A car's video recorder or on-board camera can be a reliable witness in the event of an accident.

The car camera records video while driving. It attaches to your windshield or dashboard. Its main task is to record a video of the journey or parking of the car.

We also offer video recorders that record the front and rear view as well as the interior. They provide complete coverage around your car. They also capture what is happening behind your vehicle. This helps in rear-end collisions and parking lot events.

• On-board cameras that record the cabin monitor what is happening inside your car. They record the driver and passengers.
• Video recorders with a 360-degree field of view cover the entire area around your car.

Video quality (resolution)

Good video quality, or resolution, is key for a dash cam. Get a device with at least 1080p resolution. Higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K (3840x2160) are even clearer. Clear videos help you see details like car license plates.

Night vision capabilities

Night vision helps in low light. Clear night videos are essential when something happens after dark.

Storage options

Memory card capacity
Storage shows how much video your dash cam can record. Choose one that supports large memory cards. A 64GB or 128GB card is good for long recording times. Make sure it has loop recording to automatically replace old videos.

Cloud storage

Some dash cams store videos in the cloud. Cloud storage backs up your recordings. This is useful if your memory card is lost or damaged. Check if cloud storage is free or requires a subscription.

Power source

Battery powered vs corded
Dash cams need power to work well. Batteries are easy to set up, but have a limited lifespan. Wired devices connect to your car's mains and work all the time without worrying about the battery.

Parking mode functionality

Parking mode monitors your car while parking. It turns on the car camera when it senses movement or impact. Choose a car camera with parking mode for extra safety when you're not around.

Additional features

GPS tracking
GPS tracking is useful. It records the speed and location of your car. It helps in case of accidents. It also shows your route history. You can see past trips and driving patterns.

Wi-Fi connection
Wi-Fi allows easy access to dash cam videos. Transfer videos to your phone or computer without a memory card. Quickly share videos with insurance or the police. Wi-Fi also updates the dash cam software.

G-sensor and impact detection
The G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts. During a crash, it records video immediately. It keeps important moments safe. Identifying the impact helps in resolving disputes and insurance claims.

Loop recording
Loop recording continues filming without interruption. When the storage capacity is full, it will delete the old videos first. This avoids recording problems and keeps new recordings ready.

Installation and maintenance

Setting up the on-board camera yourself is cheaper and more flexible than having it done by a service. Many dash cams have simple instructions. You can use simple tools to install it. Follow the instructions carefully. Check the connections to avoid power problems.

Placement and positioning tips

For best results, place the dash cam in the correct location. Mount it on a tall windshield near the rearview mirror. This place gives a clear view of the road. Don't block your vision with the camera.

Make sure the lens is pointing straight ahead. Adjust it to see the road clearly. For dual cameras, place the rear one on the rear window. Secure the wires so that they do not hang.

Cleaning and maintaining the camera lens

Keep the lens clean for clear videos. Over time, dust can accumulate on it. Use a soft cloth to wipe gently, without harsh chemicals.

Check the lens frequently for smudges or dirt. Clean if the video quality drops.
