BOTSLAB 4K Dash Cam Front and Rear with STARVIS, ADAS, GPS and WiFi (170° front / 150° rear)
Product description
If you want a dash cam that covers both the road ahead and what’s behind, BOTSLAB’s front-and-rear model aims to keep details readable in more than just daylight. It’s built around a STARVIS sensor, includes night vision support, and adds ADAS reminders, plus built-in GPS and WiFi for faster video downloads.
That said, there are a few practical limits to keep in mind. The “true 24/7 parking” promise depends on using a compatible hardwire kit, and the best results usually come when the camera is installed well and set up properly. If you’re after a simple, plug-and-go recording device only, this may be more feature-rich than you strictly need.
What it is and what problem it solves
This is a dual dash cam for cars: it records in front at 4K and in the rear at 2K, so you’re not left guessing what happened when the view behind matters. The wider field of view (170° front and 150° rear) is there to help reduce blind spots, which is especially useful for junctions, parking manoeuvres, and everyday traffic.
Where it becomes more than a “nice-to-have” is when something goes wrong. A built-in G-sensor can trigger emergency recording when a collision is detected. Over time, that can be the difference between having usable footage and having nothing clear enough to help.
Key takeaways (what you’ll notice day to day)
On paper, the biggest selling points are the STARVIS sensor, the multi-layer lens approach, and the attempt to hold up at night. The dash cam includes a “Super Night Vision” function and mentions a large aperture (F1.5) plus a 6-layer optical lens design intended to improve exposure when light levels are low. In real-world terms, that generally means you should have a better chance of capturing recognizable road details like road signs and number plates—though results will still depend on your installation, weather, and the lighting around your car.
Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
It’s easy to see why this model fits people who want both coverage and assistance features. ADAS provides reminders for several safety situations, including: - vehicle ahead starting alerts - reminders if vehicles are too close - lane deviation reminders - pedestrian passing reminders
It also includes a fatigue reminder that prompts a rest every 2 hours.
The honest limitation is that these are reminders, not an automatic safety system. So if you’re expecting hands-free intervention or driving automation, it won’t deliver that. Also, the claim about plate readability at a distance of 15 metres is stated for a static state, so it’s worth viewing that as a best-case reference rather than something you’ll always get when driving.
The essentials: design, recording, and connectivity
This BOTSLAB dash cam is paired with built-in GPS, recording real-time speed, current location, and driving route. It also includes WiFi support designed to speed up the download process to your phone.
Two things matter when you’re deciding whether this will suit your routine: (1) you’ll actually use the WiFi/app to view and share footage, and (2) you’ll want location data alongside the video for context.
A practical micro-use case: imagine you need to send footage to your insurer. With WiFi and the [Botslab] app, you can view and download the relevant clip to your mobile phone without having to pull the memory card immediately.

Care & setup notes you should not skip
The 24/7 parking monitoring feature is mentioned as working when paired with a dedicated hardwire kit. If you don’t plan to install that hardwire kit, you may get recording while driving, but you shouldn’t assume the parking mode will behave the same way.
Also, the night vision and number plate clarity are strongly affected by where and how you mount the camera, the road lighting, and weather. Before you commit, it’s worth checking that you’re comfortable doing (or paying for) a proper installation if you want the most out of wide angles and night performance.
What’s included
The provided information doesn’t list all bundle items. It does reference that the 24/7 parking monitoring requires the hardwire kit sold separately under the dedicated hardwire kit model.
Final verdict
It’s a strong choice if you want front-and-rear coverage with STARVIS-led night vision, ADAS reminders, and built-in GPS/WiFi for convenience—especially if you’re the sort of driver who values clearer evidence (including road signs and number plates) when lighting isn’t ideal.
You may want to skip it if you’re after a very basic camera setup, or if you don’t want to bother with the dedicated hardwire kit for parking monitoring. And if you expect ADAS to actively prevent hazards rather than simply remind you, you’ll likely feel disappointed.
Worth considering if: you drive regularly in mixed conditions, want broader coverage to reduce blind spots, and plan to use the app for viewing or sharing clips.
Not the best match if: you mainly want minimal hassle and don’t care about rear recording, location data, or parking monitoring.
