Vehicle-mounted camera

A fender-bender is never convenient, and having four angles of footage instead of one is the difference between a "he said, she said" and a clear answer. This dash cam mounts to the windshield and runs a front lens plus cabin, left, and right side cameras simultaneously, so a lane-change dispute, a parking-lot scrape, or a disputed light color all get caught on video from more than one direction.

The front lens shoots 1080p with an f/1.8 aperture and WDR, so it holds up during a night drive or a sudden shift from a bright street into a dark underpass, and 8 IR LEDs light up the cabin view once the sun goes down. A built-in G-sensor locks and protects footage automatically the moment it senses a collision, and loop recording keeps writing over the oldest clips so the card never fills up and stops recording mid-drive. An optional hardwire kit turns on 24-hour parking mode, so a hit-and-run in a lot or a break-in attempt gets caught even with the engine off.

Everything's viewable on the built-in 3.16-inch screen or over WiFi through a companion app on iOS or Android, for pulling a clip to share or checking the view without touching the memory card. It takes a microSD card up to 128GB, charges over Type-C, and is rated to keep running from -20°C to +70°C, so it holds up through a real winter or a hot summer dash without cutting out.
