Solution to the cons: 1. Use both front & back dashcams for max coverage 2. Don’t use cabin dashcam unless you’re an Uber driver 3. Keep the Mic off all the times 4. In case of any accidents, immediately remove the dashcam. Use the footage only if it’s benificial for you 😅

[@psvasu23]

I agree. Talking about data leak using dash cam is ridiculous !!! You are already sharing an unknown amount of private information to multiple applications including Google !!

[@kamalaksh.shenoy]

Well, I do not have a dash cam. BUT - 1st the 360 degree coverage is available with 70mai and DDPAI dashcams. It is an additional component for cabin coverage. Mostly useless for private drivers but very useful and helpful for drivers who are on hire. They can record and challenge misbehaviour/lies of passengers. Quite widely used in countries like US. - Battery drain is negligible. One can disconnect the dashcam if one intends not to use the car for sometime. But it is not a major issue as cars HAVE to run at least on alternative days. Generally if a car does not run on an average 20-30km/day, it is not a worthwhile expense. On the contrary its a very wrong choice and complete waste of money. - Wiring: People should always go to car showroom service centers where there are many a time professionals available for fitting and it can be done professionally. - If you use ANY phone other than Pixel, iPhone or Samsung AND if you use any app on the android which is not carefully evaluated by Android then anyway you are hacked or data is compromised. If you are so much concerned about privacy the better not use any smartphone. Besides, knife can kill so does it mean knife should not be kept at home in kitchen for cooking purposes? Then the same argument with Smartphones and data security. As long as you buy phone manufactured by CHINESE companies which are owned by CHINA or CHINESE like Oppo, Vivo, ...etc. your data is anyway compromised. - regarding legal. Do you think ur dashcam is the ONLY camera in the town? There are many CCTVs installed at many places like residential buildings, apartments, shops, malls, offices, ...etc. which capture entrance, premises and also many a times roads. If a conglomeration of images are done from many cameras around one can easily identify who is at fault. This police does use this when there is crime or accidents. IMPORTANTLY these days I have seen city administration implementing a lot of camera at various points in city. And I guess this is to keep a check on speed and in case of accidents on the event. There are different cameras installed by gov for different purposes. Speed camera are different from monitoring cameras at junction. Besides with HSRP reaching 100% implementation in next 5-7 years, the cameras installed by city administration can easily read the number plate and solve a lot issues. When I say city administration I mean cities outsides of major metros and major cities. It is almost getting implemented everywhere now but slowly of course. But till I guess there is at least 90% HSRP implementation, they will not force it for legal purposes. Besides, it is always better to drive sensibly presuming that you are always under watch and under the speed of 40 in town and unde 70 or 80 at max on empty highways. Because NO Indian road is built to sustain a speed of 70 or more. In fact 60 or more. - On legal implications, dashcams GO A LONG WAY in HELPING drivers because Indian law is skewed in favour of pedestrians and 2 wheelers who drive crazy and are born to drive rash (most of them) without complying with any rule of the land. And after accident many a times it is difficult to prove to police that mistake was not of the car driver.

[@maheshy1]

thanks for your feedback. since you have devoted a lot of time in helping me out, I ought to give weight to each point you have raised. I'll go through them later, may be over the weekend and hope that we can have a enlightening argument.

[@sayanmukherjee1630]

This actually makes sense.... Having dashcams comes at a privacy risk but if used carefully and not connected to smartphones all the time, they behave as standalone devices, and as for the wiring goes, if you donnot use the hardwired kit for parking surveillance, then there is no battery drain as the cam is on only when the car is on, also doesn't void warranty. It's always better to be a responsible driver so that driving behavior and intent cannot be used against you, at the same time providing video evidence against any mishaps due to outside negligence. As far as I am concerned, cabin dashcams are not useful for personal vehicles, maybe for commercial vehicles, but front and rear dashcams are must on Indian roads

[@Lee.S]

I agree with you completely. Most dashcams sold today save their video logs on the memory card and not in cloud storage. So I don't understand how the data is compromised. Regarding wiring, it can be installed neatly even without any professionals help. I installed it myself and there are no rattles. There are plenty of DIY YT videos to help install these dashcams. Nowadays companies sell with OBD2 port connections to keep the USB free. Whichever the case, it will never mess with the warranty or the battery.

[@maheshy1]

@@Lee.S Cool. Thanks for your insight. I have used OBD diagnostics device and it used to drain my car's battery. So, I decided to use it only when I see the check engine light. About the data theft, it remains on the camera SD card. But there's nothing stopping the company from discretely moving a few files and uploading them to their servers. At least the ones we transfer from the card to the device are obviously more susceptible to data theft. Even if they intend to use the data for positive purposes, the risk of hack remains a threat. May be i'm just way too paranoid. But i'll rather be safe than sorry.

[@Lee.S]

@maheshy1 dashcam technology is very simple and effective. I've been using dashcams for more than 5 years and never faced any problems. I installed by myself all my dashcams. The newer ones have become more easier to install with OBD2 connections (keeping the USB free) and local WiFi connectivity for easy access to the memory card records. The app interface is basically to access the records and some additional features. All features can be switched on or off once connected. And this works only through the dashcam's WiFi (no internet, no sim). The other way is to remove the sd card directly from the dashcam and upload it to your laptop directly (no phone interface needed). But you won't be having your laptop all the time. You are paranoid but if it is true, I would be worried more about my personal data in my phone rather than my dashcam records.

