Asus Dashcam hands-on: Recording your journey on the go - Pocket-lint.com
Dashcams are pretty much standard in Russia, but the dashboard camera is slowly making its way to the UK too, and one of the companies that is letting you record your journeys on the road, is Asus. The new model from the company comes with a windscreen mount, detachable camera unit, GPS module, and a power cable long enough to snake around your dash so it remains hidden rather than dangling in your field of view. A screen on the camera unit lets you access menus and see what you are recording, but an auto time-out on the screen means it is not a distraction while driving, even if all those cables are. The first is to have it constantly record in 5 minute chunks the moment you turn the car on, wiping the older videos as it runs out of space. The second is an emergency recording mode can either be triggered by you pressing a physical button on the device the moment something happens, or by using the Bump Auto Record setting that allows you to set the collision intensity level that... The recording is saved to a protected area of the card that isn't overwritten by the normal recording mode. Videos are stored on to a removable micro SD card and you can change the quality of the video and whether you have audio turned on. The higher the resolution the bigger microSD card you'll need.
