Top 10 Best Dual Lens Car Camera Reviews

Dashboard cameras are very valuable for many reasons, and the dual lens systems are even much more valuable. They are fun, they can be used to capture beautiful moments, and they can even be used as evidence to prove your case in situations like accidents, as well as in reporting bad drivers. All these advantages make having a dash cam a necessity, especially a dual lens cam, and this review is aimed at providing you with enough guidance, so that you can make the right dual lens camera purchase decision.

Dual Lens Dashboard Camera Purchase Considerations

In order to make the right dashboard camera choice that is perfect for you, it is necessary that you understand some of the terms that surround dashboard cameras, and what they actually mean. Following is a list of the major terms.

– Auto Record

This is the ability of the camera system to start recording on its own, without your having to press a button. The system could use motion detection to know when to start, or it could also start after ignition of the vehicle.

– Wide Angle Lens

A wide angle lens is a technology that allows a camera to pick up a wider area of a scene, from a relatively close range. This is turn provides you with more data.

– Memory Capacity

This refers to the video recording capacity of the system. Most systems will support memory cards of up to 32GB of storage capacity, although some will support up to 500GB. 32GB can hold up to 4-5 hours of compressed HD video. If you need longer videos, then you need a system that supports larger memory cards, or you can just switch cards.

– HD or Full HD

HD video is video with 720 horizontal lines (1,280 x 720 pixels), while Full HD provides 1,080 horizontal lines (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). Although Full HD has almost become standard in single dashboard camera systems, dual lens cameras with only HD resolution are still considerable because of the toll that processing two Full HD streams can place on the system.

– G Sensor

A G-Sensor is used to detect forceful impacts on the vehicle. If detected, the recorded video will be saved separately in a secured mode that cannot be overwritten by loop-recording.

– Loop Recording

Loop recording is the process of simply overwriting previously recorded video with new ones, once the storage medium has reached full capacity. This means that once your 32GB microSD card is full for example, the system will just jump back to the beginning of the card and continue recording from there.

– GPS Capability

Some systems will create GPS timestamps of your locations and save them with the video.

– Night Vision Capability

Some cameras will have infra-red LEDs that shine a light invisible to the human eye, but visible to cameras at night. This way, you can also record videos at night.

– Frames Per Second

This is the number of pictures that is recorded per second. The standard is 30 Frames Per Second (FPS), although 60 FPS systems are possible, as well as other higher resolution systems.
