Questions before you buy
Can a car camera record while the car is off?
Yes, if the model supports parking mode and has a suitable permanent power source. A compatible hardwire kit or battery pack may be required.
Can a dash cam provide full car surveillance?
Not usually. Camera count, lens direction and obstructions create blind spots, so even multi-channel systems cannot guarantee complete coverage.
How long does parking surveillance footage stay saved?
That depends on storage capacity, recording quality, channel count and overwrite settings. Protected event clips may be handled differently from ordinary loop files.
Do I need to think about privacy when using an in-car camera?
Yes, especially if it records passengers, employees or footage for business use. The ICO provides guidance on video surveillance and data-protection responsibilities.
