Question What is WaveGuard? How is it dierent from parking monitoring features in other
Dashcams?
Answer Many Dashcam claims motion (G-sensor) activated parking monitoring, meaning the
recording only starts after motion detected. Most of the time, this is too late as that
means the accident already happened. And many lower end Dashcam needs up to 5
seconds to start recording after motion detected. Hence, it is unlikely those Dashcam
can record useful information during parking monitoring.
WaveGuard uses unique Philips microwave detection technology. This senses the
scene in front of the car and starts recording when it detects a moving object, such
as a human or other vehicle, approaching too closely to your vehicle. If the object
then moves past the vehicle and no further motion is detected, the device will stop
recording and automatically shut down to save vehicle battery power. Hence, it will
recording before, during and after the accident, if that happenned.
With parking monitoring that relies on video motion detection, when compared to
WaveGuard, they are less eective at identifying movement, especially in low-light
conditions (and it’s at night that you most need your motion detection technology to
be working well). Due to their inability to identify distance, those parking monitoring
will be constant recording irrelevant information from far away, and draining battery
far quicker than needed. Note: WaveGuard, and also video motion detection parking
monitoring, requires a continuous power supply, so the device needs to be plugged in
to your vehicle.
Question Will the use of a UV protection screen aect the performance of WaveGuard?
Answer No, as long as the UV protection screen is not composed of any metal materials.
