4K vs 2K Resolution - Choose Your Perfect Clarity

Crystal Clear Recording - Two Resolution Options

We offer dash cameras in both 4K Ultra HD and 2K Full HD resolutions, allowing you to choose the perfect balance of image quality, storage, and budget for your needs.

4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160)

Maximum Detail, Professional Grade

What is 4K?
4K resolution delivers 8.3 million pixels - four times the detail of standard 1080p Full HD. This means sharper images, clearer license plates, and more visible details even when zooming in on footage.

✓ Key Advantages:

Superior License Plate Recognition: Read plates clearly from greater distances, even in challenging conditions
Exceptional Zoom Capability: Zoom into footage without losing critical details
Future-Proof Quality: Maximum resolution ensures your footage remains useful as display technology advances
Professional Evidence: Highest quality footage for insurance claims and legal purposes
Clearer Street Signs & Details: Capture road signs, traffic signals, and environmental details with precision

⚠️ Considerations:

Larger file sizes require more storage space (recommend 128GB+ SD card)
Higher price point compared to 2K models
May consume slightly more power

Best For:

Drivers who want the absolute best image quality
Professional drivers (rideshare, delivery, commercial)
High-value vehicles where maximum protection is priority
Those who frequently drive in complex traffic environments

2K Full HD (2560 × 1440)

Excellent Quality, Great Value

What is 2K?
2K resolution provides 3.7 million pixels - significantly sharper than standard 1080p while maintaining efficient file sizes. It offers an excellent balance of clarity and practicality.

✓ Key Advantages:

Clear License Plate Capture: Excellent readability in most driving conditions
Efficient Storage: Smaller file sizes mean longer recording time on the same SD card
Great Value: Professional-quality footage at a more accessible price point
Reliable Performance: Proven resolution with excellent day and night recording
Lower Power Consumption: Slightly less battery drain, beneficial for parking mode

✓ Advantages:

More affordable than 4K models
Longer recording time per GB of storage
Excellent quality for everyday driving needs

Best For:

Daily commuters seeking reliable, high-quality recording
Budget-conscious buyers who still want excellent clarity
Drivers who prioritize longer recording time
Those with smaller SD cards (64GB works well)
