Reasons to Install a Dash Cam

  1. Evidence in Case of Accidents: One of the primary reasons for installing a dash cam is to have video evidence in the event of a car accident. The footage captured by the dash cam can help establish who was at fault, providing clear evidence to insurance companies and law enforcement.
  2. Prevention of Insurance Fraud: Dash cams can help protect you from fraudulent insurance claims. In some cases, dishonest individuals may stage accidents or exaggerate damages to make false claims. A dash cam can capture the actual sequence of events, preventing you from being a victim of such scams.
  3. Driver Behaviour Monitoring: Some dash cams come with features that monitor driver behaviour, such as speed, braking, and lane departure. This information can be useful for self-improvement, coaching new drivers, or addressing any unsafe driving habits.
  4. Parking Protection: Many dash cams have a parking mode feature that continues recording even when the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This can help capture incidents such as hit-and-runs or vandalism that may occur while your car is unattended.
  5. Capture Memorable Moments: Dash cams are not just for accidents or incidents. They can also capture scenic drives, memorable road trips, or unexpected events that you might want to revisit or share with friends and family.
  6. Road Rage and Aggressive Driving: If you encounter instances of road rage or aggressive driving behaviour, having a dash cam can provide a record of the incident, which may be helpful if you need to report it to authorities.
  7. Enhanced Security: Some advanced dash cam models have built-in GPS and motion detection features. These can provide added security by tracking your vehicle's location and recording any unauthorized movements or attempts at theft.
  8. Protection Against Unlawful Activities: Dash cams can record interactions with law enforcement officers during traffic stops or other encounters. This can serve as a record of your behaviour and the officer's conduct, ensuring transparency and accountability.
  9. Parental Monitoring: If you have young or inexperienced drivers in your household, a dash cam can allow you to monitor their driving habits and provide constructive feedback for improvement.

Dash Cam Installation FAQs

The installation process for a dash cam will vary depending on the make and model of your car, and the dash cam system you intend to fit. However, generally speaking, the process involves mounting the camera in a convenient location, running a power cable from behind the dash up the a-pillar, along the top of the windscreen and into the dash cam. Dash cam systems integrating both front and rear cameras will require an additional cable to be run from the primary front facing camera to the secondary rear facing camera. Then it is a simple case of configuring the settings to suit your needs.

A dash cam can provide you with valuable evidence in the event of an accident or incident. It can help you prove who was at fault, protect you from fraudulent insurance claims, and even help you recover stolen property.

Some dash cams have a parking mode that allows them to continue recording even when the car is parked or off. However, this will depend on the make and model of your camera and whether it has a built-in battery, and it may require a constant power source that is active even when the vehicle is parked.
