The Future of Dashcams
Today Some Dashcams still lack the video quality for capturing plates. Features for recording events and downloading/ posting videos are just not quite there yet. But in the future capturing, posting videos and reporting drivers will be much more simple.
Dashcams will eventually be on all vehicles whether you like it or not. Many new cars already have front and rear cameras. Your car’s front camera is part of your vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and your rear camera is your backup camera. They will one day be recording the world around you. Dashcams will be included in a larger system that will resemble something similar to black boxes on airplanes. You may not even be able to turn them off , especially if you lease or finance a vehicle or have certain car insurance companies.
These Future Dashcam Systems will:
-use multiple cameras to record the entire road around you.
-Record data including speed, location, driving conditions
-be able to automatically read plates in the dashcam videos
-be able to automatically share footage to law enforcement, insurance companies etc…
-automatically detect accidents and save footage
-be connected to central standard network for Reporting dashcam videos (something similar to current doorbell apps which connect local communities and share videos easily)
What dashcams should do
- An event button should be able to report an even amount of time before and after the event lock button is pressed. This would ensure the entire event is recorded.
- Every time you press the lock / event button it saves directly to your phone.
- The dashcam app has Plate recognition software that will automatically record the license plates of the vehicles in the video
- The dash cam app on your phone should have all the tools to crop and trim a video without using another app.
- Recognize plates and will warn you when it sees a plate that was reported by another driver. “Use caution Unsafe driver in the Area”
