A ilensi ye-dashcamwuhlobo lwelensi yekhamera eklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa nekhamera yedeshibhodi noma “i-dashcam”.Ilensi yedeshikhamera ivamise ukuba ne-engeli ebanzi, eyivumela ukuthi ithwebule indawo enkulu yokubuka ukusuka kudeshibhodi yemoto noma iwindshield.Lokhu kubalulekile ngoba i-dashcam yakhelwe ukurekhoda yonke into eyenzekayo ngenkathi ushayela, okuhlanganisa izingozi, izigameko, noma ezinye izehlakalo ezingase zenzeke emgwaqeni.Ngokucacile, i-DVR ye-blackbox yemoto ingathwebula izithombe zezimo zomgwaqo, amaphethini wethrafikhi, nokuziphatha komshayeli, okuhlanganisa isivinini, ukusheshisa, nokubhuleka.Le datha ingasetshenziswa ukuthola ukuthi ubani owayenephutha engozini, noma ukuhlonza imbangela yezinye izigameko zomgwaqo.Ngaphezu kokunikeza ubufakazi uma kwenzeka ingozi noma isigameko, i-DVR yebhokisi elimnyama lemoto ingasetshenziswa futhi qapha futhi uthuthukise ukuziphatha kokushayela.Amanye amamodeli afaka izici ezifana nokulandelela i-GPS, okungasetshenziswa ukulandelela indawo nesivinini semoto, kanye nokuxwayisa abashayeli ngokuziphatha kokushayela okuyingozi.
Izinga leilensi ye-dashcamzingahluka kuye ngomkhiqizi kanye nemodeli yekhamera.Amanye ama-dashcam asebenzisa amalensi ekhwalithi ephezulu aklanyelwe ukukhiqiza izithombe ezicacile, ezicijile ngisho nasezimeni zokukhanya okuphansi, kuyilapho amanye angase asebenzise amalensi ekhwalithi ephansi akhiqiza izithombe ezilufifi noma eziwashiwe.
Uma usemakethe ye-dashcam, kubalulekile ukucabangela ikhwalithi yelensi uma ukhetha.Bheka ikhamera esebenzisa ilensi yekhwalithi ephezulu enombono obanzi ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi uthwebula yonke into eyenzekayo ngenkathi usendleleni.
