Top 4 Dash Cameras in Canada: Essential Picks for 2026

The 622GW handles headlight flare very well.

The 622GW’s long lens body no doubt contributes to the camera’s spectacular captures.

Easy to set up

Excellent 4K video quality

SOS feature could be life-saving

Smart magnetic windscreen mount

As you’d expect from its premium price, the 622GW is bursting with top-tier features.

Another key feature is the 622’s adjustable polarizing filter, which minimizes reflections for extra clarity — a handy tool that not enough dash cams provide, in my opinion.

Simple incident recording and storage

With the Nextbase 622GW featuring a built-in polarizing filter, image stabilization, 4K video resolution and excellent Night Vision mode, the resulting footage is of excellent quality, making it extremely easy to pick out number plate and vehicle details in all conditions.

For a start, the 622GW features a new Ambarella H22 quad-core chipset, which lets you capture pin-sharp 4K footage at 30fps.

When recording in normal, well-lit situations, the resulting 4K clips are up there with basic GoPro offerings, and it’s extremely easy to slow playback down to 120fps via a Super Slow Motion setting.

There’s also an option to add a rear camera module that films at 1080p/30fps, but this is sold separately. On a positive note, this doesn’t require an irritatingly long wire dangling from the rear window because it neatly plugs into the side of the 622GW.

Straightforward setup with minimal learning curve

Cables can be neatly tucked along trim and headliners for a clean, distraction-free installation.

140° wide angle front lens captures full lane coverage without edge distortion.

A low-profile adhesive mount and wide camera coverage ensure consistent visibility without obstructing the driver’s view or needing frequent adjustment.

Nextbase 622 — Gw’s image quality is crisp and clear, even at night. With a 4K sensor that shoots at 30fps, you’re able to pull high-quality images of incidents with clarity.

The 622GW records at 4K-30fps resolution. This puts it on par with devices like GoPro and DJI. 4K equals roughly 8.2 million pixels per frame, giving you crisp and clear video consistently.

The 622GW has a 140 ̊ field of view. Placed on the dash or windshield, its field of view will cover most of the surrounding area in front of the car.

The 622GW dash cam shoots in 4K @ 30fps, 1440 @ 60fps, 1080 HD @ 120fps.

Reasons to buy the Nextbase 622GW dash cam are for added safety, crystal clear footage and simplicity and functionality. With What3Words integrated, it can pinpoint your exact location, making it easier for emergency services to find you.

Buyers enjoyed its overall design the most. In several reviews, buyers talked up the smooth image quality and the convenience, and it’s the only dash cam to use What3Words and Alexa.

Set videos to record automatically with impact detection via voice control or by simply pressing the record button on the back of the device. It’s convenient and makes recording easy.

With 4K footage and the ability to playback recordings in 120fps slow motion, you’ll never miss a hit-and-run situation, and insurance companies will have all the evidence they need to process your claim.

It’s small and discreet

Super-easy to set up

Monitors the car when parked

But let’s not get too negative here, because the Garmin 67W is still a very good dash cam, packing in all of the high-end features we enjoyed in the 66W.

Thankfully, the tech giant’s expertise in this field has carried over to its Garmin Drive app, which, while not quite as slick and all-encompassing as its lifestyle-focused Connect software, is still a long way ahead of some of its clunky dash cam rivals.

New automatic cloud storage

We’ve been very impressed with the footage produced by the Dash Cam 67W. The resolution is slightly higher than Full HD, at 1440p, and there’s HDR (which the company calls Garmin Clarity) for retaining detail in the brightest and darkest portions of the video.

The windscreen mount is tiny, consisting of a coin-sized magnet that sticks to the screen with adhesive, then snaps magnetically to a small arm that attaches to the camera with an adjustable ball-and-socket joint.

180-degree field of view — the widest of any popular dashcam, captures entire lane and adjacent lanes

Voice control ("OK Garmin, save video") — no fumbling with buttons while driving

Automatic incident detection saves footage on impact

Clean, compact design that doesn't obstruct visibility

Garmin Drive app is polished and easy to use

Reliable memory card management with loop recording

GPS tagging on all footage

Installation appears to be one of the easier parts of ownership. Many customers describe setup as straightforward, and the small body is a plus for drivers who care about keeping the windshield area neat.

The 180-degree field of view is another practical advantage, though it comes with the usual tradeoff that extra-wide lenses can sometimes make objects appear farther away than they are.

Voice control adds convenience, especially for solo drivers who do not want to reach toward the windshield while driving. Spoken commands can save video, control audio recording, and trigger other functions.

