How we picked
A cabin-facing camera in the standard kit. Check your licensing authority's CCTV rules before fitting one. Then they're ranked by spec score — built only from specs confirmed on each maker's official pages. How scores work.
What to look for
- A cabin-facing camera, ideally with infrared for night fares.
- Your licensing authority's CCTV rules come first: under the statutory standards, audio must not record continuously by default and passengers must be told. See UK dash cam laws.
- A way to switch recording off when the car is used privately.
