Haval Big Dog comes with a built-in dash cam. Below is the relevant introduction about car dash cams: 1. Definition: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process with video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. 2. Functions: It safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of drivers by allowing playback of recorded footage, making accident responsibilities clear at a glance, enabling traffic police to handle accidents quickly and accurately. It not only facilitates rapid clearance of accident scenes to restore traffic flow but also preserves valid evidence of incidents, contributing to a safe and smooth traffic environment.

Does the Haval Big Dog come with a factory-installed dash cam? I just bought the 2023 top trim version, and it actually comes with a front-facing camera that functions as a dash cam. It's quite convenient to use, offering HD recording and the ability to connect to a mobile app for viewing. However, for the lower or mid-trim models, I recall that the dealer's list didn't include this as a standard feature, so you'd have to pay extra to have one installed, which would cost a few hundred yuan. When buying a car, it's advisable to check the configuration sheet, as there can be significant differences between different year models. Before 2022, most versions didn't come with one. A friend of mine bought a mid-trim model and installed a dash cam with night vision himself, saying it's super effective against fraudsters and can record clearly even in rainy weather. Overall, while having a factory-installed one is nice, aftermarket options offer more flexibility and savings. Brands like 70mai or BlackVue are good choices.

The Haval Big Dog's built-in dash cam depends on the trim level. I just test drove the new mid-range model and found it doesn't come standard. The salesperson explained only the top trim or optional packages include it, probably to cut costs. Many SUVs are like this now, lacking basic features. If you want to save money, installing one yourself is cost-effective. I recommend a dual-camera model with rear recording – you can get one for under 1,000 yuan, easy to install by plugging into the cigarette lighter. Compared to the Geely Xingyue, which includes dash cams in some trims, Haval falls slightly short, but the value is decent. Remember to check the vehicle manual or APP settings to confirm compatibility and avoid issues.

Some configurations of the Haval Big Dog come with a factory-installed dash cam, but not all. When I visited the 4S store last time, the salesperson mentioned that the high-end version has a built-in camera for recording, while the low-end version requires aftermarket installation. The dash cam is crucial for safety, such as preventing accident disputes, so it's recommended to have one regardless of whether it's factory-installed or not. Installation isn't difficult; you can usually buy the device and have it installed at a professional shop or DIY. The Haval models have a rugged design, and having a dash cam makes driving even more reassuring.
