The dashboard cameras are available in every conceivable configuration, ranging from a single lens to multiple lenses that allow simultaneous front and rear recording. The demand for single channel dashboard cameras is growing rapidly, due to the rising demand for dashboard cameras among motorists, owing to its usefulness in filing insurance claims, procurement of evidence for civil and criminal lawsuits, and other safety concerns.

Voxx International, one of the players, showcased its new 360Fly single lens 360 action camera. The ability of this system to provide mobility without a processor can be further extended to automotive applications, to obtain better-processed images. Further, the usage of wide-angle lenses in automotive camera modules is witnessing increasing adoption, due to a wide field-coverage and enhanced picture quality.

OEMs are exploring safety solutions that capture blind spots on the road. Thus, this technology is being adopted rapidly, on a large-scale. Single-channel dashboard cameras are relatively cheaper in comparison to the dual-channel dash cams, which further plays a vital role in influencing the consumers' purchasing opinion.

Basic Technology is Expected to Hold Major Share

Basic dashboard cameras are affordable (ranging from USD 20 to USD 100) and usually have limited features, compared to other dashboard cameras. This segment has witnessed rapid adoption of full HD dashboard cameras, which are fast replacing SD dashboard cameras. Basic dashboard cameras are in-vehicle cameras with built-in or removable storage media, which continually record driving, with no additional feature. Dashboard cameras are being installed with the intention of gathering evidence, in the event of a road traffic accident.

Major taxi service provider companies install dash cams in their taxis, to film the passenger area, for example, to increase taxi drivers' safety or to combat theft and vandalism. The basic dashcams are in-car cameras with built-in/removable storage media that constantly record driving, with no additional feature. In addition to basic practices of dash cams, advanced cameras offer much smarter features, such as audio recording, GPS logging, speed sensors, accelerometers, and uninterrupted power supply.

Also, benefiting from the trend of these dashboard cameras, a group of startups in the United States have developed an innovative business model, wherein they offer monetary rewards to drivers for installing dashboard cameras in their vehicles. The aim is to collect dash cam, recorded data, and ultimately aid technology companies in building maps for self-driving cars. As a result, an increasing number of ride-hailing service providers across North America, such as Lyft and Uber, have begun deploying in-car DVRs to record their rides.
