A practical guide to choosing the right dashcam — resolution, front+rear, night vision, GPS, parking mode, and ADAS features explained.
# How to Choose the Right Dashcam for Your Car
With so many dashcam models available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Here is a practical guide to help you make the best decision.
## Key Factors to Consider
### 1. Video Resolution
- **1080p Full HD**: Good for basic recording and clear license plate capture
- **2K (1440p)**: Excellent balance of quality and storage
- **4K Ultra HD**: Best quality, ideal for capturing fine details like license plates at night
### 2. Front Camera Only vs. Front + Rear
A single front camera covers the most common accident scenarios. A **dual-channel system** (front + rear) provides complete coverage and is recommended for daily commuters.
### 3. Night Vision
Look for cameras with **Sony STARVIS** or similar low-light sensors. The DDPAI Z40 and Z90 series excel in night recording.
### 4. GPS Tracking
GPS records your speed and location alongside the video, which is valuable evidence in insurance claims.
### 5. Parking Mode
Essential if you park in public areas. Requires a **hardwire kit** for continuous power when the engine is off.
### 6. ADAS Features
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems warn you about lane departures, forward collisions, and speed camera alerts.
