WiFi offers a network to pair between your dash cam and your smartphone which lets you access video files and change settings. There is no internet access required or any data charges as it’s just a local network between the camera and phone. This is useful for IROAD dash cams that don’t have an on-screen menu as you can use your smartphone as the screen, furthermore it allows you to share and upload videos without removing the card from the camera.

All IROAD cameras are supplied with WiFi. The connection is typically within 15m from the car, and for best results within the car.

IROAD dash cams come with GPS. GPS typically helps to provide speed and location data on the video which can be useful if the vehicle is driven by an employee or family member and you want to know how fast they’re going. GPS does not work as a navigation device on your dash cam and there are no pre-loaded maps.

NO. Everything needed for a standard installation is supplied in the box. We do have a good range of accessories if needed for non standard installations, such as Back Up Battery Packs, and extended rear camera cables, these can be purchased on our website or through your authorised IROAD reseller.

We highly recommend only Genuine IROAD SD Cards. Other cards on the market may “Tick all the boxes” with specifications, BUT the IROAD cards have been built tough enough to handle the constant rewriting and the high heat stresses.

NO.  The IROAD Dash cams have PARKING MODE built in. Turn ON & OFF voltages can be adjusted via the Smartphone App, rather than having to purchase extra hardware and incurring extra installation cost.

YES. The Intelligent NIGHT VISION and X-VISION cameras automatically adjust according to the surrounding light conditions with high detail. Some ambient light is still required, as the camera does not output any light of it’s own.

NO. IROAD dash cams do not require formatting as the camera uses JRD file format designed for continual recording. This causes less stress on the SD Card.

Modern cars are becoming more computerized. Unless you have a good understanding of car electronics, it is a good idea for your Authorised IROAD dealer to install your new investment. Your dealer has the expertise to get the best results the first time.
