Reader question – ‘Can you help me pick a dashcam?’

Uber and Lyft have become overwhelmingly popular in America to make extra cash. Drivers can sign up in minutes, fill in their information and be up and running as an employee in just a few days.

But using your car to earn income comes with liability issues. What if you get into an accident or one of your riders becomes combative? Even if you don’t drive for a living, proving fault in a crash can be difficult. To avoid he said she said, you’ll need to protect yourself.

The best way is with a dual camera that covers the outside and inside of your car. So if something happens, you have proof of the real story. Here are three of the best dual-camera dash cams available.

1. Quality at cost

Vantrue N2 Pro Uber Dual 1080P Dash Cam

You get what you pay for, and this camera, while a bit more expensive, gives you quality and control. It's a dual-lens 1080p camera and comes with infrared night vision, so even if something goes wrong after dark, you can be sure the video will be clear. It's also motion-activated 24 hours a day, so you don't have to worry about turning it on. Worried about storage? It can support up to a 256MB SD card, offering you plenty of storage before you have to replace it. The best part? It's user-friendly.

Promising review: "Dashcam was very easy to setup. The user manual is very detailed with good graphics to guide you through the setup. I think the best part of the camera is the fact that with just one module, you can record the front and interior and don't need to run a camera/cabling to the back."
