Is It Worth Having A Dash Cam?
Yes, owning a dual front-and-rear dash cam is a very worthwhile investment, because it can record both the front and rear of your car.
If an accident occurs, you’ll have video evidence to prove it wasn’t your fault, and demand compensation from the other driver.
This will potentially saving you thousands of dollars. Additionally, it can protect your vehicle while parked without draining your car battery.
Does Dash Cam Only Work When Car Is On?
No, a dash cam can also work when the car is parked, after connect the hardwire kit to your vehicle's fuse box.
This allows dash cam to continue operating while parked. Meanwhile, hardwire kit have low-voltage protection features.
Dash cam will automatically shut off when the voltage drops below 11.8V to prevent draining your vehicle’s battery.
There’s an exception: if your car’s power remains active while parked, a Dash Cam connected via the cigarette lighter will continue working until the battery is drained, as it lacks low-voltage protection.
This is something you need to be aware of.

Dash Cams are typically equipped with a 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz Wi-Fi module, allowing you to wirelessly transfer videos stored on the Dash Cam to your smartphone.

For Dash Cams without Wi-Fi, you have to connect them to a computer or use a card reader to access the videos.
