Dedicated Car Dashcam vs Smartphone Dash Cam AppVovchik писал(а):Чиста вопрос - в гугольном магазине для андройдов напишем даш кам. И вылетает куча бесплатных аппликух. Тож самое для яблока телефона. На фиг тогда отдельную камеру покупать? Это как нынче с жпс - гугло навигатор заменяет жпс.
Although indeed there are apps available for iPhone, Android and Blackberry, there are some significant disadvantages to turn your smartphone into a dashboard camera.
Smartphone has a smaller Field of View, meaning to say you capture less details. This is important because the whole point of having a dash cam is to capture as much details as possible. Most smartphone comes with a Medium / Standard FOV, whereas a dedicated DashCam has a wide FOV. This is a hardware issue, no app can ever solve this.
Dedicated Dash Cam comes with a sensitive sensor for night time shooting, smartphone doesn’t have a night mode.
Possible overheating or locking up due to long hours of usage.
Shortened lifespan of smartphone and SD-memory card, because smartphones are not build to record video none stop, it might break at any moment, if you are unlucky, it might break when you needed it the most.
The only advantage you have is money. You do not have a spend a single cent if you already own an old unused smartphone. Works great on Android 8.0 Oreo / Android 9.0 [ Popsicle, Pancakes or Pie ] smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy, Huawei Mate, Oppo, Vivo, XiaoMi, and Nokia.
