Can I use the rear camera to record inside the cabin?Updated 14 days ago

Rear-facing cameras lack the infrared night vision that is needed to provide quality in-cabin recording. If you drive with the interior lights off or park in a pitch black area like a closed garage with no lighting, the rear-facing dash cam will pick up next to nothing inside your cabin.

Rear-facing dash cams with HDR or Super Night Vision still require a minimal level of light in the environment, whether it’s lights from oncoming headlights or the dim streetlight.

We all know how dark it can get inside a car when driving at night, and considering you usually won’t want to have your cabin lights on when driving, you need some sort of light to illuminate the car’s interior if you want to have decent footage. Infrared LEDs can illuminate the car’s interior without bothering anyone because infrared light can’t be seen with the naked eye.
