A dashboard camera or simply dashcam, also known as car digital video recorder (car DVR), driving recorder, or event data recorder (EDR), is an onboard camera that continuously records the view through a vehicle's front windscreen and sometimes rear or other windows. Some dashcams include a camera to record the interior of the car in 360 degrees inside camera, usually in a ball form, and can automatically send pictures and video using mobile connectivity. In commercial fleets, dashcams are a core component of video telematics systems, which are a key technology used in the broader trend of fleet digitalization and referred to as AI Dashcams.
