: A dash cam starts creating video files on an empty memory card. These video files are typically segmented into 1, 3, or 5 minute chunks, since it is easier to view and work with small video files on your computer rather than one long continuous file.

This is known as "loop recording", and is one of the most important abilities of dash... Read more

You can't explain that! Just kidding. Dash cams record video to a removable memory card inside the camera itself. Any time your car is on and the dash cam is plugged in, it is acting as your backup witness. Dash cams automatically start recording when they are powered on, and stop recording once you turn your car off. Note: Some dash cam models have the ability to keep recording even while the vehicle is parked! This is known as "parking mode".

Once you have purchased a dash, in most cases this is all you need to do to be up and running:

• Insert a memory card.
• Attach the suction-cup mount to your windshield.
• Plug the power cord into the power source (cigarette lighter or other).

Done! Since recording is automatic, just drive your vehicle like you normally would, and enjoy the fact that you are now "protected by dashcam"!.

Please note that the above is applicable to plug & play dash cams.

Yes, there are several types of dash cams, and while they come in all shapes and sizes, they may be classified into a few distinct categories (click on any category link below to open a new browser window to that category of dash cam): Single-lens dash cams (for forward-facing recording) Dual-lens dash cams (for front + rear recording) Dual-lens dash cams (for front + inside recording) Professional dash cams (for commercial or governmental fleet vehicles) Single-lens dash cams are the most basic type of dash cam.

These are particularly useful for fleet or commercial vehicles where typically the driver of the vehicle is not the owner of the vehicle. There are also dual-lens dash cams for front + rear such as the BlackVue DR750S-2CH that record in front of the vehicle like a single-lens model, but also use the input from a smaller remote camera (a camera mounted in the back of the vehicle - on the rear windshield) to record what is happening behind the vehicle as well. Professional dash cams are commercial-grade models designed for business use (fleet vehicles, taxis/Uber/Lyft drivers, delivery trucks, etc) or other commercial, municipal or government purposes. These high-reliability units are also desirable to those individuals seeking the added peace of mind that comes from using a professional-level device in their own... Read more
