Dash Cams (or Dashboard cameras, or Car cameras) are an increasingly popular accessory for drivers around the world. In Russia and South Korea, the dashcam has become an accessory that is nearly ubiquitous. Recently, Dashcams have become increasingly popular in many Eastern European countries, China, and the United Kingdom. In some countries, some auto insurance companies offer a (substantial) discount for the use of a dashcam. Dashcams are becoming increasingly popular, which has increased competition in the market. There are innumerable varieties and types of dashcams, making it significantly more challenging to locate the ideal dashcam.
Before purchasing a dashcam, it is essential to consider a few factors. There are numerous features available on dashcams, some more intriguing than others. Your situation and reason for purchasing a dashcam are crucial in determining which dashcam is ideal for you. Below, we list the distinguishing characteristics of dashcams upon which you should base your decision.
1CH versus 2CH
1CH (1 channel) dashcams consist of a single camera. This is the ‘typical’ type of windshield-mounted dashcam that the majority of people use. 2CH dashcams include an additional rear camera. Most 2CH dashcams are variations of 1CH dashcams and include a separate rear camera connected by a long cable to the front dashcam. There are also Taxi-type 2CH dashcams with an installed rear camera that record the interior of the vehicle. Both cameras simultaneously record videos and store them on the same SD card in the front dashcam.
Storage capacity
Every dashcam must include a MicroSD card for storing video files. Dashcams always record in several-minute segments in order for loop recording to function. This loop recording ensures that the dashboard camera will continue to record even when the memory card is full. Thus, only the most recent videos are stored on the SD card. The duration of this period depends on the available memory space. The majority of modern dashcams support MicroSD cards of 128GB or more, which is equivalent to approximately 16 hours of FullHD video. To get the most out of your dashcam, make sure you choose a model with sufficient memory for your needs. Obtain a dashcam with at least 64 GB of memory if you want to record an entire workday.
LCD panel
An LCD screen on a dashcam can be a very convenient feature for installation and viewing recordings, but the dashcam itself will likely be larger. Some Dashcams have even larger touch-screen LCDs, while others lack LCD screens and are much more discrete. Dashcams without an LCD screen are typically equipped with WiFi for access to the camera’s menu. It is all a matter of preference; neither is superior to the other.
Wifi
WiFi-enabled Dashcams permit access through an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. This can be a very helpful addition to facilitate the downloading and sharing of files. Numerous well-known brands even have their own app, which makes the entire experience extremely efficient and convenient. To view the recordings on a dashcam without WiFi, you must either connect the dashcam to your computer or remove the SD card and insert it into your computer. Note that WiFi connectivity does not imply remote access to your dashcam. The dashcam can only be accessed when the user is within approximately 10 meters of it.
GPS
Recent dash cams that cost more than €100 typically include GPS. Dashcams equipped with GPS allow the user to view where recordings were made and the route traveled. GPS dashcams additionally display the current speed in each video. The majority of brands have their own GPS player for PC to display all data.
