There are dash cams that clip directly onto the rearview mirror. The main functions of a dash cam include recording driving videos and emergency collision footage. It can document the entire driving process with video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also be used to record the journey. Precautions for installing a dash cam: Before installing a dash cam, thoroughly read the manual to understand all the buttons and functions. Choose an installation location that does not obstruct the driver's view—the best spot is the upper center of the windshield, near the rearview mirror. Ensure it is within the wiper's coverage area; otherwise, in rainy or snowy weather, dirty windows outside the wiper's reach may result in unclear footage. Adjust the dash cam's field of view to face straight ahead, with the car's hood appearing at the bottom of the frame but not exceeding one-third. The A-pillars on both sides of the car should be positioned at the lower edges of the frame. Dash cam motion detection feature: The motion detection feature is designed to record when there is movement in the frame and stop recording when there is none. However, in situations with minimal movement, such as traffic jams or waiting at red lights, enabling this feature might cause the cam to miss critical footage. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off this feature while driving. For loop recording duration settings, dash cams offer options like 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes. For long drives, a 10-minute loop is recommended.
