boAt has expanded its in-car accessories portfolio in India with three new dashboard cameras — HIVE Dashcam E1, HIVE Dashcam M1, and HIVE Dashcam F1. The lineup targets different recording needs, covering everyday driving, route documentation, and dual-camera monitoring with support for loop recording, emergency footage locking, GPS logging, and HiveCam app connectivity.
HIVE Dashcam E1
The HIVE Dashcam E1 records video in 1296p Full HD resolution, capturing road details such as number plates, signals, and nearby vehicles. Low-light processing reduces visual noise in darker environments, while the 126° field of view enables wide, multi-lane coverage suited to city traffic and highways.
Loop recording saves footage in short clips and automatically replaces older non-protected files when storage is full. An adjustable G-sensor locks emergency footage during sudden braking or impact. The dashcam supports microSD cards up to 256GB, connects to smartphones via built-in Wi-Fi through the HiveCam app for viewing and settings control, includes a microphone and speaker, and supports parking surveillance when paired with an optional hardwiring kit.
