Chances are, you already have a dash camera. You know they’re great for making sure that everything is documented, whether you’re running or parked. You know how a dash cam deters crime and helps in your insurance. And in the unfortunate scenario that an accident happens, it gets to capture every detail like road signs and plate numbers.
So if you’re perfectly happy with your dash cam, why is there a need to upgrade yours?
Do you want to say NO to wires, and say YES to built-in batteries?
Older models of dash cams would get their power from cigarette lighter outlets, risking getting tangled on those wires and even possibly cause accidents. This can easily be resolved by having a built-in battery like a 3.7V 200mAh high rate polymer battery which is robust, flexible, and has a low chance of leaking electrolytes. Plus, your dash cam will have a slicker profile since a polymer battery is thinner.
Do you need better parking assistance?
When it comes to parking features and guidance, older dash cams just don’t cut it. Normally, standard and older dash cams record everything when the engine is on. However, if the engine isn’t running, then your dash cam won’t be capturing video thanks to a lack of power. With a new dash cam, parking mode tends to come as standard, offering everything from impact detection to motion detection. Parking is safer since upgraded dash cameras will automatically show the rearview with parking guidelines when the car reverse gear is engaged.
Do you want to have better clarity with higher resolution?
Images and videos just keep getting clearer and sharper with newer models. Older dash cams may record in 480p or 720p which way lower than what newer dash cams are capable of. Experiencing 1080P Full HD makes you safer, registering a better and wider field of view, with more details and crisp quality like road signs, small obstructions, and even wildlife crossing in front of you. These cameras offer incredibly high-quality images and you’ll be able to make out things plate numbers and faces, even if the vehicle or person is far away from the camera.
Do you want to be safer at night with better night time recording?
Night-time driving can actually be more dangerous thanks to a lack of natural light. Most dash cams come with low light features that allow video recording to continue even in the dark, but older cameras may create grainy, barely visible videos that may not be of any use to the police or insurers. To make sure you have better image quality at night, one that has a balanced contrast and brightness, as well as the ability to capture even minute details, select a dash cam with an imaging sensor like Sony IMX335.
