Dash Camera's

Dash cams are in-car systems that can make video and audio recordings  of your driving journey. As soon as you get behind the wheel and start  the ignition, your dash cam will begin recording. As you can imagine,  dash cams are extremely handy in the event of an accident—you can use  the footage recorded to prove that you’re not at fault.  Of course, your dash cam won’t continue storing all recorded footage.  At some point, depending on storage limits, it will begin to overwrite  footage—meaning that, if you have footage you want to keep, you’ll need  to transfer it ASAP.

The capability of a dash cam will vary depending on your chosen  model. Some dash cams, for example, will have a parking mode that  enables it to start recording the moment something bumps into your  car—pretty handy if your pesky neighbours keep scraping past your car.  Additional advanced features can include GPS tracking, speed monitoring  and low battery usage.

There are two main types of dash cams:

• Front view: as the name suggests, these dash cams  will face forwards and record everything that’s in front of you. These  types of dash cams are typically the cheapest option.
• Front and rear view: not only do these dash cams  monitor the traffic in front of you, they also record the traffic that’s  following you—this can be particularly useful, as many accidents on the  road are due to rear-end collisions.
