Behind the wheel all day, the inside of the cabin matters as much as the road in front. A passenger who changes their story, a fare who turns difficult, what gets left on the back seat: a forward-facing camera alone catches none of it. This cabin triple channel dash cam covers the driver and both passenger seats while it films the road, so the inside of the vehicle is on record from the moment you start the engine. A built-in 360 radar keeps watch once the car is parked, the hardwire kit in the box keeps every lens live around the clock, and the unit ships from New Zealand with local warranty and support.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Driver and passengers, not just the road - Three channels cover the front road plus both sides of the cabin, so the driver, the front seat and the back are all on one recording.
-
Built-in radar over the parked car - A 360 radar sensor trips the camera awake when someone moves in close, with a near setting (about 1 metre) and a wider one (about 1.5 metres) for tight ranks or open yards.
-
Save a clip at the vehicle - A free app (iOS and Android) links to the camera over a short range at the car, so you review and keep footage on your phone without pulling the card.
-
4K on the front lens - The front shoots 4K UHD on its own; with all three lenses running it shoots 2K, still sharp enough to make out a plate or a face.
-
Faces stay clear after dark - Eight infrared LEDs light the two cabin lenses, so a night shift or a late pickup stays visible inside without a glow anyone notices.
-
Powered 24/7 from the fuse box - The hardwire kit in the box draws from the fuse box, and a cut-off you set (11.8V, 12.0V or 12.2V) keeps parked recording from draining the battery flat.
-
Heat-safe super-capacitor - There is no lithium cell to swell in a hot cabin; a super-capacitor takes the New Zealandn summer that kills battery-based recorders.
-
Compact, screen above the lenses - The display sits above the lens cluster in a tidy housing, so the unit tucks behind the mirror and keeps the windscreen clear on a vehicle you drive all day.
-
Optional GPS speed and route - Add the external GPS module to print speed, position and route across the clips. The module is bought on its own.
Real-World Scenarios
Driver and Passengers on Every Trip
When the account of a trip is challenged later, memory is not evidence. Both cabin lenses sit on the driver and the passenger seats, so a recording shows exactly what happened inside, and the front lens holds the road and the signals at the same moment. The disagreement stops being one word against another.
Save the Footage Before the Next Job
Something happens on a shift and the next pickup is already waiting. Rather than pull the card, you open the free app at the car, find the clip and save it to your phone in a minute, then keep driving. The files sit on the memory card with no subscription.
A Compact Unit on a Working Windscreen
A vehicle you drive all day cannot spare a bulky box across the glass. The display sits above the lenses in a compact housing that tucks behind the mirror, so you keep a clear view of the road while three channels and the radar do their job.
How It Works
-
Fit and wire - Mount the unit behind the mirror and run the supplied lead to two fuse-box circuits, then dial the low-voltage cut-off to suit your battery.
-
Drive - The front lens and both cabin lenses roll together the moment you turn the key. With the engine off, the radar arms itself and trips on movement near the vehicle.
-
Pull a clip - Pair your phone to the camera at the car, scrub to the moment you need and download it, or lift the card for the full set of files.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does it record the cabin as well as the road?
Yes. Two of the three channels point into the cabin, covering the driver and both passenger seats, while the front channel records the road ahead. All three run together on the one card, so a single unit captures the trip inside and out, every shift.
2. Can it record inside the cabin at night?
Yes. Eight infrared LEDs sit around the two cabin lenses and light the inside of the vehicle in full dark, so faces stay clear without a visible glow. The front channel uses WDR to hold headlights and street lights without blowing out.
3. Will it really record in 4K?
On a single lens the front records 4K UHD. Switch on all three channels and the front records 2K while the cabin pair record 1080p each, the trade for filming three angles at once. 2K still reads a plate in front of you.
4. How do I get the footage off it?
Open the free app (iOS and Android) over the short-range link at the vehicle to play back and save clips to your phone, or take the microSD card to a computer. There is no remote or cloud viewing, and no monthly fee.
5. Is it legal to film passengers in New Zealand?
Filming inside a vehicle you own or operate is generally allowed, but recording audio in the cabin falls under state surveillance and listening-device laws that vary across New Zealand. A visible recording notice is sensible for rideshare and taxi work. Check the rules in your state before you record.
Legal Disclaimer
Legal to fit and use in vehicles you own or operate. In a commercial or rideshare setting, passenger notification and your state surveillance-device and privacy obligations apply. Audio and cabin recording consent rules vary by state. Confirm local requirements before deployment.
