What Is the Best Dash Cam for the Chery Tiggo 8? (Super Hybrid and Pro Max)
You have just picked up your Chery Tiggo 8, or you are weighing one up, and a sensible question lands: what is the best dash cam for the Chery Tiggo 8, and will it be safe for the battery, especially on the Super Hybrid? It is exactly the right thing to ask before anyone wires anything into your new car. Let us make it simple and tell you what we would spec, whether you are in the standard Tiggo 8, the Super Hybrid, or the Pro Max.
Does the Chery Tiggo 8 need a dash cam?
The Tiggo 8 is a lot of car for the money, and that is exactly why it is worth protecting. A dash cam gives you proof, the clear footage that settles who did what when something goes wrong. Proof of the driver who cut across you, proof of the shopping trolley that rolled into your bumper, and proof if someone clips your Tiggo in a car park and drives off without a note.
Whether you drive the petrol Tiggo 8 Pro Max or the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, the case is the same. You have invested in a quality SUV, so a camera that quietly records every trip is cheap insurance for your peace of mind on Australian roads.
Our top pick: the VIOFO A329S
For the Chery Tiggo 8, our recommendation is the VIOFO A329S. It is a discreet, high-quality dash cam that tucks neatly to the passenger side of the mirror, so it protects your car without changing the clean look of the Tiggo 8 cabin. You can see it in our VIOFO range.
The reason it is our pick for this car comes down to one feature: its Low Power Parking Mode. Parking mode is when the camera keeps watch over your car while it is parked and switched off. The catch with most cameras is that standing guard can slowly drain your battery. The A329S is built to draw as little power as possible while parked (we tested it here, and it drew a measly 0.03A!), so it keeps an eye on things without running your battery flat.
Paired with the VIOFO HK6 hardwire kit, the kit that powers the camera straight from your car instead of a cigarette socket, that Low Power Parking Mode is even most efficient. The HK6 also watches your battery voltage and shuts the camera off before the battery drops too low, which is exactly the safety net you want.
Pro Tip: On the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, parking features run off the 12V accessory battery, the smaller battery that handles the electronics, not the main hybrid battery. A true low-power mode like the A329S, hard-wired through the HK6, is the safe way to get round-the-clock protection without stressing that 12V battery. We always recommend a professional install so it is done cleanly and safely.

Will a dash cam drain the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid battery?
This is the worry we hear most from hybrid owners, and it is a fair one. Any camera left recording around the clock will use power, so the answer is to choose a setup that sips rather than gulps. That is the whole point of the A329S Low Power Parking Mode and the voltage cut-off in the HK6 kit. Together they keep your Tiggo 8 protected while looking after your battery.

Honourable mention: the WOLFBOX G900 Pro
If you would rather a mirror-style camera, the WOLFBOX G900 Pro is a strong alternative for the Tiggo 8. It replaces your rear-view mirror with a sharp screen and gives a wide, clear view of the road behind, which many drivers love. It also has its own impact-based parking mode that keeps power draw low, just not as robust as the VIOFO offering. Have a look at the WOLFBOX range if a bigger rear view appeals to you.
Which is right for your Tiggo 8?
If you want a discreet camera that stays out of sight and is gentle on your battery, go for the VIOFO A329S with the HK6 kit. If you want the upgraded rear vision of a mirror cam, the WOLFBOX G900 Pro is a cracking choice. Both suit the Tiggo 8, the Super Hybrid, and the Pro Max, and both are genuine Australian stock with local support behind them. If you also run a Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, we have a guide for that one too.
Want it fitted properly?
No worries. We do not install cameras ourselves, but this is the sort of job worth getting right. Tell Michael or Harrison whether you are in the Tiggo 8, the Super Hybrid, or the Pro Max, and we will match you to the right dash cam and point you to an independent installer who can do a clean, safe job. Reach out through our contact page and we will get you protected.
