In Australia, we know a thing or two about harsh weather. From scorching summers to sudden heatwaves, electronics in our vehicles face intense conditions—especially those stuck on the windshield or dashboard. That’s why one feature is becoming a must-have in modern dash cams: the supercapacitor.

If you're looking for a dash cam that can stand up to the Aussie sun without overheating, failing, or leaking, here’s what you need to know.
Most dash cams are powered by either lithium-ion batteries or supercapacitors. While lithium batteries store more energy, they’re prone to swelling, leaking, or losing performance in extreme temperatures.
Supercapacitors, on the other hand, are built to handle high heat without the risk of damage. Here’s why they’re ideal for dash cams:
For Australian drivers, especially those in the outback or coastal regions where cars can reach intense internal temperatures, a supercapacitor isn’t just a bonus—it’s a smart safety choice.
Dash cams are usually mounted near the rearview mirror, where direct sunlight hits hardest. Temperatures inside a parked car can soar past 60°C on a hot day, especially if parked outside without shade.
In these conditions, battery-powered dash cams may:
Supercapacitor-powered dash cams are designed to eliminate these problems, giving you reliable performance when you need it most.
Here’s what makes supercapacitor dash cams the top choice for hot climates like Australia:
1. Better Heat Resistance
They’re designed to operate in higher temperatures, so they don’t degrade under stress.
2. Long-Term Durability
While batteries degrade over time, supercapacitors maintain their performance even after thousands of cycles.
3. Improved Safety
No risk of leaks, bulges, or explosions—making them safer to leave in your car.
4. More Reliable Emergency Recording
Even in extreme heat, your dash cam will power on instantly and record critical footage.
