Which is the best dash cam in the UK? Quick answer

For the lowest price with a rear camera, the Nextbase 222X is the place to start. If you want 4K and a rear camera for a similar price, the REDTIGER is listed with both, although its rating is lower and shared across listings. The Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 is the discreet option, the 70mai A810S is a 4K front and 1080p rear kit with the highest rating here (4.5 from 765 ratings), and the Nextbase 322GW is a front-and-rear bundle with Wi-Fi. The Garmin Dash Cam 67W suits drivers who want a wide field of view and connected parking features, and the Nextbase 622GW is the premium front camera.

Check the current price, what is included in the box and whether you need a hardwire kit or memory card before you order.

Best dash cam UK comparison table: price, rating, resolution and rear camera

*The REDTIGER count appears to be shared across REDTIGER listings, and the Nextbase 322GW listing has style options (with or without the rear window camera) that may pool ratings, so these scores may not reflect one model alone. Resolution, rear camera and warranty details are taken from each Amazon UK listing.

Best 4K dash cam UK: three options compared

Three of the dash cams here list 4K front recording: the REDTIGER 4K Front and Rear (£124.99, rear camera included), the 70mai A810S (£179.99, 1080p rear camera included) and the Nextbase 622GW (£269.00, front camera only). Higher resolution can help with reading number plates, but lens, sensor and processing also matter, and 4K files take more storage.

Best front and rear dash cam UK: four options compared

Four of the cameras here include a rear camera: the Nextbase 222X (£109.50, 720p rear), the REDTIGER 4K Front and Rear (£124.99), the 70mai A810S (£179.99, 1080p rear) and the Nextbase 322GW bundle (£189.00, 720p rear). Rear cameras add cable routing, so check how the cable runs to the back of the car.

Best dash cam UK by budget

• Under £150: the Nextbase 222X (£109.50), REDTIGER 4K Front and Rear (£124.99) and Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 (£129.99).
• £150 to £250: the 70mai A810S (£179.99), Nextbase 322GW (£189.00) and Garmin Dash Cam 67W (£199.50).
• Over £250: the Nextbase 622GW (£269.00).

Prices were the main Amazon UK offers on 20 October 2026. These are the cameras we compared on Amazon UK, not every dash cam on sale.

Nextbase 222X: lowest-priced front-and-rear model here

Price: £109.50  |  Amazon rating: 4.4 from 1,348 ratings

The 222X is the cheapest front-and-rear option in this guide. The listing describes 1080p recording at 30fps with a 140° viewing angle, a click-in rear camera that records at 720p, and a 2.5-inch screen. It uses a Click&Go PRO powered magnetic mount, so the power cable plugs into the mount and the camera can be removed easily, and it has a parking mode that records a bump or movement when the car is left unattended. The listing gives microSD support up to 128GB and a listed weight of about 0.4kg.

Why choose it: a well-known UK dash cam brand at the lowest front-and-rear price here, with over a thousand ratings.

Things to check: the rear camera records at 720p, lower than the 1080p front camera, and the listing’s specification table shows Wi-Fi and app control, but several customer reviews say the 222X has no Wi-Fi or app, so confirm with Nextbase before relying on it. You will need a memory card; check what the listing includes.

REDTIGER 4K Front and Rear: 4K front-and-rear at a low price

Price: £124.99  |  Amazon rating: 4.2 from 26,147 ratings (likely shared across REDTIGER listings)

The REDTIGER (model F7NP) lists 4K recording with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, an F1.5 aperture with HDR, and dual lenses described as 170° and 140° for front and rear. It has built-in GPS, 5.8GHz Wi-Fi with an app for downloading footage, loop recording with selectable 1, 3 or 5-minute clips, and a screen of about 3.2 inches (the listing shows both 3.16 and 3.18 inches). The listing includes a 128GB card and a 2-year guarantee.

Why choose it: 4K and a rear camera at a price close to the cheapest option, with a huge rating count and a 2-year guarantee.

Things to check: the 4.2 rating is the lowest among the front-and-rear models here and the 26,147 count appears to be shared across REDTIGER listings, so it may not reflect this model alone. The listing says 24-hour parking monitoring needs a hardwire kit sold separately, and the listing advertises 5.8GHz Wi-Fi (the page also shows a 2.4GHz option, so confirm which applies), so check your phone supports 5GHz Wi-Fi.

Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3: compact, key-sized front camera

Price: £129.99  |  Amazon rating: 4.4 from 433 ratings

The Mini 3 is built to disappear behind the mirror. The listing describes a car-key-sized camera weighing about 30g with 1080p video, a 140° lens, Garmin Clarity HDR optics and a built-in polarising lens enhancement to reduce windscreen glare. It records continuously and automatically saves video of detected incidents with date and time stamps, and it supports voice commands in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Swedish. The cable can be routed upward or downward. Garmin lists a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Why choose it: a small, discreet camera from a major navigation brand, with voice control and a longer warranty than most.

Things to check: it records the road ahead only and has no rear camera. A car power adapter is listed in the box, and the listing mentions Parking Guard and Wi-Fi with the Garmin Drive app, but it does not say what power setup parking use needs. Check what memory card is included before you buy.

