Our pick of the best dash cams UK covers six cameras you can order today, from a £37.99 front and rear kit to a 4K VIOFO with Wi-Fi 6 and GPS. Prices were checked on Amazon UK on 13 November 2026 and may change.
A dash cam gives you video evidence if someone pulls out on you, scrapes your car in a car park or disputes what happened after a bump. With dark afternoons and wet roads from November onwards, night recording matters as much as resolution, so we have looked closely at the sensor, the rear camera and the parking mode on each one.

Our reviews of the best dash cams UK
Here is a closer look at each pick, with the price we saw on Amazon UK on 13 November 2026, who sells it, the key specs from the listing and who it suits.
ORSKEY S900 Front and Rear Dash Cam (1080p)
The ORSKEY S900 cost £37.99 when we checked, sold by ORSKEY-UK. It records 1080p at 30fps from the front, has a second camera for the rear and uses 170-degree wide-angle lenses, with an SD card included in the box.
Loop recording, a G-sensor that locks footage after a bump, parking monitoring and motion detection are all listed. With more than 11,800 ratings it is one of the most reviewed cheap kits on Amazon UK, and a sensible first dash cam if you mainly want basic evidence on a budget.
GKU D600 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam
The GKU D600 cost £54.96, sold by a third-party seller. The front camera records in 4K and the rear in 1080p, and it comes with a 64GB SD card, so you can start recording straight away.
Dual-band 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi lets you download clips to your phone with the GKU GO app instead of pulling out the card. It also has loop recording, a G-sensor and two 24-hour parking modes, although those normally need a hardwire kit or constant power to work while the car is off.
Nextbase 222X Front and Rear Dash Cam
Nextbase is one of the best-known dash cam brands in the UK, and the 222X kit cost £89.99 from a third-party seller. It records 1080p at 30fps through a 140-degree lens, with a click-in rear camera and a 2.5-inch IPS screen for reviewing footage in the car.
Its Click&Go Pro mount carries the power cable, so you can lift the camera off and take it with you without unplugging anything. Resolution is lower than the 4K models here, but it is simple to fit and use, which is why it is one of the best dash cams UK drivers pick as a first upgrade.
70mai A810 Lite 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam
The 70mai A810 Lite cost £99.99, sold by 70mai’s own store. It records 4K at the front and 1080p at the rear, with an F1.55 aperture and HDR for low-light driving, plus Wi-Fi 6 and GPS tracking.
Its stand-out feature is 4G LTE support, which lets you view live footage and get alerts in the 70mai app when you are away from the car. That needs a compatible 4G module and data plan, so check the listing before you buy if remote viewing is the main reason you want it.
REDTIGER F7NP 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam
The REDTIGER F7NP cost £124.99, sold by a third-party seller. It uses a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with an F1.5 aperture and HDR, which REDTIGER says is tuned for dark winter afternoons and unlit roads.
It also has 5.8GHz Wi-Fi, built-in GPS that logs your speed and route, and comes with a 128GB card. With more than 25,000 ratings, it is the most reviewed camera in this guide and a strong all-rounder for regular motorway drivers.
VIOFO A119M Pro 4K HDR Mini Dash Cam
The VIOFO A119M Pro cost £159.99, sold by VIOFO Ltd. It is a front-only camera that records 4K at 30fps on a STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, with HDR, Wi-Fi 6, quad-mode GPS and voice control.
The small, low-profile body sits neatly behind the rear-view mirror, and a CPL filter is included to cut windscreen glare. It offers three parking modes with buffered recording, which saves the seconds before an event. It is newer and has fewer ratings than the others, so it suits keen drivers who want a discreet, high-quality front camera.
How we chose the best dash cams UK drivers can buy
We started with the most popular dash cams on Amazon UK and kept only models that were in stock on 13 November 2026, with a clear price and a solid rating from real buyers. We then picked one for each budget and need: a cheap front and rear kit, good-value 4K, a well-known brand, remote access, night driving and a compact premium option.
For our list of the best dash cams UK buyers should consider, we relied on the specifications in each listing and did not test the cameras on the road ourselves, so we have avoided claims about picture quality that we could not check. If you want more ideas for the car or the commute, our guide to the best bike lights for winter commuting covers the other side of the school run.
Dash cam buying tips
Front only or front and rear?
A front camera records what happens ahead, which covers most accidents. A rear camera adds protection against people driving into the back of you, which is one of the most common claims. Most of the best dash cams UK shops sell now come as front and rear kits.
Resolution and night vision
On the best dash cams UK sellers list, 4K makes it easier to read number plates, but the sensor and lens matter just as much in the dark. Look for a Sony STARVIS or STARVIS 2 sensor, a wide aperture such as F1.5 to F1.8, and HDR.
Parking mode and power
Parking modes only work if the camera has power when the engine is off. That usually means a hardwire kit connected to the fuse box, which you may want a fitter to install.
Memory cards
Use a high-endurance microSD card. Even the best dash cams UK drivers can buy write data constantly, and ordinary cards can wear out. Check the maximum card size each camera supports.
Mounting and the law
Mount the camera so it does not block your view of the road; the Highway Code says your windscreen view should be clear. If your camera also records people outside your own property, such as when parked at home, the ICO’s guidance on domestic CCTV explains your responsibilities.
Black Friday and dash cams
Black Friday falls on 27 November 2026, and dash cams are often included in the sales. Some of the best dash cams UK retailers stock may drop in price then, but we have not quoted any discounts here; the prices above are what we saw on the day. If you are waiting for the sales, add your pick to your basket so you can compare quickly on the day.
Best dash cams UK: frequently asked questions
Do I need a front and rear dash cam?
Not always, but a rear camera helps if someone drives into the back of you, which is a common type of collision. Front and rear kits cost a little more and take longer to fit.
Can dash cam footage be used by the police and insurers?
Yes. UK police forces accept dash cam footage of dangerous driving through their online reporting pages, and many insurers will look at footage when deciding who was at fault.
Will a dash cam lower my car insurance?
Some insurers offer a small discount for a dash cam, but many do not. The main benefit is evidence if there is a dispute about a claim.
Do dash cams drain the car battery?
When plugged into a 12V socket, most dash cams switch off with the ignition. If you hardwire one for parking mode, use a kit with a low-voltage cut-off so it stops before the battery runs down.
What memory card should I use in a dash cam?
Use a high-endurance microSD card of the size the camera supports, as recommended for the best dash cams UK shops sell. These are designed for constant recording and last longer than standard cards.
Our verdict on the best dash cams UK
For most drivers, the GKU D600 is the best-value 4K front and rear kit, while the ORSKEY S900 is the one to buy on a tight budget. If you want a familiar name and an easy screen, choose the Nextbase 222X. For night driving, the REDTIGER F7NP is our favourite, and the VIOFO A119M Pro is the best compact front camera among the best dash cams UK stores had in stock.
