Dashcams are becoming increasingly common in Indonesia due to the growing need for trip documentation, driver safety, and visual evidence during accidents. For personal vehicles and commercial fleets, dashcams play a crucial role in supporting safety and operational efficiency.
This article explains what a dashcam is, how to use it, and how to obtain official certification in Indonesia, especially for manufacturers, distributors, or importers who want to sell dashcams legally.
What Is a Dashcam?
A dashcam (dashboard camera) is a device installed on a vehicle’s dashboard or windshield to continuously record driving activity. Common features include:
- HD or 4K video recording
- G-sensor for impact detection
- Parking mode
- Cloud storage
- GPS tracking
- Dual-channel camera
Because many dashcams use wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, they must be certified in Indonesia before being marketed legally.
How to Use a Dashcam
Dashcams are generally easy to use. Here are the primary steps:
1. Install in the correct position
Place it near the center of the windshield, close to the rearview mirror.
2. Connect to power
Use the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or a hardwire kit.
3. Insert a memory card
Typically 32–128GB depending on video resolution.
4. Configure the device
Adjust resolution, G-sensor sensitivity, and GPS settings.
5. Monitor and backup
Many dashcams allow real-time viewing and downloads via mobile apps.
Why Dashcams Need Certification in Indonesia
Because dashcams often contain wireless components like:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
They fall under telecommunication devices, requiring official SDPPI/DJID (KOMDIGI) Certification.
This ensures the device:
- Is safe
- Does not interfere with other radio frequencies
- Meets Indonesian technical standards
