Under $300
Dash cams under $300
Three front cameras sit under $300, and they are all worth owning. Front-and-rear kits start just above this budget, so if you want the rear covered too, it is worth knowing what the next step up costs before you decide.
Most detail under $300
4K from a front camera at this price — the sharpest option in the budget.
Genuine BlackVue
Full HD front with parking mode, and the fit-and-forget build BlackVue is known for.
Smallest and cheapest
2K in a body that hides behind the mirror. Our entry price, and still a proper camera.
If you can stretch
Nothing covers the rear of your car under $300. A little more buys a complete two-camera kit — the upgrade most people are glad they made.
Under $300 gets you a front camera worth having, not a compromise — all three here are Australian stock with local warranty and support. What it does not get you is rear coverage, and rear-end collisions are the ones dash cam owners most often wish they had recorded. If your budget can flex, look at the front-and-rear kits under $500 before you decide. If it cannot, take the A119M Pro for detail or the Mini 2 for discretion, and you will still be far better off than with nothing.
