How to choose the right dash cam for your car | AUTODOC
What to look for when choosing a video recorder
When choosing a video recorder, it is important to evaluate the technical parameters that directly determine its operating efficiency. The main aspects are image quality, night vision capabilities, GPS functionality and ease of installation. Let's take a closer look at these criteria.
Image resolution and viewing angle
The minimum standard is Full HD (1080p), but for even clearer images, it is worth choosing models with 2K (1440p) or 4K (2160p) resolution. Higher resolution makes it easier to recognize car license plates and signs, even in difficult weather conditions. This is especially useful if you need to provide video footage as evidence to insurance companies or in court.
A wider viewing angle (135°–170°) helps capture more of the road and surroundings, reducing blind spots. This is especially important when you want to ensure maximum event capture.
AUTOGARSAS.LT offers models that meet these requirements.
Night vision technologies
Since many traffic accidents occur in the dark, night vision quality is one of the most important criteria. Models with STARVIS™ CMOS or SONY Exmor sensors and infrared illumination ensure a clear image even in low light. HDR and WDR technologies help prevent too many dark or bright areas of the image, ensuring balanced image quality even in difficult conditions, such as winter.
AUTOGARSAS.LT offers models that have these features.
GPS functionality and its benefits
A GPS receiver allows you to record the location, speed and route of a vehicle. This data can be important evidence in the event of disputes or insurance. In addition, the GPS function allows you to track the vehicle's movements and create travel logs - useful for both business vehicles and family cars.
AUTOGARSAS.LT offers models with GPS function.
Installation options and ease of use
The way the recorder is mounted has a significant impact on its ease of use. The magnetic mount allows for quick attachment and removal of the device, the sticker ensures a permanent and discreet attachment, and the suction cup solution is versatile, although it may be less stable in the long run. WiFi connectivity makes it easy to transfer files to your phone, and automatic recording management protects important data from loss.
AUTOGARSAS.LT offers models with various installation options.
Security features
The G-sensor (shock sensor) automatically saves recordings in the event of an accident, and some models even send notifications to your phone if movement or impact is detected. It is also important to pay attention to the memory capacity and the cyclic recording function - older recordings are overwritten by new ones, but important moments are saved separately. It is recommended to choose models that support high-capacity microSD cards.
AUTOGARSAS.LT offers models that meet these requirements.

How do technical parameters affect functionality?
- Image resolution and viewing angle : High-definition models, such as 4K, provide extremely detailed recordings, making it easier to recognize small details, such as license plates. A wide viewing angle, such as 140° or even 160°, reduces blind spots and captures a wider view.
- Sensors : High-quality sensors such as STARVIS™ CMOS or Sony Exmor help maintain excellent image quality even in low light conditions, such as at night or in high contrast.
- Memory support : Most models support microSD cards from 32GB to 256GB, giving you the ability to record longer videos without the need to constantly overwrite old data.
- Additional cameras : Some models, like the Pioneer VREC-DZ700DC, have a built-in dual-camera system that allows you to record both the front and rear views simultaneously. Other models allow you to connect additional cameras as needed.
- Wi-Fi and GPS : Built-in Wi-Fi lets you quickly view or share videos directly from your phone. The GPS feature is useful for recording the exact location and speed of an event.
- Price : DVR prices range from ~€120 to ~€300. Price differences usually reflect different features, technologies, and overall quality of the device.
Each model has its own advantages, so the choice depends on your needs – whether you are most interested in the highest recording quality or additional features such as a dual-camera system or Wi-Fi connection.
Tips for installing and using video recorders
A properly mounted video recorder not only ensures high-quality recordings, but also does not impair the driver's visibility or the car's safety systems.
Best installation location
It is recommended to mount the recorder in the upper central part of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror. This location allows for optimal recording of the road and does not obstruct the driver's field of vision. It is also important that the camera falls within the wipers' operating area - this ensures a clear view even in the rain.
The device should be mounted in a way that does not interfere with airbags or other safety systems. Use the manufacturer's recommended mounting solutions, such as adhesive mounts or suction cups , to ensure the recorder is securely mounted and ready for use.
Benefits of professional installation
If you are using more complex models, such as two-chamber systems or devices that constantly require power from the car's electrical system, it is worth considering professional installation. AUTOGARSAS.LT offers professional installation services that ensure neat cable hiding and reliable connection to the electrical system.
This installation helps prevent interference with the car's electronics and reduces the risk of battery discharge, while the cables will be safely hidden so as not to interfere with the car's interior.
First configuration steps
Once you have installed the recorder, it is important to configure it properly. Set the correct date and time in 24-hour format, activate cyclic recording, and adjust the G-sensor sensitivity so that the device automatically records incidents.
If your dashcam has a parking mode, consider enabling it to monitor your car while it’s parked. It’s also a good idea to enable Wi-Fi or cloud connectivity so you can easily access your recordings.
File management and storage
To avoid data loss, use 32-128 GB Class 10/UHS-I microSD cards. Format the card periodically to avoid file errors.
Most recorders automatically overwrite the oldest files when the memory is full. However, save important recordings, especially after incidents, manually and create backups on your computer or in the cloud.
Legal requirements in Lithuania
In Lithuania, video recorders are allowed for personal use, but it is important to comply with data protection laws. Recordings should only be used for personal safety or as evidence in the event of a traffic accident.
If you intend to share recordings that show recognizable people or license plates publicly, it is essential to black out this information to avoid violating privacy requirements. Also, make sure that the recorder does not block the driver's view - an improperly installed device can result in a fine or a failure of the technical inspection.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps keep your recorder in good condition. Clean the camera lens, check cable connections, and update the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also, don't forget to format the memory card periodically to avoid file system errors.
