Best Dash Cams of 2026

A replacement for the Mini A119 Mini which comes with a Sony Starvis 2 sensor. This provides slightly better video quality at night. Overall a decent dash cam for the money.

One of the best single channel dash cams from a video quality perspective. The A119M Pro improves on the familiar A119 formula by adding 4K video in the same discreet wedge form factor. We recommend the 2K A119 Mini 2 if you are on a budget and the 4K A119M Pro if you want better video quality.

Good video 4K quality, small form factor and optional cloud support are great features but note the camera runs hot.

The A810S is a nice improvement over the popular A810. The 4K front video quality is impressive and build quality is excellent. The dash cam now sports a capacitor instead of a battery and rear video quality, while not the best, has been improved.

The addition of buffered parking mode, WiFi 6 and voice control at this price point makes the A810S one of the best value picks for a 2-channel camera.

The 70mai A810 Lite is a budget 2-channel dash cam that delivers good value. Despite cheaper build quality and a GalaxyCore sensor instead of Sony STARVIS 2, it provides clear 4K front footage and acceptable 1080p rear video.

Strengths include good front HDR video, Wi-Fi 6, and a compact design. Weaknesses include cheap-feeling construction, limited 24/25fps dual-channel recording, and no rear HDR.

The 70mai A810S is better overall thanks to its STARVIS 2 sensor, wedge design, 30fps recording, and stronger build quality, but the A810 Lite is worth considering for budget buyers.

Good video quality, decent parking mode and the best cloud capability. Great camera but expensive.

Flagship camera with the best parking mode currently available. While video quality is good, not the best compared to other premium competitors.

The T800 has great video quality and is one of the first dash cams with 4K rear video. Lots of features and reasonable price make this a decent buy for a 3-channel camera.

The A329S is Viofo’s flagship 3-channel dash cam and has excellent video quality. While expensive, it is the current benchmark for video quality.

One of the best 3-channel cameras for video quality currently on the market. A bit pricey but overall a great camera.

The Vantrue N5S is a good 4-channel dash cam, one of the few available today. The front and rear exterior facing cameras use 2K Starvis 2 sensors providing good video quality. Front and rear interior cameras are 1080p which is adequate for that recording. Its biggest strength is comprehensive coverage, including two interior-facing cameras ideal for rideshare drivers.

However, the 2K night video quality is not the greatest, especially when trying to read license plates. Price tag is reasonable given it comes with 4 cameras, buffered parking mode and voice control. Overall a good option for someone looking at 4-channel dash cams.

Currently the best dash cam for license plate capture. While expensive it has top of the line features such as SSD support and fast WiFi 6.
