It’s a smart idea that you’re considering a dash cam. They help prove what really happened in an accident, whether it’s for the police, your insurance, or just a wild story to tell your friends or post on your social media for views and likes.
No matter how much you plan to spend, you want a dash cam that comes with clear video capturing and other useful features like GPS, loop recording, parking mode, and a wide view of the road. That’s why more drivers now prefer dash cams built into car screens instead of the regular ones you stick to the windshield.
In this review, we’re checking out the CarTablet Pro Max™ (2025 Model). It is a smart screen with a 4K dash cam built in, and thousands of drivers are already loving it. Could it be what you’re looking for, too? Let’s find out.
What Makes A Great Dash Cam? 
To have absolute value for money you’re spending on your next dash cam, here are some key features to have in mind:
-
4K resolution: This means it records at 3840x2160 pixels (four times clearer than HD). This level of detail captures faces, license plates, and road signs sharply, even at a distance or high speed.
-
Wide-angle coverage: A 140°–170° field of view is ideal. It covers up to three lanes without distorting the image. Anything wider might create a fisheye effect, while narrower angles miss side activity.
-
Night vision: Look for large aperture sizes (f/1.8 or lower). These features allow the camera to balance light and dark spots. It improves low-light recording and handling glare from headlights or streetlamps.
-
Storage: This depends on video resolution and bitrate. 4K files are large, so go for a microSD card with at least 128GB, Class 10 or UHS-I for fast writing. Look for loop recording, which overwrites old footage unless it’s important.
-
Connectivity: Features like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth let you transfer videos directly to your phone. GPS adds location and speed data to recordings.
Using a built-in dash cam that comes with a dashboard screen can also offer you cloud storage or app access for instant sharing, which is great for insurance claims.
The CarTablet Pro Max's Built-in 4K Dashcam: Best Dash Cam 2025?
The CarTablet Dashcam comes built-in on the CarTablet Pro Max mountable dash screen. So instead of buying a standalone unit, you may want to consider this option for many smart reasons.
Dash Cam That’s Integrated With Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Screen
With most modern cars, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto has become a must-have.
These systems let you connect your phone to your car and use apps like Google Maps, Apple Music, Phone, Spotify, and many more on a screen without touching your phone while driving. Now, imagine having all that plus a high-quality dash cam built into the same screen. That’s exactly what the CarTablet Pro Max offers.
Instead of buying and setting up two different devices (a dash cam and a CarPlay screen), this unit does both in one. That means:
-
Less clutter on your dashboard
-
Fewer wires
-
Only one device to install, power, and control
4K Video for Peace of Mind
Many cheap models record in grainy 1080p or even lower. But the CarTablet Pro Max records in real 4K Ultra HD. That way, you get a sharper video that can capture license plates clearly, even from a distance.
Smart Loop Recording
When it comes to storage, it uses smart loop recording. Older footage is automatically deleted to make space for new clips, so you never have to worry about managing files manually. Plus, you can plug in an SD card for extra storage if needed.
User-friendly Interface
Even if you’re not tech-savvy, the CarTablet Pro Max is easy to use. The touchscreen interface feels just like a smartphone. The whole experience is built around convenience and safety, so you can focus on driving.
Installation is Truly Plug and Play
One of the biggest headaches with most dash cams (and even aftermarket CarPlay units) is the installation process.
You often need to tuck cables behind trim panels or route power cords to hidden outlets. On the bright side, this CarTablet device comes with an adjustable suction mount that sticks securely to your dashboard or windshield.
Once mounted, just plug it into your car’s 12V outlet (cigarette lighter port) and you're ready to go. The installation process is easy. The reversing camera is also super simple to connect. It includes all necessary cables with clear labeling.
WHAT ABOUT POSITIONING AND ADJUSTMENTS?
Because the screen and the dash cam are part of the same unit, once you've mounted the display where you can easily see it (usually center dash or windshield), the camera is already in the perfect position to record the road ahead.
No need to constantly adjust or reposition. It’s already aligned for wide-angle, front-facing footage in stunning 4K.
Rated 4.9/5 by 1,473 verified drivers
It’s not even surprising to see that more people are leaning towards built-in dash cams than standalone units. The reasons are apparent, many of which are value for money and convenience.
In the reviews, verified drivers praise the ease of use, crystal-clear video, and how much it’s improved their driving experience.
Price
The amount you spend on a dash cam depends on the specs. Some cheap options go for as low as $50, while some premium picks go for as high as $500. The entire carplay screen CarTablet Pro Max costs around $130. For that price, you’re getting:
-
A mountable touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
-
A 4K dash cam built in
-
Option to include a reversing camera
-
Aux Cable
-
Power Cable With USB Port
-
Suction Cup Holder
It’s great value for money, especially when you compare it with buying each unit separately, as you would when buying a standalone dash cam.
-
Let’s say you get a single 4K dash cam for €80–€120. You still need to spend $100–$150 on a quality CarPlay/Android Auto screen, $20–$50 on a reversing camera kit, and sometimes an extra $50–$100 on installation.
The Critical Safety Benefits of Modern Dash Cams
We were intentional in adding a 4K dashcam as a feature and upgrade from the previous version of the CarTable Pro. Here are some of the key benefits that reinforce that decision and why you should surely consider the investment:
1. Irrefutable Evidence in Accident Scenarios
When a car accident happens, the bottom line question is usually: "Who is at fault?" Without clear proof, it's often your word against the other driver’s. According to UK-based insurer AXA, using dash cam footage helped settle claims up to 60% faster.
If someone runs a red light and hits your car, the dash cam captures that moment clearly. If you're rear-ended, the footage shows that you didn’t reverse into the other car.
Why It Matters:
-
Police reports can be incomplete or biased.
-
Eyewitnesses might forget details or not tell the truth.
-
Dash cam footage is unbiased, accurate, and time-stamped.
Courts can admit dashcam footage as evidence if it meets specific legal requirements.
2. Protection Against Insurance Fraud & Disputed Claims
Insurance fraud is a serious problem worldwide. Some people stage accidents on purpose to collect insurance money. This dash cam will protect you from false claims.
You can share the footage with your insurance company or the police, helping them spot fraud faster. Insurance companies love this because it saves them from paying fake claims.
NOTE:
-
Almost no U.S. auto insurers offer a direct discount for installing a dash cam, but having one in your car could still have positive payoffs.
3. Faster & Fairer Claim Resolution (With Real Stats)
Claims involving car accidents can take weeks or months to resolve if there’s no clear proof. But with dash cam footage, the process becomes much faster and more accurate.
A study by the Insurance Research Council (USA) found that claims involving video evidence were 32% less likely to be denied.
Drive with confidence using the CarTablet Pro Max's built-in 4K dashcam. It continuously records your journey in high definition, providing an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
