Hikvision G40 3CH – TfL Approved Dash Camera for Taxis and Private Hire
The Hikvision G40 3CH is a professional TfL approved dash camera system built for the daily realities of taxi and private hire work in London. Supplied and professionally fitted by Safe and Sound, it records three views at once – the road ahead, the driver and the passenger cabin – giving you evidential quality footage, regulatory compliance and genuine peace of mind on every shift.
On the Official TfL Approved List
For licensed London taxi and PHV drivers, a standard dash cam is not enough. The Hikvision G40 appears on Transport for London’s official approved CCTV systems list, meaning the hardware meets TfL’s requirements for in-vehicle recording. That protects the investment you make in your vehicle and, more importantly, your operating licence.
Three Cameras, Complete Coverage
The 3CH configuration records all three critical views simultaneously in clear 1080P at 25 frames per second, using H.265 and H.264 compression to make the most of your storage:
- Front camera – full HD recording of the road ahead for incident and insurance evidence
- Driver-facing camera – documents the driver’s seat area, supporting disputes and passenger complaints
- Internal rear camera – the Hikvision AE-VC143T-ITS cabin camera watches over your passengers, with infrared night vision that records clearly even in a dark cab at 3am
Built for Professional Drivers
- Dual SD card storage – two card slots supporting up to 512GB in total (2 x 256GB) for extended continuous recording without data loss
- Built-in GPS – speed and location data overlaid on your footage, strengthening its evidential value
- Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity – review and download footage remotely through the app rather than pulling cards in the cab
- ADAS safety alerts – forward collision warning, lane departure alerts and traffic sign recognition
- Driver status monitoring – fatigue and distraction detection that helps keep long shifts safe
- Low power consumption – designed for all-day commercial operation without stressing the vehicle battery
