Dash cameras are in great demand among car drivers. This device greatly helps in case of undesirable events such as accidents, but it is also very useful for travel enthusiasts, because it can record, with a good quality, virtually everything on the road travelled by car. A dash camera mounted in vehicles, motorcycles, trucks is useful for recording nonstop what is happening in front of the vehicle, for monitoring of stationary / parking or during the vehicle running various traffic situations, incidents, etc.

Although resolution matters a great deal, it is important to remember that not always dash cameras HD or Full HD offer the quality expected. For example a cheap dash camera will never have a true HD picture, even if the sensor and the recording have that resolution. However, a cheap car camera is better than no camera and it may prove equally useful.

What qualities must a dash camera present? Well, dash cameras should shoot well, fluently, clearly, without focusing problems, including at night; they should have image stabilization to reduce permanent vibrations existing during travelling by car; the angle of vision should be as wide as possible to encompass much of the traffic; they should record in loop mode (overwriting files on filling of the card); they should charge from the car while filming; they should have a good grip with multiple settings; they have to better withstand shocks (where they could fall off the windshield or dashboard); they should withstand extreme temperatures (including frost).

For those who want to shoot from outside the car, on a motorcycle helmet or even on a bicyclist helmet, there are action cameras. Although they are more expensive, these cameras are protected from water, wind and dust; thus they can be used in almost any weather conditions.

No matter what car or bike you might have, what budget you own and how much you need to travel, a video camera "onboard" is more than a fad, being considered as the equivalent of a "black box" that records continuously the entire route and the events that may occur.

Furthermore, some car cameras can be used for surveillance, recording being triggered by motion detection. Enthusiasts can simultaneously use two car cameras, one on the windshield for visibility in the front, and another one on a rear tailgate, for visibility in the back.

Have you ever been falsely accused of a violation of traffic rules? Well, due to the combination of resolution, high color accuracy and low light sensitivity you'll now have a clear, detailed video recording to proudly present in your defense. The best part is that you can record images of traffic all day long.
