Dash cams have quietly gone from optional gadget to must-have protection for Aussie drivers.
Whether it’s a fender-bender, a parking scrape, or a hit-and-run, having footage can save you thousands — and a whole lot of stress.
Nearly half of Australian drivers now believe dash cams should be mandatory, and for good reason. Clear video evidence turns “he said, she said” into proof. Yet only about a quarter of cars on the road actually have one.
At GL Pro Sound, our expert install team has spent the past year testing, fitting, and reviewing every major model for real Australian conditions — heat, vibration, glare, and long-distance drives.
Here’s our Top 10 Dash Cams in Australia for 2025, ranked for clarity, reliability, and value.
