Quick answers about the C8PRO 4K, and how it compares.
C8 Pro 4K or C8 Pro 3.5K?
The 4K model has more detail (8.3 vs 5 million pixels). The C8 Pro 3.5K has a wider 151° view and can record 1440P at 60 fps for smoother motion. Pick 4K for plate detail, 3.5K for the widest view.
C8 Pro 4K or C6S?
The C6S has GPS built in and a 3 inch screen; the C8 Pro is smaller with a Type-C plug, records 4K at 30 fps instead of 25 and can add a rear camera.
What does the 4G box add?
The optional 4G box gives the dashcam its own mobile-data connection, so you can reach it from the app even when you are away from the car. ESCO stocks the 4G box, and it is PTA approved for use in Pakistan. It works with the C8 Pro and G2 Pro series.
Where can I buy it with warranty and support in Pakistan?
ESCO supplies Hikvision dashcams across Pakistan from esco.pk with a 1-year warranty and local after-sales support. Dashcams are simple to fit yourself, and any car accessories or service shop can install one; ESCO also offers installation in the cities where we operate.
What does ADAS do on this dashcam?
ADAS (advanced driver assistance) uses the camera to give voice alerts: when the traffic light turns green, the speed limit on the road you are on, and when the car in front moves off and you have not. It is camera based, so a green shop front or trees can trigger the green-light alert now and then.
Will it record when the car is parked and switched off?
Yes, with the Buckline TYPE-C hardwire kit, sold separately (see Accessories below). The kit powers the camera from the fuse box, so it stays on guard with the engine off. In parking mode the G-sensor wakes the camera when the car is hit, bumped or scratched, records the moment and locks the clip so it cannot be overwritten. The kit has low-voltage protection: it switches the camera off before the battery gets too low to start the car. Without a hardwire kit the camera runs from the cigarette lighter socket, which most cars switch off with the ignition, so it stops recording when you leave.
How does it compare with the other Hikvision dashcams?
