Four picks from budget dual-cam to stealth 4K. No fluff, just what works on the road.
Updated February 8, 2026Front and rear coverage with a free 128GB card in the box. STARVIS 2 sensor reads plates at night. Polished app, simple setup, and a supercapacitor that handles Florida summers. This is the one most people should buy.
The enthusiast pick. Dual STARVIS 2 sensors with HDR on both channels. Night footage looks like daytime on cheaper cams. CPL filter included. You pay more, but the image quality gap is real.
Size of a dollar coin. Magnetic mount, CPL filter in the box, and PlatePix tech that actually helps read plates at night. No rear cam, but if you want 4K stealth that disappears behind your mirror, this is it.
The set-and-forget cam. Tiny as a car key, built-in polarizer cuts windshield glare, and syncs up to four Garmin cams through one app. Only 1080p, but the Garmin ecosystem and dead-simple operation make up for it.
