Zenfox T3 3-Channel
Dash Cam

PROS


  • Excellent front and interior day captures.

  • Excellent front night captures.

  • Large display and buttons make for exceptionally
    easy use.
    CONS

  • Interior night captures are a bit dark.

  • Large size and interior camera placement could
    affect positioning.
    BOTTOM LINE
    The Zenfox T3 3CH offers three cameras’ worth of
    front, rear, and interior video. It does enough right
    overall that we recommend it for larger vehicles.
    However, its size and orientation make it hard to
    place correctly in smaller cars.
    $249


Though mounted high and behind the rearview mirror, the Zenfox T3’s infrared lit up the interior. Better
placement would get a better view. Note that this was from a replacement T3—the infrared didn’t
function on my original test unit. Make sure yours does.


FOR LARGER VEHICLES
The Zenfox T3 three-channel does a very
good job of capturing detailed, colorful
video. It’s actually my favorite dash cam in
terms of setup and use. The placement of
the interior camera might be an issue in
smaller cars. Take a good look at both the
T3 and your interior and decide if it’s
something you can work with. If you can work
with it, you’ll like using it.
The $200, two-channel version I
mentioned earlier will save you money and
makes more sense for vehicles with
obstructed rear vision. (Semis, closed vans,
and so on).
