Best Front and Rear Dash Cams of 2023

1. Position the rear camera at the top center of your rear windshield. This location covers the maximum amount of view from left to right. Try not to place the dash cam directly on the defrost grid wires.
2. Route the rear camera cable inside the headliner of your rear windshield.
3. Continue routing the rear camera cable through by placing the rear camera cable inside the weather stripe and through the C, B and A pillar.
4. Once you’ve reached the A Pillar, proceed to route the rear camera cable through the front windshield’s headliner until you reach the front dash cam. Plug your rear camera cable into the front dash cam to finish the installation.

If you drive a truck or heavy duty vehicle, you will need a rear camera that can be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle to watch over the traffic behind as well as cargo loading and unloading operations - it needs to be water-resistant and waterproof, and have excellent night vision.

Keeping the same ultra-stealth waterproof design, Full HD @60FPS video quality and no-hassle Cloud integration, the DR750X-2CH Truck Plus offers a fundamental upgrade from its predecessors - an improved image sensor. With its metal casing, the DR750X-2CH Truck Plus rear camera is built to withstand most weather conditions. The luminosity sensor detects ambient brightness, activating automatically the six built-in IR lights to help identify vehicles and objects even in the dark.
