Front and Rear Dash Cam devices have become more and more in use every day in all vehicles across the globe.
Any device that attaches to your front or rear of your vehicle to record any footage on the road is a dashcam. (Dashboard Camera)
As the prices of these devices can be extreme if not totally out of budget, many use their android or smartphone as a dashcam to save costs.
Motorcycle riders have “dashcams” attached to their helmets and have been quite effective in cases of road rage against motorcyclists in a court of law as it has always been a case of “it’s the bikers fault” when even the statistics showed 90% of motorcycle accidents are caused by reckless driving by the motor vehicle driver.
As most devices cost a bit or more it is quite complex setting it up as some comes with separate recording cameras in front and at the back with a screen mounted inside or on your dash and records onto a hard drive either inside the screen or stored separately in your glove compartment or under one of the front seats.
Some are so advanced, that it even has on option of G-force mode, which will keep recording on impact or if the sensors mounted, all around the vehicle feels a knock against the body, thus recording the accident fully without auto stopping as most of the less expensive ones stop when impact detected to protect the device.
We also get the cams that not only have a back and front-mounted camera but also one that is dual purpose in front, which records outside facing and inside facing, so you can see what’s going on in the cab at all times.
These are mostly used in police vehicles and taxicabs, as this helped to solve many cases of abuse of passengers to the taxi and claims of abuse by arrestees by the police officers.
One of the many advantages of these Front and Rear Dash Cam has been by the acceptance of insurance companies and lowering premiums if you have you have it installed, as it helps a lot with the latest attempts by fraudsters that falsely claim for accidents that were caused by them and blaming others or even when no other vehicle involved.
The power supply is usually connected via your cigarette lighter but the more intricate ones get connected directly to your ignition so it will start recording as soon as you turn on the ignition.
So whether you are a parent worried about your kids when they driving your vehicle but also for the taxicab business and the police force this has been one of the most beneficial tech devices brought out to date.
