Camera swivel angle in dashcam reviews

[tilt]

Cameras that have lenses that can swivel (eg.: wedge-shaped cameras) - would it be possible to show how much the lens can swivel? This would help people who have cars with almost-vertical windshields (say a Jeep Wrangler or a Mahindra Thar from India etc.).

In cars like these, the lens would need to swivel 90 degrees or more to be in a horizontal orientation, else the camera would only record the dash and the bonnet (hood) and nothing of the road itself.

Thanks and cheers

All the recommended wedge cameras will work on a vertical windscreen, might not quite be able to get the horizon at 50% height, but close enough.
Same goes for the rear cameras on the dual versions, although some of the rear cameras have more flexibility and can also rotate to face forward.

If you are not satisfied by the angle, then it is always possible to add a wedge to add a little extra angle.

Also there's a little give past the 90° mark, may not click into place and stay there but with a bit of DIY the lens can held in place.

Nigel, Harsh, thank you for the prompt and helpful response.
