The 9 Best Dash Cams For Truckers
Editor's Notes
May 16, 2019:
The Street Guardian X2Pro has a variety of useful features to help you capture high-quality footage, including a powerful processor and image sensor and a seven-element glass lens. It logs time, speed, and GPS coordinates with each video file, and it's designed to be user-friendly and easy to install. If you're on a budget, the Rexing V1 is one of the best models you can find for under $100. It records high-def 1080p video with an ultra-wide 170° lens, and its accident detecting G-sensor automatically locks footage of collisions to prevent it from being overwritten. The Vantrue N2 offers a high degree of protection, with infrared night vision and a 24-hour parking mode that automatically starts recording when it senses motion near your vehicle.
If you do a lot of driving in extreme temperatures, you may want to invest in a dash cam that's powered by a capacitor rather than a lithium battery, like the VicoVation Opia2, Thinkware F70, or Street Guardian X2Pro. These models tend to be a little pricier, but you won't have to worry about leaving them in your truck on particularly hot or cold days. The only downside is that they have to be hardwired, but they're typically not difficult to install.
