Can In-Car Cameras Monitor 24 Hours a Day?
2 Answers
In-car cameras can monitor 24 hours a day. Here is an introduction to the relevant content of in-car monitoring: 1. In-Car Monitoring: In-car monitoring refers to the real-time monitoring of the vehicle's interior when the car is locked. When gas flow is detected inside the vehicle, the turn signals will light up, and the warning system will sound an alarm. In-car monitoring does not mean there is a camera inside; for example, Audi vehicles come with built-in in-car monitoring. If there are moving objects such as children or pets inside the car, the in-car monitoring system will emit a warning sound after the vehicle is locked. 2. Location: The in-car monitoring switch is located on the side of the driver's door. Pressing the switch will turn on the small red light, and the in-car monitoring system will be deactivated.
Technically, 24-hour monitoring is achievable, but practical operation requires consideration of power supply issues. Most car cameras connect to the cigarette lighter socket, which cuts power when the vehicle is turned off. For round-the-clock monitoring, you'd need to modify to constant power supply or choose a model with built-in batteries. I've installed a camera with low-voltage protection that automatically shuts off when the battery voltage drops below 11.6V. However, the device tends to overheat and crash during summer exposure, while winter low temperatures reduce battery life by 30%. Additionally, you need to regularly format the memory card to prevent it from filling up. For genuine 24-hour monitoring needs, it's advisable to opt for professional security cameras paired with a mobile power solution.
