Dash Cam Parking Mode - How does it work

0

Parking Mode

If you want your dash cam to keep recording even when your car is parked or left attended to then look for this feature on your dash cam. A lot of unfortunate incidents can take place when you are not in your car like vandalism, theft or accidental bumps and if your dash cam comes with the parking mode feature then you can easily track back to what actually happened. This allows you to keep an eye on your vehicle and its surroundings even without being present at the scene.

Reliability

You will need a device that will not be easily damaged. Imagine driving for hours in hot weather or leaving your car parked under the sun with your dash cam exposed to the heat. If the device is not built well the extreme heat can hamper the video quality, cause sensor burns and damage the body of the dash cam as a whole.

Customer Feedback


One of the best ways to know how well the device performs is to read as many reviews from actual users as possible. Most selling sites, shops and manufacturers will only have good things to say about their products so it is best to find out from people who have experienced the product first hand.
Benefits of Owning a Dashboard Camera
It provides solid proof of an accident
Owning a car leads to getting into accidents if we aren’t careful enough. However, a lot of times, even when we are being careful, our vehicle still gets damaged by the reckless driving of others. And a majority of times, these hit and run drivers either manage to get away with their crime or if they get caught, they deny it immediately or worse, blame it on you. Owning a dash cam will prevent this from happening to you as it records everything continuously from the moment you turn on your engine until the moment you turn it off. If you ever get caught in a situation like the one mentioned above, simply show the traffic police your dash cam recording, and you won’t have to pay a fine for a hit and run you didn’t commit.  Other than that, if, while you are driving, you come across an accident, your dash cam will record that as well. To put it simply, these cameras will provide you with firm evidence for any crime or accident that you come across while you’re on the road.
Rest assured
If you live in an unsafe neighborhood or if your house doesn’t have a garage and you have to park your car outside, you will find yourself constantly fretting about it getting stolen. But, thanks to the invention of dash cams, you don’t have to worry about it any longer! Most of these cameras have a GPS system installed in them, which makes it easier for the police to track down your stolen car and bring it back to you. In the same way, if you lend your car to a friend and want to make sure your car is being taken care of properly every time your friend takes it, you can simply just watch the pre-recorded videos in your dash cam and then decide whether lending your car to someone else again would be good for your car or not.

Why you need a dash camera

Features of a Dash Cam

Although there isn’t much you can do with a dash cam and they do not have any complicated buttons or functions, there are still some important things you need to look for in your dash cam to get the best out of it. Remember a dash cam is meant to assist you with important evidence so it should not fail you in times of need. Check out the following things that you need to look for in a dash cam.

Discreet

Depending on the reason as to why you wish to place a dash cam in your car, you can decide on if you want it to be discreet or out in the open. Smaller dash cams are easily be hidden but they are a little difficult to operate, whereas the larger ones can be viewed openly but are much easier to operate. If you want to record something as evidence and feel that the visibility of a dash cam may hamper your chance of collecting the evidence then you can go for a smaller sized dash cam. For general use, a normally sized dash cam will serve you well too.

Video Quality

This is probably the most important thing to look for when picking a dash cam. The video quality must be higher than average and preferably shoot at a high definition of 720p or 1080p. Non HD cameras may be cheap but they will not be able to capture moments in the right way and maybe even not serve their purpose right. Dash cams that record in decent HD quality are luckily not that expensive so just a few bucks can actually make a lot of difference in the long run.
To check if your camera can actually record well you can do the following two things before purchase (that is if you have the opportunity to test a product before buying):
  1. Record and watch night time videos. The quality of the print is usually good even with cheap cameras when you record during the day so it will be wise to see how it performs in low light or at night. You never know when you need to capture a moment and if an incident occurs at night you will need your camera to be able to record everything in details.
    Check out the recording angle. Your dash cam must record every angle accurately because if the angle if not right you may lose out on crucial footage

How does a Dash Cam work

0



Dash cams do not have any fancy features or buttons/switches on them. As they are only wired to circuits that become hot when the ignition key is turned on, they automatically start recording whenever they are powered on and switch off when the power dies. As mentioned above, you can have your dash cam placed on the dashboard or even behind the rear view mirror or any place discreet. If you want to transfer your recorded files to your computer then do so while it is still available because dash cams tend to record over any old files once it reaches the end of its memory storage capability.

Dashcam Buyer’s Guide

What is a Dash Cam?

While it might seem like the answer is very obvious ‘A dash cam is a camera which you place on and record from the dashboard of your car’, it does not exactly explain what a dash-cam really is, or rather why it is not merely just a camera sitting on the dashboard of your car. The correct answer to that would be that a dash cam is a device that you can install, either on the dashboard (hence the name) or attach to the windshield or at any preferred point inside a vehicle to record everything that is taking place in or around the vehicle. Although it can serve as a nice device to record a memorable trip or beautiful outdoor scenery, the main purpose of a dash cam is to record events which can be used as evidence later on.
There are a few more ways in which a dash cam operates differently from a regular cam. Let us take a look at three of those ways:
  1. Designed to constantly record when supplied with power – so it is an auto start and auto stop, almost like CC cameras which we install in our homes or buildings
  2. Can be fixed to the vehicle’s electric system (wired) or connected via the power adapter )cigarette lighter)this eliminates the need for extra batteries
  3. Overwrites old data to create space for new recordings
