A Dashcam is a gadget and a piece of technology at the end of the day and is subject to failure eventually or technology obsolescence. However while it is still in use, you would expect it to last for at least a couple of years and reliably record and retrieve your video footage.
There are a few things you should keep in mind towards this, especially while selecting your dashcam and the accessories which go along with it.

While Dashcams.ae does not offer any warranty since it does not supply the products directly, we still offer our users some guidelines on what to look out for and expect when it comes to warranty on dashcams.
This differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, but most brands will offer a 1 year warranty on the Dashcam and it’s accessories. You should check with the vendor or source where it is purchased from on the specifics of the warranty.
The most common feedback we have received from our readers, is that Dashcam batteries often fail when used in a vehicle that has been parked outside in the heat for extended periods of time. This kind of issue can be noticed in a years time or if your luck runs out, even in a few months of usage.
You might face issues with your battery or dashcam unit being puffed up as the battery has expanded and is not providing adequate backup. Of course replacement of these battery packs is not simple or straight forward.
Our readers are hence advised to shortlist and invest in a Capacitor based Dashcam such as the one below, for usage in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the Middle East in general.
Warranty on Storage and Memory Devices
Storage devices such as the ones above are designed specifically for video recording with dash cams and are also suitable for high resolution and bitrate recording with frequent read and write cycles.
Readers are advised to highly consider these type of endurance storage devices so that your video footage can be retrieved when you need it most.
