Have you ever been in a situation where something happened while you were driving in your car or SUV, and you wished you had a camera capturing the event?

Enter the Dash Cam Universe. A Dash Cam or DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is a compact video camera that mounts on top of the car's windshield, behind the rearview mirror, and continuously records video and audio as you drive.

Have you ever heard of a staged collision or an accident? These are maliciously planned accidents or staged road rage incidents, and are designed to make it look as though you are at fault so that the other party can file a claim against you and defraud you.

Without a witness, there’s no way to prove your innocence, and you’re stuck in an uncomfortable situation. Now Suppose you have a dashcam recording everything that happens in front of and behind your vehicle. In that case, these unfortunate scenarios will quickly turn into fraud charges against the person or people who have attacked you. Also one can use the recorded Videos to speed up insurance claims if needed.

On the chaotic roads, the possibilities are endless. Every Now and then, you’ll see someone do something that leaves you frustrated. Whether it’s driving the wrong way, jumping a red light or a near-miss with your car, these sort of things happen all the time.

While it’s not safe to confront such drivers exhibiting poor driving behaviour, you can share a video of their exploits with the police or social media. Having a dashcam makes that easy.

Dash Cams can also be used to capture the scenic experiences on our highways & also to Monitor Driving Behaviour of Chauffeur driven cars or even Fleets & Commercial Vehicles.

1. Sensor Resolution and Image Quality: Most Dash Cams descriptions are based on the resolution (image sensor) of the primary forward-facing camera (Front Camera). These sensors are available in 1080P or FHD (1920×1080), 2K or QHD (2560×1440), and 4K or UHD (3840×2160) resolutions. While more resolution often means more information will be captured, the video compression, contrast/exposure settings, and the quality of the optics play a huge role in determining the clarity of items like license plates.
2. Comparison of Models: A high-quality 2K camera from INAXES, like the DC201 (2K Front) & DC202PRO (2K Front + Rear), may outperform an unbranded 4K Camera. At the same time, our top-of-the-line flagship DC402PRO (4K Front + FHD Rear, with Sony Starvis Image Sensor) leaves most other Dash Cams in the market lagging behind. For a more affordable solution, our entry-level FHD Model (DC101, only Front) is an adequate, inexpensive, user-friendly & good entry-level option compared to cheaper unbranded 2K variants.
3. Number of Channels: INAXES offers Dash Cams in Single Channel, Only Front Recording (DC101 & DC201), and Dual Channel, Front + Rear Recording (DC202 PRO & DC402 PRO). The Rear camera can be installed inside the vehicle to record the driver and occupants' behavior or be mounted in the rear windshield to capture what happens behind the vehicle.
4. Wi-Fi & APP Connectivity: Gone are the days when you had to remove the memory card from the dash cam & put it in your Laptop or PC to view the recorded videos. All our INAXES Dash Cams have built-in Wi-Fi hotspots that allow you to connect your iPhone or Android Phone through the INAXES APP to view, download & share the video files directly.
5. Wi-Fi Speed: Most cameras are quite slow, and the download process is agonizing. All Dual Channel INAXES Dash Cams, i.e., DC402 PRO & DC202 PRO, have the option of 5G & 2.5G WiFi Speed for faster download. Our Single Channel Dash Cams, i.e., DC101 & DC201, offer 2.5G, which is pretty good for Single Channel Dash Cams. Better to take a demonstration of download speed before your purchase.
6. Data Privacy & Security: Most Dash Cam brands available in the market use third-party APPs to use the Dash Cams, which is a major concern when you think about data privacy & security issues. INAXES India, an Indian Company, has its own Made & Hosted in India APP. Also, since we don’t collect any data from the users, nor do we store any videos on our APP, it’s totally safe regarding Data Privacy concerns.
7. GPS & G-Sensor Feature: Most good-quality Dash Cams include a GPS receiver so that the Dash Cam can store vehicle position and speed information with the video. This feature allows the video to overlap with Google Map so that we can view the video along with the route on a map, i.e., movement of the vehicle from Point A to Point B during the course of the video. All models of INAXES Dash Cams have the GPS feature, i.e., DC402 PRO, DC202 PRO & DC201, except the entry-level DC101 FHD Model. All INAXES Dash Cams come with G-Sensor, also known as gravity sensor, which gets triggered whenever there is a sudden jerk or spike in any axis. Whenever the G-Sensor triggers, the video during the trigger gets stored in a separate folder, called emergency videos, so that they are easily accessible & are not deleted during loop recording.
8. HardWire Kit: INAXES Dash Cams can be installed through different options:
   • Option 1: Car Cigar Lighter Socket - recording starts & ends with the car ignition.
   • Option 2: Hardwire Kit - connected to the fuse box, enabling continuous recording even when ignition is off.
   • Option 3: OBD Plug-N-Play Hardwire Kit - best for high-end cars and requires expert installation.
9. Parking Mode: All INAXES Dash Cams have an optional Parking Mode, requiring a Hardwire Kit to function. In Parking Mode, once the ignition is turned off, the dashcam switches to Time-Lapse Recording Mode and stores videos when an impact is detected (using G-Sensor).
10. Super Capacitors: INAXES dash cams use Super Capacitors as a built-in power source to handle extreme weather conditions, avoiding issues like battery bulging or explosions common with lithium batteries in some unbranded dash cams.
11. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System): The INAXES DC402 PRO includes ADAS features like Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS), Pedestrian Crossing Warning Systems (PCWS), Front Collision Warning System (FCWS), and Front Car Moving Detection (FCMD).
12. Memory Card Compatibility & Storage: INAXES Dash Cams are only compatible with U3 & Class 10 specification memory cards. INAXES also offers its own memory cards designed specifically for Dash Cams.
