Our team tested over a dozen budget dash cams against the following criteria: Each dash cam under $100 was given a rating out of 5 stars based on these criteria. A team member tested each product on a car, taking note of how easy the dash cam was to install and set up, how high of quality video the dash cam captured, and how it was to use and interact with the dash cam. The five dash cams under $100 that best met these standards were ordered by our team for testing.
We started by searching Amazon for top products, looking at factors like Prime shipping eligibility, customer ratings, Amazon superlatives, and price. The dash cams in this article went through two rounds of reviews.
