Dash cams for hot climates
A parked car in summer sun gets hotter than a lithium pouch cell is designed for, and a swollen battery is the classic way a dash cam dies. Every camera here uses a supercapacitor instead, which cannot swell, and every one publishes a temperature range — because a supercapacitor camera whose maker will not state a ceiling is asking you to take it on trust.
40 cameras · Sorted by published maximum operating temperature, highest first.
