Common questions
Questions before you buy
What does a super capacitor do in a dash cam?
It provides short-term energy so the camera can save the active file and shut down cleanly when vehicle power is removed.
Is a super capacitor dash cam better in hot weather?
Manufacturers such as VIOFO position supercapacitors as more suitable for temperature extremes than small lithium batteries. You should still follow the individual model's operating and storage limits.
Will a supercapacitor run parking mode by itself?
No. It is not intended to power hours of recording. Parking mode needs a supported external supply and suitable battery-protection controls.
Does a dash cam with super capacitor lose its settings?
Normal settings are stored separately, but date and time retention varies by model. Check the manual if the clock resets after the car has been unused.
