A three-camera dash cam still leaves the road behind you uncovered, and that is where most rear-end hits and tailgating disputes happen. This four-channel system adds an external rear-window camera to the front road and dual cabin lenses, so every angle around the vehicle is recorded at once. A built-in 360 radar keeps watch while the vehicle is parked, and the included hardwire kit runs all four channels around the clock without flattening the battery.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Front, rear and cabin in one system - Four channels record the road ahead, the road behind and both cabin sides at the same time, so nothing around the vehicle goes unrecorded.
-
External rear-window camera included - The rear camera ships in the box and mounts to the rear window, covering tailgaters and rear-end hits that a front-only or three-camera unit never sees.
-
Radar that watches while parked - A built-in 360 radar wakes the system when something moves near the parked vehicle, with two sensitivity ranges up to about 1 and 1.5 metres.
-
Runs 24/7 off the fuse box - The included hardwire kit powers the camera from the fuse box, and a low-voltage cut-off (11.8V, 12.0V or 12.2V) stops it draining the battery flat.
-
4K front, or full four-channel - The front records 4K only in single-channel mode. Running all four channels, the front is 2K with the rear and both cabin lenses at 1080p each.
-
Clear at night, inside and out - Eight infrared LEDs light the cabin and WDR holds the front road in low light, so faces and number plates stay readable after dark.
-
Heat-safe super-capacitor power - No lithium battery to swell or fail in a hot parked car, so the unit handles an New Zealandn summer dashboard.
-
Wide 150 degree front lens - The F1.6 front lens covers 150 degrees of the road ahead, catching side-swipes a narrow lens cuts off.
-
Local live view and playback - A free smartphone app (iOS and Android) gives live view and playback over a short-range link beside the vehicle. Footage stays on the microSD card with no monthly fees.
Real-World Scenarios
Rear-End Collisions and Tailgating
Someone runs into the back of the vehicle, or tailgates for kilometres before a brake-check. The rear-window camera records the road behind in 1080p while the front channel holds the road ahead, so a rear-end claim has footage from both ends of the vehicle, not just the windscreen view.
Full-Perimeter Fleet and Delivery Coverage
Delivery and courier vehicles stop and start in traffic and tight loading zones all day. Four channels cover the front road, the rear, and the cabin from one unit, so a single camera per vehicle documents the whole job without a second device to wire in or maintain.
Reversing and Tight Car Parks
Low-speed knocks and door dings happen in car parks and loading bays. The rear camera shows what is behind on the screen as you reverse, and parked, the 360 radar wakes all four channels the moment a person or trolley moves in close.
How It Works
-
Mount - Fit the main unit to the windscreen and the rear camera to the rear window, then run the rear cable forward along the headlining.
-
Hardwire - Connect the included kit to a constant and a switched fuse, then set the cut-off voltage on the control box.
-
Record - All four channels run with the engine on. Parked, the 360 radar wakes them on movement, and the app plays footage back over the short-range link.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the dash cam record while the car is parked?
Yes. Hardwired to the fuse box, the system stays in parking mode with the engine off. The built-in 360 radar wakes all four cameras when something moves within about 1.5 metres, records a short clip, then returns to standby to save space and power.
2. Is the rear camera included?
Yes. The external rear-window camera and its cable are in the box as part of the four-channel kit. Many front-and-rear systems leave the rear camera as an add-on, so check what ships before you compare. Here every camera you need is included.
3. How is the rear camera installed?
The rear camera mounts on the inside of the rear window and runs a single cable forward to the main unit. Tuck the cable along the headlining and door pillars. Most owners have it fitted with the hardwire kit in one auto-electrician visit.
4. Does it still record in 4K with all cameras connected?
The front camera records 4K only in single-channel mode. With all four cameras running, the front drops to 2K and the rear and cabin record 1080p each. That is the trade for full coverage, and 2K still reads number plates clearly.
5. Are dash cams with interior cameras legal?
Yes. Dash cams, including ones with an interior camera, are legal to use in your own vehicle across New Zealand. If you record passengers or staff, notify them and follow your state surveillance-device and privacy rules. Requirements vary by state, so check locally.
Legal Disclaimer
Legal to fit and use in vehicles you own or operate. In a commercial, rideshare or fleet setting, passenger and staff notification and your state surveillance-device and privacy obligations apply. Audio and cabin recording consent rules vary by state. Confirm local requirements before deployment.
