Just recently there seems to have been an influx in the number of videos popping up on social media which show footage captured by a car’s dash camera, or ‘cam’ for short. Although dash cams are certainly not cutting edge technology, they do seem to be increasing in popularity and there are many useful reasons why having one installed would be a wise decision. We take a look at some of them below.
In case of an accident
Having a dash camera could prove to be an invaluable resource if you were to ever find yourself in a road accident. Not only would it accurately record what had taken place, should you find yourself wrongly accused, but it would also capture driving conditions, road surfaces and what was happening in terms of traffic at the time of the incident as well. Your dash cam could back you up in a situation where it was your word against the word of the other drivers involved and could also prove to be useful in terms of insurance claims as well; there is very little another insurance company could dispute when the evidence is right there in front of them.
Making a video
If you want to record yourself or your journey as you drive then a dash cam is the perfect way to do this safely. Not only will you be able to capture the whole journey and not miss out on any beautiful scenery because you couldn’t turn your phone or camera on in time but the footage should also be steadier than it would be if you were holding a camera by hand whilst someone was driving. It’s also ideal if you are travelling alone and want to be able to record your view on your drive as well.
When someone uses your car
If you have teenagers who want to borrow your car then having a dash cam installed, and insisting it remains on for the duration of the car’s use, is a great way of ensuring that everyone behaves themselves and drives sensibly whilst using your car.
Types of dash camera available
If we have tempted you to invest in a dash cam for your own vehicle then there are a number of different types you can choose from. You could have just a single camera at the front or opt for a rear view camera kit to give you a dual aspect as well. Lots of cameras have different features such as being able to track routes taken, for example.
Whilst we aren’t certain whether dash cams will become part of the standard spec for new cars, we are fairly sure that they are going to become an increasingly common feature for drivers. They are a great protection tool for when you are out and about as well as giving you the opportunity to share any exciting journeys you may take with others. And you never know just what you might catch on film the next time you take a drive.
