Driver safety took center stage at CES 2026 as Botslab unveiled its powerhouse G980H dashcam. This compact device eliminates blind spots completely with a stunning four camera setup that covers every angle of your vehicle. It promises to capture every crucial second of your drive in crystal clear 4K resolution regardless of the lighting conditions or weather.
Total Vehicle Surveillance Coverage
The days of relying on a single front facing camera are officially over. The Botslab G980H introduces a comprehensive 4-channel system that acts as a black box for your entire car. Most drivers worry about rear end collisions or side swipes that happen in blind spots. This device solves that problem by recording the front, rear, left, and right sides simultaneously.
You get a massive 170 degree field of view from the front lens. The rear camera covers 150 degrees to catch tailgaters. The two side cameras record at a 120 degree angle. This setup creates a near 360 degree shield around your vehicle.
Why this matters for drivers:
- Front View (170°): Captures traffic lights, signs, and vehicles across multiple lanes.
- Rear View (150°): crucial for proving fault in rear end accidents.
- Side Views (120°): Perfect for documenting side swipes or parking lot door dings.
The side cameras feature a unique magnetic mount design. This allows for quick adjustments or removal if needed. It gives users flexibility that rigid fixed cameras simply cannot match. You can position them exactly where you need the most coverage based on your vehicle size.

Night Vision and Video Clarity
Recording a video is useless if you cannot read a license plate. Botslab addresses this with true 4K resolution capabilities. The footage remains sharp enough to zoom in on distant details without the image becoming pixelated or blurry.
Low light performance is often the Achilles heel of dashcams. The G980H utilizes a wide f/1.8 aperture. This lets in significantly more light than standard sensors found in budget models.
“The difference between 1080p and 4K at night is the difference between guessing a license plate number and knowing it for a fact.”
The system also employs infrared LED technology. This ensures that even on pitch black country roads or in unlit parking garages, the camera still sees what is happening. The clarity helps insurance companies and police officers determine exactly what happened during an incident.
Intelligent Parking and Protection
The G980H does not stop working when you turn off the engine. It offers a robust suite of parking surveillance tools that require a hardwire kit. These features turn the camera into a 24/7 security guard for your car.
Sentry Mode is a standout feature for city dwellers. The front camera uses intelligent detection to spot movement within 5 meters of the car. If someone loiters too close, it automatically records a 1 minute emergency video.
Collision Detection provides a different layer of security. If another car bumps yours while you are shopping or sleeping, the impact sensor triggers. The system locks a 1 minute video file immediately. This file cannot be overwritten by loop recording. It preserves the evidence you need to file a claim.
Time Lapse Recording is the third option. It captures footage at one frame per second. This allows you to record a full night of parking surveillance without filling up your memory card instantly.
| Feature | Function | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Sentry Mode | Records on movement | Deterring vandals or thieves |
| Collision Detection | Records on impact | Hit and run incidents |
| Time Lapse | 1 FPS continuous | Long term parking monitoring |
Connectivity and Durability Features
Speed is critical when you need to download footage for the police. The G980H includes a built in 5.8GHz Wi-Fi chip. This is a significant upgrade over the older 2.4GHz standard used by many competitors.
Transfer speeds are roughly 300% faster. You can download heavy 4K video files to your smartphone in seconds rather than minutes. This allows for immediate sharing with authorities or insurance agents right from the scene of an accident.
GPS Tracking Data
- Records precise vehicle speed.
- Logs exact location coordinates.
- Maps the full travel route.
You can view all this data using the DVplayer software on a PC. It can even generate dynamic route animations. This is helpful for fleet managers or parents who want to review driving habits.
The hardware is built to last in harsh environments. Botslab utilized a super capacitor instead of a traditional lithium ion battery. Batteries can swell or explode in high heat.
A super capacitor handles extreme temperatures safely. The unit operates smoothly from -20°C freezing winters up to 70°C scorching summers. This reliability ensures the camera is always ready to record when you start the car.
The 3.18 inch touchscreen makes navigating menus simple. You do not need to fumble with tiny buttons. Voice control adds another layer of convenience. You can command the camera to save a video or take a photo while keeping your hands on the wheel.
The Botslab G980H redefines what we expect from consumer dashcams. It combines cinema quality video with military grade surveillance features. For drivers who want total peace of mind, this 4 channel solution covers all the bases.
