Image quality and viewing angle

A few people think it's enough to have just any camera. However, it turns out that low quality cheap equipment can be unreliable. Poor image quality will cause that not all details will be recorded. Sometimes it is impossible to verify the most important, small elements, which will prove the fault of a particular driver. Therefore it is worth to take care of this aspect. You don't have to decide on a camera that records in 4K - such films, although of excellent quality, will take up a lot of space on the memory card. It is considered that it will be enough to buy a car camera that records at least 1280x720 (HD) resolution. The angle of view of the camera will also be important. The larger the field, the wider the device will capture. It is worth taking care of the widest possible viewing angle, so that all lanes and roadsides will be recorded. It will be easy to a crash on the next lane and so on.

Night mode

It's during the nighttime that many drivers make mistakes, when you press the gas pedal harder to get to your destination as quickly as possible. At night, many people get sleepy, drunk drivers go on the road and many people stop paying attention to speed limits. An ordinary camera may not be able to record late hour events. This is why it is worthwhile to equip yourself with a device that will also record collisions in the dark without any problems.

Motion sensor and memory

One of the best solutions will be to buy a camera that has a motion sensor. The camera will then switch on automatically when the car is in motion. What is important is that the events during a stopover will also be recorded, for example when another car hits us on the parking lot. This will enable you to detect the perpetrator. Camera's memory is very important - it is the recording of traffic situations that is most important. The bigger memory cards the camera supports, the better.
