A single-channel dash cam records video from only one perspective—typically the front of the vehicle. It’s a straightforward solution for capturing what’s ahead, ideal for basic driving and insurance needs.

In contrast, a front and rear dash cam is a dual-camera system that records video footage from both the front and rear of your vehicle.

• The front camera is typically mounted on the windshield to capture everything happening ahead.
• The rear camera is usually installed near the rear license plate to monitor what’s happening behind the vehicle.

This dual setup provides complete driving coverage, which is especially valuable in Canada’s diverse conditions—snowy highways, rainy city streets, icy rural roads, or crowded urban intersections. It records crucial evidence for accidents, collisions, parking incidents, theft, or road disputes. By reducing blind spots and capturing both perspectives, a front-and-rear dash cam enhances safety, insurance protection, and peace of mind for every driver.

• Full coverage: Capture accidents or incidents from all angles
• Parking protection: Monitor your car’s surroundings when parked
• Dispute evidence: Clear footage helps with insurance claims or legal issues
• Safer driving: Rear camera assists with reversing and lane changes

• Family car owners wanting extra protection
• Drivers in busy or high-risk areas
• Anyone concerned about parking damage or hit-and-run incidents
• Ride-share and taxi drivers

If you want full driving protection, then yes — a front and rear dash cam is highly recommended. Here's why:

• Covers both front and back accidents – crucial for rear-end collisions
• Helps with insurance claims – clear, unbiased video evidence
• Protects against hit-and-run or parking incidents
• Useful for Uber, rideshare, or delivery drivers
• Peace of mind – you're protected 24/7, even when parked (with parking mode)

Whether you’re a daily commuter, rideshare driver, or road tripper, a dual dash cam is a smart investment.

Absolutely. A dual dash cam setup offers double protection and far better coverage than a front-only system. It’s especially worth it if:

• You drive frequently or professionally
• You’ve ever experienced a rear-end accident
• You want better protection while parked
• You want to lower your insurance risk (some insurers may even offer discounts)

For just a small investment, you get legal protection, peace of mind, and possibly insurance savings — making it well worth the cost.

A front and rear (dual-channel) dash cam system uses two cameras—one facing forward, one rearward—that work together to record your entire driving environment.

This setup gives you a full picture of what happens both in front of and behind your vehicle, whether you're driving, parked, or involved in an unexpected incident. Here's how it works:

• Continuous recording – both cameras capture high-definition footage to a memory card.
• Loop recording – when storage is full, the oldest footage is overwritten automatically.
• G-sensor – detects sudden impacts and locks the footage so it won’t be deleted.
• Parking mode (optional) – records while your car is parked if motion or impact is detected.
• Dual-channel system – the rear camera connects to the main (front) camera via a cable.

Power is typically supplied via the car’s cigarette lighter socket or hardwiring kit.

Installing your front and rear dash cam is easier than you might think. Just follow these simplified steps to get started. Most users can complete the setup with basic tools—no professional help required.
