What does time-lapse recording mean for dash cams?
1 Answers
Time-lapse recording for dash cams, also known as delayed recording, is a shooting technique that compresses long recordings into shorter segments, similar to the fast-forward playback function in movies. Dash cams with time-lapse recording capability use a one-frame-per-second recording method during monitoring, compressing every 30 minutes of footage into 1 minute for storage. This not only ensures the integrity of the recorded content but also significantly saves memory space. Time-lapse photography originated from special effects in filmmaking, where movies utilize the human visual persistence characteristic by displaying 24 photos per second to create the illusion of motion.
