How we ranked these picks

We rank dash cams by value for capturing usable evidence, not by the biggest resolution claim. We weigh whether plates stay readable at night, front and rear coverage, parking protection, and how easily you can get clips onto your phone, then use review depth to confirm reliability. Mirror, three-channel, 360°, and 4G picks are ranked by the job they solve.
