Does the Dash Cam Have Recording Function?
2 Answers
Dash cams have recording function. Dash cams are generally external cameras, whose main function is to record the driving conditions outside the vehicle, but they can also record the sound inside the car, just not the images inside. When purchasing a dash cam, you need to pay attention to the following points: Stability: The dash cam you purchase must avoid unstable images due to quality issues, and battery life is also a very important feature for dash cams. Pixel issue: The most basic pixels of dash cams are above 2 million. If the dash cam you choose has pixels below 2 million, the images taken may not be clear. Camera angle: A too narrow shooting angle can easily lead to blind spots in the field of vision, affecting the comprehensiveness of the recording. Generally, the camera angle is best above 100 degrees, and currently, 140 degrees and 160 degrees are the most common. Night effect: Whether the night shooting effect of the dash cam is clear is very critical. Many dash cams will be equipped with infrared function, or have anti-backlight and anti-glare functions.
To be honest, most dash cams come with audio recording features, but whether to use it or not is entirely up to personal preference. I usually keep the audio recording on while driving, thinking it might provide extra evidence in case of fraud or accidents. However, I've also seen car owners specifically purchase models without audio recording due to privacy concerns. It's quite flexible - many dash cams allow you to turn off the microphone with a single click in the settings, or you can simply cover the microphone hole with a small sticker. I recommend checking the specifications page carefully before buying, paying attention to whether it indicates audio recording functionality or includes a mute button. By the way, if you're having private conversations in the car, don't forget to press the mute button!
