Dash Cams should be automatic

[Pendown]

When I first got a car with a dash cam system, I expected it to be this seamless, always-on guardian, quietly doing its job in the background. But then I discovered that I had to manually start it every time I drove. It was so frustrating, imagine forgetting to turn it on and missing out on recording something important.

It made me wonder: what’s the point of having a dash cam if it doesn’t automatically activate? A system like that should work the moment the car starts, no questions asked. It’s like having a security system at home that only arms itself when you remember to press a button, not very helpful, is it?

In my opinion, dash cams should always default to automatic mode. No one wants to be halfway through a drive and realize they forgot to turn it on.

If you turned on loop recording, the camera should start recording on its own.

Good point there...I do have loop recording on, but I was hoping it would just start automatically when the car powers up.
