What is a Dash Cam?
A dash cam continuously records the road while you drive, providing footage that can be decisive in insurance claims, accident disputes, and fraud protection. Resolution is the key spec to consider: 1080p Full HD suits everyday use, 1440p and 2K deliver sharper number plate capture at higher speeds, and 4K is ideal where maximum detail matters. Dual-channel models add a rear-facing camera to cover tailgating and rear-end collisions — the most common blind spot for front-only cameras. Parking mode extends protection when the engine is off, but requires a hardwire kit connecting the camera to your vehicle's fuse box. Note that all dash cams require a high-endurance microSD card to store footage.
