How Do I Choose the Best Car Camera for Me? 

Car cameras have become increasingly popular due to the amazing viral videos out there. Car cams are used to show off gorgeous scenery and capture incredible moments. However, the best reason to install a dashcam in your car is to limit insurance liability.

Having visual evidence to show your insurance company can save you a large amount of money in the long run. It adds a layer of protection to capture acts of vandalism and show proof of accidents. Before you go out and buy one, here are some things you need to know before choosing a car camera.

Consider the Camera Features

When you decide to invest in a car camera, it is important to choose one that offers the features you need. With a wide range of features to choose from, you need to determine how you want to use your camera. Some of the features available include:

• GPS navigation
• Mobile app integration
• Sensor tracking/parking protection
• Loop recording
• Type of screen
• Mounts

These features tend to vary for each camera, and it is important to research them before making a purchase. The two biggest considerations, however, will likely be video quality and storage space.

Video Quality and Storage Space

One important feature when choosing a car DVR recorder is the video resolution. The quality of the video is only as good as the camera it was filmed with. Look for a car camera that captures video at a resolution of at least 1080p to get the best quality.

In terms of storage, you should look for the largest memory card that the camera will accept. To manage storage space, make sure to remove old videos or send them to the cloud. Loop recording can also help to manage storage space.

Recording Capability

Most car cameras are set automatically to record the moment you start the car. Furthermore, a dashcam that has a G-Sensor can detect nearby motion and will automatically save the recordings so that they can be viewed later. If anyone were to hit your car, you would know without even being there!

When it comes to choosing the right car camera, there are many factors to consider. Do not forget to stay within your budget and look for a product with a good warranty. Proper installation of the camera is particularly important. If you have any questions about a dashcam, contact the experts at The Spy Store.
