Product Information

Where we live, where we work, where our children go to school, when we're out of the house and our typical daily routines are personal information, and should be protected by the devices we trust to keep in our cars. Dashcams are powered using the 12v power outlet (also known as the cigarette lighter) in your car, but many can also be hard-wired into your car’s electrics. Parking mode The field of view on a dashcam can range from anywhere between 140 degrees to 180 degrees. The larger the field of view number, the larger the area that’s covered by the camera, such as the front and sides of the vehicle. Screen Halfords has no plans to improve its encryption, because it doesn't deem the data sensitive enough to warrant it. For a more professional installation, you can opt to hardwire your dashcam directly to your car's fuse box. This provides a cleaner look without visible wires and can allow for features like parking mode. However, this requires some electrical knowledge and may be best left to professionals if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

The actual interface of the camera comprises of 2 menus for the camera side of things and then a settings menu. I have recorded a little clip just below to allow you to see what this all looks like.Here is an updated version of Dash Cam Menu Settings which includes short descriptions of what a particular setting is for and what options are available for each category. Not all of these settings are available on every dash cam, and some dash cams may have a setting that is not listed here. If you want to hook up your dash cam to the TV you need to select the appropriate standard for your country or region. If a criminal were able to access the data on a dash cam, they could use it to work out where you live, where you work, what time you usually leave the house and where you go - not to mention being able to delete something incriminating from your recordings.

Many dashcams offer audible warnings if you’re driving too close to the car in front, drifting out of your lane, or even if you’re approaching a speed camera. Wifi
