What a 3 channel dash cam installation in Perth includes
Front camera
positioned so your view of the road stays clear.
Cabin camera
angled to cover the front and back seats, checked for glare from windows.
Rear camera
an inside-facing third lens or a separate camera on the back glass, depending on your model.
Hidden wiring
routed through the headliner and trim, clear of curtain airbags.
Power
plug-in, or hardwired with a low voltage cutoff if you want parking mode.
Handover test
front, cabin and rear recording, date and time, GPS, audio setting and event locking.
Brands fitted
3 channel units from Thinkware, VIOFO, BlackVue, Vantrue and Redtiger, among others. Purchase your own or have one supplied with the install.
Three recording zones plus privacy, set up for rideshare
A 3 channel system is three separate recording zones, not one camera with a bigger number on the box. Installing it well takes more experience than a single front unit. Each zone needs its own angle check. The fourth decision is privacy: audio, signage and who sees the footage.
This setup is about more than resolution. A 4K front camera means little if the cabin lens faces the roof lining or the rear view is blocked by a headrest. Each zone is set by an expert installer so it captures what you are likely to need.
Is a 3 channel dash cam right for your car?
A 3 channel dash cam suits you if you:
- Drive for Uber or DiDi and want a record of passenger disputes
- Carry tools or stock and want interior footage of a break-in
- Want road, cabin and rear coverage from one recorder
| Front and rear dashcam (2CH) | 3 channel | |
|---|---|---|
| Road ahead | Yes | Yes |
| Traffic behind | Yes | Yes |
| Inside the cabin | No | Yes, usually infrared |
| Passenger notice needed if people are recorded | Not usually | Yes, for rideshare in WA |
| Install complexity | Moderate | Higher |
If you never carry passengers, front and rear dash cam installation is usually enough.
WA recording rules for Perth rideshare cameras
Cameras are optional for rideshare
Transport WA makes camera surveillance units mandatory for taxis, not for on-demand charter vehicles such as rideshare cars.
Signage if you record people
WA requires a clearly visible notice inside at the front when a camera records passengers.
Audio is a separate question
WA's Surveillance Devices Act 1998 restricts recording private conversations. A sign is not blanket consent, so leaving audio off is the simpler option.
Platform rules
Uber allows dashcams in Australia, subject to local laws, but warns drivers against sharing footage publicly.
This is general information, not legal advice.

Questions to ask any 3 channel installer

- Will the cabin view reach the back seat at night?
- Where will the rear cable run on my hatch, sedan or SUV?
- How will audio be set, and can I switch it off myself?

FAQ
Do Perth Uber drivers need a cabin camera?
No. WA's mandatory camera rule applies to taxis, not rideshare cars, though many drivers still fit a cabin camera to record passenger disputes and false complaints. Once it records people inside, you need a clearly visible recording notice at the front of the car.
Does a 3 channel dash cam record the cabin at night?
Most cabin cameras use infrared, which lights the interior in a way passengers cannot see. Footage usually comes out black and white. Results still depend on angle, distance and window reflections, so the cabin view is checked during the handover test, not just assumed.
Can a 3 channel dash cam record audio legally in WA?
It depends on the situation. WA's Surveillance Devices Act 1998 restricts recording private conversations, and a notice in the car is not the same as consent. Some drivers choose to leave audio off, so check the law and your platform's rules before you decide.
Can the installer come to me between rideshare shifts?
Yes. The service is mobile, so the car is fitted at your home, a depot or a quiet car park, at a time that suits your shifts. Mention your usual hours in the form and the booking is set around them rather than around a workshop.
Is hardwiring necessary for a 3 channel dash cam?
Only if you want parking mode. For driving-only recording, a plug-in power cable works on most cars without touching the fuse box. Recording while parked relies on a professional hardwire setup that shuts the camera down before the battery gets too flat to start.
Can a 3 channel dash cam go into a European or luxury car?
Yes. The difference is access: tighter trim, more sensors around the mirror and fuse boxes that need more care. Those cars take longer and the quote says so up front. Mention the make and model in the form and the installer plans the cable routes before arriving.
How much footage fits on a 128GB card?
It depends on the camera's bitrate and resolution, and three channels use storage much faster than one. Loop recording overwrites the oldest files while event-locked clips stay protected. Check your model's specification and save key footage to your phone soon after an incident.
