A dashcam or also commonly referred to as auto video recorder or vehicle video recorder, dashboard video recorder or car digital video monitor, is a small onboard camera which continually records the captured image through the front windshield and either rear or other external windows. It can also come with a digital camera or a TV tuner. Dashboards are made of glass usually but they are also available in fiberglass, metal and other materials. Most dashboards nowadays are provided with a monitor mount and an audio output jacks. The built-in camera is connected to a VGA video digicam by way of a USB connector.

There are many manufacturers producing dashboards with varying features and capabilities. You can choose from wired or wireless dashboards depending on your location and budget.

A dash cam uses a miniature receiver to connect to a DVR (digital video recorder) that is placed inside the dash. The DVR has a large LCD screen to display the images. This enables you to see what is happening during the drive. With modern dashboards, the LCD can also be used as a GPS receiver. You will be able to locate your vehicle from anywhere in the world. If you are a driver, you may want to purchase a dashboard camera to record accidents and road rage incidents.

If you have a dash cam installed in your vehicle, it is advisable to turn it on when you park the car or when you go to bed at night. Turn it off when you are sleeping at daytime. This will ensure that no one else may be using the recording device. You can also set up the dash cam to start recording only at certain times of the day, so if you forget to do this, you won't miss anything.

Installing a dash cam on your vehicle is easy. You must connect the DVR to your dashboard using a DVR cable. Make sure that the connection is tight so that the DVR does not malfunction.
