I’m always telling car owners that they need to install one of the best dash cams in their car. And with Black Friday sales rolling out, now is the perfect time to pick one up at a discount.

Plus, odds are spending a little bit of money now will save you from any incidents where it’s your word against theirs — which would otherwise see your insurance premiums skyrocket. Suddenly $100 on a dash cam that’ll last you for years isn’t such a bad idea. The good news is that dash cams are easy to install yourself, and a lot of them are pretty inexpensive.

But, like many things, the more expensive models have a lot more to offer. Thankfully, Black Friday sales are seeing a bunch of those cameras get generous price cuts. For example, right now the Nextbase iQ 4K, is $200 off at Best Buy. You can also pick up the Nextbase Piqo 2K for $99 at Best Buy, while the super-compact Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 has the same $99 price at Amazon — plus some safety features unique to Garmin cameras.

Here are our picks for the best Black Friday dash cam deals available right now.
