C6S

Each clip carries your speed and location, and you can replay the route on a map in the app. Useful for insurance claims and for fleet or family trip records.

Both are 4K with ADAS. The C6S has GPS built in, a bigger 3 inch screen and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The C8 Pro 4K is more compact, records at 30 fps, takes cards up to 256 GB and supports an optional rear camera and GPS module.

More pixels means number plates and road signs stay readable from further away and when you zoom into a clip. 1080P is about 2 million pixels, 2K (1440P) about 3.7 million, 3.5K (3000×1688) about 5 million and 4K (2160P) about 8.3 million, so 4K holds four times the detail of 1080P. For city driving 2K is a good balance; for highways and night driving 4K gives the best chance of reading a plate.

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.

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.

Yes, with the Buckline Micro-USB 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.
