What should I be looking for in Cyber Monday dashcam deals?
When buying a driving recorder, you need to pay attention to some important Features such as video capabilities, recording options, and other handy must-haves. Video capabilities will be the most important aspect when making your decision. You need to consider whether you need a front and back view or just the front view. Also, check the resolution – we recommend at least 1080p, but if you can afford to shell out the extra, a premium 4K resolution dashcam can really make a difference.
Also, you’ll want to look at the field of view. The optimum field of view ranges from 120 to 140 degrees, as anything less may miss important things, and more may cause fisheye distortion in recordings.
Next, you will decide which recording options you need. Continuous loop recording automatically overwrites old records at specified intervals (unless saved) to minimize storage requirements. There’s also Incident Recording, which uses motion detection and trigger shock detection to document possible accidents.
Regarding storage options, you will usually find two options to choose from: cloud storage and microSD card storage. Cloud storage isn’t as common, but if you’re worried about losing a physical memory card, it might be nice to have. Otherwise, microSD cards will be the most common choice.
Finally, you should consider any other convenient features a particular dash cam may offer. These include GPS navigation, phone connectivity, parking monitoring, night vision and speed detection. All of these will depend on your personal preferences, but should be taken into consideration before making a purchase.