70mai A810S: 4K front and 1080p rear with a 4G remote option

Price: £179.99  |  Amazon rating: 4.5 from 765 ratings

The A810S pairs a 4K front camera (Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678) with a 1080p rear camera (IMX662). The listing describes an F1.7 aperture, HDR, a 3-inch screen, quad-mode GPS, ADAS driver alerts for collision risk and lane departure, and AI-based parking surveillance with time-lapse recording. It says a 210-second pre-recording feature can capture footage from up to 210 seconds before an incident, and that remote viewing over 4G needs a 70mai hardwire kit (UP04) sold separately. The listing includes a 128GB microSD card and a 1-year warranty.

Why choose it: 4K plus a 1080p rear camera, a card included in the box and the highest rating of the cameras here (4.5 from 765 ratings).

Things to check: the 4G remote features and parking surveillance need the separate hardwire kit, which adds cost. The listing does not say whether a SIM or data plan is needed or which networks are supported, so check with 70mai before relying on the 4G features. ADAS alerts are the manufacturer’s claim; they are an aid and no substitute for your own attention.

Nextbase 322GW: front-and-rear bundle with Wi-Fi and a touchscreen

Price: £189.00  |  Amazon rating: 4.4 from 736 ratings

The listing describes this as a bundle of the Nextbase 322GW front camera with a rear window camera (check the box contents with the seller). It describes 1080p front and 720p rear recording, a 140° wide viewing angle, an F1.6 lens, a touchscreen, and QuickLink Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 for syncing files to the MyNextbase Connect app so footage can be passed to your insurer. The rear window camera attaches via a 6m cable that can be hidden under the roof lining.

Why choose it: a front-and-rear kit with a touchscreen and an app from a UK dash cam specialist, with the rear camera set up for the back window.

Things to check: front video is 1080p rather than 2K or 4K, and the rear camera records at 720p. The listing mixes details (a 2.5-inch screen in the text but 3 inches in the specification, and an F1.6 lens in the bullets but 1.3 in the specification), so check the manufacturer’s page before you buy.

Garmin Dash Cam 67W: wide-angle camera with Parking Guard

Price: £199.50  |  Amazon rating: 4.2 from 1,221 ratings

The 67W is a pocket-sized camera with an extra-wide 180° lens and 1440p video with Garmin Clarity HDR optics. The listing describes GPS location stamps, voice control in several languages, and saved videos that upload by Wi-Fi to a secure online Vault. Its Parking Guard feature monitors activity around the parked vehicle and sends alerts, and Live View lets you access the camera remotely; the listing says Parking Guard needs a Wi-Fi connection and the Garmin Drive app, and Live View needs constant power, an active Wi-Fi connection and the app. The listing says a 16GB memory card is included, but some buyers report none in the box, so check on delivery. The camera weighs about 57g.

Why choose it: a very wide field of view and connected features from a well-known brand, in a small body.

Things to check: Parking Guard and Live View depend on a Wi-Fi connection, and Live View needs constant power, so plan the connectivity and check Garmin’s manual for the power setup Parking Guard needs. It is a front camera only. A separate, cheaper Amazon listing for a renewed 67W also exists, so check that you are buying the new one you intend.

Nextbase 622GW: 4K front camera with emergency SOS

Price: £269.00  |  Amazon rating: 4.1 from 841 ratings

The 622GW is the most expensive camera here and the highest-spec front camera. The listing describes 4K (3840 x 2160) recording at 30fps or 1080p at 120fps for slow motion, an 8MP sensor, an F1.3 lens with 140° field of view, a rotating polarising filter, a 3-inch touchscreen and electronic image stabilisation. It lists a 10Hz GPS, what3words location sharing, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and an Emergency SOS feature with crash detection (check Nextbase’s page for what it needs, such as a paired phone and the app). Parking mode needs a hardwire kit or constant 12V feed, sold separately, and the listing says a microSD card is required and sold separately. The warranty is 1 year.

Why choose it: the longest feature list on paper here for a single front camera, from a UK dash cam specialist.

Things to check: there is no rear camera, a memory card and the parking-mode wiring are extra costs, and the 4.1 rating is the lowest in this guide. The listing gives card limits inconsistently (up to 256GB in the text, 128GB in the specification), so check the manufacturer’s page for the right card.

How we chose these dash cams

This is a research-based shortlist. Everything below comes from Amazon UK listings, including the manufacturers’ descriptions on those pages, checked on 20 October 2026.

We started with Amazon UK, the place most British buyers will actually shop, and looked at dash cams from well-known brands that cover the main ways people buy: front-and-rear, compact front-only and higher-resolution models. We compared each listing’s stated specifications, the manufacturer’s own claims on that page, and the customer rating and number of ratings shown at the time, across a range of prices from £109.50 to £269.00.

Figures such as resolution, field of view and parking features are the manufacturer’s claims as they appear on Amazon, and different brands describe them differently, so they are not directly comparable between brands. We show the number of ratings next to every score, because a rating from a handful of reviews counts for little. We will update this guide when prices, ratings or availability change. These are the cameras we compared on Amazon UK, not every dash cam on sale.