[@sastrych7866]

wow stunning .... just i was checking for best dashcams on youtube and suddenly this video came in the feed and completely changed the point of view ..... the way you look at the other side of the coin is simply sublime .... thanks for the 10 odd minutes valuable information ... love you sir

[@AM-SD]

Coz google knows everything

[@RahulDebAru]

Points are well explained. I feel the use of dashcam is a must, provided we are controlling the actual usage when time comes. For example, I had a dashcam footage that helped to claim insurance without any hassle. But I went for dashcam manufacturers/apps that do not have auto cloud upload type of options. My front dashcam is also hardwired to battery to provide sentry mode for a couple of days. If battery voltage protection setting is there, it is fine to use that feature. Coming to the wiring part, i went for two separate dashcams. Front is hardwired, rear is connected to a 12V socket in the boot. But I agree this setup will vary greatly from car to car.

[@investpurchaseetc4334]

How to deal with cons 1. Wiring/Panel Fitting => Get it done with professional service 2. Limited coverage => No deal breaker, somthing is better than nothing 3. Battery Drain => Do not hardwire or start your car frequently 4. Insurance claim rejection => Do not share footage unless it is fully clear that there was no fault on our side 5. Privacy risk => Do not do sensitive talk/act in your vehicle 6. Data security => If it is not connected to internet, no data security risk. While connecting with dashcam using Hotspot, put your phone in airplane mode 7. Legal implications Consult a lawyer before sharing the footage for favorable judgement

Hi, I think Dash Cam can be more useful in Commercial Vehicles cabs like OLA/Uber and also in Schools Cabs/ Buses for enhancing & ensuring safe driving by driver, security, as well as monitoring in case of any mishap, conflicts etc. The recorded video link in case of OLA/Uber may shared with user after completion of trip and shall be accessible for few days. It can be easily integrate with trip start and stop as well. And I thought being public vehicle, there will be no issue of privacy.

Bro don't be an idiot. Buy the dashcam. The day you get into an accident with a two wheeler, the mob will beat you up first even if it was not your fault because bigger vehicle is always assumed to be guilty. Even if mob does nothing, family of two wheeler guy will file FIR against you if the biker dies. Then you will have no evidence to prove your innocence. In 90% of cases, judge will sympathize and side with the poor victim if no counter evidence is provided. Dashcam is like an insurance policy. You may never need it but when you do, you will wish you had it.

Sometimes dashcams (3rd party) might cause void of warranty. I heard a case of a car catching fire due to dashcam. In these cases, warranty/insurance might be void if you used 3rd party dashcam

[@maheshy1]

that's probably just manufacturer and insurance saving themselves from a warranty/insurance claim. i've heard dealers saying that manufacturer won't give you warranty coverage if you get seatcovers from an unauthorized dealer. mind you, i heard this some 4-5 years ago and this was about a car without thorax airbags. it's profits-over-people for them all the way.

is a normal dashcam connected through cigarette port which gets powered on only when car is on (turns off when car is turned off) bad for car battery? will it eventually result in low battery and car starting problems

[@maheshy1]

yes. OBD connected cams may draw power when parked. although, some accessory shops offer the option of connecting the 12v socket to direct battery. i remember, i was offered that option in our family car. since i didn[t know much, i just asked them to make it like oem functionality.

[@sumitmadan007]

Yup. Sharp vision. Very few people even know that it's there. I didn't have a tiny usb cable. all dashcams come with a super long cable. connecting that cable with the mirror wouldn't have helped with clearing the clutter. The easy wiring solution is the only reason i even volunteered to review dashcams. We have a few lying around and they're eating dust in a corner. If I find one that meets most of my requirements (cost, value, features, privacy), I may consider installing one in the Comet. Just the front cam.

In today's life that's the only way to achieve this.

[@maheshy1]

I'm grateful that you took the time to comment and express your concerns. since there's no new information to add, here's a copy of a reply to similar issue from another viewer: perhaps you didn't hear about people getting beaten up and put in jail during covid for not having arogya setu app. imagine justifying to a cop that you don't have a smartphone. They only started taking it easy after the courts intervened and made it clear that the app is optional. If they really cared about the safety, they could have asked google and apple to do it. But they wanted unfiltered access to our data, which google and apple clearly weren't willing to share. so, sharing info with google isn't the same as sharing it with the entire world. I should also mention that the google app on my phone doesn't even have mic access. I'm sure if they wanted to access my mic, they could. But i do what i can. I truly fantasize about living off grid on a farm growing my own fresh and organic produce. I wish i could stop using the smartphone. I use it out of necessity more than convenience.

Dash cam comes as a aftermarket accessories, installation of the same will void cars warranty. Though in countries like usa car manufacturers or dealers cannot do such immoral things thanks to Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ,meanwhile in india we can only hope if govt is serious about consumer rights . Also few car manufacturers such as suzuki and honda have started providing dash cam as accessories,at MRP plus labour charge .

360 degree camera already there than making it Dashcam enabled is not big deal for Major Car makers . And user is ready to pay.

[@maheshy1]

that 360 camera is for watching the curb. mostly pointed downwards. so it won't see the car racing down to T-bone your car.

It surely has dropped the mileage for me by 1-2 kmpl in city driving.

[@maheshy1]

mileage should not go down with dashcam even if it's hardwired. it must be something else. check tyre pressure or alignment.

[@nitsnik]

Ohh okay. Yesterday I unplugged the dashcam and felt the mileage improved by 1-2 kmpl. Anyway I will keep monitoring it along with your input.

@@nitsnik Try this: tank up everytime and reset the trip meter. note the trip reading when the low fuel warning comes up. when you do this a few times, you'll know the baseline range you should get from a normal tank full to low fuel warning. if your range fluctuates significantly, then something is wrong. otherwise, the mielage also fluctuates because of weather, load, driving style, driving conditions, tyre pressure, alignment.
