A motorcycle dash cam is mounted for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the user fixes it on for safety reasons. Others recognize it as a tool for recording interesting and exciting trips that are worth reviewing and gloating over at a later time. Whatever the reason for deploying them, their owners want to get optimal performance from them. The length and quality of video footage are two things they look out for.