Garmin also includes automatic incident recording with GPS location, date, and time stamps. That is standard for a serious dash cam, but it is still important. When I evaluate value in this category, I look for features that help after an accident, not just during the drive.

Video resolution is another strong point. The camera records in 1440p HD and uses Garmin Clarity HDR optics. In practical terms, that should help balance bright daylight, shadows, headlight glare, and difficult nighttime scenes better than lower-end 1080p-only units.

The Garmin Dash Cam 67W is built around a compact body and an extra-wide 180-degree lens. That lens is a major selling point. In city traffic, parking lots, and busy intersections, a wider view can capture more of what is happening around the front corners of the vehicle.

The whole unit attaches to a mounting plate that then sticks to the windscreen with an adhesive pad. A magnet helps guide the unit into place and it locks into position with a reassuring clunk.

All of this is further evidence that the Viofo’s design has really been thought about.

We were very impressed with the quality of video recorded by all three cameras. The front-facing 4K camera produces bright, sharp and accurate video that is smooth and makes crucial details like street signs and number plate highly legible, while the other two are also excellent.

The biggest feature here is of course the interior-facing camera. It records at Full HD, also known as 1080p or 1920 x 1080, and has a wide, 170-degree lens.

Another key feature is how the front-facing camera records in 4K and uses a Sony Starvis 2 imaging sensor for improved nighttime footage.

We’d also like to highlight the 170-degree rear camera, which is one of the widest we’ve seen to date.

There’s a clear sense that someone has really thought about the design of this dash cam, especially the main unit. It isn’t a particularly sexy piece of hardware – show us a dash cam that is – but it’s reasonably compact, considering its capabilities.

It also has a set of clearly labeled and easy-to-press physical buttons for key functions like manual recording and muting the microphone, a set of equally legible status lights, and a camera that rotates through more than 180 degrees.

The Viofo A139 Pro 2CH dash cam excels in low-light conditions, thanks to its Sony Starvis image sensors and F1.6 large aperture.

With its advanced parking mode, the A139 Pro offers 24-hour surveillance, protecting your vehicle even when it’s parked. The device uses a built-in G-sensor to detect impacts or movement, automatically recording any events that may occur while you’re away from your vehicle.

The A139 Pro 2CH dash cam comes with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, allowing you to connect the device to your smartphone using the Viofo app. This enables you to control the camera settings, download recorded footage, and track your vehicle’s location and speed in real-time.

The Viofo A139 Pro offers numerous customizable options, such as adjustable video quality, exposure settings, and loop recording intervals. The user-friendly interface and detailed user manual make it easy to navigate the menu and configure the device to your preferences.

During our hands-on testing of the Viofo A139 Pro 2CH dash cam, we found the video quality to be exceptional, with crisp and detailed footage in various lighting conditions.

The advanced parking mode proved to be a valuable asset, ensuring that our vehicle was protected while parked. The seamless connectivity and user-friendly interface made it simple to access and download footage when needed, and the customizable options allowed us to...

Upon unboxing the Viofo A139 Pro 2CH dash cam, we were immediately impressed by the sleek design and build quality. The package includes the main camera unit, a secondary rear camera, a GPS mount, cables, and a user manual.

The most important thing to know is that you can use the Video Protection / Emergency Button to lock the currently recording video. This is crucial if you're driving and you want to make sure you save the current footage as locked to ensure that loop recording doesn’t delete it.

The A139 Pro is not only a flagship 4K dash cam, but it is also the first VIOFO model to include a CPL filter. Unlike all previous VIOFO units, there is no need to purchase it separately.

The A139 Pro’s coaxial cable with mini connectors is smaller than the thick USB cables used by the other VIOFO models, which makes installation more user-friendly. Sized at 2.8mm, the A139 Pro is smaller than VIOFO A129 Pro’s 5mm.

Say goodbye to annoying beeping sounds, and listen to a clear, concise voice instead! Available in multiple languages, this feature allows you to remain focused on the road while being in the know of your drive.

And this is what they built in the all-new A139 Pro. In addition to having a larger image size with a type of 1/1.8", the 4K A139 Pro series now has much less noise and motion blur during day and night recording, making license capturing more seamless than before.

This feature, which records incidents inside the cabin in detail even in complete darkness, is extremely useful for commercial and Uber drivers to avoid unnecessary disputes.

If you like to record your trips or include travel videos in your vlogs, you can easily switch the front lens to the cabin with this. Karaoke in the car? The A139 Pro is an absolute must-have!
