  • The dash camera was designed to solve a key problem for modern drivers, especially rideshare operators, who need a single, reliable dash cam that captures every angle: front, rear and inside the vehicle cabin. Traditionally, this required multiple devices, cluttered setups and complicated footage management. The challenge was to integrate professional-grade video resolution, advanced imaging sensors, and smart safety alerts into a discreet, easy-to-use and install unit. Designed for Australian road and climate conditions, the 40R also had to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining long-term performance. Balancing a sleek, compact design, premium features and affordability was central to the brief.

  • Uniden’s product and engineering teams tackled the challenge by building a 3-in-1 smart dash cam system into a single compact unit. The Dash View 40R features a 4K front camera, Full HD rear camera, and Full HD cabin camera, all supported by Sony’s Starvis™ sensor for exceptional low-light performance. This was paired with smart features like Wi-Fi app control, voice guidance, and GPS-based safety alerts. A supercapacitor replaced traditional batteries to improve durability and longevity in harsh climates. Through iterative prototyping, local testing and user feedback, especially from rideshare drivers, Uniden refined the product for real-world ease and installation flexibility.

  • The Dash View 40R has redefined dash cam utility for everyday and rideshare drivers, improving on-road safety and peace of mind. By offering full 3-in-1 visibility, it empowers users to protect themselves, their passengers, and their vehicles with clear, high-quality evidence. Its built-in alerts encourage safer driving, while Wi-Fi transfer and app control make footage access seamless. The use of a supercapacitor and firmware upgradability reduce environmental impact by extending product life. Commercially, it’s helped Uniden expand into professional and gig-economy markets, boosting brand relevance. Overall, the 40R sets a new standard in smart, sustainable and accessible road safety tech.
