Volvo XC90 dash cam cannot record inside the car, it only records the scenery outside the vehicle. A dash cam is an instrument that records images and sound information during vehicle driving. Taking the 2021 Volvo XC90 Zhi Xing Luxury 5-seater version as an example, it belongs to a mid-to-large SUV with body dimensions of: length 4953mm, width 1958mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 2984mm, and luggage compartment volume ranging from 709 to 1874 liters. The 2021 Volvo XC90 Zhi Xing Luxury 5-seater version is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 184kW, maximum power speed of 5400 to 5700 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 1800 to 4800 rpm.
As a long-time car owner with years of driving experience, I'm quite familiar with the dash cam in the Volvo XC90. Generally speaking, the factory-installed one usually records the road outside for collision prevention or accident evidence collection, and can't film the interior. But if you want it to record inside the car, you can install a third-party camera, such as adding a small lens module to the interior rearview mirror or dashboard. I've modified my own car this way—just connect the wiring, and you can switch angles on the APP to record driver or passenger behavior. However, this raises privacy concerns, so it's best to inform friends when they ride in your car to avoid awkwardness. Technically, it's not difficult; the accessories cost just a few dozen yuan, and installation just needs to avoid obstructing the view. Remember, some regions have legal restrictions on in-car recording, so check local regulations before proceeding.
