A dash cam is a device designed for monitoring traffic, providing navigation through GPS, reading traffic signs, and alerting on the vehicle's speed. This compact electronic device is usually placed in the cabin or on the driver's seat area for convenient and easy monitoring of journeys.
Principle of Operation of Dash Cams
When you switch on the camera, power from the car or battery helps it function. Specifically, the device starts recording continuous visuals and sounds, even when the car is in motion or the engine is off. Simultaneously, the recorded data is stored in the device's memory card.
Dash cams are electronic devices that capture visuals and sounds throughout the journey.
