This 4-Channel Dash Cam Catches the Accidents Your Regular Dash Cam Misses

You don’t need a dash cam for the day you drive perfectly. You need it for the day a stranger swipes your bumper in a parking lot, or a delivery van clips your mirror and keeps rolling. A 4-channel dash cam is the simple fix: more angles, fewer excuses.

Botslab’s G980HMC is a CES Innovation Awards honoree, and CES describes it as a consumer 3K 4-channel setup with 560° coverage and modular side cameras. That last part matters. Most dash cams catch what happens in front of you. The mess usually happens beside you. See the CES listing for the Botslab G980HMC 4-Channel Dash Cam.

Why 560° coverage changes the game

“Four cameras” is phone-screen simple. It also matches how accidents and scams work in real life. Side swipes. Door dings. Lane-change taps. Parking-lot hit-and-runs. Those are the moments where a single front camera leaves you with a blurry guess and a bad mood.

Botslab’s own product page for the related G980H kit shows the basic idea in plain English: front, rear, left, and right views in one setup, plus parking protection features. That’s the angle advantage you actually feel. When something happens, you don’t just see it. You see where it started. Check the current listing for the Botslab G980H 4-camera dash cam kit.

CES also flags a few practical details that tell you this isn’t just “more cameras.” It lists a supercapacitor design, infrared night vision, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a bundled 128GB card on the honoree page. Those aren’t party tricks. They’re the stuff that keeps footage usable when it’s dark, cold, or you’re trying to pull a clip fast after something goes wrong.

One more thing: multi-camera coverage is great, but it only helps if you mount it cleanly and route cables the right way. Do it once. Do it right. If you hate wiring, pay a shop and treat it like an upgrade, not a weekend punishment.

My Verdict

If you street-park, road-trip, or haul people and gear, a 4-channel dash cam is worth the jump. Front-only cameras feel “fine” until the damage comes from the side. Start with the CES-honored 560° idea, then buy the kit that fits your budget and your patience for wiring. If you’re shopping Botslab, look for a deal window, confirm what’s included in the box, and don’t cheap out on the memory card.
