A caravan and motorhome dash cam is a specialised type of camera designed for use in recreational vehicles (RVs) like caravans and motorhomes. It records the road ahead (and sometimes the interior or rear) while driving, providing video evidence of your journeys and any incidents that may occur.

Installing a dash cam in your caravan or motorhome can help capture scenic drives, provide evidence in the event of an accident, deter theft when parked, and potentially assist with insurance claims. It's a valuable tool for enhancing safety and security on your travels.

Important features include high-resolution video for clear footage, wide-angle lenses to capture a broader view, night vision for low-light conditions, and a built-in GPS to log your location and speed. Look for models with loop recording, G-sensors for impact detection, and parking mode for monitoring your vehicle when stationary.

Most dash cams can be powered via the vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket. For a more permanent setup, consider hardwiring the dash cam to the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring it's operational even when the ignition is off, especially useful with parking mode features.

Yes, many dash cams come with a parking mode feature that uses motion and impact sensors to start recording if activity or an impact is detected around the vehicle while it's parked, providing added security.
