Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dashcam, specifically a five-channel dashcam. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dashcams are mostly single-channel (front only) or dual-channel (front and rear), with limited monitoring range. During driving or parking, large areas to the sides (especially the blind spots of the A-pillars on both sides) and behind the vehicle cannot be effectively covered. When meeting oncoming traffic on narrow roads, turning at intersections, changing lanes, or parallel parking, blind spots can easily lead to scrapes, collisions, and other accidents, and it is difficult to determine liability after an incident.

[0003] Even some multi-channel dashcams often rely on a wide-angle front camera for side views, resulting in a distorted and unfocused perspective. They cannot clearly and accurately record dynamic information at close range on both sides of the vehicle, making it difficult to meet the driving safety needs in complex road conditions (such as narrow alleys).

[0004] Traditional dashcams often have limited mounting options or adjustable angles, making it difficult to adapt to the windshield tilt angles and center console layouts of different car models. This results in an unsatisfactory shooting angle after installation, affecting the monitoring effect.

[0005] Many dashcams produce images with high noise and blurred details in low-light environments such as nighttime, tunnels, or underground parking garages, making it difficult to clearly identify the characteristics of vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles to the side and rear, thus greatly reducing their monitoring function.
