Cars drive in different environments and dashcams need to immediately respond to lighting, temperature, and weather conditions. Dashcam manufacturers are now very concerned about whether their products can maintain image quality in various scenarios such as the night, when the sun is out, or when it’s raining. This has been a real challenge for many manufacturers.
Actual Dashcam Performance in Various Scenarios
Other than the day and night, there are also many different scenarios where cars are driving on the road. These different scenarios often affect the performance of the dashcam, for example:
- Bright lights in tunnels and indoor parking lots changing rapidly
- Streets when the sunlight shines constantly shines through trees
- At night when only faint traffic signals light up
- Vehicle lights from oncoming traffic
- Strong sunlight from the sunset
To test the performance of dashcams in these scenarios, many manufacturers will optimize their products with the following technologies. This is so dashcams can output high-quality image quality no matter the conditions.
- A lens with a wider aperture
- Better camera sensors
- HDR technology
- Auto alignment, auto exposure, and auto white balance synchronization
