Dashboard Camera Purchase Guide
A dash camera recorder, a.k.a in car camera is capable of shooting continuous loop recordings of your travels. Let’s say you are on a once in a lifetime road trip on a scenic drive, and you wish to save the journey on your camcorder or smartphone. Capturing video while driving is rather difficult and risky, and so is certainly ill-advised. Plus, you would hardly be able to take a shake-free video. With half decent dash cam systems in your vehicle you already have a camera sitting at the best possible position (the windshield). Plus, it is securely mounted which allows it to record shake-free videos. Road trip aside, it’s good protection against fraudulent insurance claims and serves as protection in the form of evidence when it comes to the crazy things that happen on the roads in this day and age.
Whether you already own one or are looking to purchase your first, this article is for buyers, drivers, or vehicle owners who are looking for the best dash cam that money can buy. While the general public are fairly knowledgeable on what dash cams are and what they can do for us, the actual decision making process when it comes to buying one isn’t as smooth as it could be. There are simply too many options and features within models, and hundreds of choices available on the market.
A large variety of choice for some people is a good thing, but for others, too many options may not be so good.Now, less of the tease, let’s take a look at some of the must have features when it comes to buying a car dash cam:
Ease Of Installation and Discreetness
Ease of installation is important. The last thing that you would want is a dashboard camera system that refuses to stay put where you had installed it. This can happen due to poor quality suction cups, poor adhesives or associated clamping mounts. With cheaper quality models the problem areas are in the build, i.e the suction mounts and the adhesives, as opposed to the features and reliability. Even if the technology of the car DVR is reasonable the problems are in other areas, which can make installation difficult at times.
The best dashboard camera will have decent length of power cable provided. The power cable should be long enough to run the length from the position where the device is installed, all the way along where the windshield touches the vehicle body and on to the power source.
Believe it or not the ability of your dashboard camera to hide in plain sight is probably the first most important feature that you need. The reason? Legality. Legality comes from the laws of the country you belong to and the prevalent motor vehicle rules. In some countries using accessories that are considered intrusive to the visibility of the driver when driving a vehicle is considered illegal to use. The best way to figure out whether the country you will be driving your vehicle in allows the use of a dashboard camera system it is to check the prevalent rules.
Resolution Of The Video Capture
Full HD is the standard of the day. Sure one wouldn’t mind having the option to record at a reduced resolution of 720p or even WVGA, but higher resolution videos recording would make the difference between implicating an erring vehicle in the event of an accident and losing the case. Full high definition videos means more resolution. More resolution means more details such as number plates and clear images of faces can be better recorded. Almost every one of our dashboard camera reviews across the site supports 1080p capability at 30 fps, but if anything less is on offer you should question the overall quality of the device. In short, even if you opt to record in 720p, make sure it has 1080p for future-proofing.
Switch On / OffRecording
This may sound silly, but it is mandatory that your dashboard camera starts recording as soon as you turn on the ignition. Having to manually turn on recording is a counter-intuitive feature considering you may one day forget to hit REC on the way to Walmart and then you get hit with Murphy’s Law. On the other hand, however, it is not always a requirement to turn off recording immediately after you switch off ignition. This is called delayed power-off, which is a great feature for when you leave your vehicle. When enabled, after you switch off the ignition, recording can continue on the devices battery power for pre-set amounts of time, perhaps capturing a hit and run situation in the parking lot.
Gravity Sensor and Video Lock
Gravity sensor is a must-have technology for those looking for the best dashboard camera in 2018. These sensors can detect abrupt changes in gravity, which may occur when your vehicle makes a sudden stop due to a collision, or when your vehicle flips when making a turn at high speed etc. But there are a number of other reasons why your car or SUV could come to a sudden stop. Regardless of the reason, a good dash cam with gravity sensor and memory lock will sense that sudden deceleration, and lock the video that is being recorded at that moment which will also protect it from being overwritten during cyclic recording so it can be downloaded from the Micro SD Card and saved elsewhere.
GPS Dash Cam
A dash cam with GPS ensures that you can embed geo locational data into the recorded videos. In the event of an accident information like speed of your vehicle, the direction in which it was traveling and the route are all required to prove your innocence and to implicate a suspect vehicle. If the selected in car camera does not have built-in GPS you will need to purchase and install a module and connect the same with your now enabled GPS dash cam, but this is only possible if the device allows for it and if one is available in the marketplace. Lets elaborate; there are 3 types of dashboard camera reviews categorized across this site. In general, it’s usually the higher end models which have built-in GPS, the mid range ones have the ability to add an optional GPS module at an extra cost, and the budget options have neither of the aforementioned making it GPS incompatible.
Night Vision
Night vision or the ability to see and record incidents at night is a critical requirement. This works in tandem with parking monitor feature. A good dash cam with night vision uses light enhancing technologies that allows the in car camera to see in the dark. Night vision works as the means to document any acts of tampering of your vehicle or even accidents which may occur involving yourself or as a witness to others. With shorter days during winter periods it’s almost an essential must have feature; almost all have this facility but some have better quality vision than others, especially the mid and high priced cameras as opposed to the budget.
