HD dash camera buying advice

Dash cams are already essential in many countries because of scam artists who try to create accidents so they can sue you. They’ve also proven useful for catching cars flying into buildings, or the occasional meteor, as happened in Thailand and in Russia a few years ago.

But while auto con artists aren’t as common here, recording your excursions is a reasonable precaution to take—especially if you’re driving professionally. And even if you’re not, you may unexpectedly appreciate using it to chronicle your vacation travels—or tap into your smart home, as we’ve just tested an azdome dash cam, M06 4k dash camera

At present, there is all kind of the dash cam on the market, and the price is very different. The reporter found that more and more fake products are produced, because of low technology requirement, uniform standard, and the growing market requirement.

This is the reason why there are a lot of the dash cams with HD but short life. Therefore, choose a well-known and reliable brand dash cam, which ensure the good quality.

Next, I summed up several brand dash cam with a good reputation, high definition, and good after-sale services.

AZDOME dash cam

AZDOME, a well know the brand, has owned an R & D team in the dash cam industry for many years. AZDOME 4k ultra dash cam launched are strictly tested to produce high-quality products. But it is cheap and the sales are very high.

The main function of the dash cam is to shoot clear the road condition and restore the scene. Therefore, the pixel is the key factor for distinguishing the professional dash cam. At present, most of the dash cam on the market are equipped with 1080p and 7220p. and the large value is clearer. However, if more than 1080p, the recording time of the dash cam will be reduced and the life of the memory card will be shortened.

Finally, the reporter noticed that the clarity in nighttime also very important, which is often ignored while buying. Some products have a good effect in the daytime, but the night image is rough, even the license plate can be saw clearly.

Similar to nighttime, when the light changes in cloud, tunnels, and roads, it is time to test the lens’s ability to adjust sensitively, where too bright or too dark is difficult to identify. To avoid such problems, it is recommended that you look online for videos that are relative to your favorite products before buying.

How we test dash cams

Few people are as well situated geographically as I am to test dash cams. Within two blocks there are major four- and six-lane thoroughfares, numerous bike lanes, joggers, dog walkers, oblivious ear-budded pedestrians, and a major bus nexus serving both public and private coaches. The opportunities for near-accident are endless.

For every dash cam, I mount it in my car, judging the ease and convenience of doing so. Tip: Many dash cams rely on adhesive for mounting to your windshield. Hot conditions can make it next to impossible to remove the film that protects the adhesive. Remove the film in a cool environment, or place it in the fridge for a minute or two before installing it.

I put each dash cam through several days’ and nights’ worth of driving, recording video and judging the image quality. All the dash cams I’ve reviewed in the last couple of years take good daytime video. However, night video is often plagued by murky shadows and headlight flare. That said, quality is improving rapidly with the introduction of new sensors. Take a close look at the night shots in each review.

I try all the features: Buttons, display controls, apps. Aside from rear-view support and GPS, the most salient differences between the products are the interface controls and extra features, such as the lane departure and collision warnings that you get with some models. I try them...and I turn them off. In practice, they usually tell me I’m changing lanes, in heavy traffic, or have just been cut off. Additionally, the collision warnings generally come too late to do anything but distract you at exactly the wrong time.

The most pertinent improvements as of late are HDR support (High Dynamic Range, for greater detail and contrast) and the aforementioned better night video processing. A warmer color palette is also apparent in many newer cameras. Some cameras definitely stand out, but nearly all the dash cams I’ve seen will capture sufficient detail during any daytime metal-on-metal encounters you’re unlucky enough to experience. Again, pay attention to the night video shots—that’s the big differentiator.
