Will the dash cam still work when the car is parked?

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the driving recorder has become one of the regular car equipment for car owners. The driving recorder can record the pictures and sounds in the process of driving, which provides a strong evidence for the owner . However, some car owners raised a question: Will the dash cam still work when the car is parked?


We need to clarify the working principle of the driving recorder. The driving recorder records the picture and sound of the vehicle in real time through the camera and microphone installed in the car, and stores these data in the built-in storage device.


When the vehicle collides or encounters other dangerous situations, the driving recorder will automatically save the latest records for subsequent viewing and analysis.


Do dash cams still work when the car is parked? The answer is yes. Although the vehicle is not moving, the dash cam will continue to record the picture and sound inside the car.


This is because the driving recorder is usually connected to the vehicle's power system, as long as the vehicle's power supply is in a normal state, the driving recorder can work normally.


In a parking lot or other parking scenes, the driving recorder can record the situation around the vehicle, such as the parking status of other vehicles, the activities of pedestrians, etc.


These records can not only be used as evidence for accident investigation, but also help car owners understand the environment around the vehicle and discover potential risks in time.


In addition, some high-end dash cams also have some special functions, such as loop recording and motion detection.


Loop recording allows the driving recorder to record images uninterruptedly and automatically overwrites old records to ensure efficient use of storage space. The motion detection function allows the driving recorder to automatically start recording when it detects abnormal activities around the vehicle, improving the timeliness and accuracy of the recording.


To sum up, the driving recorder will still work when the car is parked, continuously recording the pictures and sounds in the car. This provides car owners with more assurance, not only as evidence in accident investigations, but also to help car owners understand what's going on around their vehicles. Therefore, whether it is driving or parking, the driving recorder is an indispensable helper for car owners.
