These days dashcams are becoming quite popular because they provide crucial video evidence for accidents, which helps in settling insurance claims and legal disputes. They also enhance road safety by encouraging responsible driving, and offer peace of mind by monitoring the vehicle.
If you’re in the market for a new dashcam, the CP-F85B from CP Plus can be a good option. Available for Rs 12,199 on Flipkart, this is a 4K car dashcam with both front and cabin cameras, GPS, and night vision. It comes with a built-in microphone that records clear voices while the Sony Starvis sensor delivers sharp video even in low light, ensuring 24/7 reliable recording.
Let me explain a bit here. This is a dual-camera system, with the main camera mounted on the front windshield and a second camera positioned to record the cabin. To power the dashcam and hide the wires, the power cable is run along the windshield and A-pillar, with a pry tool used to tuck it neatly under the trim. It is then connected to a carport, such as a 12V cigarette lighter outlet.
When it comes to real-time use, the CP-F85B captures both the road ahead with an 8MP 4K camera and the vehicle’s interior with a Full HD camera. GPS tracks your location and speed, while the night vision capability ensures clear footage even in low light conditions. There’s parking monitoring too; it continuously records when the vehicle is parked to provide 24/7 surveillance.
The CP-F85B automatically locks footage in case of sudden impacts or collisions. Its built-in display allows for immediate viewing of recorded footage. Overall, a compact 4k setup that gives good video footage in low light and after dark.
Estimated street price: Rs 12,199
