4K Front & Rear Dash Cameras in Australia

Yes, in every state and territory. The only real rule is that the camera can't obstruct your view of the road — which in practice means mounting it behind the rear-view mirror, not in the middle of the windscreen. Audio recording is where it gets murkier, and the rules vary by state. Here are the state-by-state rules.

Only if it's set up for it. Parking mode keeps the camera watching while you're parked — catching trolley dings, door knocks and hit-and-runs in the car park. It needs a permanent power source, so you'll want either a hardwire kit or a dedicated battery pack. Plugged into the cigarette lighter, it stops when the car does.

Front-only covers you for most of what you'll see. But the single most common claim in Australia is being rear-ended — and a front camera is pointing the wrong way for it. Front and rear (2-channel) is what most drivers land on for that reason. Add an interior camera if you drive rideshare.

Honestly? Three things. Cheap ones die in Australian summer heat — supercapacitor models handle it, battery ones often don't. Parking mode will flatten your car battery if it's wired without a voltage cutoff. And the footage cuts both ways: if you were in the wrong, it records that too. None of these are dealbreakers, but nobody mentions them before you buy.

128GB suits most people — roughly 8–10 hours of 4K before it loops over the oldest footage. Go 256GB if you're running three channels or want parking mode recording for days at a time. The size matters less than the card: use a high-endurance card built for constant rewriting, or it'll fail inside a year.

Yes — we run a national network of independent installers, so you're not limited to one city. Pick your gear, find a pro near you on the map, and book with them directly. If you'd rather do it yourself, our install guides walk through hardwiring, fuse taps and mounting.
