entry-level cams start around $50 and go up from there…
1. Don’t underestimate a deal! Some dash cams priced under $50 are still pretty good quality.
However, if you’re looking for better quality video and sound, then you’re going to have to spend a little bit more. Check out this list of best selling dash cams under $100 to see what’s hot!
Keep in mind: some dash cameras are very simple and if that’s all you need then don’t pay for extra features or quality that you won’t use anyways.
Next on the list is Brand, which is a bit tricky because most dashcam brands aren’t familiar.
2. It’s not every day you shop for a dash camera, so you’re probably wondering which name is the best, right?
Here’s a list of 10 brands that ranked in our research: Garmin, YI, Esky, Bebo, Transcend, Black Box, Metra, GVB, PAPAGO, Aukey. Don’t worry; you’re normal if Garmin is the only brand name you recognize on the list. Back before smartphones, Garmin was the best GPS.
And here’s the top 3 brands with the most customer reviews: KDLINKS, REXING, and Garmin.
Finally, here’s 3 TOP customers ranked cams: Falcon Zero, TryAce, and PowerLead.

The good NEWS is – even a low-cost camera can do more than you think. Let’s get you warmed up with a list of features you will see on many of the products listed on Best Dash Cameras.

How To Choose A Good Dash Camera
- Start with a budget.
We’ve seen dash cams that can cost up to $400, so it’s good to set a budget for shopping. Go ahead, write down a number.
- How do you plan to use your dashcam?
In the video, you watched above it’s obvious this is just a simple general purpose camera to video the front of the vehicle and record sound. But that’s just a single use case. Maybe you plan to make a documentary doing storm chasing and want a dash camera that swivels around so you can drive and talk at the same time? Or maybe you want to do a 360 video and to watch it with VR Goggles? Maybe you don’t know yet, but you want something that is as nice as your luxury car? Whatever your plans are, start with a list of use cases. Go ahead, write them down.
- What features do you want on your dashcam (Wish List)?
The list of whistles and bells is enormous to pick from: Dual Dashcams, HD, Night Vision, Cloud Storage and Wifi is just the beginning. However, it’ll come down to budget and use cases that matter more. But don’t worry, even $50 dash cameras have pretty good features. Either way, make a BIG wish list.
