** Dash Camera Installers, Perth, Is Big Brother Security **

A Dash Camera, (dashcam) also known as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder), is an indispensable vehicle accessory that offers peace of mind by meticulously documenting every detail of your journey, in the resolution of your choice.

Dash Digital Video Recorders (DVR's) can offer a variety of benefits, from providing evidence in the event of an accident, deterring would-be thieves and also record road trip memories.

Dashcams can be used in trucks, fleets, commercial and passenger vehicles, also motorcycles.

Cab / Driver recording  is also a feature often preferred by many commercial trucking and fleet operators.

** Installation Location **

Front Dash Cams need to be installed in a legal location like on the windshield, dashboard, or rear-view mirror. Generally, the best installation location is on the inside of the front windscreen up behind the rear view mirror. This is out of the line of sight of the driver. Also it is recommended the dashcam be installed low enough so the windscreen wipers always wipe clean the windscreen, which then gives the dash camera lens a clear, unobstructed view for quality video recording.

Rear Dashcams will be mounted to the rear windscreen of a vehicle. This could also be on a hatch, barn door etc. For trucks, a waterproof camera will be required to be mounted at the rear of the truck's body, somewhere next to the number plate to give the best field of view.

** Recorded Evidence **

When you have a Dash Camera installed into your vehicle, it can easily prove who is at fault when an accident occurs, providing clear video and audio evidence.

Dashcam footage can be used as evidence in court, provided it is relevant to the case. It is also illegal to record audio without the consent of all parties involved.

Professional dash cameras record Video, Audio, and GPS Data, including Speed and Location. Some dashcams also have Advanced ADAS Functions (Advanced Driver Assistance System) along with Driving and Parking recording Modes.

Dash cameras provide vital evidence in accidents or incidents, serving as an unbiased witness that helps hold reckless or inconsiderate drivers accountable. This footage can play a crucial role in insurance claims, legal proceedings, and improving overall road safety by discouraging negligent behaviour.

Features to look out for.

An Effective, High-End Dash Camera should offer features like:

1. Audio Recording : Recording audio is a great selectable feature, recording your conversations while on your journey. It will also record the things you say at the time of an incident. Be Careful what you say. This feature can be generally turned off if not required in the system's settings. In Western Australia, it is illegal to use a dashcam to record audio without the consent of all parties involved.

2. Driving Mode : While driving, this mode constantly records your journey on the main folder of the SD card. It then 'locks' an 'event' away on a protected portion of the SD card. The protected area is only ever erased when formatting the SD card.

3. Parking Mode : With either time-lapse or motion detection recording, this feature is useful when the vehicle is parked and the key is off. Motion detection recording is a handy feature, only recording once movement is detected. This mode saves in SD card lifespan and vehicle battery power.

4. Low Power Cut off in Parking Mode : An internal battery voltage monitor of the dash camera will shut down the parking recording mode once the vehicle power supply reaches the lower pre-set level.

5. Endless Loop Recording : While continuously recording, the unwanted footage is eventually recorded over. This may be after a couple of days or even a week. It will depend on weather you have both front and rear cameras recording and also the size of the SD card.

6. Format Free Technology :  Some Dashcams offer format free Technology. This means every 6 weeks or so, (depending on its settings) the unit will automatically format the SD card, giving it a fresh new start. This is sort of like defragging your hard drive on the PC.

7. GPS : An internal GPS receiver inbuilt into the Dashcam, tags the recorded file of the current location and speed of the recorded event.

8. Wi-Fi : This can enable a wireless connection to your phone / laptop which enables access to the settings of the dash camera. It can also give you access to the saved footage, eliminating the removal of the SD card from the camera.

9. Class 10 long life SD card : A quality dash camera records at high resolution. That means data at high speed needs to be transferred to the SD card. The SD card must also be able to be written  and rewritten over and over and over again. Adding a rear camera, the SD card is now  receiving twice the information at once. Think of it like an endurance car race at Bathurst. The car must last the endurance and not break down after the first hundred laps or so. Same for the SD card in your dashcam.

10. Expansion to add a Rear Camera : The ability to record the rear of the car as well as the front, is also a great insurance policy.  Rear cameras are generally lower in resolution and are quite small. Wiring these cameras correctly can be tricky, especially getting past all the trim and hood-roof lining. Running the wires through the rubber wiring grommets connecting the car's rear doors - hatches is very challenging and also time consuming. Trucks generally need an external waterproof camera with its wires specially protected from the elements.

11. Remote recording; separate from the Camera : Having the dashcam recording separate from the camera is a great feature which adds a higher level of security to your vehicle. If the vehicle is broken into, and the dashcam with its recordings stolen, that would be a shame. To have the dashcam recording separate of the camera either on a SD card  or cloud via 4G also makes sense. However, a 4G mobile data plan for cloud recording can cost a lot of money. Installing a car alarm system is also a good idea.

12. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) : Dashcams can provide various ADAS features such as lane departure, forward collision warnings, pedestrian detection, and even monitor your blind spots.

13. Night Vision with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) : Cameras record in full sunlight during the day and also need to be able to see in the dark of night, often with headlights shining directly into the lens, from on coming traffic. Built in WDR features help the camera see clearly with these challenges.