How to choose a dash cam in the UK: buying guide

Front only, or front and rear?

A front camera covers the most common incidents, but a rear camera records what happens behind you, such as a rear-end collision. Of the cameras here, the Nextbase 222X, REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 322GW bundle include a rear camera, while the Garmin Mini 3, Garmin 67W and Nextbase 622GW are front-only. Rear cameras add cable routing, so check how the cable is run to the back of the car.

Resolution: 1080p, 1440p or 4K

Higher resolution can make number plates and road signs easier to read, but resolution is not the only factor: lens quality, sensor, HDR processing and the angle of view all affect the footage, and 4K files take more storage. The cameras here range from 1080p (Garmin Mini 3, Nextbase 222X and 322GW) to 1440p (Garmin 67W) and 4K (REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 622GW). Manufacturers describe their night-vision features differently, so treat the claims as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Parking mode and the extra kit it needs

Parking modes record a bump or movement when the car is parked. Most of the listings here note that continuous parking monitoring needs a constant 12V supply or a hardwire kit, sold separately (the REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 622GW say this, and the Garmin 67W listing says Parking Guard needs Wi-Fi and Live View needs constant power). Hardwire kits connect to your car’s fuse box, and the REDTIGER listing says one is needed to protect the car battery from draining. If you are not confident doing this, have a qualified auto electrician fit it, and follow both the camera maker’s and your vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

Memory cards and storage

Dash cams record to a memory card and overwrite the oldest footage when it is full (loop recording), while locking the clips saved by an incident. Some listings include a card (the 70mai A810S lists a 128GB card, the REDTIGER lists 128GB and the Garmin 67W a 16GB card) while others do not state one, so check what is in the box and buy a high-endurance card of the capacity the maker recommends if one is not included.

Wi-Fi, apps and GPS

Apps let you download footage to your phone without taking the card out, which is useful when you need to send a clip to an insurer. The Nextbase 322GW and 622GW listings name the MyNextbase Connect app, Garmin’s listings name the Garmin Drive app, and the REDTIGER advertises 5.8GHz Wi-Fi. GPS adds speed and location to your footage; some drivers like this as extra evidence, though others prefer not to record their speed, so check the setting you prefer.

Mounting and the law

Using a dash cam is legal in the UK, but you must be able to see the road clearly. GOV.UK’s MOT guidance treats an obstruction in the swept area of the windscreen that significantly affects the driver’s view as a defect, and a major defect (an MOT fail) where it significantly affects the view of the road. Mount the camera where it stays out of your line of sight, for example close to the mirror, and follow the maker’s instructions for positioning and cable routing. Check GOV.UK’s MOT inspection manual (visibility section) for the current rules. Footage can show other people and number plates, so think before posting it publicly and consider giving it to the police or your insurer instead.

Dash cam FAQs for UK drivers

Which is the best dash cam in the UK?

It depends on what you need. Of the cameras we compared on Amazon UK, the Nextbase 222X (£109.50) is the lowest-priced front-and-rear model, the 70mai A810S (£179.99) has 4K front plus a 1080p rear camera and the highest rating, and the Nextbase 622GW (£269.00) has the highest-spec front camera.

Are dash cams legal in the UK?

Yes, using a dash cam is legal in the UK, but you must be able to see the road clearly, so mount it where it does not significantly affect your view. Check GOV.UK’s MOT guidance on windscreen obstructions for the current rules.

Do I need a rear dash cam?

Not necessarily, but a rear camera records what happens behind your car. The Nextbase 222X, REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 322GW bundle include one.

Do I need a hardwire kit for parking mode?

The listings for the REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 622GW say continuous parking monitoring needs a hardwire kit or constant 12V power, sold separately. The Garmin 67W listing says Parking Guard needs a Wi-Fi connection and the Garmin Drive app. Check each listing before you buy.

What is the best 4K dash cam in the UK?

Of the cameras we compared on Amazon UK, three list 4K: the REDTIGER 4K Front and Rear (£124.99), the 70mai A810S (£179.99) and the Nextbase 622GW (£269.00). The 70mai A810S has the highest rating here, 4.5 from 765 ratings.

Do dash cams record when the car is parked?

Some do, using a parking mode that records bumps or movement. The listings for the REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 622GW say continuous parking monitoring needs a hardwire kit or constant 12V power, sold separately, and the Garmin 67W listing says its Parking Guard needs Wi-Fi and the Garmin Drive app, and its Live View needs constant power.

Do dash cams come with a memory card?

Some do. The 70mai A810S and REDTIGER list a 128GB card, the Garmin 67W lists a 16GB card (although some buyers report none in the box), and the Nextbase 622GW says a microSD card is required and sold separately. Check each listing.

Is 4K worth it for a dash cam?

4K gives more detail than 1080p, which can help with reading number plates, but image quality also depends on the sensor, lens and processing, and 4K files use more storage. Three of the cameras here (REDTIGER, 70mai A810S and Nextbase 622GW) list 4K.
