How a Dash Cam different from an Action Camera
A dash cam is a device that is mounted on the windshield of the car or around the rearview mirror. These cameras are made aimed to continuously record videos while you are driven around. They are ideal for recording possible mishappenings to prove your innocence as a driver.
Action cameras are digital cameras intended to record action while you are being occupied in it. Action cameras are therefore typically compact and rugged, and waterproof at surface-level. They can be attached to helmets, bike handles or anywhere the both.
Automatic Power On/Off:
Most dash cams automatically power up as soon as the vehicle gets into the ignition, unlike an action cams. Dash cams memory store is not much of a concern as it saves your data on secure cloud storage. In action cameras, once the memory card is full, it will cease recording.
Impact Detection:
An Action camera does not come with G sensor technology and cannot detect any uncertainty. It will not send any alerts related to over speeding, AC on, start the trip, etc. A dash cam will isolate and store footage so there is no need to worry about missing important footages in crucial moments.
Safety and Durability:
Plain vanilla action cams come with normal rechargeable batteries that have a limited functioning period.
While a dash cam is plugged into the vehicle’s power outlet, and do not need a rechargeable battery. Even if the power is disconnected by any means, such dash cams have internal batteries that keep the device up and running.
Rear View Recording Capability:
The best way to protect your family and car is when a dash cam offers you views of both inside and outside the car and keeps you connected while on the go. It is significant that both the camera views are of high standard quality and durability for a worry-free drive. No such facility is available with action cameras.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind:
The problem with action cam is it needs to be remounted every time the user wants to use it. Manual removal of used videos; are weak battery performance could become are few of the drawbacks of action cameras. Whereas a dash cam once installed doesn’t need any more fixings. All that a user needs to do is sit back and let the dash cam record everything for you.
So, these were the differences between a dash cam and an action camera. Now imagine, all that is been told above is just a glimpse of what a dash cam does. But, with the changing technology, a blend of both Dashcam and GPS tracker has come to the market from KENT. The company has launched KENT CamEye, a next-gen car camera for ensuring the security of passengers inside a car. It is a dash cam cum GPS tracker that is loaded with cutting-edge technology-enabled features, which can offer complete peace of mind to its owners and help them to live safely.
The device is a 4G powered, mobile app-based device that can be installed on the front windshield of the car. It can be synced with Android or iOS devices. Recorded videos and historical data for 90 days are stored in the cloud. It has a 3,000 mAh battery and 8 GB memory for when the car is parked or out of network coverage area.
The device uses Artificial Intelligence to detect uncertainties. It has a driver detection feature that can alert the owner if an unknown person is driving the vehicle. Alerts are sent when something suspicious is happening, loud noise levels are heard, the engine is running idle for a long duration of time or when the driver sleeps in the car with AC ON.
Unlike a mass of devices available in the market that capture data from the car’s sensors, KENT CamEye uses on-board sensors to capture the data. It has various sensors like GPS, temperature, accelerometer, and light. Moreover, it doesn’t tamper with the car’s warranty as it doesn’t need a connection to the car’s OBD port or hardwiring with the car’s battery.
This Fleet Tracking Device is available on Amazon and can be bought at a price of Rs.17999 and comes with 3 months of free subscription. To book a free demo you can simply call 011-66765030 and sharing your details.
