How to Choose the Right Dashcam for Your Vehicle
by Black Vue Car Camera DistributorYou will be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting from
among the various car camera brands available in the market. Here are a few
things to consider while choosing your car camera recorder in Singapore.
The Cost
The price of a dashcam varies as per the feature. It ranges from
as low as $50 for a basic model to $900 for an advanced and feature-packed
dashcam. The cheaper dashcams may not necessarily be the optimal choice as they
may lack the features and clarity required to help you in case of an accident.
It is better to choose a feature-rich car camera recorder in
Singapore from a reputed brand as this works almost like insurance on your
safety while you are on the road.
Reliability
If you are going to invest in a dashcam, do it right. Check and
compare reviews of different models. Look for models that will perform
optimally in different climatic conditions. The purpose of installing
an in-car camera will be of no use if the camera does not work when
it is most required.
Check if the dashcam supports parking mode recordings (recording
while engine is switched off). Even it does, check for any proven track record
that the dashcam is able to sustain the harsh climate. Since such feature
requires the dashcam to be switched on most of the time, most low cost dashcam
is unable to perform reliably. In
addition, check if the brand provides after-sales service. In the event the
dashcam does not work, you will need to get it repaired quickly.
Video Quality & Memory
The video quality of an in-car camera is
essential. When you met with an accident, it is crucial that the details
of the accident are evident in the footage of the camera.
A high-quality camera with the capability to record up to 4K Ultra HD
with 4 times more pixels than Full HD 1080p will give you footage with more
clarity in which license plates are clearly visible from further distance. You
should also ensure that your camera has sufficient memory, which will determine
how long a camera will record before the card loops and begins recording over
earlier recordings. Best video compression such as H.265 helps to maintain
smaller size for the recorded file s even though it is in 4K resolutions.
Good quality camera has special Adaptive Format Free feature
which requires lesser user intervention to format the SD card as to maintain
the recording stability.
Recording Capability
Do you want to catch footage of only what is ahead of your
vehicle (1 Channel), or do you want to get detailed footage of your vehicle's
surroundings (2 Channel)? By the way, 2-channel or front and back camera is the
most popular nowadays. It could monitor the traffic condition for the front and
even the rear side of your vehicle. For some cases, your recorded video may
help others who involves in an accident or hit and run.
Take the time to understand your requirements and pick the right
dashcam to keep you safe against unexpected incidents.
