Does the Dash Cam Record Automatically?

[DiLydia]

After the vehicle is parked and turned off, the dash cam will automatically shut down and enter a low-power sleep mode. However, once it detects a collision or movement of objects in front, it will immediately wake up and capture the surrounding footage. This ensures both vehicle parking safety monitoring and energy conservation, preventing the risk of battery drain. Below is more information about dash cams: 1. A dash cam refers to a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle operation. It essentially functions as an automotive camera, capable of high-definition recording to fully document the vehicle's journey, including images, sounds, and vehicle status data. 2. Dash cams with parking monitoring features can continue recording after the vehicle is turned off, but typically only for a few minutes, as the dash cam is not charging when the vehicle is off. The parking monitoring function of dash cams comes in two types: one is continuous recording, and the other is short-duration recording triggered only when the vehicle experiences vibrations.
