Here’s our recommendations on premium front-back dash cameras for 2019. Learn which cameras give you better reliability, performance, and features when you spend the extra money. We used over $2000 of our own money and 100+ hours testing cameras to give you our three top picks.

⚡️⚡️ UPDATE - NOV 11, 2019 ⚡️⚡️
Street Guardian has fixed error notification issues with the latest firmware. The SG663DCPRO adds a Starvis sensor to the rear camera for at no added cost. We'll be adding our thoughts on the A129 PRO and Thinkware U1000 in the future. They are good and may replace the F800 PRO and Blackvue DR900S depending on their parking mode and cloud performance. The Street Guardian model remains a good buy for its focus on reliability and a 2-year warranty.

OUR TOP PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM
I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017. No paid reviews here. When you buy using links below, we may earn an affiliate commission. Car Cam Central is viewer supported.


👉#1️ BLACKVUE DR900S-2CH
Has the best video quality, cloud (internet) features and a refined design that looks great in luxury vehicles. It's 4K front camera resolution picks up more details during the day which is added insurance for hit and runs to capture license plates. Its cloud features will push impact notifications and give you live video viewing capabilities if the DR900 is connected to the internet through a WiFi network.

👉#2 THINKWARE F800 PRO
Our pick for the best-parked recording system. It uses less energy compared to other cameras on the market especially with its unique energy-saving impact only mode. The downside is the slightly reduced video quality compared to Street Guardian and Blackvue.
