A dash cam records your drive so you have footage if something happens on the road. This guide covers the decisions that actually change what you should buy, then compares the AutoYu range.
1. How many channels do you need?
"Channels" means cameras. A single channel records the road ahead. A dual-channel (2-channel) setup adds a rear camera. A 3-channel setup adds interior coverage as well, which matters most to commercial and ride-share drivers. More channels means more wiring at installation.
2. Recording resolution
Higher resolution makes details such as number plates easier to read. The AutoYu range covers 1080p rear cameras, 4K and 6K front recording.
3. Parking and event features
A G-sensor detects sudden movement or a collision and locks that clip so it is not overwritten. Parking monitoring keeps watching while the car is switched off — this needs a suitable power connection. GPS records where footage was taken, and 4G connectivity allows remote access.
4. Storage
Dash cams loop-record onto a memory card, so card capacity decides how much history you keep. The AutoYu GPS model supports cards up to 512GB.

Installation
Hidden dash cams are designed to sit discreetly and keep the cabin looking factory-fitted. Rear and interior channels need cabling routed through the vehicle, so plan for that if you choose a multi-channel model.
