Do you
need dashcam with GPS?

In some countries, the installation of GPS
system is mandatory for dangerous goods transport vehicles, passenger vehicles,
logistics vehicles, buses, taxis and other vehicles. Also, they are required to
install on-board video recording.

If the dashcam is equipped with GPS function,
you can review the driving track through the mobile phone APP or platform. Some
have built-in GPS modules, and some need to be equipped with a GPS box. Then,
is location data is the only reason to have dashcam with GPS？

Is GPS
important on a dash cam?

After
attaching the GPS signal receiving module to the dashcam, the real-time
position of the vehicle can be located. The recorded video indicates the
current position of the vehicle. Also, the driver’s driving route, time, date
and speed can also be recorded.

GPS
module is an integrated circuit composed of RF chip, baseband chip, coreCPU,
and related peripheral circuits. Through this module, you realize locate and
navigate.

The GPS module of the dashcam is divided into built-in and external. As
for which one is better, it depends on its use scenarios. If the dashcam is
large and the GPS module is internal, the reception of the GPS antenna will be
affected, so the effect is not as good as the external one. If the GPS module
is built-in, the integration is relatively high and can save deploy costs.

What are the differences between the
dashcam with GPS and the onboard navigator?

1. Different
main functions

The GPS
function of the dashcam is to record the driving condition of the vehicle,
including GPS positioning and GPS trajectory records. It is a real-time record
with no navigation function. The main function of the navigators is navigation.
Some navigators have GPS route recording function.

2. Different
positioning

The
navigation device realizes map query, route planning, automatic navigation,
automatic voice guidance and other functions through GPS function, which plays
a role in assisting the driver to drive. The GPS functionof the dashcam is to
record the driving environment and prove the authenticity and validity of the
video.

3. Different roles

GPS functions are more important in navigators.
The map is displayed on the navigation terminal. At the same time, the
vehicle’s current position, speed, destination distance, planned route prompt
and driving information with turning prompt at the intersection are displayed.
However, the dashcam records the location information of the vehicle. It helps
enhance vehicle security and provide evidence against false claims.

Dashcam is a black box used by cars. By
starting the engine, it can immediately record the video and sound of vehicles
on the road through high-definition camera. When an accident occurs, evidence
will be provided immediately to protect the driver’s rights. After installing
the dashcam, the video image and sound of the whole driving process of the car
can be recorded. The internal sensor can set the sensitivity of the impact
force. When the external impact force is greater than the set threshold, the
on-site data leading to the impact force will be recorded, which can provide
evidence for traffic accidents and false fraud. For those who like road trips,
they can also use it to record how they conquered difficult or dangerous
situations. Also, It can be used for parking monitoring.
