The scorching sun can raise the temperature inside the car to a high level. Many car owners in hot weather are wondering if it is possible not to shoot the DVR in such weather conditions. The video recording device is usually fixed on the rear-view mirror or on the windshield of the car.

DVRs are mostly Li-Ion batteries, which can be subject to battery overheating. This confirms the need not to leave the device in the sun.

For example, on a hot summer day, temperatures can exceed +35°C. Car interiors, in this case, warm up under the sun and the mark inside can rise - above + 50 ° C. Such indicators were noted by drivers during parking for 1 hour. The sun's rays on such days can heat up the dashboard - up to 70 degrees.

Therefore, if you leave the DVRs in the operating mode under the sun, then there is a high probability of an increase in the heating of the internal components of the battery to critical levels. As a result, devices may stop working correctly or even fail.

When sunlight hits the device, the following occurs:

• The body of the DVR spirally starts to heat up.
• The cooling elements are covered with heat, which touches the body parts, metal inner frames and foil gaskets.
• With a further increase in temperature, all elements of the case (made of plastic material) and internal components of the electronics, including the screen matrix and camera, come to destruction.
• Hot air temperature overheats the battery, which disables the DVR.
• With further heating of the battery, oxidative processes inside are accelerated, which directly affects the loss of battery capacity, short circuits or self-ignition.

Of course, thermal damage of this nature depends on the quality level of the components. Good materials for housings and fillings of DVRs can protect devices from overheating, at least partially.

Note. On YouTube, you can find many videos with color distortion or stripes in the picture. These defects are the consequences of overheating of the gadget's battery.

If the DVR has been left out in the sun, then, in most cases, thoughtful thermal protection should suffice. Such protection can only work for fully functional devices. In the operating instructions for such automotive devices, a note about this is mandatory.

A malfunction of gadgets occurs precisely at the moments of use and when sunlight hits the switched on device. As a result, this leads not only to the ignition of the device, but also to a fire in the car.

To protect the user from ignition of the car accessory, the following must be ensured:

• Choose only high-quality gadgets.
• Make sure the battery is good.
• Protect the car interior from solar overheating.

The best solution for protecting your car accessories and car interior is choosing a shady parking spot or using a windshield reflector.

It is important to follow safety rules, including compliance with measures to protect the interior of the car from temperature effects. This allows you to protect the dashboard and all the contents inside the car from damage.
