Hi

I have a dual channel street guardian dash cam that records the front and back of my truck. However as my title says, i am looking for a second camera system to record police interactions no matter which window/side they show up, usually they come upto passenger side. Which one do you recommend? (i live in the US)

thank you!
 
Viofo has cameras with a very wide FOV for the interior camera.
The A329S 3CH is something you should take a look at. It will cover all the windows.

If you want more coverage, then look at the Vantrue N5S. It has 2 interior cameras
 
N5 Footage from interior cameras, in small JAP 5 door hatchback.
camera offset a little hence why it cover one door better than the other.


There are also the small dual remote systems, though not many car centric but the motorcycle cameras are much the same and i am sure could also be used in a car

I used such a dual remote system to have side cameras on fixed glass on rear doors, worked good but for really close up the lenses should have been larger field of view.


I would think audio would be plenty to at least disprove he said / she said situations, who the person is i would assume rear camera would document the person walking up, but of course with a truck and rear camera in cabin, you are probably not getting a plate capture, that is if cars / police cars even have a plate in the front where you are.
I think i would just whip out my phone camera if i felt such a need

In Denmark much more relaxed, i get out of car to face them when pulled over, that is no problem here, visiting the US i probably better keep a checklist on the dashboard do not scare the poor officers when a huge crusty old Viking come out of the door like a jack in a box.

A option could also be the panning 70mai cameras like you can see on the R side of my windscreen in the video above, you just say " capture right / Left " or something like that and it turn to the right side.
