How To Choose Best In Car Video Recorders

Car Video Recorders or Car Cameras are becoming increasingly popular with vehicle owners. These Dash Cameras generally mounted over the rear view mirror, continuously and automatically record both the visual and audio factors of events that happen inside and outside the car. Comparable to the Black Box in aircraft, these video recorders can be used as key evidence in legal disputes in car collisions or other road accidents. These act as protective or safety mechanisms against drivers who are reckless and against those who break traffic regulations it also records thefts or any other activity relating to pedestrians on the road.

 

How to choose a Car Video Recorder

There are many different varieties of Dash Cameras available in the market. So while considering the type of camera to buy, it is good to go in for the best. Recording quality depends on whether the camera is High Definition or not. If it is not HD, they may not be able to record the fine detail. For example, trying to read a number plate of another oncoming car during night driving may not be easy if it is not a HD Camera. And without these details, it would be trying in vain to use the recording effectively in a dispute especially in court.

 

Secondly, one’s budget should be taken into consideration. There are Full High Definition Cameras starting at % 89.99 (Core Tech’s DVR-5C8). But the higher end auto video recorder have additional features. These not only record the front of the vehicles, but the more expensive ones have dual cameras, which can record the rear of the vehicle too. F20, F60, F30, F600,L2000, L3000, I1000L, S3000A, S3000L, S4000L,L1000,X3000,X9000 all have dual cameras.

 

There are many more features in the expensive models on carcameradvr.com. These have GPS receivers inbuilt. The advantage here is that it can record the speed of the vehicle and it is stamped on the video. And, of course, the GPS tracks the location and co-ordinates which are recorded in the memory. There are some more sophisticated cameras which can, during video playback, precisely plot the location on Google Maps. The F3000, X3000, X8000, P5, P7, GS1000, GS5000, V660, L3000 and F60 has this feature incorporated in their Car Video Recorders.

 

Yet another feature is the G-Sensor, which is the Gravity Sensor. This records the movement and the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle. In the event of a collision, this is automatically recorded and locked in and can be used as evidence. There is also a facility for motion detection, which can be used for surveillance and security. This can detect external movement when the car is parked, L3000, L5000, F30, F60, F600, L2000, S1000, V660, P5, P3, X3000, P2, I1000L all have G-Sensor.
