Compare the full detail on each brand: Matrix Vision, Cartrack dash cam price and Netstar dash cam price.

Netstar camera price: why there is no fixed figure

Netstar sells its dash cams and AI cameras mainly as an add-on to a tracking plan, so the price depends on the camera setup (road-only, road and cabin, or multi-camera), how the unit is wired in, and whether footage is uploaded over cellular data. Ask for the camera price and the combined monthly total on your quote. Our Netstar tracker and dash cam prices page lists the tracking plans it would be added to.

Road-facing vs driver-facing cameras

A road-facing camera records what happens in front of the vehicle and is the evidence you need after a crash. A driver-facing camera watches the cabin and, on AI models, warns about phone use, fatigue and distraction, which is why fleets, e-hailing drivers and parents of new drivers choose dual cameras. Most connected dashcams also record GPS position and speed with each clip, so you do not need a separate dashcam with GPS.
