Car Dashcams have become significantly important for vehicle owners as well law enforcement agencies in the event of a traffic accident

Car Dashcam

 Car dashcam, also called auto video recorder or car video recorder, is a small, onboard camera that continuously records the view from inside a vehicle and at times either the back or front windshield or all three. This device is usually integrated with a computer system that allows the user to view the recordings or download them directly to a personal computer. Dashboard cameras are often used by private individuals to monitor their employees as well as by security firms and bounty hunters. Dashboard cameras record the events of the dash as well as what is occurring outside the car and the surroundings.

Over the years, there have been many modifications to the consumer dashcam model. The original dashboard camera, which was mounted over the drivers' seat, covered the entire windshield and worked well for a long time. However, due to improvements in technology and the desire for increased functionality, the demand for a more flexible dashboard cam started growing. A newer model covers the windshield only; the front and back windshields are not covered in this case. Some car dashcams today record the audio as well as the video. Other advanced features include the ability to use the dashcam as a GPS logger, a traffic monitor, and a live monitoring tool. This way, the user can see what is happening on the road, even if he is not in the car.

There are two main types of dashcams namely the tilt-able and the fixed-lens dashcam. Both tilt models allow the user to angle the front camera lens upwards, whereas fixed-lens dashcam always remains tilted to the right or the left. Another major difference between the two types of car dashcams is that the tilt models allow the user to pan the camera lens while recording. This is unlike the fixed-lens dashcam which remains fixed to the center of the road. Recently, in February 2019, Panasonic Corporation, a Japanese electronics company, launched a new compact, high-performance in-vehicle camera AS-1 Arbitrator to match law enforcement agencies’ requirements.
