Whether you desire capturing the fun you are having while cruising [in your car] or you wish to upgrade the security system of your automobile, the dash cam will always come in handy. But you would not be satisfy with just about any kind of output- this is why you have got to go for the right kind of dash cam. Before you go to make your purchase, you have got to put the following factors into consideration:

  • Resolution: Most dash cams permit recording of high definition videos [with a resolution of either 720 pixel or 1080 pixel]. So, you should not go for less.
  • Angle: It is necessary that whatever video you are getting from the recording gives you an appreciable viewing of the events that unfolded. Inasmuch as a 360 degree viewing is not yet feasible for dash cams, a camera that gives you 120 degree viewing should do just fine.
  • Loop Recording: Without this feature, when the SD card gets filled while it is still supposed to be in use, and then you might lose some vital information. However, the loop recording feature enables the dash cam to overwrite the memory card thereby you don't get to miss any part of the recording.
  • Advanced features: Dash cams are now equipped with some advanced features like G-Force Sensors, GPS, Wi-Fi, accelerometers and so on.
