Both Trace Optical and Fengmei Optical have profound technical experience, well established facilities, and abundant customer base, and the mutual understanding of the optical lens industry for the automotive market is on the same page. There wouldn’t be too many challenges arising from integration. The effect of one plus one greater than two will soon play out.   The fourth aspect is company’s future prospect. Trace Optical is recognized as a rapidly growing and relatively ambitious high-quality company that has installed a young and vigorous team. The company has been keeping on investing a great deal in R&D, quality management and manufacturing in the past years for the purpose of building up itself into a brand company in the optical industry. Fengmei Optical has a strong background. With integration and combination of product mix, resources, and technical capabilities of both companies, the potential can be inspired and the strength can be bolstered.   According to the statistics published by Electrend, the shipment quantity of automotive lenses in the world has reached 260 million pieces in 2023. It is estimated from the market development trend that the shipment quantity in the next two years will be approximately 340 million pieces in 2024 and 420 million pieces in 2025 respectively.   The year of 2025 is thought to be a tipping point when the automotive industry is expected to restructure. In order to survive the competition, both traditional car makers and new energy startups are endeavoring to implement smart driving and intelligent cockpit systems which are equipped with cameras image sensors as mature solutions.   Tougher competition is taking place more than ever in the supply chain. Qualified suppliers are seeking not to be eliminated in the next stage As it is said, fear not the strong pass iron-clad on all sides, the summit is now surmounted with great strides. Taking the acquisition of Fengmei Optical as a new starting point, Trace Optical will continue to enhance its comprehensive strength, advance towards top listed supplier and write a splendid chapter.

The high resolution and wide-angle lenses in car dash cameras enhance video quality and capture key details in the following ways: High Resolution: High-resolution lenses have more pixels, allowing them to capture more details and increase image clarity. This means that recorded videos are sharper, clearer, and more detailed. High-resolution lenses can display more details such as license plates, road signs, and other crucial elements, which is essential for accident investigation and evidence collection. Wide-Angle Lens: Wide-angle lenses provide a broader field of view, enabling them to capture more of the road scene. Compared to traditional lenses, wide-angle lenses can capture a wider perspective, including multiple lanes, intersections, and the surrounding environment. This wide-angle view helps to comprehensively record important details during driving, such as traffic flow, pedestrians, and obstacles, providing more comprehensive visual information. Low-Light Performance: High resolution and quality lens technology also means better performance in low-light conditions. In nighttime or challenging weather conditions, these lenses can capture more details and clarity, providing more reliable video recordings. This is crucial for investigating and analyzing accidents or incidents that occur in low-light or adverse weather conditions. In summary, the high resolution and wide-angle lenses in car dash cameras significantly improve video quality and help capture key details by providing more pixels, a wider field of view, and excellent low-light performance. These technological advancements make dash cameras powerful tools for evidence collection, providing drivers with safer and more reliable driving experiences.

  In recent times, car dash cameras have emerged as a vital tool for drivers, providing increased safety and security on the roads. These compact cameras, typically mounted on the dashboard or windshield, capture high-quality video footage of the road ahead and the surrounding environment. One of the key advancements in car dash cameras is the integration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology. ADAS features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control work in tandem with the dash cameras to alert drivers of potential hazards and assist in preventing accidents. This combination of visual recording and intelligent safety features has significantly contributed to reducing road accidents and improving overall driver awareness. Another notable development is the introduction of high-resolution and wide-angle lenses in car dash cameras. With improved image sensors and lens technology, these cameras can capture clearer and more detailed footage, even in low-light conditions. The wide-angle lenses provide a broader field of view, ensuring that the entire road scene is captured, including critical details such as license plates and road signs. Furthermore, advancements in connectivity have made car dash cameras more versatile and user-friendly. Many modern dash cameras offer built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to wirelessly transfer and access recorded videos on their smartphones or other devices. Some models also support real-time streaming, enabling live monitoring and remote access to the camera's feed, which can be particularly useful for fleet management or surveillance purposes. The popularity of car dash cameras has also led to the development of advanced features such as GPS tracking and parking mode. GPS tracking enables users to record and track their precise location and speed, providing valuable evidence in case of accidents or disputes. Parking mode, on the other hand, utilizes motion detection or impact sensors to automatically activate the camera and record any incidents that occur while the vehicle is parked, offering an extra layer of security. As the demand for car dash cameras continues to grow, manufacturers are constantly innovating to meet the evolving needs of consumers. With the integration of advanced technologies, improved video quality, and enhanced connectivity features, car dash cameras are becoming an indispensable companion for drivers, promoting safer and more secure journeys on the roads.
