随着“碰瓷”等交通纠纷关注度的上升，中国行车记录仪市场正在持续升温。2015年中国行车记录仪销量估计在1300万台左右，同比增速高达85.71%。尽管如此，与庞大的汽车保有量相比，中国行车记录仪的装配率不足5%，远低于日本、台湾、俄罗斯等地区，市场增长潜力很大。

    2015年，中国行车记录仪早已不再局限于防“碰瓷”，产品功能和产品形态都有较明显的变化。在产品功能上，除了行车记录以外，越来越多的产品集成了wifi、倒车影像、语音识别、导航等功能。在产品形态上，智能后视镜发展趋势明显，大部分企业已经或正在开发此类产品，并将操作系统、3G模块、ADAS、导航、语音操作、手势识别等功能相互，朝着汽车智能辅助驾驶系统的方向发展。其中导航功能的集成对车载导航市场造成一定影响。

    目前，各方企业正在积极进入行车记录仪领域，将其作为布局车联网的依托。从企业类型看，除了行车记录仪和导航等车载终端设备厂商之外，互联网厂商、地图厂商、整车厂商也正在布局。互联网和地图厂商主要为了占领用户资源，整车厂布局则希望出未来行车记录仪进入前装市场。

    其中在互联网厂商方面，主要有奇虎360、腾讯、阿里巴巴、小米科技正在积极布局：
2015年5月，奇虎360推出360行车记录仪，内置安霸 A7 图像处理器、2英寸TFT显示屏、1296P、160°广角、售价299 元。该产品在2015年“双十一”当天销量达到20万台。
2015年10月，腾讯与盯盯拍合作推出“QQ物联行车记录仪”。盯盯拍与“QQ物联”打通后，可直接在QQ“我的设备”中添加盯盯拍行车记录仪，并对记录仪进行各种访问和操作。
2015年10月，JADO捷渡发布的智能后视镜“Vision远界”搭载了阿里巴巴旗下的YunOS操作系统。
2015年11月24日，小米旗下小蚁科技发布一款行车记录仪，该产品拥有2.7 英寸 16:9 高清 LED 显示屏，165°广角，使用安霸A7LA70 芯片（推断），支持最高 1296P（2304×1296 ）解析度，可录制 60fps 1080P 的视频。还拥有ADAS 智能辅助系统，可以进行车道、车速、车距等数据分析并作出报警。该产品众筹价格仅289元。

Chinese driving recorder market continues to heat up amid growing concerns over traffic accident disputes, such as Pengci, a word referring to fake accidents for extorting money. Driving recorder sales volume is estimated at around 13 million sets in China in 2015, representing a year-on-year surge of 85.71%. Notwithstanding, compared with huge car ownership, the installation rate of driving recorder in China is less than 5%, far below that in Japan, Taiwan, and Russia, indicating enormous potential for market growth.

In 2015, driving recorders are no longer confined to the function of preventing Pengci, but experience significant changes in function and shape. As to the function, besides driving recording, more and more products integrate Wi-Fi, rearview reverse parking camera, voice recognition, and navigation. Regarding the shape, smart rearview mirror leads the trend. Most companies have already developed or are developing such products, and add operating system, 3G module, ADAS, navigation, voice action, and gesture recognition, with the products developing towards intelligent driver assistant system. The integration of navigation has some impact on on-board navigation market.

Companies are rushing into driving recorder field and use it as a medium to make layout in telematics. In addition to makers of on-board terminals including driving recorder and navigator, Internet firms, map companies, and automakers also want to get a piece of the pie. Internet and map companies aim to capture user resources, and carmakers wish to make their way into the driving recorder OEM market.

Internet companies that make aggressive actions include Qihoo 360 Technology, Tencent, Alibaba, and Xiaomi.

In May 2015, Qihoo 360 Technology launched 360 driving recorder, which has built-in Ambarella A7 image processor and 2-inch 1296P 160° wide-angle TFT display, and is sold at RMB299. 200,000 sets of the product were sold on Nov 11, 2015.
In Oct 2015, Tencent and DDPai jointly launched “QQ IoT driving recorder”. After DDPai and “QQ IoT” are connected, DDPai driving recorder can be added to “My Device” on QQ, and access and operations to the driving recorder can be gained.
In Oct 2015, JADO launched smart rearview mirror “Vision” carrying Alibaba’s YunOS operating system.
On Nov 24, 2015, Xiaoyi Technology under Xiaomi launched a driving recorder. The product has a 2.7-inch 165° wide-angle 16:9HD LED display, uses Ambarella A7LA70 chip (supposedly), supports a max. resolution of 1296P (2304×1296), and can record 60fps 1080P videos. In addition, it also carries ADAS, analyzing the data on lane, vehicle speed, and vehicle distance, and giving the alarm. The crowd-funding price is RMB289.
