Dash cameras work by connecting directly to your vehicle via the lighter socket, USB port or another type of external power but most of them need some sort of wired power source. Dash cameras are useful and a convenient way to record video of your trips. Sometimes they can even be helpful in case you are involved in an accident or other type of road related incident.
They can also help you see the road ahead and in some Dashcam bundles you will get rear cameras which can help you see the road behind, potentially avoiding hazards or unexpected objects or vehicles.
Depending on the model of camera you purchase some are equipped with motion sensors and sensors that can detect a collision. When recording continuously, the dash cameras record footage of any incident, road rage event such as a reckless driver, an accident, or even a traffic stop. The camera will record video of everything within its field of view. As an example here's a photo from a Nextbase lens 140 view angle.
