Is the Dash Cam Always On While Driving?
1 Answers
Theoretically, as long as the dash cam has power or is continuously charging, it will remain on. Here are some details about dash cams: Dash Cam Power Switch Introduction: Most dash cams nowadays are connected to the cigarette lighter. In this case, the dash cam turns on when the car starts and turns off when the car is turned off. If connected to a constant power source, it can record 24/7, but the owner must manually turn it on and off. Important Notes: Leaving the dash cam on for extended periods while the car is off can drain the car battery, potentially making it difficult to start the car. Some dash cams have built-in batteries that allow them to operate for a while without external power, typically lasting up to four or five hours on standby, while others may only last about half an hour. Additionally, some dash cams feature parking mode or motion detection, which allows them to continue recording even after the car is turned off.
