1) Automatic Power On/Off with Auto-Looping Capabilities.
While an Action Cam could provide good video quality, they do not automatically power on and off ? requiring the driver to power on the device every time before starting their commute. Action Cams often does not have auto-looping functions either ? once the memory card is full, it will cease recording.
The Dash Cam automatically powers up when the vehicle is started, so the driver does not have to worry about forgetting to turn on the device. Memory storage is also less of a concern because of the auto-looping technology, as non-incident footages will be overwritten automatically to ensure that the device is always recording.
2) Impact Detection.
Action Cams often do not come equipped with essential components such as a 3-axis G-Sensor to detect sudden impact. In an incident, an Action Cam will not isolate the video footage for viewing purposes, nor does it have the capability to detect hit-and-run incidents when the vehicle is parked.
The Dash Cam will isolate and store footages automatically in the event of an incident using a built-in 3-axis G-Sensor to register impact, so there is no need to worry about missing important evidences in crucial moments.
3) Safety and Durability.
Conventional Action Cams are equipped with standard rechargeable batteries which has limited operating time. In addition, the rechargeable batteries inside these devices could overheat and become volatile under extreme heat, affecting its performance.
Dash Cams are plugged into the power outlet inside your vehicle, hence eliminating the need for a rechargeable battery. Dash Cams also utilize a Super Capacitor that is designed to withstand harsh conditions inside a car’s interior while eliminating the risks of heat related battery failures. Even if the power is disconnected in the event of an accident, the Super Capacitor allows the videos to be safely stored. With this technology, our Dash Cams provide a steady and dependable performance throughout a class-leading range of storage and operating temperatures.
4) GPS Tracking (for devices with GPS Antenna only).
In the event of a collision, it is important to collect as much information as possible to use as evidence. Some Dash Cams have the capability to connect to a GPS antenna, while selected models have a built-in GPS antenna to pinpoint the time, your speed and your location at the time of the incident, so you don’t have to worry about recalling the specifics when you most need it.
5) Rear View Recording Capability (Optional).
For the drivers who desire the best protection from other road users, some Dash Cams can pair with an optional rear view camera that are designed with the same high standard of quality and durability for a worry-free drive.
6) Out of Sight, Out of Mind.
An Action Cam needs to be remounted every time the driver gets into the car; require manual deletion of used videos; is vulnerable to unstable battery performance; could become projectile objects in a crash; and is often subject to theft.
A good Dash Cam has to be a device that drivers need not to worry about on their daily commute. Dash Cam is easy to install, highly autonomous, safe, durable, and discreet ? all you need to do is just simply get in your car and go for a drive.
