Why You Can’t Do Without a Car Dash Cam?
In recent years, car dash cams have become an increasingly popular accessory among drivers, road professionals, and road trip enthusiasts. These compact cameras, installed on the windshield or dashboard, record everything that happens in real-time while driving, proving to be essential tools for driver safety and protection.
Whether it’s providing crucial evidence in the event of an accident, protecting yourself from road disputes, or simply monitoring your vehicle, dash cams offer numerous benefits that make them indispensable.
With increasing traffic and unexpected road situations, having a device that records every moment can truly make a difference.
For this reason, we have developed two new dash cam models that revolutionize the driving experience for every motorist: Street Guardian One and Street Guardian Mini.
In this article, we answer the question: why can’t you do without a dash cam, and what are the features of Midland’s two new models?
Dash Cams: Functions and Uses
First and foremost, a dash cam is a compact camera that you can install on the windshield or dashboard to record videos or take photos of what happens around your vehicle while driving or parked.
It’s a tool that ensures your safety by recording everything happening in real-time outside your vehicle, providing documentation in case of unforeseen events or accidents.
It should not be confused with parking assistance cameras, which do not record videos but only improve visibility, especially when reversing.
Dash cams continuously record everything that happens while the vehicle is in motion (some models also work when parked), allowing you to have a reliable witness in the event of accidents or road disputes.
Midland Street Guardian One and Mini: Your New Travel Companions
All of Midland’s expertise in under 70 grams: the new Street Guardian One and Street Guardian Mini dash cams are the perfect travel companions for drivers, campers, and truckers.
Small, compact, yet equipped with advanced technology: when developing new Midland products, we always put ourselves in our customers’ shoes to solve every possible problem.
Let’s start with the Street Guardian One, which weighs just 50 grams and offers an unbeatable price-to-quality ratio. It activates only when the vehicle is on (avoiding unnecessary power consumption), records in Full HD resolution with a wide-angle lens, capturing a broad view of the road. It is compact, features a 2-inch LCD display, and does not obstruct the driver’s view. Additionally, anyone can easily mount it using the adhesive tape and mounting bracket. It is powered via a USB-C cable and supports a micro SD card up to 64GB. It also has a built-in G-sensor that detects impacts and automatically saves critical videos, protecting them from accidental overwriting—an essential function in case of an accident.
The Street Guardian Mini shares similar features with the Street Guardian One but is even more compact, almost invisible, and weighs just 61 grams. It includes an integrated GPS, allowing you to accurately track all movements, recording location and speed in real-time. It also features Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling connection to the Dashcam Player app, where you can view recorded videos directly on your smartphone, save them, and share them without having to remove the memory card or connect the dash cam to a PC via cables.
How Does It Work?
The dash cam automatically records in loop mode, deleting older videos to free up storage. However, thanks to the G-sensor, videos detecting an accident are protected and will not be overwritten. All this happens automatically, without the driver (or camper or truck driver) needing to operate the dash cam.
It can be powered via USB-C or USB-A cable.
Do you need to monitor your vehicle even when parked? You can add the parking cable as an optional accessory, keeping the dash cam active even when the vehicle is off. This helps prevent unpleasant surprises and ensures your vehicle is always protected.
If you’re looking for a technologically advanced dash cam with an excellent price-to-performance ratio, then the Street Guardian One is the perfect choice for you. If you prefer an almost invisible, ultra-compact dash cam with integrated Wi-Fi and GPS, then the Street Guardian Mini is your best option.
And that’s not all! The Midland dash cam range is extensive, with models designed to meet the specific needs of truck drivers and motorcyclists, offering professional surveillance systems that not only record what happens during a trip but also monitor heavy vehicles while parked.
No matter where the road takes you, Midland will always be by your side to ensure your safety!
