Best Dash Cams for 4WDs, Cars and Caravans

A dash cam is one of the most valuable safety upgrades you can add to your vehicle. Whether you’re recording your next off-road adventure or protecting yourself from insurance disputes, All12 Volts has a range of dash cameras to suit every 4WD, car, or caravan setup.

Why You Need a Dash Cam

Dash cams continuously record the road ahead — and sometimes the rear — giving you clear, timestamped evidence of what happens on every trip. They’re useful for safety, accountability, and capturing memorable journeys.

  • Protect yourself in case of accidents or false claims
  • Monitor vehicle use and driving behaviour
  • Record scenic drives and off-road tracks
  • Provide peace of mind when your vehicle is parked

Types of Dash Cams

Front-Facing Dash Cams

Front-only cameras record the road ahead and are ideal for everyday driving. They’re compact, affordable, and simple to install.

  • Continuous loop recording with auto overwrite
  • G-sensor detects sudden impacts and saves footage
  • Wide-angle lenses capture more of the road

Dual Dash Cams (Front and Rear)

Dual dash cams record both in front of and behind your vehicle — essential for drivers towing caravans or travelling long distances. Rear footage adds extra protection against tailgating and rear-end collisions.

  • Front + rear HD or 4K cameras
  • Ideal for caravans, 4WDs, and fleet vehicles
  • Hardwire-ready for constant power recording

4WD and Off-Road Dash Cams

Built to handle vibration, dust, and heat, 4WD dash cams are designed for tough conditions. Perfect for recording trails and protecting your rig on and off the track.

  • Shock-resistant and temperature-tolerant design
  • Secure mounting and heavy-duty wiring
  • Optional GPS tagging and off-road map overlays

Caravan and Reverse-View Dash Cams

Some dash cams double as a reverse camera or support secondary inputs for towing setups. They’re ideal for caravans, motorhomes, and dual-purpose touring vehicles.

  • Monitor caravan or trailer connections in real time
  • Combine safety recording with reversing vision
  • Hardwire kits available for permanent installation

Key Dash Cam Features to Consider

  • Resolution: Choose Full HD (1080p) or 4K for clear details
  • Night Vision: Infrared or low-light sensors improve clarity after dark
  • Parking Mode: Records while your car is parked (requires constant power)
  • GPS Tracking: Adds speed and location data to recordings
  • Wi-Fi / App Control: Lets you download and share footage easily

All12 Volts offers dash cam accessories and installation gear to make setup easy and secure:

FAQs About Dash Cams

Are dash cams legal in Australia?

Yes. Dash cams are legal across Australia, provided they don’t obstruct the driver’s view and comply with local privacy laws. Always mount them behind the rear-view mirror where possible.

How long do dash cams record for?

Most dash cams record in a continuous loop, overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card fills up. With a large SD card (e.g. 128GB), you can expect around 8–12 hours of recording before overwrite.

Can dash cams record while parked?

Yes — models with parking mode and a hardwire kit can monitor your vehicle when it’s off, detecting motion or impacts automatically.

Do I need a dual dash cam for towing a caravan?

If you regularly tow, a front and rear dash cam provides complete coverage and can double as a reversing aid for safer manoeuvring.

What memory card do I need?

Use a high-endurance microSD card rated for continuous video recording — usually Class 10 or UHS-I, with at least 64GB capacity for best results.

Who does not love the outdoors and camping? It's a great adventure and opens up new destinations and often unexplored places. But you need to be well equipped with the safe and durable caravan and camping accessories for these outdoor activities. It is undoubtedly thrilling and exciting, but unless you take good care of what you need to do and what you should avoid, there's always a chance of an unpleasant experience. It pays to take sound advice from a 4WD specialist when going on a camping trip.
