Does the M8 record the driver and passengers?

Yes. The kit has three full-HD channels: the road ahead and two cabin views. That covers the driver and the rear seats.

Do I need a phone to use it?

The camera records on its own, but the app is how you change settings and review clips. Pairing over Wi-Fi is part of setup.

A single-channel camera only films the road. The M8 adds interior coverage, which matters for rideshare, taxi and fleet drivers.

It is more work than a one-camera unit because three cameras need mounting and wiring. Many owners have a shop install it.

It records at night, but cabin and road footage is softer in low light. Good interior lighting helps.

The kit includes the main camera unit, the additional cabin cameras and their cabling. Check the listing for the exact mount and cable contents.
