Currently there are a lot of dashboard car camera brand and models on the market with different technical specifications.For common consumer,we may focus more on the camera pixels.Currently 1080p or 1296p dashboard camera is very common on the market,1440p dashboard camera is still not very common as they are mainly used on high end car.Is it the truth that 1296p dashboard camera is better than 1080p dashboard camera ? This should be discussed.

For anti road fraud purpose dashboard camera, 1080p definition is clear enough, too high definition will greatly reduce the sd card life as well as reducing the recording time. In addition, due to each pixel lighting lux reduced for 1296p dashboard camera,the night vision effect can be worse, it is not worth to do that.

We may experience this: when we watch 720p video or film on the computer from internet, ,720p video has been very clear, even up to 1080p source, definition is not obvious improved,but your surfing speed will be affected a lot. That is because of 1080p video size is two times compared with 720p video, and 1296p video size is around 1.4 times of 1080p video.That is,for a same SD card,storage the 1290p video not only the video recording time reduced by 30%, but also greatly increase repeated reading and writing times,which would definitely reduce the SD card life span.

Similarly, 24 fps of the video has been very clear and smooth,increasing 30 fps to 60 fps , will also cause reducing of video record time, and shorter SD card life span.

Consumers should focus on practicability and durability of dashboard camera, not the higher technical parameters the better.

Talking about car black box, it is easy to think of the black box on the plane. At the same time,consumer may also mess it up with dashboard camera . In foreign countries, dashboard camera and car black box are two completely different concepts.

The first car black box was installed in 1996, and now up to 90% of the new cars are equipped with car black box. car owners generally do not aware of because they are installed under the seat or under the dashboard, activated 5 seconds before the airbag is opened. Therefore, the car black box really is a small black box indeed. For most people, they may not able to tell whether their car is equipped with a car black box or not, because it is too invisible. Dashboard camera has a video recording function. These dashboard camera are usually mounted on windshields and consist of a camera ,processing unit and storage disk ( usually it is a sd card ).The video captured in the dashboard camera is automatically stored in the sd card, which can be viewed on the computer,or even instantly viewed by mobile ( it requires the dashboard camera has WiFi connection function ) or by lcd car monitor. The video recorded by dashboard camera is more accurate and comprehensive then pre-installed car black box by car manufacturer, as it records the time, location of vehicle, and the driver’s vision as well. That is why dashboard camera is more powerful for evidence proving, such as when you want to prove that you are passing a yellow light instead of running a red light.

In a brief way, dashboard camera and car black box have below 4 significant differences:
1. Dashboard camera consist of a camera, a monitor ( optional ), data cards and data access socket and so on. While the car black box is more close to the name of “black box” , usually comes in a small Quartet black box shape.

3. Video captured by dashboard camera is more accurate and comprehensive because it also records the time,location of vehicle, and the driver’s vision. The recorded video is automatically stored in the sd card,you can access these videos easily.The car black box records the speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking of the vehicle within 5 seconds before the collision.It is not easy to get these data from car black box. In most case,only car manufacturers can access these data.

4. Dashboard camera,as long as it connected to the car circuit, they will automatic start.it is very necessary for dashboard camera to start up automaticlly, as you may miss recording videos because of such a repeated action.The car black box is totally different, the researchers’ developing purpose of car black box is to track the reasons for the activation of airbags. Therefore, it is only activated a few seconds before the collision event, and this activation method has continued till today.
