A dashcam for a truck or van is an almost indispensable accessory for a driver. A dashcam makes driving a lot safer and more pleasant and also prevents a lot of damage to the truck. Reversing cameras come in different versions and with widely varying prices.

A truck dashcam or truck-mounted camera is a kind of variant of a reversing camera. A truck dashcam has the same functions with one or more cameras (including a reversing camera) in addition to the convenient functions of a dashcam. A truck dashcam is therefore the ideal to replace the truck reversing camera with.

Due to the large differences in price and quality, we have compiled a top 5 with best truck dashcams. In our opinion, these 5 truck reversing cameras are the best dashcam to run any truck or van. In addition to the reversing camera, these dashcams also record you on the road, so you have evidence in case of a collision or other incident.

The dashcams in this list are all reversing cameras that connect to the front dashcam with a cable and therefore work as a complete truck camera system. All cameras record simultaneously and the files are all stored on the SD card in the front dashcam. No special power supply is needed for the individual rear cameras, only the front dashcam or module needs to be powered.

Number three | 5 best truck dashcams and reversing cameras

3. MACH Truck 3800 2CH FullHD | €399,-

The functions of this dashcam are almost the same as the 5000 version and the image quality is also very good both during the day and at night.

Number four | 5 best truck dashcams and reversing cameras

4. Motocam X2V 3CH FullHD | €249,-.

A cheaper but not inferior dashcam for the truck is this Motocam X2V 3CH. This is - unlike the other reversing cameras in this list - a typical truck dashcam with smaller screen so it hardly stands out in the truck. On the relatively small 3.0-inch LCD screen, the cameras are still easy to see but the module is a lot more discreet than with larger truck dashcam.

The front camera films at FullHD and the separate rear cameras at VGA. This truck dashcam supports MicroSD cards up to 128gb that allow about 12 hours of video to be stored on the camera. The features are slightly less than other truck dashcams in this list, which is why it is also cheaper. For instance, there is no GPS and Wifi capability, nor is it possible to connect a larger monitor to it. The good value for money still earns it a fourth place in this list of truck dashcams.
