What Should You Look for When Buying a Dash Cam?

Dash cams are a fantastic addition to your car. They confer many benefits, including reducing the cost of your insurance, making it easier for you to park, and allowing you to monitor your driving habits. However, there are a few things to for when buying a dash cam. We’re going to consider these below.

The Quality of the Footage

This is something that many people overlook for some reason, but it is of paramount importance. When choosing an in car DVR unit, you should always aim to choose one that produces high quality footage. This will make it easier for you to watch the footage, but also for insurance purposes too.

Here are a few things to note:

1.Choose an HD in car DVR unit. There’s no point opting for a low-resolution camera. They might be cheaper, but they can be ineffective.
2.Make sure that they perform well at night, as well as in the day.
3.In the shop, ask if you can take a recording so that you can see for yourself, rather than relying on videos published by the manufacturer.



Understated

It is better to buy a camera set-up that is relatively discreet. If you don’t, then you might find that people try to remove it during incidents of road rage or following an accident. Furthermore, if it’s too large, it can obscure your view of the road. Cameras do not have to be big, so don’t be fooled by the ‘bigger = better’ argument.

Reliability

Finally, you need to choose a camera that is reliable. There’s no point in installing a dash cam if it’s going to break down all the time. You need to go for a camera that is at least mid-range in price in order to ensure that it’s of a high enough quality.

Finally, always read the reviews. Try to find out as much as you can about the unit before you part with your money.
