Do you ever worry about other people driving your vehicle? When handing over your keys to a valet or mechanic, you will know exactly how your vehicle was treated. If your kids drive the car, you can track how they are driving. Dash cams with GPS will even provide the route and speed.
We have all seen “dash cam” videos on Youtube and on TV. Previously only police cars had them installed, but as dash cam prices have dropped, ordinary people have started installing them in their vehicles. In some countries, such as Russia, a large percentage of drivers have dash cams.
Most dash cams will save the videos in either .AVI or .MOV format. Most video players such as Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player can play these files. For dash cams with GPS and G-sensor capabilities, mapping software usually comes with the dash cam.
Dash Cam manufacturers are primarily found in 3 countries: Korea, China and Taiwan. Typically the Korean cameras are higher end and have more features while the Chinese cameras are more affordable but with fewer features. The Taiwanese cameras typically fall in the higher end as well but their cameras are not that discrete. A dash cam is a video camera mounted in a vehicle. Most dash cams record both audio and video continuously. These cameras are sometimes called Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) or In Car Cameras. The vast majority of dash cams are actually mounted on the windshield not on the dash. Most of the cameras are forward facing but some dual lens cameras (front and back) are gaining popularity as well.
Essentially, a dash cam is like a security camera — you’re not really supposed to have to think about it until something happens that you’re happy you’ve recorded. An accident, a disguised test mule passing by, a naked man screaming and urinating while holding onto a Dodge Nitro hood, the usual. At that point, you can stop your dash cam, upload the footage, and present evidence in court or become a YouTube sensation or whatever.
The smallest dash cams usually don’t have screens but this typically is not a major issue for most people. We are starting to see rear view mirror dash cams. This idea is great and discreet, unfortunately video quality and reliability have not been best. As technology improves, this might be the ideal dash cam design.
It is surprising that, at least in the US, no established company has thrown their hat in the dash cam ring, since it’s the one place where people are not relying on their phones to take photos or video. You inherently want to just keep a dash cam in your car, so you’d think camera companies like Nikon or Canon or Sony would have some relatively cheap product to fit this niche, but so far the market is mostly flooded with no-name products of wildly varying quality.
