A ilensi yedashcamluhlobo lwelensi yekhamera eyenzelwe ukusetyenziswa nekhamera yedeshibhodi okanye “idashcam”. Ilensi yedashcam iqhelekile ukuba ne-engile ebanzi, eyivumela ukuba ibambe indawo enkulu yokujonga kwideshibhodi yemoto okanye iwindshield. Oku kubalulekile kuba i-dashcam yenzelwe ukurekhoda yonke into eyenzekayo ngelixa uqhuba, kuquka naziphi na iingozi, izehlo, okanye ezinye iziganeko ezinokuthi zenzeke endleleni. Ngokukodwa, i-DVR ye-blackbox yemoto inokuthatha imifanekiso yeemeko zendlela, iipatheni zendlela, kunye nokuziphatha komqhubi, kubandakanya isantya, isantya, kunye nokuqhobosha. Le datha ingasetyenziselwa ukufumanisa ukuba ngubani owayenempazamo kwingozi, okanye ukuchonga unobangela wezinye iziganeko endleleni.Ukongeza ekunikeni ubungqina kwimeko yengozi okanye isiganeko, i-DVR ye-blackbox yesithuthi nayo ingasetyenziselwa ukubeka iliso nokuphucula indlela yokuziphatha. Eminye imifuziselo ibandakanya iimpawu ezifana nokulandelela i-GPS, enokusetyenziswa ukulandelela indawo kunye nesantya sesithuthi, kunye nokulumkisa abaqhubi kwindlela yokuziphatha okuyingozi.
Umgangatho welensi yedashcam unokwahluka ngokuxhomekeke kumenzi kunye nomzekelo wekhamera. Ezinye ii<em>dashcam zisebenzisa iilensi zodidi oluphezulu eziyilelwe ukuvelisa imifanekiso ecacileyo, ebukhali naphantsi kokukhanya okuphantsi, ngoxa ezinye zinokusebenzisa iilensi zomgangatho ophantsi ezivelisa imifanekiso engacacanga okanye ehlanjiweyo.
Ukuba ukwimarike yedashcam, kubalulekile ukuqwalasela umgangatho welensi xa usenza ukhetho lwakho. Jonga ikhamera esebenzisa ilensi ekumgangatho ophezulu enebala elibanzi lokujonga ukuqinisekisa ukuba ubamba yonke into eyenzekayo ngelixa usendleleni.
