onboard camera

Dashboard or helmet cam

An onboard camera is a camera mounted on or within a vehicle, device, or piece of equipment rather than operated separately.

Dashcams, body cams, and cameras built into drones or race cars are all onboard cameras.

The term emphasizes that the camera travels with and records from the perspective of whatever it's attached to: The onboard camera captured the driver's view through the final turn.
