The key to taking great and awesome footages with your dash cam is knowing how to use it properly. If you are familiar with all of its features and capabilities and you know the tricks to using this car accessory, then you'll be able to make the most of it. If you have recently purchased a dash cam for your car, here are some nifty hints and tips to help you take cool videos every time.
1. Mount your camera high
When it comes to choosing a mounting position, the higher your camera is, the better view of the road you'll get. As such, make sure to mount your camera in a high position. Also, see to it that it is within the swath of your wipers. This way, you'll still get an unobstructed view of the road when it is raining or snowing. Speaking of obstruction, ensure that your camera doesn't block your view of the road or you might end up paying fines.
2. Hardwire your camera
Most of the time, dash cams are always plugged into the car's cigarette lighter outlet. As a result, the camera automatically switches on when the car engine comes to life and shuts down when the keys are removed from the ignition. If you're using other car accessories or electronic devices, it would be wise to connect the dash camera directly to your car's power source. This way, you can free up your cigarette lighter outlet for other devices. At the same time, you don't have to deal with wires dangling on your dashboard.
3. Keep the camera running all the time
Incidents happen when you least expect them. This is why it would be wise to keep the camera rolling at all times when you're driving your car. With the camera running, you can be sure that you won't miss anything interesting.
4. Save the video immediately
If you do catch something interesting or unusual, make sure to save the video immediately. Otherwise, the footage may get overwritten when the loop record cycle of your dashboard camera ends. If you want, you may also carry a few extra SD cards with you so you'll have plenty of storage space.
5. Use the biggest and fastest memory cards
To ensure high quality videos, equip your dash cam with the biggest and fastest memory card possible. If you use slower memory cards, you're more likely to experience file errors. Plus, it can take a long time to copy your videos from these cards to your computer. Class 10 memory cards are highly recommended because they have faster writing speeds and larger storage capacity.
Dash cams indeed make a great addition to your car accessories. To enjoy their full features and capabilities, be sure to follow the tips discussed above.
