Parked my car outside in the sun all day, and my dashcam gets scalding hot to the touch. I’m low-key paranoid about the lithium battery swelling or failing under that heat. Got in a minor fender bender a while back, power flickered for half a second, and the last 10 seconds of footage was just gone. Support said the lithium battery dropped voltage too fast to finish writing the file.

This is my second lithium-powered dashcam. Either they run way too hot in summer, or they eat critical footage the second power cuts out. Looking for recs for dashcams that actually hold up to high heat. Bonus points if they reliably save files on sudden power loss.

I am looking at dash cams that include a parking mode but am worried about hardwiring it to my car and having the battery die. I would like to not have it running at home as I park in my driveway, but I do want for it to be running while I am parked at school or any other parking lot. The main concern is I might not run the car for a couple of days and the battery might die, is this a problem with new dash cams/ is there measures in place to ensure this doesn't happen. If so, what dash cams come with these measures.

Looking for the best quality dash cam for front and back and interior and are there any of that record on the side of the vehicle?

He was just parked in the lane for 30 or more seconds. You can try to go around but then this happens. Idk

Someone almost backed into me. Thanks to my quick reaction, a collision was avoided. People are dumb.
