Transcend DrivePro 520 Dashcam Specification

The Transcend DrivePro 520 Dashcam is a sophisticated dual-lens dash camera designed to enhance vehicular safety and security. It features a front and rear camera, with the front camera equipped with a high-quality Full HD 1080p lens that captures crisp, clear footage at 30 frames per second. The rear camera, capable of rotating 180 degrees, captures 720p HD video, making it ideal for recording in-cabin activity.

Both lenses benefit from wide-angle viewing, with the front lens offering a 130-degree field of view to cover a broad swath of the road ahead, while the rear lens provides a 110-degree view. The device is equipped with infrared LEDs for the rear camera, ensuring clear in-cabin recording even in low-light conditions. Its 2.4-inch LCD display allows users to play back recordings and configure settings with ease.

The DrivePro 520 is designed with an integrated GPS receiver, allowing for precise geolocation data to be embedded in video footage, providing valuable context for incident analysis. It also includes a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling users to stream live footage or download videos directly to a smartphone or tablet using the DrivePro app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices.

The dashcam supports microSD cards up to 128GB and comes with Transcend's exclusive DrivePro Toolbox software for Windows, which provides a user-friendly interface for viewing and managing recorded videos. Additional safety features include a G-sensor, which automatically triggers emergency recording during collisions or sudden movements, and a parking mode that initiates recording when motion is detected while the vehicle is parked. With its robust design and comprehensive feature set, the Transcend DrivePro 520 offers reliable performance for both personal and professional use.
