Speaker 1: And this one's also interesting because as you can see, I think right through there, the GPS sensor is part of the mount and it becomes active with the camera once you attach this to the windshield and then plug the whole apparatus into the camera, which hangs here below. It's not really using an adhesive per se. But this one's interesting because it has one of those little sticky gummy suction cups on the back that you often see with phone mounts, for example, and that makes it a whole lot easier to move between cars. They tend to stick like mad and never let go. If you have multiple cars that you're gonna use your camera in, many of them use a permanent adhesive patch and that's great. Speaker 1: Now, before I show you the next camera, the n r beam gps, let me show you how I'm gonna mount it up here because you want to think about mounts. So this one uses entirely a wifi connection to your phone. If you want a screen on your dash cam, you want a bigger dash cam. Secondly, there's obviously no screen on this one. A lot of folks want 4K because it allows them to zoom in when they look at a clip later and maybe read a license plate that you couldn't read in 10 80 resolution. The downside of a tiny dash cam is what do you have to give up to get it this small? For example, on this one, which by the way is a quality brand name model, you still don't get 4K resolution today. Tiny cameras are in the spirit of those laws. You see some states regulate how big an object can be on your windshield or how much windshield it can cover or in what corner of it. All other things being equal, that's more than an aesthetic concern. A notoriously irritating and sometimes tricky thing to prove who did what. Some of them will look into the cabin, the so-called Uber view, right? And many of them also offer these add-on rear cameras that wire on a long cable back to your back window or backlight and look out at the world from the rear of your car. Many of these cameras have a rear view cam. So you've always got a pretty large wealth of clips going back in time to pull from. Do all of this by recording to an internal SD card, and once they fill that up with these clips, they then start to overwrite the oldest one first. That can be pretty handy stuff to have as long as they don't steal the dash cam And dash cams can be really useful when nobody's around, when your car's not running when it's parked, most of them have a mode where they will wake up from sleep and start to record if your car is bumped or even if motion detection tells them someone's casing your car. There are also times when dash cams are handy when an interaction with some authority doesn't go the way it should, and you'd like to be able to show that and not just say that. So it's not their word against yours, especially if it's a view to the rear of the car and you get rear-ended. You may say, Okay, that's just like perent interest except when you're in the accident and you'd like to be able to prove what really happened. They also capture tons of accident footage. They capture amazing things that perhaps nobody else would've videoed, had a dash cam not been running on a nearby car. In case you really don't know, I bet you actually do because you've seen the output of dash cams. Speaker 1: First of all, a quick refresher what a dash cam is. Let me show you why and examples of the features you make sure to consider. Why don't car makers build them in standard? I recommend the ladder. Why would you wanna record everything like that or Camp B? They're so cool. Speaker 1: When it comes to dash cams, you're probably in one of two camps, Camp A.
