Can a Dash Cam Still Record When Turned Off?
1 Answers
Turning off the screen allows the dash cam to continue recording, but turning off the power switch stops recording. Below is relevant information about dash cams: Functions of a Dash Cam: A vehicle dash cam, commonly known as a car black box, is a digital electronic recording device that captures, stores, and outputs data related to the vehicle's driving speed, time, mileage, and other driving status information. It continuously records video while driving, simultaneously logging time, speed, and location in the footage, functioning much like a "black box." It can also be used at home as a DV camera to capture life's moments or serve as a home surveillance device. Additionally, it can act as a parking monitor. Installed dash cams must not have their video footage edited, as altered footage cannot provide assistance in the event of an accident. Basic Components of a Dash Cam: The main unit includes a microprocessor, data storage, real-time clock, display, operation keys, printer, and data communication interface. If the main unit does not include a display or printer, it should have corresponding data display and print output interfaces; a speed sensor; and data analysis software.
