Will the dash cam continue working after the car is turned off?
2 Answers
After the car is turned off, the dash cam will continue working. Here are the specific details about dash cams: 1. Preventing fraud: With the frequent occurrence of fraud incidents, many car owners install dash cams in their vehicles. When someone maliciously commits fraud, the video information recorded by the dash cam serves as strong evidence. 2. Evidence for accident liability: In addition to preventing fraud, when a traffic accident occurs, the video information from the dash cam can also be used as an important basis for determining liability. 3. Recording driving life: Nowadays, many people choose to travel by car, and during these trips, the dash cam can record every moment of the journey. At the end of the trip, the recordings can be copied out, serving as beautiful memories of the journey.
Whether the dash cam continues to work after the car is turned off actually depends on its wiring method and settings. I often encounter car owners asking this question, as I've had similar confusion myself. If the dash cam is plugged into the cigarette lighter, it usually shuts off automatically when the car is turned off and power is cut. However, dash cams connected to the constant power line in the fuse box will keep working after the engine is off, so you need to pay attention to the battery. For example, my car has a voltage reducer installed, and it activates surveillance mode when parked, only starting to record if a collision is detected. Of course, prolonged operation does consume battery power, so it's important to choose a device with low-voltage protection to avoid a dead battery when starting the car next time. For those with constant power connections, it's advisable to regularly check the battery status, especially for older vehicles where extra caution is needed.
